French fashion houses Ami and Moncler collaborated on a new collection and recently released a menswear lookbook. The collection called 'Moncler A' utilizes Moncler's ski-themed outerwear look with Ami's Parisian streetwear style. A hybrid Ami-Moncler logo is prominent in the collection, but is contrasted by over-sized cuts, white zips and checkered tweeds. The collection does a great job of stylizing outerwear pieces like coats and vests, plus making them sleek and sophisticated.
The collection varies in the materials used and includes woolen Chesterfield coats, hats, quilted shorts, trousers and knitwear throughout Moncler A. The collection also reflects Moncler's signature French-themed red, white and blue, with many garments a mix of these colors.
Moncler A is a limited edition collection and will be available starting mid-September 2015.
