ELHO x André Saraiva brings street art to alpine gear by applying the artist’s iconic Mr A character and bold linework across insulated jackets, hoodies, base layers and accessories. The capsule uses bright colour blocking in pink, green, yellow and black to reinterpret traditional skiwear through a graphic lens. One highlight is a padded three-layer jacket produced in a small run of hand sprayed versions, each finished individually by Saraiva. The pieces retain ELHO’s technical standards with weather-resistant shells, warm fill, articulated cuts and functional ski features.
The collection treats skiwear as both performance equipment and visual expression. Saraiva’s artwork is integrated into the garments without compromising mobility, insulation or durability. The mix of colour, character motifs and technical construction positions the capsule for both slope use and après ski environments.
