Moncler X Fragment Design’s (FRGMT)’s latest collaboration introduces Alpine Heritage to Streetwear
By fashion editor staff
Designer, DJ, producer, street style taste maker: Fujiwarajima has the knack for discovering subcultural niches and converging with style archetypes. Longtime Moncler’s genius friend and collaborator are now revealing a menswear collection filled with destructive everyday work. Subtle surprises enhance the sense of refinement. The skillful construction, numerical graphics, occasional artisan embroidered touches and ultra-playing Y2K graphics take over city-driven luxury with exclusive collaboration.
From 50% lighter Maya2 jackets to philosophical axioms embroidered with Stark Contrast Stitching, the collection crushes and reconstructs the codes of Moncler’s iconic silhouettes.
Major technological advances include the introduction of Boudin technology in grid quilts. This improves the classic Moncler shape while increasing the warmth and weight ratio. Traditionally designed for extreme conditions, the Everest2 jacket was thoughtfully rethinked for the spring, reflecting Monkler’s transformation from a climbing heritage in 1952 to a contemporary identity as a leader in luxury performance wear. It’s here.
Fujiwara’s Curatorial Vision includes the surprises of the Moncler X FRGMT. In collaboration with Korean studio Nayeon & Rang, the designer will showcase the whimsical illustration kitten and bunny in a philosophical callout of Nietzsche and Aristotle. Thinking-provoking descriptions from Nietzsche, such as “Life is wrong without music,” are embroidered on clothing, creating dialogue between philosophy and fashion.
The matte and high gloss black nylon create subtle plays of light, while the structured car coats nod to British tailoring traditions. This interaction of technology and art is further seen in the collaboration debut at the Shanghai Genius Show last October. In opposition to Richard Wilson RA’s reflective “good-looking glass” installation, the collection interacted with the mirror surface of the artwork, amplifying the depth of the collection.
The campaign and film, entitled “Where Nothing Mean Everything,” reflect Fujiwara’s design philosophy. Each image explores the balance between innovation and expression, highlighting how simple details turn everyday shapes into a gorgeous wardrobe.
Technical Luxury’s bold evolution, The Moncler x Frgmt collection, is available online at Moncler.com on select Moncler Boutiques. With all the stitching and silhouettes, Fujiwara’s visionary approach changes the alpine style fashion landscape.
