This week, Whitewall’s Brand New column highlights new releases from brands like Louis Vuitton, Moët & Chandon, and Moncler.
Moncler has introduced two new installations to its “Genius” project: “5 Moncler Craig Green” and “2 Moncler 1952.” Created in collaboration with menswear brand Craig Green, this capsule collection includes a selection of ultra-padded, sculptural men’s coats, which are like airy, contemporary suits of armor—available in resolute colors like black, midnight blue, and army green. In contrast, the “1952” line features a selection of brightly colored garments for both men and women like jackets, vests, accessories, and casual pants.

Louis Vuitton has revealed the latest addition to Les Parfums Louis Vuitton, “Attrape-Rêves,” which is French for “dream catcher.” An addictive blend of African cocoa flower, peony accord, Turkish rose absolute, and lychee, the mysterious fragrance embodies the fleeting moments we wish we could keep forever, while celebrating our ability to experience awe. It is the ninth women’s fragrance for the house.
Notre Monde’s Fall 2018 collection includes a highlight for an array of interiors: “Mini Organic Trays.” Available in four colors—tortoise, yellow, moss, and teal—and three sizes, the hexagon-shaped trays feature a metal rim and beautifully hand painted glass, making them a functional piece of art.

Pierre Hardy has announced the latest installation in its “Édition Limitée” collection, the Neon Trek Comet. An explosively-colored athletic style in electric blue and neon orange, the matte leather and neoprene running shoe is limited to 150 pieces.
