Emily Harrop: A career of excellence and an Olympic dream
Emily Harrop seems to have been born with ski mountaineering boots on her feet and poles in her hands. A Millet team athlete since the very beginning, she is now one of the leading figures in world ski mountaineering.
With six world titles, two Pierra Menta victories, and four overall World Cups, her list of achievements is impressive. Yet, her greatest dream has yet to come true: an Olympic medal.
In the winter of 2026, ski mountaineering will make its Olympic debut for the first time in history. A symbolic milestone that Emily readily describes as “a childhood dream.”
The OFF-LINE capsule: a women’s collection made from 100% recycled materials
To celebrate this historic moment, Emily Harrop has co-created an OFFLINE capsule collection for women with Millet. The collection was created with a specific goal: to give unused fabrics a second life, transforming them into high-performance technical garments.
Emily continues the creative journey begun in 2023 by Charles Dubouloz and Symon Welfringer, mountaineers from the Millet team, who reinvented mountain clothing using surplus materials, without compromising on functionality and quality.
An authentic partnership that goes beyond sport
For Millet, the relationship with its athletes is more than just a logo on the sleeve. This capsule collection is the result of a collaboration built over time.
Emily has grown as an athlete and as a person together with the Millet team, who have supported her since day one and who will continue to support her in 2026.
Millet was my first sponsor. As a child, I never imagined I’d form such a strong bond with a brand. This collection symbolizes everything we’ve built together.

Offline production: creativity driven by available materials
Surplus fabrics as a starting point
Every year, the textile industry generates large quantities of unused materials. At Millet, these scraps become a precious resource. The OFF-LINE collections are born from leftover warehouse stock and rolls of fabric, creatively reinterpreted.
In this project, there’s no predefined color palette: the available materials determine the color choices. This constraint stimulates innovation and makes each piece unique.
“We had to work with what already existed, and that’s what makes each piece special.”

Local production and industrial know-how
The OFF-LINE capsule collection is made locally at the Millet factory in Tunisia. This approach ensures great production agility and in-depth knowledge of inventory, down to the smallest detail.
“Mastering our production tools is a fundamental advantage: without this agility, the OFF-LINE project would not have been possible”
Aurélie Warin, Director of Operations at Millet.
Colors, personal details, and field tests in Courchevel
Millet gave Emily complete creative freedom: from defining the brief to selecting materials and color combinations. The result is a technical yet extremely versatile feminine line.
The parka, the collection’s key piece, can be worn before a race, on a hike, or in everyday life. The same goes for the fleece, vest, and backpack.
“I didn’t want this collaboration to be limited to ski mountaineering only,”
Emily Harrop
Shades of pale pink and glacier blue stand out among Millet fabrics. Emily’s personal logo—stylized initials forming a mountain topped by a star—engraves each piece. The wording “Tested and certified in Courchevel” pays homage to Millet’s historic motto.
Courchevel is a symbolic place: here Emily discovered ski mountaineering, experienced her first competitions and continues to train today.
Finally, delicate English roses appear on the back of select pieces, a discreet tribute to her Franco-British roots.
