Shock and awe are than name of the game and the puffer has
now been elevated to sculptural material despite its light weight. At stratospheric
prices you too can be mummified Moncler/Pierpaolo Piccioli style. Again.
Visually amazing and after that 95% is all for show... yawn… but I guess those $1000 ski jackets must really sell like
hotcakes to offset the cost of what this
high art extravaganza must have cost. Somehow it reminds me of a modernist Stonehenge or possibly the pyramids… you get
the idea … something monolithic

Piccioli obviously has that one monastic fetish that somehow
gets translated into everything he does and one might have thought that the concept would have grown on me but alas here I am reminded of monks disguised
as decorative rump roast or padding used
for shipping breakable objects.

PS.. if i gave him more credit I might have said this is the 21st century incarnation of Norma Kamali's sleeping bag coat from the 80s
