Along the palm tree-lined Boulevard du Jeu de Paume, something special is going on. There sits a boutique in Montpellier, France’s central district that encapsulates the energy of the city and a scene that is influenced by skateboarding, music, fashion and the lifestyle of the Riviera. Bisous Skateboards are the curators of that vibe and Element joined has joined them to create a limited capsule collection. We invited Serbian photographer Ana Kraš to head down to Montpellier to get immersed in the energy of the city, and her lookbook images transport us straight to the sun. Take a deep dive into the world of Element x Bisous.

The RLCRR + LMNT (Ronan Lecreurer + Element) collection is a project that encourages having a fun, playful interpretation of apparel using one of Earth’s elements as its main protagonist...the wind. At the heart of the RLCRR + LMNT collection is the Flying Alder, a piece based on our best-selling Alder jacket. The concept being that the simple pleasure of playing with the wind requires nothing more than the very jacket off your own back. After a one-year process of engineering, testing and trials we are releasing into a one-of-a-kind piece based on Ronan's flying sculptures. Simply wear the jacket, remove it, make it fly and wear it again.

It's all about unchartered territories. In the current decade, Element has kept exploring lesser-known environments to skateboarding's milieu - yet never denying its street roots. After all, the squad did win the dreaded Thrasher magazines's King of the Road extravaganza in 2017, as well as Transworld Skateboarding mag's best team award in 2013. But the Earth is vast, so we used urban landscapes as springboards to venture deeper into the world
