Continuing their new creative and business vision Moncler Genius, which involves different creative minds, each one devoted to several interpretations of Moncler’s rich heritage while creating forward-thinking contemporary collections. After the presentation of Craig Green's new capsule a few weeks ago, the time has come for the second collection in the Next Chapter of Moncler Genius, with the turn coming once again to the Moncler in-house designed 1952 range.
2 Moncler 1952 is a visually striking edit of Moncler classics, contextualized in a contemporary urban scenario. The interpretation is bold for men and quietly assertive for women. The men’s collection oozes a pop and urban zest, as highlighted by prints featuring stars and letters spelling Moncler out and loud, devised with artist Hey Reilly and swarming all-over the surfaces. Shapes and materials are functional: zippered jackets, field jackets, parkas, car coats, track-pants, and Bermuda shorts come in cotton, nylon or ripstop fabrications.Geometries and intarsia create vibrancy as the solid bright alternate with neutral tones or total black with vivid touches for a high visibility effect. Zippered pockets allow items to be functionally folded and packed; padded collars are another utilitarian detail. The giant size logo recurs as a mark.
The women’s collection is an inclusive reinterpretation of wardrobe staples – from the blouson to the pleated skirt, from the parka to the slouchy pant to the cozy jumper – seen anew in subtle plays of volumes, textures and shapes to address a multiplicity of women. The mix of technical and precious materials – laqué nylon, technical faille, cotton drill, printed crepe de chine – is a defining note, just as the interplay of the functional and the decorative gives items a unique feel. Oversized drawstrings recur, allowing the wearer to manipulate and adjust volumes. The layering of pieces in spirited and intuitive. Prints add rhythm to a classic palette of neutrals, blacks and blues with dashes of red.
