Made For The Slopes: Michael Kors announces second collaboration with Ellesse

Coming off the success of their inaugural collaboration, iconic American fashion brand Michael Kors and luxe Italian sportswear brand Ellesse have teamed up for a special ski capsule. Fronted by Emily Ratajkowski, who starred in the collaboration’s launch, and model David Agbodji, the campaign’s chic après-ski images bring the collection’s vibrant, sporty and glamorous designs to life. The campaign was shot by photographer Daniel Clavero and styled by Mel Ottenberg, editor-in-chief of the cult pop magazine Interview.

The new Michael Kors x Ellesse capsule offers a vivid take on ski resort style. Evoking the bold attitude and confident cool of a day on the slopes, the capsule is emblazoned with a one-of-a-kind insignia that fuses Michael Kors’ iconic logo with Ellesse’s tennis-and-ski-inspired one.

Ellesse is a trailblazer in bringing high style to the world of skiing, and I’ve always designed clothing and accessories that combine glamour and ease. I’m thrilled with the capsule of luxe, glamorous sportswear that we’ve collaborated on—it works perfectly whether you’re at the ski lodge or hitting the city streets,” says Michael Kors.

Established in 1959 in Italy by tailor Leonardo Servadio, Ellesse was initially inspired by the previously unknown concept of style-conscious skiwear and this core has underpinned the brand ever since. Since then, Ellesse has now become globally renowned as the original sports fashion brand, recognized for its high-quality, bold, and colorful sportswear apparel and footwear, enabling its wearer to express their style with confidence. www.ellesse.com, with the brand also available in more than 54 other territories internationally.
