That came from the actual Moncler logo, and we wanted this collection to grow out from that. Last season was centered on fencing and the padded jackets and plastrons shared space with some impressive plaid suiting and white cotton blazers.

Veronica Leoni started working on this collection just days after Moncler's raucous last - February Genius launch and after - party: ah, the Rick Owens RV, the bratwurst, and the dance floor.

Ruffini continued: "A new Moncler chapter has started. I bought the company in 2003 and at the beginning, it Moncler Jackets was really something different but I immediately realised that the culture was already very strong and really interesting.

The friendly and collaborative working environment. The team was super keen to help, impart knowledge and set industry standard level live tasks for us. We had opportunities to work on projects and produce outcomes that we can now show in our portfolios.

For the next season of collaboration, GENIUS is contextualised as a world tour, with the release of each collection being paired with a specially curated activation around the world, bringing MONCLER GENIUS full circle.

Experimenting with angular additions, Green proposes featherweight zip - up jackets with padded hoods, parkas, and base layers made from a sum of light modules that can be folded, flattened and packed.

I spent a lot of time with my girlfriend Alexandra, developing ideas, working on personal projects, we grew closer together. I learned a lot about myself as a photographer. I think it's interesting what can come out of obstacles that are put in front of you.
