Thom Browne embarked on an outlandish Highland fling for Moncler Gamme Bleu’s latest collection, presented on a winter wonderland set strewn with slain knights speared with ski poles. Sporting war paint, alpine warriors came out layered up in long puffy kilts and fitted puffer jackets in tartans or an embossed ivory cable-knit finish — with the two often fused together on one piece. The cable-knit coats were intriguing, like seeing someone in a thick sweater in a blizzard. Browne succeeded in making the ridiculous look cool, successfully dialing down the wackiness.
