Last month Italian designer outwear company MONCLER announced that they will be partnering with producer/artist PHARRELL WILLIAMS, creator of the clothing lines Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream (kicks), to produce a line of men’s down coats called “BULLET PROOF”. The name “bullet proof” is not just a clever moniker, but a testament to the company that will be manufacturing the coats-Bionic Yarn ran by Pharrell’s partner Tyson Toussant; a green manufacturer of yarns made from recycled plastic bottles.
Though Moncler produces coats for men, women and children, the “bullet proof” line will cater to men only, sorry ladies. No word on pricing or distribution as of yet, but the line will be made available for the 2010 season
REMO RUFFINI, President and Creative Director of Moncler, hosted a dinner at CASA TUA in honor of Pharrell Williams celebrating the collaboration just last week. Here are some pics from Bionic Yarn’s Blog
