Moncler x adidas Originals unveil new "The Art of Explorers"
Building upon the success of their "The Art of Genius" show at London Fashion Week in February, Moncler and adidas Originals have joined forces once again to present a new collection titled "The Art of Explorers." The collaboration draws inspiration from the concept of exploration, capturing the essence of journeys from the peaks of mountains to the bustling streets of the city below. The campaign showcases a series of AI-generated adventurers and unique mixed-media sculptures, paying homage to both brands. The tagline, "Where Originality Meets Extraordinary," encapsulates Moncler's reputation for performance and utility innovation and adidas Originals' legacy as a cultural and creative powerhouse.
The collection features a diverse array of offerings, including new puffer jackets in both long and short silhouettes, as well as a line of track jackets and vests that perfectly embody the fusion of both brands' aesthetics. Moncler's signature shapes, often crafted in lacquered nylon, are reimagined with the inclusion of adidas Originals details, such as adi-break paneling.
One striking aspect of the collection is the use of luminous shades, drawing inspiration from the vibrant colors of traffic lights—greens, oranges, and reds. These hues seamlessly transition into "Concrete Grey," sky blue, and off-white, adorning sinuous quilting, jacquards, and puff prints. The designs pay homage to the intricate patterns etched by skiers on snow-covered slopes.
Footwear enthusiasts will also find much to admire in the Moncler x adidas Originals collaboration. The adidas' NMD silhouette receives a GORE-TEX makeover with bubble padding, ensuring both style and functionality. Meanwhile, the Campus silhouette undergoes a Moncler-inspired transformation, featuring bubble padding that bridges the worlds of mountain life and metropolitan living.
Fashion enthusiasts and fans of both brands can look forward to getting their hands on this remarkable collection, as it becomes available for purchase on the official Moncler and adidas websites from October 4, 2023. Select retail stores will also stock the collection starting from October 5, 2023.
