Moncler Gamme Bleu
While other designers are simply flirting with Olympic themes this season, for Moncler sport is at the core of the brand. For spring/summer 2012 designer Thom Browne's sport of choice was fencing – working the brand's padded outerwear into protective vests and guards.

Key items: Snug-fit shorts cut above the knee and straight-leg pants provide the key bottom weights, while off-centre buttoned jackets and cropped gilets are padded in horizontal bands.

Nautical inspirations give rise to a couple of double-breasted pea coats, while other outerwear highlights include lightweight nylon parkas, a four-pocket utility jacket and a pair of structured trench coats
