# Space Race-Inspired Coats Moncler's Luxurious Over-Sized Metallic Parka is Futuristic and Fun By Mary Van Puymbroeck | Published 2017-06-23 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oversized-metallic-parka References: [highsnobiety](http://www.highsnobiety.com/2017/06/22/moncler-moonray-oversized-silver-parka/) & [moncler](http://www.moncler.com/gb/) Italian clothing company 'Moncler' has released an over-sized metallic parka for men and women. Intended to be Moncler's vision of the future, this beefy coat features a silicon wash to give it a special sheen and texture. The puffy triangle shape of this parka gives the coat a 1960s space race feel. With a fur lined hood, this over-sized metallic parka retails for £1,840. The release of this coat is accompanied by a short film my Moncler inspired by the Apollo moon landings. The film is akin to a 60s cult B-rated movie in its aesthetic and cinematic feel. The film is brought to life with Moncler's puffy metallic coat as two space explorers battle an alien life-form over their fabulous fashions. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Space-inspired Fashion:** Opportunity to create futuristic fashion pieces inspired by space technology and exploration. - **Retro-futuristic Aesthetics:** Opportunity to modernize nostalgic, vintage elements with futuristic design features. - **Luxurious Outerwear:** Opportunity to innovatively design premium high-quality outerwear with added functionality. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion and Apparel:** Innovative design elements can be applied to existing fashion lines to create futuristic styles. - **Film and TV:** Opportunity to create space-themed productions with nostalgic retro-future aesthetics. - **Outdoor Gear and Equipment:** Opportunity to create high-quality, luxurious outdoor gear with added features for increased functionality and aesthetics. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Metal-Infused Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stone-islands-metal-mesh-jacket.md) - [Space-Tech Insulated Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elysium-blue-jacket.md) - [Salvaged Spacecraft Material Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/martian-aerogel-jacket.md) - [Fashion-Forward Insulated Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moncler-and-jw-anderson.md) - [Water-Resistant Hooded Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intuitive-machines-lunar-launch.md) - [Superhero-inspired Stealthy Puffers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solander-batman.md) - [Copper-Infused Subzero Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vollebak-full-metal-puffer.md) - [Dystopian Goggle-Paired Parkas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canvas-parka.md) - [90s-Style Winter Parkas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hmlyn-baltoro-jacket.md)
