‘Where Paths Meet’ is an A/W27 contemporary skiwear collection that explores the alpine landscape as a shared space where people from different backgrounds come together. Inspired by vintage postcards, ski culture, alpine landscapes and memories of place, the collection uses clothing as a vehicle for storytelling, creating emotionally durable garments with meaning beyond one season.
Responding to Gen Z values around nostalgia, individuality, sustainability and longevity, the project reimagines the mountains as vibrant, social and alive. Abstract prints are developed from mountain forms, contour lines, snowflake symmetry and movement across the slopes, creating layered compositions that suggest multiple journeys happening at once.
Colour is central to the collection, combining calm alpine tones such as snow white, soft grey and warm stone with high-contrast accents for energy, visibility and emotional impact. Knitwear also plays a key role, using Fair Isle influences, ribbed structures, textured stitches and bold patterning to bring comfort, tactility and alpine elegance.
Designed for the high street, the collection bridges performance, leisure and après-ski lifestyle, intended to be worn on and off the slopes. Through print, knit, colour and storytelling, ‘Where Paths Meet’ celebrates togetherness, movement and shared experiences of place.
