Telfar X Moose Knuckles is Reminiscent of Black Y2K Culture

October 25, 2021

Are you from New York even if you don't have a big black Telfar X Moose Knuckles puffa'?

It's the most wonderful time of the year — that being, the purveyors of all things winter gear, Moose Knuckles, and the all-hailed fashion brand, Telfar, have joined hands to create something magical for the first time ever. As the colder seasons approach, it was imperative that sooner or later, we would need a big black puffer with embossed Telfar logos all over it.

The 17 piece outerwear collection is a continuation of ceremonial staples seen in Telfar’s NYC roots. This is seen through paying homage to a distinctly New York outerwear tradition— one that features an all-over puff-embroidered TELFAR logo puzzle pattern. Moose Knuckles plays along by providing their key silhouettes and reimagining them — a winter drop New Yorkers will be all too familiar with.

The collection as whimsical as it is, is reminiscent of Black Y2K core, meaning the Babyphat's, the Rock-A-Wear's, and even the 'Apple Bottoms.' This is seen in the sinched ends of cropped coats with bubble sleeves, electric-gold zipper detailing, metallic stitching of the brands' name on the back of the jacket, and even on the butt of the pants. As the puff is appended onto all the pieces it adds a layer of texture and individualism to this line, with additional warmth. Stand-out pieces from this collection include the leather pants with fur - ring detailing and the embossed Telfar puzzle logo spread around. This pairs with the large shopping bag with that same logo that is sure to sell out in minutes.

If you've headed over to the Telfar website to see everything being sold out, you still have a chance to get your hands on this Winter's essentials. Starting on Monday, November 1 on mooseknucklescanada.com and TELFAR.net and at Moose Knuckles stores in SoHo (New York City), Roosevelt Field (New York), Boston (Massachusetts), and Westchester (New York) the collection will be available. And, beginning Monday, November 8, exclusive collection pieces will be available at Notre, Saks Fifth Avenue, Holt Renfrew, Ssense, and Galeries Lafayette.

ECCO.kollektive collaborates with Louis-Gabriel Nouchi

November 21, 2024

ECCO.kollektive has teamed up with Paris-based designer Louis-Gabriel Nouchi for a bold and innovative Spring/Summer 2025 collection. Known for his thoughtful exploration of masculinity and storytelling in fashion, Nouchi brings his unique perspective to this collaboration, blending his modern aesthetic with ECCO’s skill in craftsmanship and material innovation.

The collection features a range of footwear, clothing, and accessories, each designed with attention to detail. The collection uses a mix of black, deep red, and pearl white. Sensual touches, like Nouchi’s signature slits, combine with structured tailoring and flowing shapes, showing how the designer blends bold and refined styles.

We spoke with Louis-Gabriel Nouchi about the collection and his inspiration. From the textures of the human body to his love for stretch leather, Nouchi shared how the collaboration allowed to experiment with new ideas.

The collection debuted at Paris Fashion Week and draws inspiration from the textures of the human body. “The idea came from the textures of skin,” Nouchi explains. “I wanted to create something sensual and fluid, using leather in a way that felt both strong and soft. Leather has this amazing quality—it can feel like armor, but also like a second skin.”

Nouchi worked closely with ECCO to develop designs that showcase the versatility of their materials. High-shine biker nappa leather with a waxy finish appears in tailored separates like a single-breasted blazer, trousers, and long-line shorts. For a more experimental edge, he created a column dress and a pencil skirt using strips of leather embroidered onto stretchy tulle—a design he says was inspired by his younger self. “When I was young, I was obsessed with stretch leather because of designers like Jean-Claude Jitrois. It’s something I wanted to explore and bring into this collection, almost like fulfilling a dream for my past self.”

Footwear is another major highlight, featuring Derby shoes, Helsinki loafers, and the standout Truck Lace loafer with a bold platform. The shoe’s futuristic design draws from Nouchi’s fascination with brutalism and technology. “It might be a bit controversial,” he says, laughing, “but I really like the Tesla Cybertruck. The sharp, angular lines and futuristic look combined with that raw, brutalist vibe—it’s something that resonates with me. The platform on the Truck Lace loafer feels like a nod to that kind of design.”

Another unique detail is the inclusion of removable coins on some of the shoes, adding a playful yet personal touch. “You can take the coins off—it becomes almost like a lucky charm,” Nouchi says. “It’s one of those small details that make the pieces feel more connected to the wearer.”

Louis-Gabriel Nouchi’s signature slit motif, which adds subtle hints of reveal and concealment, runs throughout the collection. “The slit is about teasing the eye,” he explains. “It’s never about revealing too much—it’s about creating tension, a little mystery.” This motif appears on everything from loafers to hems, blending seamlessly with the collection's sensual yet structured aesthetic.

When asked about the versatility of his designs, Nouchi emphasizes their adaptability to different occasions. “You can wear these pieces in super casual situations on the street, looking super chic at night—super sexy,” he says. “From one garment, you can style it in so many ways during the day. For example, the tank top—you can wear it with pants, or without. It’s super hot, super cool, and it works for so many moments.”

For Nouchi, the collaboration with ECCO was as much about innovation as it was about creative freedom. “There are no limits with ECCO,” he says. “As a designer obsessed with materials, having the freedom to push development this far was an amazing opportunity. Fashion, for me, is like a laboratory. It’s about testing ideas and seeing how far we can take them.”

The ECCO.kollektive x Louis-Gabriel Nouchi collection is available now, combining high-quality craftsmanship with bold, modern design that showcases Nouchi’s vision and ECCO’s craftsmanship.
