I just can't help it - quilted, shiny Moncler jackets seem to be the newest "trend" this winter... http://www.moncler.it/eng - click on "collections"- and I've been wondering, how others feel about this.
Personally, I can't help it - I hate it... not just that it's one of those trends which turns up in a few magazines, and the next day, virtually everybody seems to be wearing it, and the fakes abound already. I simply think it does naught for one's figure - I've had a quilted (non-shiny, no-name) Italian winter jacket like these years and years ago, and I swore to myself, I never wanted to look like the Michelin mascot again! Besides, that shiny material that most of the jackets are made of makes me shudder - it looks so cheap in combination with this quilted style somehow... I'd rather wear my "normal" ski jacket if it was that cold!
And, if I ever wanted a shiny winter jacket, I'd rather have my mom's ski jacket, ca. 1969 (if only it still existed...!). That was shiny too, but somehow so much better looking!
So, what do you guys think about Moncler? It just stuck me again yesterday, when I went out shopping (oh, and I got to see the crazies waiting outside H&M for the Jimmy Choo-collection too - another trend I can live without - I bet most of them didn't even know who Jimmy Choo really was. Of course the company nowadays has hothing to do with him anymore...).
