Although It Is Getting A Little Warmer,

it is still quiet chilly in the mornings,

 so I thought I would have a look at what the youngsters are wearing to keep warm in these chilly mornings,

 at first I thought they were outdoor capes, as each featured the typical quilted style of down jackets, but I was so wrong,

 winter apparel brand Moncler has partnered with Valentino’s creative director Pierpaolo Picciolo to create massive gowns that reference classic cold-weather puffy coats, yes they are not outdoor capes at all,

 they are gowns!

 typical subdued winter wear colors are swapped out for a riot of jewel tones accented with variegated stripes,

 the collaboration, which is part of Moncler’s Genius program, engaged Picciolo, as well as designer and model Liya Kebede, to dream up the unusual shapes and patterns,

this is the second rendition by Picciolo, who last year drew inspiration from Renaissance paintings, I wonder if Cinderella would have chosen one of these?
