Ski resort fashions seem to be of equal if not greater importance to the majority than the actual skiing itself. It’s all about that lifestyle and attitude. The outfit combined with the style of skiing expresses who’ people are? Or is that over analysing the situation?
Well anyway; here are a few outfits that seem to be making the headlines this season:
Moncler
Not really sure what to say here, I think the pictures say more than I could ever achieve with words. You’ll make your own mind up pretty quickly (or perhaps you already have from previous seasons resort sightings.) Let’s just say I don’t think they’re really for skiing in, whether they’re for doing anything else in – you decide.
J Lindeberg
JL hit the scene a few years back now with Jon Olsson as their star rider – they went into hibernation and now they’re back with a new range, and yes you can still buy it from surprise – surprise, Harrods. I actually had a sneaky try on of the grey outfit a couple of weeks ago – and its pretty slick.
Faiise
This year Faiise are making statements with their high street meets high fashion women’s range – I’d call it attainable elegance. These jackets and pants are available in your nearest Snow & Rock store and are British – designed in good old Sussex.
Willy Finder
Silly Willy? Well these are a bit of fun – but they kind of remind me of those romper suits that all the teenagers are wearing around London at the moment. Little bit silly, but if you’re happy to spend £150 on what’s essentially a fancy dress outfit then roll on with the purchasing. Personally I’d try to snap up some authentic vintage on Ebay or in resort.
How about the Russian snow bunnies in their Chanel ski suits?
Could come down to whether you're buying new each year or not – i.e timeless outfit – or the next trend.
