Revived Deadstocks :
When visiting Millet offices we learnt they had a large archive of left over premium performance Fabric stocks ranging from 60 - 250 Mtrs in a variety of colours , from 3L GoreTex®to Polartec® Fleece. We therefore to the opportunity breathe new life & purpose into these forgotten fabrics & to that we decided to create a limited number of unique garments made from these deadstocks .
Design & Development :
Millet are experts in producing high performance technical garments , with this oppourtunity we chose to merge the strength of urban (everyday) streetwear design at Element with the finishing & fabrication abilities of Millet . For example alpine slim fiting garments redesigned to a relaxed fit to allow multiple layering options or pockets added for urban easy , where a harness may have sat before
Blurring the line between skateboarding and bouldering, Millet and Element shared this adventure that inspired not only a special collection, but also a trip mixed of climbers and skaters from the fields of Sintra to the streets of Lisbon.
