For the Fall/Winter '16 season, French-Italian brand Moncler Gamme Bleu is dressing its men in undercover styling. Under the direction of American designer Thom Browne, this collection of menswear is kitschy and creative.
The entire lineup is made up of camouflage print in one distinct colorway. The palette contains blue, gray, red and white, while other textile patterns such as houndstooth and pinstripe also make an appearance underneath the camo. Though the collection is entirely made of one print and palette, this eccentric range still manages to display a variety of different styles. Taking camo onto various fabrics, head designer Thom Browne has incorporated a diverse collection of textures into this collection from leather to sequins and fur.
Altogether, the Moncler Gamme Bleu Fall/Winter '16 collection is an interesting juxtaposing of sophistication and edge.
