Following the announcement that Moncler has recruited eight leading designers to create their own collections for the house, last night the brand kicked off Milan Fashion Week with the launch of this innovative concept.
Split into eight separate areas, each designer including Valentino’s Pierpaolo Piccioli and Simone Rocha, offered their take on the the brands image which has been long associated with luxe sportswear. Piccioli’s creations were the first the audience got to see and will be the introductory collection. The quilted fabrics were re-imagined into long silhouettes and block colours that gave an almost avant-garde effect.
Simone Rocha’s collection reflected the edgy femininity that the designer is known for with use of voluminous shapes, soft pink and floral print. Craig Green’s take was also familiar of his style and felt the heaviest of all with full hooded coats and geometric shapes. Moncler 2 1952 will be the most familiar to fans of the brand with the classics redone in bright shades and enlarged logo.
Noir’s Kei Ninomiya all black line-up showcased his impressive use of stitching and mix of fabric, while on the opposite side of the spectrum we have a very bright Grenoble collection that has a mass consumer appeal. Palm Angels had a lot of fans who love the paired down use of red and black with plenty of branding and logo’s. Fragment’s Hiroshi Fujiwara took the outdoor hiking concept and blended it with streetwear that saw models posing in delicate angora sweaters and royal blue jackets.
