Mitropoulos commented: “I’m excited to join Perfect Moment at this pivotal stage in its evolution, where it enjoys a tremendous growth opportunity as an increasingly popular global luxury lifestyle brand. Its recent expansion into seasonal retail stores further strengthens and supports our strategy to deepen direct-to-consumer engagement.”
“I also see valuable strategic opportunities in expanding Perfect Moment's wholesale network, building and enhancing our partnerships with high-profile partners, and laying the groundwork for even greater success,” added Mitropoulos. “This includes our new collaboration with Diageo’s Johnnie Walker—the world’s most popular Scotch Whiskey.”
The company has become one of the most followed luxury ski brands in the world through a wide range of marketing activities which has attracted global media coverage. This includes the recent co-marketing launch of the new limited-edition Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ice Chalet, with the bottle and convertible bag designed by Perfect Moment.

About Perfect Moment
Founded in 1984 in the mountains of Chamonix, Perfect Moment is a high-performance luxury skiwear and lifestyle brand. It blends technical excellence with fashion-forward designs, creating pieces that effortlessly transition from the slopes to the city, the beach, and beyond.
Initially the vision of extreme sports filmmaker and professional skier Thierry Donard, the brand was built on a sense of adventure that has sustained for over 20 years. Donard, fueled by his personal experiences, was driven by a desire to create pieces that offered quality, style and performance, pushing the wearer in the pursuit of every athlete’s dream: to experience ‘The Perfect Moment.’
In 2010, British-Swiss entrepreneurial couple Jane and Max Gottschalk took ownership of the brand. Under Jane’s creative direction Perfect Moment was injected with a new style focus, one that reignited the spirit of the heritage brand, along with a commitment to improving fit, performance and the use of best-in-class functional materials. As such, the designs evolved into distinct statement pieces synonymous with the brand as we know it today.
Today, the brand is available globally, online and via key retailers, including MyTheresa, Net-a-Porter, Harrods, Selfridges, Saks, Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus.
