Since 1959, ellesse has been characterized by a unique spirit and style. It began when Italian tailor Leonardo Servadio combined his passion for skiing and tennis with a flair for couture. The result was the first ever ski and tennis collection that looks as good as it feels and fits as well as it performs. Leonardo Servadio branded his work with his initials LS, which then evolved into "ellesse" and a new concept was born: exclusive, performance-oriented sportswear tailored for precision with true Italian flair. Today, ellesse is a legendary brand that has shaped every decade with its unique personality and still combines sporty silhouettes with Italian chic today.
