Moncler genius 6 1017 alyx 9sm released
This matthew williams collection with moncler, now in its third chapter, has a name that reads like a wifi password and an aesthetic that is much more direct, thanks to a series of core dialectics. Black versus white. Shiny versus matt. Silkiness meets metallic. Hard versus soft.
Speaking down a zoom, 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.” notably spicy for a house more regularly associated with high-altitude extreme sports were some extreme thigh-high boots. Lacquered-finish nylon was used to clad long coats whose down panels were interlinked by williams-at-alyx’s trademark hardware, and extreme-collar tabard tops were presented in latex to create an impression that mixed the vaguely industrial with the vaguely kinky. “I think that material will always resonate in that way,” said williams.
Looking at these pieces before, it had been tempting to extrapolate from them a shift from the urban-technicality of early alyx to a couture-ish inspiration seeded by his move from milan to paris last year in order to take on the givenchy gig—but williams reckoned this was not in his mental foreground while shaping this collection. It is also worth recording that of the 11 moncler mondo genius launch films this season, williams’s was easily among the most entertaining. The film stars “a friend of mine called teezo touchdown from texas and he’s going to do a performance for everybody,” offered williams as an advance trail. Scary cgi arms (admittedly related to to the song title) apart, that film most definitely made touchdown some new fans.
