templa

Founded in 2017 by Rob Maniscalco, Dellano Pereira, and former Ann Demeulemeester commercial director Anati Rakocz, Templa is a Belgian-Australian label that merges luxury fashion with extreme alpine performance. The brand was born from a desire to create outerwear that is as technically proficient on the slopes as it is aesthetically relevant in an urban environment. Templa’s collections are defined by minimalist shapes, innovative materials, and a futuristic tone, challenging the conventional look of performance gear. Core garments include meticulously engineered ski jackets, puffers, and shells that often feature advanced details like RECCO avalanche rescue systems, weatherproof fabrics from mills like Sympatex, and high-performance Primaloft insulation. The brand gained significant attention for its 2019 collaboration with iconic designer Raf Simons, which solidified its position within the high-fashion landscape. More recently, Templa has pushed into sustainable innovation, winning a 2024 ISPO Award for its 'Designing to Disappear' project—a biodegradable down jacket developed with Allied Feather + Down and Active Apparel Group. This commitment to forward-thinking design and responsible production defines Templa's unique space in the market, appealing to those who value both high-concept fashion and uncompromising function.
