As women are perpetually in transit, Sportmax turned its attention to their travel comfort. For pre-fall, the design team doubled down on its favorite crowd-pleaser: exaggerated proportions. Enter oversized leather bombers and premium fleece styles, generously equipped with detachable hoods, towering collars, and bibs that suggest survival, not just warmth. These were layered over joggers of such inflated proportions that turbulence would become irrelevant, and even economy class would feel like a breeze.
Designed for women always en route, the collection treats travel less as a destination than a condition. Oversized double coats and rotund roomy blousons balloon into sculptural outerwear, while hybrid jackets zip between drama and efficiency, like an outfit adjusting for airport security. Leather bombers cinch and release with tubular boudin belts, offering the comforting illusion of control over one’s silhouette.
Ultra-light lyocell denim masqueraded as workwear but behaved like jersey, suitable for long-haul sitting disguised as movement.
Cashmere knits swelled into portable shelters, and hoods turned architectural. Sculptural tailoring and elevated faux athleisure followed suit: rounded trousers, cocooning overshirts, and leather pants were fastened with industrial snaps, perfect for frequent boardings.
