On 20 December, French luxury skiwear brand Fusalp joined LVMH-owned watchmaker Zenith in Geneva to fête the brands’ new capsule collection, which includes the Defy Classic Skeleton Fusalp watch, priced between 9,900 and 10,900 Swiss francs (£8,800-£9,700), as well as a men’s and women’s snowsuit. The party bookended a milestone year for Fusalp: the 70-year-old brand is eyeing significant growth after receiving €15 million in funding in 2022, including a €7.5 million investment in May from private equity fund Mirabaud Lifestyle Impact and Innovation. In attendance at the party: the fund’s private equity partner and son of Chanel co-owner Gerard Wertheimer, David Wertheimer.
