Infinite Curves / blackcrows

Spotlight on the new apparel, ski and lifestyle collections.

Born in Chamonix and raised by altitude, blackcrows has long mastered the balance between precision and poetry. Founded in 2006 by pro freeskiers Camille Jaccoux and Bruno Compagnet, the independent French label emerged from a shared vision to merge beauty and efficiency into one seamless expression of motion. Later, blackcrows continues to define a visual and technical language where performance, freedom, and form coexist as a singular art.

The brand’s latest apparel collection expands this dialogue between movement and engineering. Each garment is crafted from advanced textiles developed in Japan and Switzerland, designed to protect, breathe, and adapt to the elements. The Dermizax™ membrane by Toray, engineered in Japan, combines four-way stretch with full waterproof and windproof performance, ensuring optimal comfort and moisture management during high-intensity movement. From Switzerland, Schoeller®-ecorepel® offers a PFC-free water and dirt-repellent finish, while Schoeller® c_change® integrates a climate-adaptive membrane that reacts to temperature and humidity, regulating airflow for maximum comfort. Completing the system, Pertex® NetPlus®, made from 100% recycled fishing nets, and Pertex® Quantum, woven from ultrafine technical yarns, deliver lightweight durability and insulation efficiency. Performance with a conscious edge.

“We aim for the pleasure of the senses through freedom and adventure. We believe that ski culture is a window to the world.”

On the mountain, the new ski collection embodies blackcrows’ design philosophy: precision engineered for intuitive control, with shapes and graphics that celebrate motion itself. Each model is conceived to carve fluidly through changing terrain, merging responsiveness with a sense of natural flow. The visual language, inspired by patterns found in nature, mirrors the repetition and rhythm of snow in motion, translating geometry into experience.

Off the slope, the lifestyle line bridges alpine heritage with contemporary form. Minimalist silhouettes and weather-adaptive fabrics bring mountain performance into everyday life, creating pieces that transition effortlessly between the peaks and the city. It’s a collection that carries the essence of altitude while embracing the rhythm of modern movement.

For blackcrows, performance is not about conquering the mountain, it’s about connecting with it. Every fiber, flex, and curve is informed by listening: to riders, to terrain, to the silence between turns.
