Enter the world of 6 MONCLER 1017 ALYX 9SM, the brand’s third collection with designer Matthew Williams. While ‘duality’ is the pervasive buzz word about the creative vision behind the collection — and everywhere else in the world these days is “duality, duality, duality” — you have not entered the twilight zone.

The design vision is very straight-forward, unlike the philosophical concept of duality, which is very complex because the two opposing traits coexist simultaneously in the same entity.

What is unadulterated evil to me is heroic and just to Republicans. Duality allows that we are both correct. That’s when the convo gets really hairy. Trust me, I went through this in 2015. Okay. Back to fashion, Anne.

Williams said of Moncler and his take on it: “We’re riffing on their staple silhouettes. Building them up in new ways with new materials and then spicing it up a little.” The designer told the fashion press that his arrival at Givenchy has nothing to do with an impression of latex-based product that “mixed the vaguely industrial with the vaguely kinky.” “I think that material will always resonate in that way,” said Williams.

Complemented by Giulia Jul Munari’s set design, Porodina takes all that black and white duality and gases it up like the 'Aurora borealis.’

Moncler gets us back on the straight and narrow, writing: “Heightened ultra-shine laqué nylon in black, used for cropped or long puffers, is contrasted with white opaque cotton. Meanwhile, duvets and long coats come in elegant nylon satin. Chains are threaded between the boudins of long or short duvets, in a direct play between soft lightweight down and hard metal.”
