Rick Owens
1 / 8

The delightfully subversive multiverse of Moncler and Rick Owens is expanding, this time drawing upon the mountainous glory of the French Alps.

Perhaps snowy terrain is the new black?

The collection features Rick Owens' signature monochrome design language, paired with the cocooning legacy of Moncler's cozy offerings.

No, literally, some of the coats look like puffed-up sleeping bags, fit for lengthy siestas or existential rebirths. You know, whichever.

This collection highlights Owens' propensity for generous geometric silhouettes, the perfect complement to Moncler's enveloping elegance and equipped with billowy paneling that's a step above your standard winter puffer.

The coats are beefed up in typical Moncler fashion and have a tastefully dystopian and oversized flair on par with the mega-industrial architecture that appears in the corresponding imagery.

Yup, this collaboration, like the other Rick Owens and Moncler team-ups, is packaged within its own functional macrocosm.

Over the last 30 years, Owens has orchestrated a beautifully dark and gothic wonderland of his own design, but two heads, or brands rather, are always better than one. Especially when said brands can match each other's freak.

In the past, we've seen elaborate horned tour buses and a noise-canceling sleep isolation chamber. But this latest contraption may have been Owens' and Moncler's most inspired environment yet.

For this latest collaboration with Moncler, Owens crafted a demountable mountain refuge inspired by a family-owned lodge designed by ski-space maestro Charlotte Perriand.

Owens' architecture is as delightfully urbane as it is admirably blunted, much like Rick Owens' catalog of industry-disrupting furnishings.

In the past, Owens and Moncler have created equally captivating sartorial pieces, including equally subversive puffer coats and Owens' pentagram-ish laced ski boots. Because if you're going to après-ski, why not in tricked-out Rick?
