Donald Glover, the almost annoyingly multi-talented creative mind behind Childish Gambino and Atlanta, has once again demonstrated his knack for bringing ambitious visions to life, this time through a clothing collaboration with luxury brand Moncler.
After a preview at Moncler’s Shanghai City of Genius event last year, the full Moncler x Gilga Farm collection, designed by Glover himself, has been revealed. It merges Moncler's heritage with the relaxed, orange-hued energy of Glover's Gilga Farm creative collective in Ojai, Southern California.
At the heart of this partnership lies an emphasis on practicality.
“Functionality is key — it’s something that connects the world of Gilga and Moncler, we both create for real-world usefulness,” Glover explained. This guiding principle harkens back to Moncler’s origins, notably inspiring the collection's centrepiece: a duvet jacket that transforms into a sleeping bag, a direct nod to Moncler's very first product.
Beyond this piece, the collection offers a range of sophisticated yet practical pieces for a West Coast summer aesthetic – so we can enjoy it for a few days a year here in grey old UK.
Expect a rich palette of sun-faded oranges, creams, blues, and pinks, appearing on items like a striking burnt orange suede jacket adorned with a Gilga Farm patch, and lightweight nylon ripstop windbreakers. Footwear also gets a collaborative update with the Moncler Trailgrip Vela sandal, featuring a sturdy Vibram sole.
The collaboration extends to Moncler’s iconic mascot, Monduck, who is playfully reinterpreted as a farmer to fit the Gilga Farm aesthetic.
This integration of storytelling and practical design is evident throughout, from the animated short film showcasing the collection to subtle details like cartoon-style graphics on garments. The full range is available now on Moncler’s website.
