Massimo Osti Studio - Chapter 07: GORE-TEX INFINIUM™
21st November 2024
Massimo Osti Studio introduces Chapter 07, reinterpreting GORE-TEX INFINIUM™, the pioneering high-performance fabric equipped with a membrane that ensures breathability, water resistance, and windproofing.
First patented in 1976, GORE-TEX has become synonymous with advanced technology and reliability in extreme conditions. A cult favourite among those seeking high performance in both urban and outdoor environments.
Inspired by Massimo Osti’s experimental approach to multilayer fabrics—where structures and taping typically hidden inside were exposed— Massimo Osti Studio reimagined GORE-TEX INFINIUM™, by placing the nylon tricot mesh, usually found on the inside, on the outside, with the GORE-TEX shell positioned internally.
This process preserves the fabric’s performance properties while introducing a new visual dimension with striking chiaroscuro effects.
The Chapter includes four GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ garments, led by the standout Fog Jacket, featuring a removable collar with adjustable side velcro and a concealed hood. The collar can be attached to an inner gaiter with a zip, including a small zip pocket for essentials. Side ventilation zips enhance breathability.
Rounding out the GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ lineup are a Down Jacket, trousers, and a five-panel cap. Completing Chapter 07 is a sweater, cardigan, and reversible scarf crafted from extra fine merino wool with a double-knit construction.
Chapter 07 is available exclusively on massimoosti.com starting November 21st, 2024.
