Please provide an overview of how 2021/22 is shaping up for your brand. Has COVID-19 affected your line? If so, please explain the changes you have made, and how you came to these decisions.
The health crisis has allowed us to improve our carry over and essentials strategy and to rationalize our collections, to facilitate the work of our retailers, to accompany them as well as possible towards this new season where the old collections must be combined with the new ones in shop.

What is the overall theme behind your FW 22/23 outerwear range? From which big trends do you take your inspiration?
The inspiration for the colours and prints comes from the colours found in nature during its seasonal changes. And the cross-cutting theme of our collection, the campaign theme is Make An Impact, which illustrates how our smallest actions can have a big impact on our environment. Nature is really central in our choice of materials, colours, prints etc.

What new fits / silhouettes are coming out in FW 22/23? What pant and jacket styles are most important in your range?
In FW 22/23 we introduce new silhouettes dedicated to backcountry touring, 3L jackets, pants, adapted layering, merino tencel base layers and neckwarmers, 3N1 mittens with liner gloves, of course with the Picture touch, colourful and bold. We also launch new styles for Women and Girl, warmer puffy ski jackets.

What new colours / prints are you introducing?
We introduce 3 new, very different and feminine prints, one being cloudy/smoky textured effect, one that remains traditional ciment tiles and a floral photoprint
