For Donald Glover’s debut Genius collection, the polymathic
creative juggernaut reinterprets the brand’s elevated mountain codes for high summer in Southern California, fusing function, purpose, and elegant design in a self-assured assemblage of laidback pieces. Under the celebrated writer, director, actor, comedian, and musician’s stewardship, the brand’s alpine roots find unexpected common ground
and a heightened warm-weather aesthetic under the sun-drenched orange groves of Gilga Farm.

The Collection: A World of Usefulness

Inspired by the creativity found on Gilga Farm, a lineup of durable, refined pieces transitions from field to street with understated beauty. Moncler’s reputation for technical excellence meets Glover’s human approach to storytelling and design to create a world where rugged materials, practical silhouettes, and soft color palettes work in tandem.

The orange — an emblem of Gilga — appears throughout the collection as the logo and referenced in the citrus palette. Moncler’s signature comic-style mascot, Monduck, is reinterpreted as a farmer in playful graphics splashed across the collection.

The collection features trans-seasonal layers, but is geared towards summertime. Cloudlike down outerwear and quilted vests inspired by Moncler’s mountain DNA are layered over workwear inspired pieces and shorts for a SoCal twist. With its palette of
sun-washed pinks, creams, oranges, and blues, the collection evokes clear skies and sunsets over Gilga Farm’s citrus groves. Fabrics are lightweight and convey a natural feel — cottons, technical linen canvas, and wool-cashmere knits. heavy suede jacket in burnt orange is joined by lightweight nylon ripstop windbreakers. In signature Glover style, the collection sings with bright notes and surprises: a hero duvet jacket that becomes a sleeping bag for nights under the stars.

Practical elements like gardening hats and sturdy sandals anchor each look in purpose, while oversized silhouettes, tech fabrics, humorous patches and whimsical details inject a modern youthfulness. An interpretation of the Moncler Trailgrip Vela sandal comes in a simple and utilitarian leather and cotton ribbon form, available in white, with pale pink Vibram sole. Gear for wandering minds and grounded feet.
