Moncler x LoveFrom Jacket
Buttons are often overlooked elements of a garment. For Moncler's collaboration with Jony Ive's LoveForm, they proved essential. Their LoveFrom, Moncler system is built around the Moncore, a down-filled vest, which attaches to a field jacket, hooded poncho, or parka via a novel "duo button". It works by having a flat base with a central piston, held in place by weak magnets. A "buttonhole" on the outer piece has stronger magnets, activating the piston and making the connection while also allowing the piston to serve as a true button when it's time to attach a different outer layer. Pricing is yet to be announced, but the garment will be available for order starting on September 24.
