The Moncler x Salehe Bembury Collection Balances Luxury and Outdoor Play
Delivering puffed outerwear with the designer’s textured thumbprint motif.
Earlier this year, Moncler took to London Fashion Week and delivered several collections with boundary-pushing creatives. The brand’s inventive Genius line enlisted Pharrell Williams, Palm Angels, Alicia Keys, and more to redesign its dynamic cold-weather staples, continuing its public roll-out following the latter’s collection launch.
Now, NYC-born designer Salehe Bembury introduces his outdoor-ready Moncler Genius collaboration. Bembury’s functional and utilitarian identity can be felt throughout, designing a luxurious offering for explorers everywhere.
Bembury pulled inspiration from Moncler’s 1950s archival ēquipements line, revisiting dated mountaineering codes for modern-day hikers. The designer’s trademark thumbprint motif is puffed and blasted onto Moncler’s down-filled outerwear, giving jackets and vests three-dimensional DNA patterns. Collarless shirting is delivered in angelic pink tones, while others boast pocketed harnesses to carry essentials uphill.
Retro Moncler ēquipements lettering enhances double-collared hoodies and crewnecks with skin-toned punctures, completing the apparel with swirled bottoms and textured beanies. Bembury’s rebellious attitude is channeled into Moncler’s Trailgrip sneaker, boasting earth-toned palettes, fingerprint-inspired indentations, and spiked VIBRAM soles.
Take a closer look at Salehe Bembury’s Moncler Genius collaboration in the gallery above. The range will be available in-store and online via Moncler on July 14.
