Reader Josh pointed out this jacket from Sean John (at right) to us.
Even with the Hefty bag quality of the material, it probably looks familiar to you. Why? Because it mimics the iconic, puffy Moncler jackets, of which we’re sure His Puffness is fully aware exist.
Need further proof? He’s dubbed his lookalike “the Montclair,” which is a little like giggling while taking money out of a store register.
But we guess it must be ok, since he is Puff Daddy (oof, we went there).

This is funny because EVERYONE makes puffy jackets. Uggh seriously. I think this was just an excuse to make puffy jokes.

@1:
"Chère" could work, no? "Une veste chère" ou "Moncler—une marque chère."

Shiny, Puffy Jackets are nothing new. I would bet that no one in here could figure out who first created the shiney puff jacket. Gap, Old Navy, Karma Loop, 80'sPurple, Macy's, Nordstrom etc all carry them!

but it's called the "Montclair", everyone! I think that is what made it "adventure"-worthy. It's like, of all the ways he could have slightly changed the name of a cheap knock-off jacket, he had to choose the one that (from what I understand) is a sort of icky place in new jersey? Pretty funny...

I agree, 15. In fact I think it's fair to say that Moncler is ripping us off for making puffy jackets seem like something new and fashionable and then making us pay more than oh, say fifty dollars for them. And then the neon Moncler handbags? Really? C'mon I think Diddy is our friend here.

Last March, a few designers embraced the one off ad. Ads are expensive, and if you've got the momentum of a Rodarte or a Phillip Lim, unnecessary (for now). Unless of course the economy tanks. One of the designers who gave the idea a shot, Zac Posen, shot this ad… Read More

Très funny indeed.
But fyi, you mean "pas cher" (no "e").
