PARAJUMPERS

In recent years, Parajumpers has become one of the most sought-after fashion brands worldwide. The label sees itself less as a fashion house than as a project resulting from a cooperation between the designers Ape and Massimo Rossetti, who as a fashion designer and importer of American fashion to Italy can contribute a wealth of experience to the collaboration. The impetus for the creation of the Parajumpers brand came from a meeting Massimo Rossetti had with a member of the 210th Rescue Squadron in a bar in the middle of Alaska. Inspired by this meeting, the fashion designer created a masterpiece from which an innovative collection of fashionable outerwear was born, where practicality is a key priority. Those who rescue people in the most adverse weather conditions need clothing that can withstand those conditions.

PARAJUMPERS

A rescue service as a source of inspiration

Anchorage, Alaska is home to the "210th Rescue Squadron," which specializes in conducting rescue operations and extreme recoveries from the most climatically harsh and remote corners of the globe. Whether it's downed ships, distressed climbers at 4,000 meters or sunken submarines, these men are trained to handle any situation imaginable. Called PJs, these men are short for Parajumpers. One member of this organization served as the inspiration for an entire outerwear collection that is now known worldwide. Massimo Rosetti, a fashion designer, pioneer and importer of American brands for the Italian market founded the label Parajumpers in 2009 after his encounter with a "210th Rescue Squadron" member. High-tech elements combined with fashionable components resulted in a collection that is both functional and stylish.
