Parajumpers draws inspiration from a glacial world dominated by snow-covered cliffs and the silence of nature. Human silhouettes stand out sharply against the majesty of an icy landscape, enveloped in stillness and dwarfed by the surrounding environment. In this breathtaking desolation, water appears to freeze mid-fall, and the rock faces glisten with snow. At the heart of this tableau emerges Parajumpers’ Frozen Falls collection: sculptural down jackets, cozy knitwear, and layered garments that, with their monochromatic tones and vibrant, saturated accents, both blend with and contrast against the scenery.
The landscape’s perfect simplicity profoundly influences the collection’s jackets. For men, the Easy coat is a long, three-layer design with interior padding. Minimalist in style and available in black, blue, and gray, Easy seamlessly combines practicality and sophistication. From the Blizzard line, Hayate pairs duck down insulation with three-layer poplin fabric, presented in dark, wintry shades and finished with an oversized hood.
For a shorter take on this essential look, there’s Tazio, featuring down insulation, fully taped seams, waterproof coating, and three-layer fabric; or Light Cloud, crafted from soft shell with zippered pockets.
In the women’s collection, this essential elegance takes on a feminine touch with the Riba and Abir jackets from the Powder Ski line. Made with three-layer water-resistant fabric and duck down padding, they’re perfect for braving the coldest temperatures. Available in a short version (Riba) or with a buckled belt (Abir), they add a natural elegance. The saturated colors of Riba and Abir create a striking yet harmonious contrast with the frozen landscape. This duality also shines in the women’s Anya jacket, crafted from sustainable ripstop Cordura fabric in a vibrant orange hue. On the men’s side, the Bold Parka, padded with down, delivers a bold splash of yellow in a monochromatic world.
The shimmering textures of ice and snow in the glacial world are also reflected in the collection. For menswear, the Senaand Miroku jackets from the Techno Puffers series feature iridescent micro ripstop with a ciré finish, while the Kodamapuffer includes a second ciré-effect fabric for a glossy, reflective look. The Powder Puffer stands out with its sculptural mix of shiny ripstop and polyurethane coating.
In womenswear, the “glacial” effect comes through in Tao, which combines matte poplin and glossy micro twill, highlighting the sculptural qualities of its down padding and adjustable waist. Similarly, Dawn, a two-in-one trench and puffer, merges laminated twill with a ciré finish, featuring an adjustable oversized hood, belted waist, and button closure—capturing the harmonious contrasts of the surrounding landscape.
The collection’s ultra-shiny pieces take inspiration from the sparkling beauty of frozen waterfalls. This is evident in the glossy black of Sento, a short, modern down jacket with a sleek finish, and in Arum Flower, where the extra-glossy surface enhances the tulip-shaped hood and long A-line silhouette.
Layering lies at the heart of the collection, with overlapping garments, fabrics, and accessories offering practical warmth and an exploration of volume and depth. Parajumpers beanies pair with balaclavas, headbands complement turtlenecks, and oversized scarves envelop puffer jackets.
The collection emphasizes layering possibilities throughout. For men, jackets of varying weights pair with pieces like the Dominic sweater, featuring a full zip and extra-fine merino wool, or the Trident fleece hoodie. For women, there’s Dalida, a soft and contemporary alpaca-merino blend sweater, and Gia, an ultra-fine merino ski layer paired with a form-fitting turtleneck.
