Giambattista Valli’s mission at Moncler Gamme Rouge is clear: Elevate that staple of winter sportif, the puffer, to an opulent evening accessory, a feat accomplished through luxuriant details and agile use of the jacket’s signature volume. Spring was no exception, even with the inherent seasonal challenge. “Moncler for summer is not so easy,” said Valli. “Without [down], it’s like, how do you do it?” He used the stuffing as the sauce, so to speak, lavishing white feathers tipped in black as a print and a trim on pouf-sleeve jackets in the first of three vignettes inspired by “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” The next featured emerald green styles, ruffled, printed and cinched into blousons, shown in a dark, damp, moss-covered room that, while effective in its eerie mystique, made it hard to see the clothes. As for the last group, it was an exercise in bold crimsons, the best of which was a lineup of identical shapes that began with a stripped-down eggshell jacket and escalated through varying degrees of decorative rosettes.
