T here is, perhaps, no better person to turn to when building a ski line. Lindsey Vonn is an Olympic gold medalist, earned two Olympic bronze medals, and has an astonishing 82 World Cup victories. There are arguably no athletes as skilled on the slopes. But her honors go even further as she was also named to Sports Illustrated "Fashionable 50" for three consecutive years. Vonn epitomizes the blending of fashion and performance making her the ideal partner for HEAD Sportswear, a company she has worked with for the past twelve years. Vonn says of the partnership, "Working with them for so long, we know each other well and have the same high standards for the fit and performance of the materials and design. I need to know that every part of the line is something I'd wear so I make a point of being a part of the process from start to finish." The Legacy Collection is a completely new look for the HEAD Sportswear brand that prides itself on creating unique ski wear. Designing this fashion-forward collection that ensures warmth, breathability, and movement is science for HEAD Sportswear. The pieces are developed at its HEAD Sportswear headquarters in Austria, engineered in Italy, and finally manufactured in Europe. The materials are both high tech and eco-friendly incorporating products such as cashmere and ethically sourced white goose down. Balanced on top of a mountain, goggles on, ski tips just over the edge waiting for the descent is the scene skiers dream of in between trips to a favorite resort. Few, however, likely consider what they are wearing in this picture. HEAD Sportswear helps complete the scene, putting the skier in high-performing, yet highly fashionable pieces from its new Legacy Collection in collaboration with Lindsey Vonn. V U E N J .C O M 57
