The Founder
Hi, I’m Federico.
I grew up in Argentine Patagonia, where the mountains were never just a backdrop. They shaped the way I understood freedom, movement, and life outdoors.
Years later, moving from Argentina to Colorado brought that feeling back in a new landscape. In Aspen, early mornings snowboarding, mountain-bike rides, time outdoors, and the constant pull of the next trip became part of my everyday life.
Skade grew from the connection between those two places—Patagonia and Aspen—and from the belief that what we wear should move naturally through every part of the journey.
It wasn’t born from fashion alone. It came from a lifelong connection to the mountains.
Why I started Skade
01I didn’t start Skade because I wanted to create another clothing brand.
I started it because I couldn’t find apparel that truly reflected the lifestyle I had fallen in love with—clothing that felt just as natural in the mountains as it did in a city.
Pieces that could move from a snowboard trip to an airport, from a mountain-bike trail to dinner with friends, and from one season into the next.
So I decided to build it.
Today, Skade is an independent brand inspired by mountain culture, streetwear, travel, and the people who choose experiences over routine.
Perspective / Movement
The world shapes the brand
Travel has always been one of my biggest sources of inspiration.
Every destination, mountain range, city, culture, and conversation brings back a new perspective. Some ideas become designs. Others influence the way Skade looks, feels, and grows.
The goal has never been to create clothing for only one place or one season.
Skade was designed in Aspen, but it was made for wherever life takes you.
No Off Season
Made for movement.

They’re built by a community.”
The Future

Our vision is to build a global creative community where artists, illustrators, tattoo artists, photographers, filmmakers, and designers can launch their own collections through Skade, share their work with the world, and earn from every sale.
We call them Residents.
