Montreal-based outerwear brand Moose Knuckles collaborated with designers Mike Eckhaus and Zoe Latta and their American fashion label Eckhaus Latta to create a 10-piece outerwear capsule collection. The collection makes the most of exceptionally lightweight down and it celebrates engineering, playful silhouettes and subverts a classic category with unique styles.
The fearless and inspiring capsule collection includes pieces like lightweight quilt blanket jackets, ankle-length puffers, raincoats, hoodies and convertible windbreakers, as well as pants that complement the top styles from the collab. Notably, the functional and artistic designs are cozy yet lightweight, thanks to the use of lightweight insulation.
Knowing that Moose Knuckles was open to experimentation, Eckhaus Latta says "For this collaboration, we wanted to create storytelling that read capital ‘F’ fashion, but in a subtly perverse and confusing way.”
