Ellesse’s attitude toward life is represented by this phrase. A sportswear brand that originated in June of 1959 by Leonardo Servadio. Founded because he couldn’t find the skiwear he wanted so he designed it himself. Innovated and stylish skiwear that needs to perform splendidly while having flair is the ultimate goal for ellesse. By never taking things too seriously, ellesse is friendly and flirtatious.
Discovering a new fabric that enhances performance in the late 60′s and designing the “Jet Pant” in the 70′s put the ski world on notice. Becoming a jet set crowd favorite in the 70′s, Ellesse began a trend that is copied by brands the world round, putting it’s logo on the outside of their clothing. Glamour and playfulness is exuded by the iconic ads of the 80′s and in the 90′s ellesse continues to reinvent the idea and design of sportswear. Continuing to create classic Italian style with a twist, ellesse moves into the new millenium. Loving vibrancy and colors, ellesse embraces living for the moment.
From stylish Italian sportswear to the classic polo look to the pleated tennis skirt, made famous by the likes of Chris Evert and Hana Mandlikova, Ellesse has everything you need for the look you want.
