STRIPED SWEATER
Inspired by the late "70's Snow Time Line, this 100% pure wool sweater was reinterpreted in 2021 as a part of FILA's 110th anniversary celebration.
REIMAGINED CLASSIC
VINTAGE COOL

ARGYLE KNITWEAR
Pierluigi Rolando’s 1982 drawings are periodically included inside of FILA’s collection archives, illustrating – quite literally – the versatility of the design of this classic wool jumper.
TECH & CLASSIC
MODERN PREP
In 2010 rhombuses are added to the design of the jumpers of the vintage womenswear collection. For the 110th Anniversary Collection, the inspiration of that design translates to a crewneck sweater, a turtleneck sweater, and a sweater with zipper. In a continuous effort to evolve, it’s naturally suitable for both performance and fashion.

WHITE ROCK JUMPER
On May 8th, 1978, Reinhold Messner made his ascent of Mount Everest along with Austrian mountaineer Peter Habeler, remarkably, without supplemental oxygen. They achieved this monumental feat while wearing FILA mountain gear.
