The brand invites creatives to work on archetypical brand pieces and the latest highlights the HYKE. This builds on top of the themes from the first capsule as it dives into more Moncler archival themes. It brings forth a variety of garments and redesigns them with high-tech fabric materials that result in a highly technical capsule. The entire collection boasts a simplistic black and white color palette across ready-to-wear pieces and accessories. This includes GORE-TEX sweatpants, tees, sweaters, safari-themed HYKE boots, and bucket hats.
