After a long day of carving crisp pow on the slopes, thereโs nothing quite like returning to the ski lodge for a beverage or three, to discuss the dayโs events with your mates. As youโre leaning on the table, cocktail in hand as you explain your mediocre exploits for the day, thereโs one way to make up for your terrible snowboarding skills: a fresh โfit. This season, Prada has made good outfits easy, linking with the team at Aspenx in a collection that promises peak performance on the ski slopes, whatever that looks like for you.
The collection features a trio of styles, cut for men and women respectively, and features two technical jackets and a more lightweight jersey. The two jackets, called the Extreme-Tex Jacket and Extreme-Tex Ski, feature a three-layer fabric that ensures both warmth and waterproofness, which is exactly what you need as youโre heading down a run.
Prada is responsible for the designs of the trio of garments, working with artist Paula Crown on the printed crisscrossed black and white pattern found across the collection. It wouldnโt be Prada without the brandโs signature red logo stripe, which is featured here in a nod to the sporty Linea Rossa line.

โWe are excited to reveal our partnership with Prada as an integral part of ASPENXโs inaugural lineup of premium offerings for the 2021/2022 ski season,โ said Crown about the collaboration.
โMore than a fashion collection, this collaboration is a physical representation of the one-of-a-kind spirit of Aspen just ahead of the destinationโs 75th anniversary. Built for uninhibited exploration, the capsule complements ASPENXโs founding vision of new possibilities, and I am beyond pleased to work with such a revered house as Prada on this momentous occasion.โ
Not only does the collaboration look good and keep you warm and dry, but itโs also produced sustainably. Prada was recently the first major fashion house to sign a five-year-long โgreenโ loan, meaning the jackets are produced using sustainable recycled materials.
The collection is currently available via Aspenx with prices ranging from $1,950 to $5,400.
