The Next Chapter for Moncler’s Genius(es)

  • By Khoo Yong Hao

Headstrong, pushing the envelope is Moncler’s modus operandi for their latest collection of collections. Dubbed Moncler Genius, this multifaceted initiative sets out to stand out: instead of introducing collections biannually, Moncler breaks away from the tradition, debuting a staggering eight collections in the course of a few months, all in collaboration with like-minded designers.

Living up to its name, the Moncler Genius Building unveils the collections conceived thus far on September 19th, showcasing the reimagined creations realised by the ingenuity of four forward-looking designers in “The Next Chapter.”  Although varying in creative approaches, the designers came together in full cohesion, with a mission to reflect a shifting world that overcomes the temporality of the seasons and represent a new course for the brand. Immersive and thoughtful, spectators are given an undiluted look into each Moncler Genius’ work, a kaleidoscope of images for a chorus of different voices, speaking for one house.

Reworking simple pieces subtly, with technical features, lightness and packability all hidden in plain sight. Rain jackets, plaid blazers, parkas, field jackets and travel jackets are stamped with Fujiwara’s trademark slogans.

As Moncler continues to innovate and invent, paving the way for unstifled creativity, the future of the brand becomes marred with so much uncertainty – but all in hopes of pioneering a new wave of thinking.
