SILKEN EARTH

The new collection from Parajumpers takes inspiration from a landscape of uncompromising beauty

With its bone-white rocks jutting into the startling blue of the sea, the landscape of SILKEN EARTH has a strange, haunting beauty. Formed by volcanic eruptions millions of years ago, even now it has the air of a place utterly untouched by humanity, a breath-taking serenity. It is in this lunar landscape, far away from civilisation, that Parajumpers sets the story of its new collection.
The wearers of these garments are inextricably connected as they embark on a shared journey through this rugged environment – a communal experience that defies understanding. It’s their sense of quiet strength, of unspoken stoicism, that unites them as they traverse this uncompromising landscape.
There’s an affinity between this landscape and the pieces at the heart of this collection: soft, rounded shapes and flowing lines mirror the curves of the cliffs and rocks, while tone-on-tone colours and dusty, muted pastels take inspiration from the stone, sky and water.
For men, the collection offers lightweight fits and ultra-wearable shapes. See the minimalist construction of our Rip-Shell series, or the slouchy cool of our Fire Spring and Desert Spring of the Masterpiece series. Made using sustainable, plant-derived Solotex fibres, these lightweight yet resilient jackets incorporate a memory effect finish for grab-and-go effortlessness.
Similarly, the lightweight down puffers of the Reloaded Superlight and Super Lightweight series are designed to be flung on top of outfits for a little extra protection against the elements.
This easy-going summer style extends to our range of overshirts, such as the vintage-effect Millard, the military-inspired Pete and the garment-dyed Jannik. For breezier days, there are the hybrids of our Warm Up and Hybrid Featherweight series, which combine demi-gloss taffeta with jersey. All epitomise the casual elegance of the collection – these are pieces that both breathe and move.
Pair these pieces with the sweatshirts and sweatpants of our Super Easy and Rescue Fleece series, or layer over an exquisitely soft piqué knit for the perfect summer outfit.
For women, this laidback aesthetic is imbued with a feminine edge. Think defined silhouettes, seen on the nipped-in waists of jackets like the Fleece & Puffer, Bayside and Windbreaker series, which also features a stone-washed effect.
Innovative, multi-dimensional fabrics offer a thrillingly fresh take on leisurewear, seen in the laminated, garment-washed organza of the jackets of the Metal Glaze series. Similarly, the glossy ciré finish of the Techno Puffer and the memory-effect Solotex fabric of the Gobi Spring series provide a seasonal reinterpretation of classic outerwear pieces.
For quiet elegance, pull on matching pieces from our Grain Fleece, Leisure Fleece and Space Fleece series – designed for both comfort and fuss-free style.
This is a landscape whose very emptiness seems to draw us closer together. Solemn, serene and unyieldingly beautiful, this is SILKEN EARTH.
