In the winter of 2020-2021, Candide Thovex, one of the world's most famous skiers, finally launched his own brand, "CANDIDE." The brand, which includes outerwear, apparel, and accessories, is full of the signature Candide style. Let's take a closer look at this brand
Candide Thovex -
A man who needs no introduction
Candide Thovex needs no introduction. He has been a force to be reckoned with in the snow sports world for the past few decades. His unique vision and stylish, technical snowboard-inspired riding style continues to inspire skiers around the world and constantly sets new standards
Candide's career highlights include becoming the first French gold medalist at the Winter X-Games, standing on the center step of the podium in all three ski disciplines (Big Air, Slopestyle and Superpipe), and overcoming the adversity of a serious injury accident in 2010 to win the Freeride World Tour, the highest level of freeride skiing
Candide then turned his attention to the world of video, unleashing his energy and talent. Since the release of "ONE OF THOSE DAYS," which stunned the world with its epoch-making and shocking video, he has produced countless videos, including "SKI THE WORLD" released in 2018, which have been viewed millions of times and delivered to people all over the world
"ONE OF THOSE DAYS" boasts an astonishing number of views
Pushing the limits and constantly creating new worlds
is the Candide way of life.
Candide began his career as a 16-year-old in 1999, during the dawn of freeride, and has consistently amazed the ski industry with his fearless, large-scale air tricks. He has also achieved many victories in the competition scene, and continues to push the limits in everything he does. Since shifting his focus to the world of video, his challenges have been as clear as day. Check out the videos he has posted on his YouTube channel, Candide Thovex
For Candide, skiing is a constant connection with nature, something he holds dear. Born and raised in La Clusaz, France, at the foot of the Alps, snow and nature are always close by, and they are what make him who he is. Skiing is also a way for him to express his creativity, which can only be described as genius.
Now, news has finally arrived that Candide has produced his own apparel brand, "CANDIDE." This marks a unique addition to Candide's already long-awaited lineup of challenges.

"CANDIDE" will debut this winter with a wide range of outerwear, apparel, and accessories. All items in the collection are conceived, designed, and produced under the supervision of Candide Thovex.

Looking at the design and texture, it's clear that Candide is very much a part of it. Candide has been Quicksilver's flagship rider for 19 years, but from now on, he'll truly be an icon in his own right.

(Super fast response!)
Currently, it is possible to purchase from Japan through the online store. Delivery is expected to take place within 5 to 8 days after ordering with card payment. Shipping costs are based on the weight of the order. The full-scale launch in Japan will begin next season
