For the 26/27 Autumn and Winter season, padded and down jacket in the functional outdoor category take Symbiosis with Nature and Empowerment by Technology as their core concepts, focusing on sustainable, practical and multi-functional designs. In terms of color, natural and industrial tones such as Polar Glacier Blue and Future Dusk are blended to echo ecological responsibility and technological aesthetics; the silhouettes emphasize lightweight mountain style and detachable modular structures, combined with windproof and waterproof technical fabrics to achieve a seamless switch between outdoor protection and urban commuting; the design integrates multicultural elements such as folk patterns and color-block geometry, balancing hardcore functionality with a modern adventurous temperament to meet the dual demands of global consumers for high performance and fashion expression.
Thematic Colors The color palette of 26/27 AW functional outdoor padded and down garments breaks the boundaries of traditional naturalism, reconstructing natural and industrial elements from a technological perspective to form a multi-dimensional color system with both functionality and emotional value. Polar Explorer takes the two-way dialogue between extreme environments and future technology as its core trend concept, redefining the boundaries of outdoor aesthetics. It extracts the inspiration of cold and open space from the harsh polar ecology, such as the transparent blue of glaciers and the rime white of snowfields, symbolizing the original tranquility of nature; at the same time, it injects industrial functional genes, simulating the collision between machinery and nature through the luster of Silver Wing Metal and the lava tension of Blazing Red, echoing human’s desire to explore the unknown. It also blurs the boundary between reality and science fiction through virtual perceptual elements, metaphorizing the reinterpretation of nature by technology, and ultimately shaping a “Ice and Fire Symbiosis” aesthetic with both adventurous spirit and futuristic texture, infusing outdoor clothing with narrative depth and emotional resonance beyond functionality.
