Winter apparel brand Moncler has partnered with Valentino’s creative director Pierpaolo Picciolo to create massive gowns that reference classic cold-weather puffy coats. Each gown features the typical quilted style of down jackets, but instead of short form-fitting coats, the dresses sweep across the floors with voluminous hemlines and envelope the wearer’s neck and shoulders in cocoon-like shapes. Typical subdued winterwear colors are swapped out for a riot of jewel tones accented with variegated stripes.
The collaboration, which is part of Moncler’s Genius program, engaged Picciolo, as well as designer and model Liya Kebede, to dream up the unusual shapes and patterns. This is the second rendition by Picciolo, who last year drew inspiration from Renaissance paintings. (via designboom)
