While December may be the most popular time for winter holidays, ski enthusiasts know that January is the true heart of the season. The mountains are at their powder-perfect best now, and the style stakes are high. From high-performance technical jackets to couture-inspired puffers, winter proves that alpine adventures can be luxurious and thrilling.
In Chanel’s Coco Neige 2025/26 collection, snow-capped peaks set the scene for couture sportswear silhouettes that play with alpine chic. Key pieces include a pink taffeta puffer jacket and matching trousers worn with a sheepskin trapper hat, a multi-hued navy cardigan with dark technical trousers, a green and purple tweed suit, and an ecru cashmere sweater embellished with a black bow.
Pharrell Williams’ Louis Vuitton 2026 Men’s Ski Collection elevates an alpine wardrobe with high-performance skiwear. It features technical ski suits, insulated jackets, and integrated trouser BOA systems for snowboard boots and hooks, along with detachable sleeves and quilted windbreakers, all made from waterproof, water-repellent fabrics.
LV Tartan Pixel and Monogram Flower motifs appear across innovative materials, while apres-ski pieces, including shearling truckers and mink bombers, radiate sophistication.
For a winter style defined by precision and craftsmanship, look no further than Moncler Grenoble’s Fall/Winter 2025. Designed for warmth and protection, the collection includes Japanese-engineered denim, shearling-trimmed gabardine coats, quilted Gore-Tex and Dermizax DX outerwear, and artisanal knits.
Meanwhile, Loro Piana’s Holiday Collection for F/W 2025/26 offers day-to-dark looks shaped by fluid drapes and layered textures. From fuzzy mohair and tactile loop to light-catching velvet and cloud-soft baby cashmere, rich materials create sensory contrast, while Zibeline leather in the Loom and Extra Bag adds dynamic edge, complemented by the Bale Softy bag in soft leather.
Carry On
This year marks the 130th anniversary of the Monogram, a symbol of Louis Vuitton’’s heritage and craftsmanship. Designed by Georges Vuitton in 1896, the emblem combines the LV initials with floral motifs inspired by Neo-Gothic ornamentation and Japanese culture. This milestone celebrates legendary bags like Speedy, Keepall, Noé, Alma, and Neverfull, as well as three special edition collections: Monogram Origine in soft pastels, VVN made of natural cowhide leather, and Time Trunk, which reinterprets historic trunk textures through trompe-l’œil artistry.
