Jil Sander has unveiled a new high-performance mountain sports collection in collaboration with technical apparel and outwear label Arc’teryx.
Designed for those who enjoy an active and outdoor lifestyle, the two brands have worked together to create womenswear, menswear and unisex capsules for the Italian fashion house. Sander’s Creative Directors, Lucie and Luke Meier, selected the performance-wear brand based on its long-standing commitment to “functionality, authentic performance and innovation”.
Consisting of three jackets, as well as a classic pair of bibbed trousers and a one-piece suit, the line incorporates influences from skiing, snowboarding and other mountain activities, optimising “Arc’teryx’s engineering and technical trades”.
Available in three solid colourways (white, black and a blue-grey) the collection comes as part of the Jil Sander+ selection, and mixes the design house’s aesthetic codes with Arc’teryx functionality, with technical fabrics such as 3L Gore-Tex used alongside leather overlays and new shapes and silhouettes.
The Jil Sander x Arc’teryx collection will be available from November 10th, through both of the label’s official e-commerce sites and physical stores, on the Ssense platform and at select retailers.
