Some collaborations go beyond mere stylistic exercises and become true manifestos. The SNOW ANGELS capsule collection, born from the artistic encounter between Jean-Charles de Castelbajac and the brand Rossignol, undoubtedly belongs to this category. Presented in Saint-Jean-de-Moirans, it marks the 23rd capsule collection between the French designer and the iconic Alpine brand, continuing an ongoing dialogue between art, colour and high technical performance.
This limited edition is based on a simple and powerful ambition: to liberate movement, electrify the white peaks and bring poetry into the world of skiing. With his stylised angels inspired by street art, his ‘Camoflake’ graphics and his instantly recognisable visual vocabulary, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac infuses the mountains with his creative energy, humour and quest for emotion. Rossignol, for its part, brings its textile expertise, its mastery of high-tech materials and its commitment to sustainability, giving rise to a collection where aesthetics and functionality form an inseparable pair.
Our selected SNOW ANGELS ensemble: elegance, performance and sustainability
To illustrate the strength of this capsule collection, we have chosen a complete women’s ensemble, designed to combine warmth, mobility, elegance and protection. Each piece comes from the SNOW ANGELS capsule collection and reflects both Rossignol’s technical excellence and Jean-Charles de Castelbajac’s (JCC) luminous artistic signature.
1. JCC Sublim ski jacket: technical expertise at the service of style
The first key piece, the JCC Sublim ski jacket (ref. RLOWJ22), priced at £990, stands out for its comfortable fit, signature graphic design and eco-friendly credentials. Its waterproof and breathable 20,000/20,000 membrane, PFC-free water-repellent treatment and 100% recycled Primaloft® Black insulation, certified by GRS, guarantee warmth, lightness and lasting protection, even in demanding conditions.
The outer fabric, made from 85% recycled materials, combined with four-way stretch, offers natural freedom of movement, perfectly suited to skiers who want to combine style and performance on the slopes.
2. JCC SNOW ANGELS jumper: softness, warmth and couture spirit
For the mid-layer, the choice fell on the JCC Snow Angels jumper (ref. RLOWO04), priced at £360.
This is an exceptionally refined piece, made from a luxurious blend of merino wool and cashmere.
Visually, the piece features the symbolic angels that Castelbajac has been drawing for thirty years, adding a delicate, feminine and almost imaginary touch to the silhouette.
It is both technical (natural warmth, breathability) and resolutely elegant, designed to extend the artistic spirit of the capsule into après-ski.
3. JCC Sublim ski trousers
To create a perfectly coordinated outfit, we’ve chosen the trousers from JCC Sublim.
Their fleece lining, windproof and breathable design, and softshell fabric with a soft, natural feel make them extremely comfortable. Combined with the jacket, they create a decidedly graphic and technical outfit that is entirely consistent with the capsule collection’s aesthetic.
This piece uses a shell made from 100% recycled materials, placing the entire collection firmly within a strong sustainability approach — a common theme for both Rossignol and Jean-Charles de Castelbajac in this capsule collection.
4. Accessories: JCC Stellar beanie & JCC ski mittens
No winter outfit would be complete without accessories that refine its aesthetics and functionality:
JCC Stellar beanie (ref. RLMWH16 – £55)
Made from a soft blend of acrylic, wool and nylon, it features a Castelbajac embroidered patch, visible in the images in this document, which adds a couture finish to a simple but essential piece. The bright colour and deep texture add an instantly recognisable graphic presence.
JCC mittens (ref. RLOWG08 – £120)
These mittens combine recycled Primaloft® Silver insulation, a waterproof/breathable IMP’R membrane and a durable leather palm.
Their blue pattern, inspired by JCC’s angels and silhouettes, faithfully reflects the artistic spirit of the capsule and adds a strong visual touch while ensuring warmth and protection in the coldest conditions.
A collection that combines freedom, colour and innovation
Through SNOW ANGELS, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac continues his exploration of white, innocence, colour and joy as a universal language. His angels, graphic lines and reinvented camouflage become an ode to the freedom of skiing, to creativity unfolding in the open air, to the constant interplay between movement and personal expression.
Rossignol, with over a century of expertise, translates this vision into durable, recycled, technical and protective clothing that preserves warmth, mobility and performance in the most demanding environments.
The selected ensemble — Sublim jacket, matching trousers, Snow Angels jumper, Stellar hat and JCC mittens — creates a complete silhouette where each piece interacts with the others to create harmony in lines, materials and colours. It is a total concept, designed as an aesthetic and sensory experience, as well as technical equipment for modern female skiers.
