Moncler has acquired the remaining 30 percent of the share capital of Sportswear Company S.p.A. (SPW) that owns the Stone Island brand, for a consideration equal to 345 million euros from Temasek.
Williams, naturally, decided to apply the treatment to Moncler's iconic puffer. Because the piece is made of a bunch of different materials, the effect is striking.
"I was really just trying to merge the DNA of Moncler and the DNA of Alyx," Williams tells me over the phone from www.monclersoutlets.com Milan, where the collection launched earlier this week. "And to look at things that we do well, that they maybe haven't experimented with before." Which, well: ever since the collection first appeared, it was pretty clear that Williams had managed that merger successfully.
For Rocha that meant amping up the femininity on Moncler's signature utilitarian designs by incorporating floral prints, ruffles, and all manner of embellishments. Piccioli, on the other hand, took inspiration from early - Renaissance paintings - as is often his wont - reimagining the iconic down jacket as a floor - dusting cape, or a cinched - waist gown in bold, distinctly modern colors.
In addition, 50 percent of Genius customers are first - time purchasers of the brand and 40 percent have also purchased the brand's other products. Although so rooted in the last century, this collection looked - flared pants apart - convincingly contemporary and grounded in the reality of a creative and thrift - sifting dress sense.
The Google translate produces some pretty fucking broken English, but enough Moncler Outlet to get the gist of what's happening here. Moncler - who has done work with the likes of White Mountaineering in the past and brought on Thom Browne full - time for Moncler Gamme Bleu - takes its functional winter weather clothing and melds with with some of Ami's more streamlined and simplistic looks.
