Slope Life

We all know the importance of a good apres-ski look. But what about what you wear before you hit the lodge and start nursing bourbon by the fire? With more designers turning their focus to the slopes this season, you'll have no shortage of fashionable options for careering down that snowcapped mountain. Fendi and Louis Vuitton aim to keep your fingers warm and stylish, while Etro and Tommy Hilfiger have crafted puffy jackets and vests as suitable for the runway as they are a steep run. So toss on a scarf and strap on those planks--because it's all downhill from here.
