If there is another fashion house making outerwear just as original, covetable and cool as Moncler, then we don't know about it. Though it's the classic puffer jacket stamped with a small round sleeve-patch that has become the iconic item of the Italian-owned brand, the real female gravitas happens with the Gamme Rouge collection designed by Giambattista Valli. This season, Valli played with a longer, slimmer silhouette in the trademark puffers, which he broke up with two-tone blocking. There was also a magnificent, muted leopard print coat with fur collar, a dash of astrakhan, and even neon yellow fur coats for those channelling Keith Haring. For evening, cropped puffers were proposed with full-length evening gowns - the perfect synthesis of chalet après-ski merging with cocktail hour.
