Moncler x Gilga Farm: Donald Glover’s Take on Californian Aesthetics

-
Anna Frattini

Donald Glover makes his debut at Moncler with a collection that smells of Californian sunsets, sleeping bags, and daydreams. The artist – also known as Childish Gambino – brings the soul of Gilga Farm into the world of ready-to-wear, transforming the brand’s technical and alpine heritage into a poetic and functional narrative that blends rural and urban vibes, lightness and depth.

Founded in 2023, Gilga Farm is much more than just a Californian farm: it is a creative lab nestled in the landscape of Ojai, where artists and free minds gather to shape ideas. This is where this unique collaboration was born – made of essential lines, citrus tones, and a philosophy that celebrates beauty through action and practicality. “The world revolves around doing. Act to bring who you are to life,” reads Gilga’s mantra – and that’s exactly where Glover began crafting the collection.

A Useful Aesthetic, a Gentle Irony

The Moncler x Gilga Farm capsule is titled “A World of Usefulness”, and rightly so. Forget conventional outdoor wear: here every piece is designed to transition seamlessly from orange groves to city sidewalks. The orange logo – a symbol of the farm – and the hues of pink, cream, blue, and orange evoke summer skies and poetic landscapes. The silhouettes are functional, the materials durable yet lightweight: from burnt suede to ripstop nylon, and even summer cashmere.

Then there’s a playful touch that makes everything even more personal: Monduck, Moncler’s mascot, appears as a farmer in quirky graphics. Among the standout pieces is a puffer jacket that transforms into a sleeping bag – perfect for nights under the stars – a tribute to the brand’s past, and to a slower, more intentional lifestyle.

Goodnight Gilga, Good Morning Moncler

The campaign is a dreamy journey oscillating between reality and imagination, illustrated in comic book style and narrated by Glover himself. The animated short tells the story of the protagonist falling asleep at Gilga Farm and waking up among snowy peaks – a perfect balance between the surreal and the everyday.

With this collection, Moncler not only redefines the concept of functionality, but embraces a new vision of contemporary lifestyle, where self-care and quality of time become integral to design. Moncler x Gilga Farm is available from June 18, 2025 in selected Moncler boutiques and on moncler.com.
