TEMPLA, an Australian fashion label specializing in ski and snowboard apparel, has announced the launch of its '7th Edition' Olympic collection, a concise capsule that draws inspiration from the mountainous landscapes of the snowy Alps.
While the newest collection is packed with functional outwear pieces, each arrives infused with high-fashion design codes not typically seen on the slopes. For example, style elements range from Neo-impressionist looks to classic graphic linework. As a result, these extreme weather garments can be worn equally by professional skiers and snowboarders as they can by style-conscious city dwellers.
Some standout pieces within the capsule include the 'Naswa Puffer Cropped,' which is delivered in a unique ink-blotted outer shell, the 'OS Bomber,' which features a knit collar and dropped shoulders, and the 'Hara Cargo Wadded Pant,' an innovative ski pant made from cycled yarn.
