To inaugurate the opening of their new flagship store in the Ginza district in Tokyo,?Moncler?has created a collection in collaboration with the Los Angeles artist duo,?FriendsWithYou, debuting October 24 – 25, 2015. This collection features jackets, sweatshirts and sweaters in rich, joyful tones and the artists symbolic language of?Magic, Luck and Friendship. Moncler,?the Italian-French brand charts a rich heritage of collaboration with the languages, imaginations and sources of inspiration of the newest generations of creatives, carefully weaving their visions into the timeless Moncler styles. Speaking in a universal language of pure joy,Nike Zoom Shoes, and inviting new friendships through their talismanic art, FriendsWithYou’s artwork is set against a hyper-chromatic universe – with reoccurring symbols that unify people through visual language, while allowing each viewer to adapt these symbols in creating a bespoke meaning of their own. The collection entitled,?Happy Virus, derives its name from a related animated film and a lenticular limited edition print by the artists. Happy Virus harnesses its softly reoccurring symbols to create a mantra like visual spell. FriendsWithYou’s key characters are adapted to wearable art in the Moncler collection,DOLCE GABBANA SHOES, including:?Malfi, Happy Virus,Christian Louboutin Tall Boots, Cloudy, Look Who,CHEAP WOMENS BOOTS, Snowy?and the vibrant fluorescent rainbow of?Mr. TTT. Each personality presents their own subversive ideas now reprised and stripped of their old meaning, making this collection a functional interactive vocabulary to be enjoyed by the modern collector. Each piece in the Moncler FriendsWithYou Collection is a work of art, overrun and made unique by the cosmos that represents FriendsWithYou. A semantic repertoire has been translated into graphic clouds bearing hallmark smiles or eyebrows, conveyed through eyes that are astonished or bulging with joy and surprise, including mouths and fun archetypical imagery of every kind. Each symbol tells a communal story, and invites collectors to enjoy new adventures with these reoccurring characters. The Moncler FriendsWithYou Collection will be sold on a world exclusive preview basis only at the Tokyo Vernissage, on 24th and 25th October, and will thereafter be available in all Moncler single brand stores from the 2016-17 Fall/Winter season.   Click here to view more.
