When the performance heritage of the French Alps collides with the irreverence of conceptual fashion, the result is compelling. Salomon and MM6 Maison Margiela unveil a new chapter of their collaboration for autumn/winter 2025, blurring the boundaries between technical garment and fashion statement, between outdoor function and urban instinct.

At the core of this new capsule lies a modular, gender-neutral clothing system designed for the layered realities of contemporary life. Yet another demonstration of Salomon’s relevance, a brand proudly represented by The Clothette.

The Apparel Collection: Technique Reinterpreted

The collection delivers a wardrobe that merges the attitude and distinctive detailing of both houses, rendered in a restrained palette of Deep Black, Abbey Stone, and Melange Oat, tones that evoke both technical precision and a confident urban character.

• Outerwear Statements:
  The hero piece is the Waterproof Down Parka, a fully waterproof puffer with sealed seams and an adjustable hood, embodying Salomon’s outdoor legacy. MM6’s aesthetic subtly infiltrates the design through elongated dual-zip pockets, a printed numeric label, and the signature white stitch line at the back. The Reversible Insulated Jacket explores duality: one side is quilted and graphic with discreet branding, the other is smooth and minimal, marked by an oversized MM6 numeric logo across the back.

  
  

• Mid-Layer Pieces:
  The collection revisits archetypes through a conceptual lens. The Motomesh LS reinterprets an early-2000s technical jersey as a long-sleeve piece with MM6’s characteristic oversized cut, finished with an embossed Salomon logo at the chest.

  Its counterpart, the Motomesh Pants, transforms the same technical fabric into wide-leg trousers, radically rethinking volume and proportion.

  Finally, the High Neck, a warm, breathable fleece, is reshaped with an exaggerated collar and unexpected proportions, merging comfort with MM6’s instinct for distortion.

The Sneakers: XT-MM6 and ACS PRO Reimagined

The footwear silhouettes punctuate the looks, offered in colorways that highlight their technical construction.

• The XT-MM6: Presented in three variations: An off-white monochrome version with black detailing and logos. Two black editions, one accented with bold silver touches, the other energized by vivid red highlights.

• The ACS PRO: Available in two iterations: a full-white version with gradient grey accents across the upper and sole. A more daring combination of bright yellow and black, injecting high-visibility energy into the silhouette.

A Cohesive Vision

The campaign accompanying the collection perfectly captures this tension between fashion and sport. Models are caught mid-motion, mid-conversation, navigating streets, parks, and undefined spaces. Styling and dialogue amplify the contrast, while the fragmented, sport-media-inspired video aesthetic shifts the mood from post-race euphoria to the backstage atmosphere of fashion week.

The result feels direct yet disjointed, familiar yet subtly offbeat.

The collaboration between Salomon and MM6 Maison Margiela offers an intelligent and relevant dialogue. It demonstrates how the technical expertise and heritage of an outdoor brand like Salomon can be elevated and reinterpreted to resonate with a demanding fashion audience.
