Japanese based brand DESCENTE has its name from the french term for downhill skiing. In the 1950s they started with a small production in baseball clothing and a ski jacket. Since then a lot changed and developing new products and new technologies didn’t stop.

The ALLTERRAIN Fall/Winter 15 lookbook proofs, that DESCENTE has the competence for design in combination with high-end materials.

To ensure ultimate freedom of movement by the weather, all of Descente’s paper patterns are created using a 3D design technique known as „Motion 3D“. These patterns are actually 3D garment simulations made of paper, rather than soft fabric, in order to ensure exact confirmations of the finer details. This method make the verification process much more precise and ultimately results in superior comfort when actively worn.

Every single piece that is carefully hand-crafted has its own special story to tell.
Behind every such item is a history of technique preserved over time, in addition to the life experiences of the artisans who made it. It exists as a result of a long progression through many pairs of hands.
