French Fashion Houses FusalP and Chloe Collaborate On New Ski Wear Collection
Fusalp, the French fashion house, owned since 2013 by Lacoste heirs Sophie and Phillipe Lacoste, is collaborating with the equally venerable Chloe on a ski wear collection. Fusalp has already been dubbed one of the “seven chicest skiwear brands” by L’Officiel and this collaboration can only add to their reputation. Here’s more detail, courtesy of WWD:
Chloé and Fusalp have teamed on a skiwear capsule collection, with co-branded technical outerwear, knitwear and accessories designed with an eye to the slopes as well as urban settings.
It’s the first time the two French labels, both founded in the early Fifties, have worked together. The collection will be sold on Net-a-porter first, and then, starting in November, on the web sites of both brands.
The pieces on offer include a quilted puffer jacket, high-waisted flared pants, a branded helmet and a ski suit.
Backed by a group of “high-profile, French investors,” Fusalp has grown to fifty stores, and claims its 2020 sales will be thirty million Euros.
More coverage of the collaboration can be found at MFFashion who report that the line includes “padded jackets, coats, shoes, tight pants, ski suits and thick sweaters.” Additional coverage can be found at Numero, and at Madame Figaro who write that Fusalp’s competition jackets are at the “cutting edge of the genre.”

According to Lacoste, “the brand new Court Drive trainer was made to enhance your freedom of movement.” According to Sourcing Journal, this is one of five new sneakers that Lacoste will be releasing for the Fall/Winter collection.

The design and materials, which include mesh, were chosen to bring freedom of movement and an unprecedented sensation of lightness.
A tricolour crocodile on the exterior side of the upper perfectly complements the subtle touches of blue, white and red on the tongue and outsole.A sculpted raised midsole increases the feeling of lightness and stability derived from the Court Drive. On the outsole, raised graphics inspired by the texture of a tennis net reinforce the sports heritage of this lifestyle trainer.
Available in seven different colours, the Court Drive’s palette ranges from efficient and understated white to bold yellow with on-trend fluorescent colour blocks that will delight colourmatching fans.
True to the athleisure trend combining comfort and style, the Court Drive will win over trainer enthusiasts everywhere with its unique, bold silhouette.
