When Freestyle Becomes Wearable Art
Some collaborations don’t need explanations — they feel inevitable.
The meeting of André Saraiva, one of Europe’s most recognisable street-art voices, and ELHO, the reborn icon of alpine performance-wear, is one of those encounters: spontaneous, colourful, pulsing with energy, yet finely attuned to craft and form.
The result is not a single item but an entire universe:
a comprehensive capsule collection where high-performance outdoor pieces merge with the playful, poetic visual world of Saraiva’s legendary Mr. A.
The Collection: functional & bold
The André × ELHO collection includes jackets, vests, base layers, pants, and accessories that blend technical functionality with an unmistakably urban edge.
Saraiva’s signature elements run throughout: hand-drawn motifs, expressive lines, lively colour contrasts — and always a wink of humour.
This is performance-wear that works.
Performance-wear that stands out.
And performance-wear that celebrates the joy of movement — whether on alpine snow or city streets.
The Limited Edition: ten wearable originals
Within the collection sits a striking highlight: a limited series of ten hand-sprayed ice-pink bomber jackets, each one created directly by Saraiva..
As Saraiva puts it:
“My passion has always been painting on all surfaces … as if the world were an endless canvas.”
These jackets embrace exactly that spirit: art that travels.
About André Saraiva
André Saraiva is the definition of a cross-disciplinary artist.
His iconic Mr. A, born in the Parisian streets of the early 90s, became a cultural symbol — a smiling, mischievous figure balancing romance and rebellion.
But Saraiva’s world is far bigger than a character. He designs hotels and clubs like artistic environments (Hôtel Amour, Le Baron), collaborates with fashion houses, bridges nightlife and contemporary art, and transforms spaces with a mix of charm, satire and spontaneity.
His creative signature remains constant:
light, intuitive, bold — and always a little playful.
A collaboration shaped by shared energy
Instead of asking why ELHO and why now, it feels more natural to look at the creative chemistry itself.
ELHO Freestyle blends alpine performance with a youthful, expressive spirit.
Saraiva brings fluidity, colour, instinct and the belief that art belongs everywhere.
Both worlds meet in the same mindset: freestyle as an attitude.
“Freestyle is about following your instincts and letting an abstract painting emerge.”
In this collaboration, that instinct becomes visible — and wearable.
A collection that moves
The André × ELHO Kollektion is street art made functional. Performance-wear with personality.
A winter statement as comfortable on the slopes as it is in the urban landscape.
Here, clothing becomes gesture.
A line.
A freestyle moment.
