Louis Vuitton returns with its annual LV Ski collection for Winter 2026, bringing together alpine-inspired technical wear, luxury accessories, and après-ski dressing. Blending mountain-ready functionality with the house’s signature aesthetic, the collection explores how winter dressing translates from the slopes to the city.

The collection designed for with both menswear and womenswear brings together technical performance and the House’s signature elegance, extending its Art of Travel from snow-covered resorts to the city.

A New Approach to Alpine Dressing

For womenswear, cashmere, brushed silk, and Sherpa textures take centre stage across hooded jackets, knitwear, coats, and capes.

Monogram jacquard and embroidered denim details introduce familiar Louis Vuitton signatures, while softer silhouettes bring a more relaxed approach to winter dressing.

Accessories continue the alpine direction through icy, iridescent finishes. Monogram Pearly, Monogram Miroir and Monogram Empreinte Frozen feature across the bags, with holographic silver designs inspired by the appearance of glaciers.

The collection also brings a cosy après-ski feel to iconic styles, including the Capucines, with combinations of cashmere and shearling adding texture.

Technical wear Meets Streetwear

In menswear, technical outerwear takes centre stage through Monogram Macassar puffer jackets, coordinated sets and snowboarding pieces designed with water-repellent finishes.

The après-ski wardrobe takes a more relaxed direction, drawing on 1990s silhouettes, checked patterns and workwear-inspired details. Fuller proportions and layered pieces bring an urban sensibility to winter dressing.

The House’s signature motifs are reworked through winter-inspired graphics, including Monogram Argyle, Monogram Snowflake jacquard and the LV Summit motif.

Across the leather goods, reflective canvas and gold shearling add contrast to styles such as the Keepall, Discovery Backpack and Rush Bumbag. The Speedy P9 30 is also reimagined in calfskin with a denim effect and white shearling details.

Accessories for the Slopes

Footwear balances practicality with the collection’s luxury aesthetic. The Cortina line presents mules and boots in suede, shearling, and technical nylon, while the LV Trainer and City Ranger hiking boot receive their own winter-inspired interpretations.

The collection also introduces LV360, a new generation of ski goggles featuring a sculptural design and interchangeable lenses that adapt to changing light and weather conditions.

Beanies, scarves, and updated LV masks complete the collection, extending its winter-ready approach across accessories.

From the Mountains to the City

Moving between destinations such as Gstaad, Tokyo, Paris and Courchevel, LV Ski 2026 presents winter dressing as an extension of travel itself.

Rather than separating technical mountain clothing from the rituals of après-ski, Louis Vuitton brings both worlds together through considered materials, recognisable House codes, and versatile silhouettes.

For us at New Wave, the appeal lies in how the collection takes the alpine aesthetic beyond the slopes. It brings a fresh perspective to LV’s winter wardrobe, balancing the practicality of mountain dressing with the house’s signature luxury and offering pieces that feel just as relevant in the city as they do on a winter escape.
