The collection focused a lot on huge, exaggerated shapes, especially with oversized puffer jackets in bold color blocks or covered in crystals. Denim pieces were covered in shiny sequins that made them look frozen. The designers also brought back vintage ski style from the 70s with sweaters and cardigans showing snowboarders, skiers, and gold medals. Big fur coats, shearlings, padded nylon pants, and square‑toe ski boots mixed apres ski style with the brand’s usual cowboy influence.
For womenswear, the Caten brothers kept the sporty theme but made it feel more couture. Oversized duvet and bomber jackets had giant bows and fur collars, and some corsets and mini dresses were made from taken‑apart jacket pieces. The finale showed latex ski suits that looked futuristic, paired with ski boots redesigned into sculptural, heelless shapes that felt almost cyberpunk.
