Gucci's new après-ski line carves into Houston with piste-perfect looks for chalet day

As every seasoned skier knows, the time spent après-ski (a French word that literally means after ski) lounging next to a warm fire with friends, telling the tales of moguls and black diamond runs is just as important as the act of skiing itself. Wind-tousled hair, rosy cheeks, and the perfect sweater are the accessories for an excellent après-ski afternoon.

Now, Gucci's latest Après-Ski Collection makes it easier than ever to get the flawless look without visiting a mountaintop chalet, buying a lift ticket, or carving down fresh powder. The eponymous luxury brand recently dropped its latest capsule collection with a selection of pieces "envisioned for mountain leisure and beyond."

Now, locals can shop the latest collection, available at Gucci's Houston boutique, which encompasses everything from the ultimate puffers to cardigans and updated bags, drawing from alpine inspiration in bright yellow, deep red, and rich blues.

Highlights of Gucci Après-Ski include an assortment of skiwear-inspired coordinated sets and updated styles of its signature handbag lines, including the Gucci Horsebit 1955, Gucci Diana, and GG Marmont.

Lug-soled boots inspired by cold-weather footwear are having a moment with the fluffiest wool Women's Interlocking G Web Boot, Women's Maxi GG Boot, and the colorful Men's GG Boot. The lineup also includes ski mask silhouettes from Gucci Eyewear, among other styles.

The capsule collection also introduces a special preview of ready-to-wear clothing and accessories from their latest collaboration, Adidas x Gucci. Evoking '80s culture, the collaboration is bright and colorful, where the GG Trefoil reigns supreme. Aluminum hard-sided suitcases, created in partnership with the Italian luxury luggage maker FPM Milano are also available for the ultimate winter vacation.

Houston spa is first in Texas to offer award-winning Italian wellness treatment

Now available through August 31, this non-invasive treatment brings Italian wellness innovation exclusively to Trellis Spa at The Houstonian.

This summer, Trellis Spa at The Houstonian is adding a touch of Italian flair to its treatment menu, and it comes with a beauty seal of approval. From July 1 through August 31, spa-goers can book Endospheres Therapy, a non-invasive treatment that's made its way from Italy to Houston, and just in time for pool season.

Trellis is the only luxury spa in Texas offering this treatment, which has already earned a spot onElle's 2025 Best Tools & Treatments Awards as the Best Lymphatic Drainage Treatment for the Body. Beauty editors aren't the only ones paying attention. Endospheres has also been featured in Cosmopolitan and Bella Magazine for its ability to smooth, lift, and contour without any downtime.

"We're always looking to bring our guests the most innovative, effective treatments available," says Trellis Spa director Kelleye Martin. "Endospheres Therapy complements our existing offerings by delivering visible results through a therapeutic, non-invasive approach. We're proud to be the exclusive Texas spa destination for this technology during the summer."

So, what should spa aficionados expect? Endospheres utilizes a roller device featuring 55 rotating spheres in a honeycomb pattern, which sends rhythmic micro-vibrations throughout the body. The goal is to stimulate circulation, support lymphatic drainage, ease muscle tension, and improve skin texture. The treatment is non-invasive and feels like a gentle massage. Over a series of six to 12 sessions, the treatment will become increasingly focused. Depending on each client's specific needs, the spa therapist can target certain areas, such as the stomach, legs, and arms, for even more dramatic results.

According to Endospheres master trainer Martina Vallescura, Trellis was a natural fit for the Texas debut. "Trellis attracts guests who prioritize both aesthetic results and overall well-being," she says. Vallescura also notes that Endospheres is an excellent option for both aesthetic benefits, such as cellulite reduction and skin firming, as well as therapeutic relief for issues like muscle soreness, lymphedema, and lipedema.

Trellis Spa is offering three ways to try Endospheres, with options that include face-only, body-only, or a combination treatment that covers both. Visible results can sometimes be seen after a single session, but the full effect is typically achieved after a series of 6 to 12 treatments spaced over several weeks. There is no downtime associated with the treatment; however, hydration is crucial, so be sure to drink plenty of water and skip the lotion and snack at least an hour before an appointment.
