IN LOVE WITH PUFFERS - Avant Gardist

IN LOVE WITH PUFFERS



In recent years we have seen that most high-end fashion brands in their fall-winter collections had a special focus on one garment that became a statement piece during the winter - the puffer. From Martin Margiela, Rick Owens, Yohji Yamamoto, and Junya Watanabe to more emerging and artistic ones like Noir Kei Ninomiya and TAKAHIROMIYASHITA TheSoloist, they all made a special tribute to a puffer coat/ jacket. Valentino creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli made a stunning collection for Moncler, one of the leading brands regarding puffer coats. He created twelve colorful floor-length dresses in collaboration with Liya Kebede, model, and owner of Lemlem, which supports artisans in Africa, commissioning them to produce handmade pieces. Pierpaolo Piccioli said "I am after a balance of dreaminess, extravagance and soulfulness," also he points out" Connecting diversities is my idea of inclusive creativity." However, we have a joker, too; Winnie Witt designed a unique puffer vest that looks like a sculpture and makes you warm and stylish. No more excuses for lack of style under the cold. Don't waste time; check out this exceptional piece in our store.
