Donald Glover Designs Gilga Farm x Moncler Collaborative Collection
Summary Donald Gloverknows how to bring even his wildest dreams into existence – be it aChildish Gambinoproject, anAtlantaepisode, or, for the first time, aMoncler Geniuscollection. After debuting hisMonclerpartnership at Moncler's Shanghai 'City of Genius' spectacle back in the fall, the constantly evolving creative juggernaut has lifted the curtain on his collaborative Moncler collection. With Glover at the helm of the design process, he suited up some of Moncler's most notable silhouettes for a Southern Californian summer, imbuing the orange-hued Ojai energy of his very own Gilga Farm creative collective into every piece. While the vibrant shades stand out strongly at first glance, with bright oranges lined up against creams, blues, and pinks, it's actually functionality that exists at the core of the collaboration. With Gilga Farm's motto being 'The world revolves around your usefulness. Use that to move into what you are,' Glover's Moncler Genius presentation prioritizes practicality above all else. 'Functionality is key — it's something that connects the world of Gilga and Moncler, we both create for real-world usefulness,' Glover explains of the collection's guiding principle, harkening all the way back to Moncler's earliest designs in building out the new range. 'The sleeping bag is one of the first products Moncler ever made, which inspired our sleeping bag jacket, but also led to a collection of summer fits grounded in real value,' Glover continues, citing the centerpiece of the collection: a hero duvet jacket that transforms into a sleeping bag. Other jacketing silhouettes include a suede jacket stamped with a Gilga Farm patch at the chest and lightweight nylon ripstop windbreakers. On the footwear front, the duo delivers a collaborative take on the Moncler Trailgrip Vela sandal, sturdily equipped with a Vibram sole. Moncler's mascot, Monduck, is even reinterpreted as a farmer to fit the part.

The Camping Essential That Inspired Donald Glover's Collaboration with Moncler
At first, you might think that a collaboration between Moncler, a brand known for their down jackets, and Donald Glover's Gilga Farm – a creative retreat/operational farm in Ojai, California – might be a bit pointless: why would those living in or visiting the Golden State be in need of chilly-climate clothing? And yet it's the Italian label's first ever product, the sleeping bag, that has inspired the rapper, actor, comedian and now, fashion designer. 'Functionality is key — it's something that connects the world of Gilga and Moncler, we both create for real-world usefulness,' he says in the collection notes. 'The sleeping bag is one of the first products Moncler ever made, which inspired our sleeping bag jacket, but also led to a collection of summer fits grounded in real value.' Glover's interpretation of a Moncler staple is just one of the 11 collections dropping as part of this season's Genius arm – other notable guest designers are A$AP Rocky, Willow Smith and Edward Enninful –which nominates creatives to reinterpret the brand's iconic pieces through their lens. Alongside the aforementioned sleeping bag jacket (which can be used as a literal, well... sleeping bag), Glover has whipped up a selection of pieces primed for a West Coast summer – and that includes gear for when the temperature drops, too. Think: down jackets alongside workwear essentials, a dressier suede jacket as well as nylon ripstop windbreakers, garden hats and Glover's take on the Trailgrip Vela sandal. Pieces that could either see you through light hikes around the Big Sur as well as lunch meetings in San Francisco. Throughout the collection, you'll see an emblem of Gilga in the form of an orange – one of the many fruit growing a the Ojai location – which also nods to the citrusy colour palette found within the collection. A refreshing addition to your wardrobe, we say. Shop the Gilga Farm x Moncler collaboration here.
