Ellesse
Ellesse can claim to having invented a definite, sophisticated, and personal style that has marked a before and after in sportswear. Its Italo-retro essence revolutionized the world of tennis and skiing which spread years later to the streetwear world, with a vintage aesthetic that combines the elegance of the classics with the vitality of a fresh, modern, and enthusiastic youth.
From the court to the street
Ellesse emerged in the late 1950s, when Leonardo Servadio ("Elle & Esse") decided to create the perfect outfit for the tennis court and the ski slope. The result merged functionality and style, and ended up breaking the boundaries between fashion and sport. In fact, Ellesse was one of the pioneering brands to make its logo visible on its clothing line, and created the legendary 'jet pants' which were ski pants with a padded panel on the knees and a tight fit, allowing total freedom of movement and flattering the figure. By the 1980s, the brand had already become a global legend. Ellesse represents the evolution of technical clothing and embodies the rich sporting tradition from Italy to all parts of the world.
La Dolce Vita
Ellesse starts from classic style, satisfying 80s nostalgia with vintage patterns. Its modernity lies in its extraordinary ability to immerse sportswear in the urban scene, staying true to its principles and the philosophy of the brand and creating the perfect look for an active lifestyle. In each of its designs, Ellesse proclaims self-confidence and a passion for life, an attitude that permeates with color, vitality and energy in the purest Italian style..
Liam Hodges x Ellesse
This year, British designer Liam Hodges joined Ellesse to launch an exclusive capsule that fuses the personality of both brands. The collection is inspired by Ellesse's archives for snow sports and emphasizes its streetwear style with Liam Hodges and British modernity, combining 1950s sport style with contemporary urban fashion. The color palette uses neutral tones, with a touch of blue that evokes the icy landscape and a crystallized pattern that emulates ice and snow. The logo completes the look, symbolizing a tennis ball and the tips of skis, added by the Italian brand name and the initials of Liam Hodges.
Since its official launch, Foot District offers you some of the most emblematic pieces of this collaboration, inviting you to immerse yourself in the most futuristic and heritage skiwear and snowboarding style.
