In this window shopping series, we'll be reviewing a number of labels, from the mainstream to the up and coming. I'll be checking out the men's ranges and Kate will be doing the chicks. So, without further ado, my first choice to go under the microscope is one of the biggies - Rossignol.
So what to say about this year’s Rossignol gear? Well, in my view there’s something for everyone, from the terrain park lovers to the ski chic. If you can’t find something that you like in this collection, then you’re in trouble. Personally, I’m after one of the Starling GTX PR jackets in Grey and White (above right) and the Gemini Shell PT trousers in Orange (below left). Would love to get my hands on that so if anyone from Rossignol is listening...
Still, enough about what I’m after. Other jackets to keep an eye out for are the two Acute jackets (the Acute and the Acute Print) and the Finche PR which all build on last season’s themes of hedonistic patterns and colours. If you’re not feeling quite that bold, then there is a big range of jackets in plain colours and mellow patterns which are generally available in classic black or red (with the odd one being available in other bright colours). Finally, if none of those light your fire, check out the more unusual Finche jacket with its plastic-finish.
In terms of pants, there are fewer patterns than on the jackets and instead the main focus is on a bigger range of cuts and colours to keep you stylish. What patterns there are are on the mellow side but the colours more than make up for that with the overriding theme bring bright primaries and orange.
Other pieces of kit to check out are the toxic fashion helmet in White/Green or if you’re after yet more patterns, check out the SAS helmet.
All in all, this is definitely a good starter for ten. Next for me will be up and coming brand, Nomis.
Cheers
Jez
