Since its inception in 1952 by René Ramillon and André Vincent, Moncler has continually pushed the boundaries of design. Luxurious skiwear and après apparel has expanded into haute couture collaborations with the likes of Pierpaolo Piccioli and Kei Ninomiya. Now at Milan Fashion Week the Italian brand will defy the constraints of timezones and technology to present 11 collections across five capital cities. It’s a fitting tribute to how the confines of oceans amid the pandemic have not hindered creative abilities.
Dubbed MONDOGENIUS, the immersive runway experience will join a global audience led by award-winning artist Alicia Keys. You can watch the livestream here from September 25.
In Milan, 1 Moncler JW Anderson will opt for an intimate experience rooted in our favorite pastime of attending the cinema.
