Uniqueness by Alessandra Facchinetti at thecorner.com‏

Uniqueness, designer Alessandra Facchinetti is launching a concept of "No seasons, no rules" Capturing an urban spirit, cutting across a wide spectrum of people, places, situations. Open to individual interpretation. All a mere click away. On thecorner.com with a first collection of timeless styles through 24 different looks with floral prints, military tailoring and pleating details.

Collection now available to buy with Alessandra tells all in an exclusive interview for thecorner.com the new project.

Uniqueness seizes the moment and puts it online at www.uniqueness.it. A work in progress display window showcases a timeless no-wait line of clothing: a continual flow of new products, sold everywhere 24/7 with immediate delivery. The project is also available in major multi-brand stores and online at thecorner.com. Uniqueness finds inspiration in and comes to life on the Web. With a website offering a constant glimpse of Alessandra’s collection, her passions and ideas, the latest updates and tips from the Mood Board and the special initiatives of the Board of Uniqueness, a group of like-minded creative individuals who will come together to share their ideas and experiences. It’s an online magazine that sells fashion while looking far beyond standard fashion horizons.

Warm or cold climate, morning or evening, a particular month or year, how old we are: they no longer matter. Today, style, at once urban and global, is absolutely non seasonal. What we find here online is fashion with an innovative tech slant, everyday life and emotions in a “uniform” key. Timeless clothes clearly made in Italy, to use and enjoy following the mood, color, print, desire of the moment. For this is a precise style totally open to personal expression. Taking the term fashion-forward to new heights, Uniqueness envisions no seasonal wardrobe change, only the change of scenes.

THE COLLECTION 

Four color groups – green, white & black, pink, yellow – suggest the passing of time through 24 different looks playing with multiple nuances. Floral Print Uniforms redefine severe elegance through fresh chromatic sensations. Solid tones add a special depth to fabrics as “transversal” in the Uniqueness universe. All open to interpretation in a game beyond borders and seasons, for the world has changed. And along with it, so has the jacket – now in an all-year version. In a world where time and space are suspended the waterproof cotton peacoat features fine tailoring; the mannish polyester stretch twill jacket comes (open) over shorts plus a belt in metal and velvet; the latest superlight nylon puffer parka has a high-tech appeal, a loose-fitting cut, army detailing but no hood. Pants sport tucks, as well as optional contrasting waistband and asymmetric eco-fur patch, while the print “uniforms” will come both with metal and velvet bijoux and without. Classic chic begins a new life thanks to the second-skin suit and the catchy floral pleated skirt/blouse combo. These are clothes for a woman who knows how to have fun with patchworks, who finds a quiet quirkiness perfectly reassuring. Next on the lineup: psychedelic-botanical print gloves.

Moncler Launches First Online Boutique

Innovative and original graphics accompany the visitor into the Moncler world. Navigating it rewrites the rules of moncler.com

 As with a guided tour, visitors have the opportunity to discover and familiarize themselves with the latest innovations, news and updates regarding the Moncler collections for men and women, accessories, and the more technical proposals of Moncler Grenoble, taking in the Moncler S and Moncler V collections along the way. They can all be “browsed” in the “news” section, and, most importantly, they can be purchased in the virtual boutique, which is available in 5 languages. 

The exclusiveness of the shopping experience doesn’t end at the order, but continues with the delivery in customised packaging that emphasizes the comprehensiveness of the image and the attention paid to the customer; both aspects for which Moncler is renowned. 

The virtual store enhances the Moncler strategy, both on the retail front, which is experiencing a period of marked expansion, and on the online presence front, with the new launch of the site and dedicated Web promotion initiatives. 

Remo Ruffini, Moncler President and Creative Director says: “This launch is a crucial point within our global strategy. Our retail network is also being expanded through the Web. Further initiatives that have already been planned will respond ever better to the requirements and the demands of a world which, on one hand, is increasingly globalized and which, on the other hand, demands exclusive proposals in retail outlets”
