Ellesse.com - Shop ellesse - Italian sportswear since 1959 | From streetwear to everyday clothing, ellesse brings you style and comfort. Ellesse grew in popularity during the 1970s as a producer of skiwear such as quilted jackets and ski pants. In 1979, Ellesse's Jet Pant, a ski pant featuring padded knees and a wide lower leg to fit around a ski boot, was included in an event at the Pompidou Centre in Paris celebrating Italian design. The Ellesse logo references the form of a tennis ball with the shape of the tips of a pair of skis. Ellesse gained a reputation for combining sportswear functionality with street-level fashion styling. It was one of the first sportswear brands to feature their logo prominently on the outside of its garments.
