All about smart partnerships on the slopes this winter, as two LVMH brands, Dior Men and Pucci, unveiled their latest skiwear, both featuring design link-ups.

Chez Dior, the house’s creative director for menswear Kim Jones created a ski capsule working with Japanese brand Descente and featuring ultralight down jackets.
 
The ski collection, Jones’ fourth for Dior, also includes a series of retro-influenced prints conceived expressly for the house by the Scottish-born but Caribbean-based artist Peter Doig, including several wrap-around knits.

The third alliance in the capsule is a linkup with snow sports specialist Poc, with two helmets and a new pair of goggles, ideal for snowboarding in tonier ski stations this winter.
 
The new capsule will start retailing in Dior boutiques on Thursday, November 23.
 

Over in Italy, Pucci today put online its latest capsule linkup with active sports specialist Fusalp. Designed by the Florentine marque’s creative director Camille Miceli with Mathilde Lacoste, the collection stars Pucci’s dramatic signature prints. Blending winter chic with technical garments and thermal fabrics.
 
Everything from waterproof puffers and warm slim fit pants to sleek sport pullovers and stretchy knits, all made in bold green, purple and sophisticated greys. And finished with punchy detailing – like Pesce silver zips or embroidered badges that merges Pucci and Fusalp's logos.
 
Call both linkups – piste partnerships.
