Gigi Hadid unveils an exclusive collaboration between Guest in Residence and Halfdays, combining après-ski fashion, technical performance wear and cashmere for winter 2026.
The world of winter fashion embraces a new expression of sophistication with the collaboration between Guest in Residence, the knitwear label founded by Gigi Hadid, and Halfdays, the brand specialising in technical mountain apparel. The partnership brings together sportswear functionality and the relaxed elegance of contemporary luxury, promising to become one of the season’s most coveted collections.
The collaboration brings together two female-led brands that share a distinctive vision of fashion. On one side, Halfdays, co-founded by former Olympic freestyle skier Kiley McKinnon, contributes its expertise in designing high-performance clothing. On the other, Guest in Residence introduces its signature world of premium fabrics, enveloping textures and nostalgic aesthetics.
The result is an eight-piece capsule collection that reinterprets traditional alpine wardrobe codes for a new generation seeking to combine style and comfort, both on and off the slopes.

Inspired by mountain culture and the spirit of après-ski, the collection revisits the sporty aesthetics of past decades through functional silhouettes, sophisticated finishes and distinctive details that bring personality to each design.
Gigi Hadid herself has explained that some of her fondest winter memories involve wrapping up in layers and enjoying the snow until the ski lifts close. This sentiment is reflected in garments designed to accompany every moment of an alpine getaway.
Standout pieces include a technical one-piece ski suit, ski bib trousers, an alpine jacket and a roll-neck jumper, alongside thermal base layers and accessories designed to provide protection against the cold.
However, the collaboration’s true appeal lies in its combination of materials and textures. Technical fabrics feature embossed details inspired by cable-knit patterns, while certain finishes evoke both traditional corduroy and the distinctive lines left by snow-grooming machines on freshly prepared slopes.
This reinterpretation transforms functional sportswear into pieces with an aesthetic dimension that extends beyond their original purpose.
The combination of Kiley McKinnon’s sporting expertise and Gigi Hadid’s creative vision demonstrates how alpine fashion continues to evolve into a space where performance and luxury coexist effortlessly.
