Huff and puff in the latest Moncler x adidas collab

Sure, it seems like winter may never rear its head. But even while we enjoy the prolonged British summer (ish), it’s not a bad idea to get prepared for waiting at the bus stop in the pissing rain for the next few. Trust us, we’ll be awash with giant puffers taking up every inch of space on the morning commute in no time. Cut through the bland beige and boring blacks with adidas Originals and Moncler’s latest collaboration, a searingly vibrant offering of casual jackets and bottoms that take extreme climate cues from the mountain tops, with extra-thick padding, functional zippers and wipe-clean surfaces. But the collection’s sartorial influences come straight from the city: stand-out colours, adidas’ three-stripes and jackets so oversized they could double as a duvet.

As the old dear would say: wrap up before going outside. And head to mon​cler​.com to shop the adidas Originals collab.

Inspired by the Antarctic expeditions of the 1920s (very cold, very white), Stone Island’s latest collection features bits to keep you protected from the elements (often unpredictable, if you live in Blighty), while keeping all the signature styles we know and love. Think: smart, simple tees, warm woolly hats, and puffer jackets, this time with reflective white strips, taken straight from Stoney’s extensive archive, in a high-contrast palette of off-white, red and dark blue. And to shelter from the storm, all the vests and puffers come complete with a high-tech water resistant rubber wax coating, plus the Italian brand’s classic down padding. See the Marina like a big bear hug. Brrrr.

Now, about those emails…

It’s no small feat hitting half a century, and so C.P.

Among the fans is special guest Serge Pizzorno from ​’00s indie band Kasabian, who’s been sporting the brand since his teens.
