ALPINE MEMOIRS
"This Fusalp jacket was bought in Chamonix at the end of the 70s by my sister, who lived in Sixt in Haute Savoie. She wore it and then gave it to me as a present because I loved it. In turn, I wore it for several years because I didn't want to part with it." - Heidi, 78, Haute Savoie.
This jacket, with its flamboyant green 70s style, was bought in 1970 in the famous Chamonix valley. Owned by Heidi and then by her sister and niece, the jacket has stood the test of time, adding a touch of authenticity and memories to the dressing room of a family of inveterate skiers.
This garment, much more than just a fabric, is a living chronicle linking generations, and is a testament to Fusalp's expertise.
"When Heidi wore it with boots and a kilt, as in the photo, she turned heads. This jacket was a staple in her wardrobe." - Sylvie, Heidi's daughter.
ALPINE MEMOIRS
"This was my first made-to-measure skisuit, the first of a long collaboration with Fusalp, with trials of stretch materials capable of freeing up movement as much as possible, and colour positioning based on the judges' gaze and the specificities of Freestyle." - Christine Rossi, freestyle skier
Back in the early 80s, Christine was driven by the desire for a unique and elegant suit for her sport. Nadine, a stylist at Fusalp at the time, developed this women's suit, and Christine wore it on the freestyle World Cup podium. As a fashion design student, it was a confirmation of Christine's desire to link the worlds of sport and textiles.
"All my super stretchy ski suits have found their way into the Fusalp archives. However, this suit is one I've been jealously guarding, waiting to hear the news of Nadine's retirement" - Christine Rossi, Freestyle World Champion.
The time has come for Christine's wetsuit to return to Fusalp, its original home, in the expert hands of its designers. More than a garment, it carries precious memories for the wearer and designer, a tangible link to a time when dreams took shape on the snowy slopes of the World Cup, leaving an indelible imprint on the pages of alpine history."
ALPINE MEMOIRS
"This jacket has become a vector of memories, evoking the wonderful moments of the first ski outings with my daughters." - Gilles
Gilles was given this Fusalp jacket by his family and friends on Christmas Eve in the 90s. Today, it embodies precious memories for Gilles and his family, which take place on the snowy slopes of the Les Orres ski resort, in the very place where Gilles saw his daughters take their first hesitant steps into the world of skiing.
This Fusalp anorak, in bright shades of blue, white and yellow, evokes the exhilarating energy of the mountains. It symbolises not only protection from the winter cold, but also the timeless warmth of family bonds forged on the snowy slopes.
"As I hold this jacket, years after those precious moments, it remains a poignant reminder" - Gilles.
