We were also looking at a lot of mountaineering ropes and knots used for safety. If it's cotton and a poly, those have more highs and lows. For some unexplained reason, DingYun Zhang hasn't bagged a squad number in Moncler's Genius roster www.monclersoutlets.com for this, his first collaborative collection with the Italian house.
In what was both a clever coping technique for dealing with the pressure of delivery - especially considering Moncler Jackets that Anderson helms two other houses already - and a move that will prove catnip to his long - term fans, the designer used this opportunity to revisit some of the most beloved ideas of his career. As he explained: "The idea is that it is an inflated archive. So we have used the Moncler technique to inflate pieces we have done in the past, like the hat from the Riviera collection (spring '15 womenswear) or the ruffled men's short with the knee - high boot (fall '14 menswear)." What we got was a glorious confection of J - Dubs lite: not in mental calories but in down - delivered weightlessness.
"This one was about lightness and travel," he said of the latest collection. "What I think is amazing about a Moncler jacket is that it looks so heavy and protective, but it's so light that you can actually pack it into a small space. So the whole collection was based around trying to create garments that could be condensed into very small spaces." Green and his team presented paper mock - ups of the pieces to Moncler's team, showing how they might construct a garment with down pillows, "and how it could be folded through a series of hinges, and lips to suck the air out to reduce the volume of the down." That packability isn't so clear from the static lookbook images, he said - so there are videos showing how the pieces can be shrunken down.
