IN THE SPOTLIGHT: 3 MONCLER GRENOBLE

The latest offering from the Moncler Genius creative hub woos the mountain pioneer with an urban spirit. With 3 Moncler Grenoble, Creative Director Sandro Mandrino liberally blends design, functionality and a bold fashion twist via high-tech outerwear effectively conceived for the slopes yet ultimately perfect for après ski moments. This, thanks to a crop of layered looks that are colorful, pliable and multipurpose. Overalls, duvets, bombers, anoraks, trench coats and knits are mismatched joyously and in shiny-matt contrasts, defined by bursts of colorful graffiti prints – brushstrokes, penciled logos, lively geometries. A kaleidoscopic palette counters total white and black. In terms of fabric innovation, enter Dyneema®, the world’s strongest and most durable lightweight fiber, which is 15 times stronger than steel yet light enough to float on water, and Snow Glow, a photoluminescent membrane that glows in the dark after being exposed to sun or artificial warm light. Both are a solid reminder of how a spasmodic technical research and innovation remain at the core of the Moncler Grenoble Collection project.
