Moving into the next chapter of the Moncler Genius diffusion project, designer Craig Green put together another collection fueled by his exploration of protection and performance.
This time around, Green drew inspiration from tents and kites to create a range defined by offsetting volumes, lines and bright colors. The wearable habitats feature stiff hooded capes with rope strings, that express dramatic shapes which are highlighted by structured textiles and bold colors. Other items found in the range include jackets, blousons, fishtail parkas, work shirts and trousers that all express a mix of solid bright green, yellow, orange, blues and intarsia patterns.
