Kappa's first collection for Fédération Française de Ski is a style manifesto Two lines designed to accompany athletes from training to competition

Kappa joins forces with the Fédération Française de Ski (FFS) as its Official Technical Sponsor and Supplier, bringing its distinctive approach to the slopes, one that has always focused on combining technical research and aesthetic identity. This vision takes shape in a collection built around two complementary lines, designed to accompany the French team from competition to training.

At the heart of the collaboration is the 4CENTO line, dedicated to competitive skiing and featuring the 4CENTO 400 KOMBAT FFS racing suit. Designed to act as a second skin for athletes, the suit was also developed through testing at the Pininfarina Wind Tunnel in Grugliasco, with the aim of meeting the specific demands of different alpine skiing disciplines. While comfort and elasticity are essential in slalom and giant slalom to accommodate skiers' movements, aerodynamics and compression become crucial in super-G and downhill. This is where KAPPA SKI VACUUM SYSTEM TECHNOLOGY® comes into play, designed to help release the air that enters the suit through specially engineered, highly breathable panels on the back.

From competition to training, the 6CENTO line brings together jackets, trousers and full outfits designed to withstand intensive use on the slopes. Among them, the 6CENTO 602C FFS combines a two-layer stretch construction with quilted insulation, alongside taped seams and ventilation zips. A snow skirt and elasticated cuffs complete a design in which every detail serves a specific functional purpose, without compromising the brand's distinctive aesthetic identity.

Bringing the two sides of the collection together is a colour palette that draws directly on the French flag. Blue, white and red become the defining elements of the entire project, with colour combinations running throughout the different lines and shaping their visual identity. An immediate reference to France's sporting heritage, where the country's national colours meet Kappa's own design codes, translating a sense of belonging to the French team into a language that brings together performance, functionality and style.
