Man On A Mission

American designer Greg Lauren talks to sheena khemaney about fashion, family and his collaboration with Moncler Man on a Mission

- Sheena Khemaney

KNOWN FOR ITS down jackets and stylish sportswear, luxury European label Moncler has teamed up with Los Angeles-based fashion designer Greg Lauren to create a limited-edition collection of deconstructed and military-inspired outerwear, with an autumn release at the brand’s boutiques as well as at selected department stores and at moncler.com. Believe us when we say that every stylish globetrotter needs at least one, or two, of the pieces in his or her wardrobe.

Lauren is the talented and handsome nephew of American fashion designer Ralph Lauren. Apart from his strong presence in the fashion industry, this charming 47-year-old has also forayed into the art world and, before that, earned himself various big-screen acting credentials in Hollywood. The much-talked-about LaurenMoncler collaboration, entitled Collide, was presented to a select group of guests – including celebrities, members of the press and Lauren’s ultra-hip posse of friends – at an artsy indoor space that even housed a custom-built Moncler camping tent, during Paris fashion week last March. The fashionable puffer jackets, which are available in a classic Moncler two-tone red and light blue, black and military green, also come in other styles and fabrics in unisex, men’s and women’s categories.
