The result is a line – up of recognizable Rick Owens tropes: the sleeveless tunic, the elongated sleeve – but expressed in Moncler’s featherweight volumes of down. Exploding shapes and tumorous proportions in scarves and cropped bolero jackets contrast elegantly with sleek bonded nylon layers and radiance quilted jackets in a palette of matt black, Moncler Jacket silver and dust.
We were on the east side of Milan next to a radical squat in a sprawling, abandoned www.monclersoutlets.com factory, within which Remo Ruffini and his cohorts had laid out separate stages for their eight full Genius collections, plus three accessory collections (a fat – tire Danish e – bike; the super – cute hot – model – thronged Poldo dogwear; and Rimowa luggage) plus, oh yes, the genius but not “Genius” Rick Owens tour bus project on the side. During an intense boom – boom – boom of collection viewings almost as remorseless as the techno that DJ Pandora’s jukebox was playing outside, Will Smith rolled up (and shook my hand!) as we were talking to Moncler’s mastermind Remo Ruffini in a room designed to look like Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey and created to shoot the fabulous Richard Quinn collection (number 8).
The result was everything forward – looking menswear should be: conceptual and cool – and wearable, too. Over the last few years Green has deftly translated his runway showpieces into quilted snap – front nylon jackets and lace – detail sweatshirts that are unmistakably his, but don’t call attention to themselves the way one of his Emporer – Palpatine – on – holiday color – blocked parkas might.
