Designer Giambattista Valli challenged cold winter weather with his luxurious and fur-clad Moncler Gamme Rouge Fall/Winter 2013 collection. Taking inspiration from traditional Nordic and arctic garb, this runway show featured animal skin coats, fur-trimmed jackets and the label's signature weather-proof outerwear staples.
Commenting of the severity of winter weather, Giambattista Valli had his models walk with live husky dogs and included life sized polar bear props in his backdrop for this icy catwalk.
Moreover, models sported frost covered faces along with their snuggly ensembles. The Moncler Gamme Rouge Fall/Winter 2013 collection epitomized eccentric elegance and proved that one can leave a lasting style impression during winter months. From the richness of fur textures to the practicality of water-resistant textiles, this collection conquers the cold.
