Next up in Moncler’s Genius series is the brilliant Simone Rocha with the 4 Moncler Simone Rocha collaboration. Rocha’s first collection for the brand is inspired by the concept of mountains, specifically she was inspired by the Victorian Mountain climbers of the 19th century.

This resulted in a uniform of voluminous silhouettes, deconstructed proportions and a new idea of practical femininity all translated through silhouette, volume and structure. The collection explores ideas whilst entwining Simone Rocha’s singular femininity with the utilitarian practicality of Moncler.

The classic Moncler Down fabric is reinterpreted in a feminine functional way in Rocha’s signature colors of red, pink, ivory, black, and pearl. The collection also features sequin floral embellishments, collapsing frills and embroidered flowers. These florals are also translated into a signature woven cloque fabric. The beaded embellishments in pearls and black sequin flowers is naturally integrated into the seams of garments to reflect flowers and foliage in the mountains growing in between the rocks and cracks.

The knitwear and cotton jersey stories in the collection are edged in lace with dense macramé flowers. Rocha has not only reworked Moncler’s signature outerwear for this collaboration, but she has also created full immersive outfits by encompassing sunglasses, bags, footwear and accessories. The garments are punctuated with hiking boots in leather with faux fur tongues and floral toes as well as classic down gloves with marabou trims. The bags were inspired by hiking harnesses contrasted with classic Victorian purses. The textured faux fur straps are then integrated to create a feminine form of utility.

The 4 Monlcer Simone Rocha collection is available at Moncler boutiques and on moncler.com.
