Puffy effect

The down jacket, the athleisure garment par excellence, becomes a haute-couture item in actual fact, and reconfirms itself as the must-have outerwear of the winter, thanks to its unmatched quality to combat frost, practicality, and versatility to be combined with other garments. Many of the models that we saw from the front row of the catwalks have been shortened and reach exactly the waist, which is a return to the classic bomber jacket and oversize padded models. This is what Entire Studios offers: their models feature a hood and are crafted from shiny nylon, typical of the ‘80s. Rick Owens always relies on asymmetries in his half-sleeved down coats with offset fastening, crafted from translucent fabric, that offer a refined and super-cool new interpretation of one of the garments well-known to have been borrowed from sportswear. Padding has now crossed the boundaries of clothing and reached bags and accessories. Just like Bottega Veneta's legendary Padded Cassette, the bag with the unmistakable handwoven padded leather squares that has invaded Instagram; it comes in the iconic green of the maison and is now also available in laminated gold and silver leather.
