Martine Rose and Napapijri continue their creative partnership with AW25 Drop 2, a collection that merges performance and attitude through elevated outerwear and bold textures. The capsule revisits Napapijri’s alpine heritage with Martine Rose’s offbeat sensibility, introducing new interpretations of the Skidoo parka in durable CORDURA fabric alongside the return of the floral fleece jacquard, now rendered in brown and teal. Hoodies, T-shirts, and beanies extend the print into casual silhouettes, creating a cohesive mix of sport, nostalgia, and design precision.
The images are captured by Alexandra Gordienko and styled by Tamara Rothstein; the campaign swaps the Alps for an indoor snow center on London’s outskirts, infusing everyday humor into high-performance fashion. Martine Rose and Napapijri channel a playful take on winter sports, proving that functionality and fun can share the same slope.
