MOOSE KNUCKLES JOINS FORCES WITH TELFAR
Canadian luxury outerwear brand Moose Knuckles is teaming up with New York-based designer Telfar Clemens and his eponymous label on a 17-piece outerwear collection.
As Telfar’s first foray into outerwear, the capsule is a continuation of the revival of key pieces synonymous with his NYC roots. Moose Knuckles key silhouettes are reimagined in a winter drop that serves as an ode to New Yorkers’ penchant for getting noticed while minding their own business.
The capsule collection features a classic bomber set with a matching pair of fox-trimmed boot-cut ski pants. Additional pieces include a double-breasted hybrid-wool and nylon Puff Peacoat and Puff-Hoodie Hybrid in classic Telfar monogram engineered into bands of nylon puff.
The Puff-Hoodie pairs with matching Puff-Sweatpants, which are spliced at the knees with generous rings of boot-cut nylon puff. Wrought in leather, nylon, fleece, and fox Moose Knuckles x Telfar pays homage to a distinctly New York outerwear tradition.
Don’t panic — there are bags. Moose Knuckles x Telfar will debut with a limited-edition Puff-Telfar Shopper. The classic Medium Shopper with its original embossed “TC” logo is constructed in luscious puff-down nylon. For the first time ever, Moose Knuckles x Telfar will introduce the Large Shopper – featuring the all-over puzzle-piece monogram in trapunto nylon puff.
And, moving forward, Moose Knuckles will also engineer and manufacture the debut of Telfar’s own inline outerwear collection set to release this fall through Telfar’s distribution channels.
“Working with one of the most forward-thinking designers in the industry today has been a dream come true,” said Dominique Lagleva, vice president of global marketing at Moose Knuckles. “Our mutual vision to create something off-duty, effortless, and responsible in its construction allowed for incredible synergy between our brands. By infusing Moose Knuckles’ signature shapes, with Telfar’s iconic designs we developed something completely new and timeless that we feel both our communities will appreciate.”
“This is designed specifically for everyone,” added Clemens. “If I don’t see it in the street every day it didn’t really happen.”
The highly-anticipated collaboration, which will retail between $195 and $4,300, will launch on November 1st on mooseknucklescanada.com and telfar.net. To follow, beginning November 8th, exclusive collection pieces will be available at Saks Fifth Avenue, Holt Renfrew, SSENSE, Notre, and Galeries Lafayette.
