Giambattista Valli for Moncler Makes Puffer Jackets the Chic New Must-Have, so Stock Up Now
Forget that shapeless, unflattering Ghostbusters Marshmallow Man sterotype...Giambattista Valli's Fall 2008 collection for Moncler proves that puffers can be equally stylish, whether you're skiing the French Alps or a Park Avenue Princess braving a New York winter. "Designing for Moncler is a little like making the iPod for Apple," explains Valli, who succeeded Alessandra Fachinetti after her move to Valentino, debuting his signature trapeze and bell shapes with luxurious touches of embroidery, feathers, and lace. "It's an item, not a total look, so there have to be choices." Like an iPod, many of the pieces are super-versatile; unlike an iPod, his premiere collection for Moncler Gamma Rouge can cost in the thousands.
To stay stylish without resorting to a second mortgage, here is more affordable - but equally chic - puffery:
