Jacquemus is officially taking his signature Mediterranean minimalism to the mountains. Designer Simon Porte Jacquemus has launched his first skiwear collection with Nike, expanding their long-running collaboration into a new winter-ready chapter. The 18-piece Nike x Jacquemus Après Ski collection—featuring triple-layer GORE-TEX jackets, pants, a women’s woven jumpsuit, stirrup leggings, technical base layers, and more—released on November 26 at Jacquemus stores and online before rolling out to nike.com and select retailers on December 3. The launch builds on the brand’s growing presence in winter destinations, following its Courchevel pop-up that has been running since 2023.

For Jacquemus, the move into alpine apparel is deeply personal. “I have always been a fan of skiing; it’s my favorite sport and has been my favorite winter getaway since I was young,” the designer said. A longtime collector of vintage ’80s ski pieces, he channels that fascination into the collection’s rounded silhouettes, plush proportions, and retro color palette—most notably the black and pale neon green outerwear. At the center of the line are the multi-functional GORE-TEX jackets, which feature a water- and windproof shell paired with a zip-in bomber jacket lined with Primaloft insulation. The details remain quintessentially Jacquemus, from the quiet tailoring to the subtle Nike x Jacquemus co-branding and the signature J-shaped belt loops on the coordinating GORE-TEX pants.

The collection extends beyond outerwear into slope-ready fashion designed with versatility in mind. For women, a stretchy, water-repellent woven jumpsuit offers a sleek, contoured fit, while ultra-high-waisted leggings with stirrups and a sculpted bralette function as both base layers and après ski staples. The men’s offering includes a sport-inspired long-sleeve top with thumbholes that can be worn alone or layered for insulation, along with a reimagined Jacquemus men’s shirt crafted in water-repellent fabric with a back J-loop and chest pocket—bringing a touch of the brand’s signature tailoring to performance wear.

In tandem with the apparel, Jacquemus is also debuting a limited-edition collaboration with French ski specialist Lacroix: a pair of bold orange-and-black striped skis and a matching mask arriving December 1. The project underscores Jacquemus’ continued expansion into lifestyle and sport-driven categories, all while maintaining the playful sophistication that defines the brand. This skiwear drop marks the latest evolution in the Jacquemus x Nike partnership, which began in 2022 with collections inspired by vintage Nike ACG and ’90s campaigns and has since produced the viral Swoosh bag, Paris-themed capsules, and a contemporary reinterpretation of Bill Bowerman’s hand-built Moon Shoe.

By bringing high-performance technical fabrics and minimalist French design to the slopes, the Nike x Jacquemus Après Ski collection bridges two worlds—uniting mountain culture, fashion innovation, and urban cool. It’s a new chapter not only for the collaboration, but for Jacquemus himself, who continues to push the boundaries of what his brand can be, from lavender fields to snowy peaks.
