SS25 Collection Design & Development | X-Bionic

As a key member of the design team for X-Bionic’s SS25 collection, I played an integral role in the creation and development of apparel and socks, with a specific focus on introducing products for the brand’s new trail running category. Collaborating closely with the Creative Lead, I developed a cohesive color palette that unified the apparel, X-socks, and the new TerraSkin trail running shoe, highlighting the season’s signature shade: Neo Pink.

The challenge was to design performance-driven products that could meet the demands of elite athletes like Nùria Picas, ensuring they could perform at their best in extreme conditions, such as high-altitude ultra races. X-Bionic’s DNA—cutting-edge thermoregulation and sweat management technology—was embedded into every aspect of the design, while also integrating a fresh, contemporary aesthetic.

Key highlights of my contribution include:

  • Effektor Update: Co-designed and developed a new compression system that supports trail runners by reducing muscle fatigue and enhancing blood circulation. Additionally, redesigned the iconic Effektor shorts and tights, adapting them for trail running with a lighter, unicolored look. These were integrated into a new 2-in-1 trail running short with a zippered pocket, created alongside the Effektor Shirt for both men and women.
  • Corefusion Shirt: Designed & developed a new product with an emphasis on skin cooling. The Corefusion Run products blends X-Bionic’s signature seamless sweat management technology with a regular fit and a modern, sleek design.

My work ensured that the SS25 collection stayed true to X-Bionic’s performance heritage while introducing a bold, trail-specific vision for the brand’s future.
