While ‘duality’ is the pervasive buzz word about the creative vision behind the 6 Moncler 1017 Alyx 9SM Fall 2021 collection, the vision is very straight-forward.

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.

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.
