A rescue service as a source of inspiration
Anchorage, Alaska is home to the "210th Rescue Squadron," which specializes in conducting rescue operations and extreme recoveries from the most climatically harsh and remote corners of the globe. Whether it's downed ships, distressed climbers at 4,000 meters or sunken submarines, these men are trained to handle any situation imaginable. Called PJs, these men are short for Parajumpers. One member of this organization served as the inspiration for an entire outerwear collection that is now known worldwide. Massimo Rosetti, a fashion designer, pioneer and importer of American brands for the Italian market founded the label Parajumpers in 2009 after his encounter with a "210th Rescue Squadron" member. High-tech elements combined with fashionable components resulted in a collection that is both functional and stylish.
