Celebrating its alpine heritage, Moncler is unveiling a ready-to-wear collection under the Re/Icons project, reimagining archival designs such as the Karakorum and Himalaya jackets.

MILAN — Moncler is reprising its Re/Icons project that celebrates archival pieces, adding a comprehensive ready-to-wear collection — a first for the initiative.

Moncler is reinterpreting the Karakorum, Verone, Himalaya and Tibb jackets, paying tribute to its history, alpine culture and commitment to outfitting expeditions.

The jackets feature a sophisticated camaïeu color technique, and, inside, Vittorio Sella’s legendary photograph of K2, captured in June 1909, is rendered as a label. Metal logos attached to the pockets draw inspiration from vintage alpine souvenir pins.

The full-look collection includes windbreakers, T-shirts, pants and skirts, and is completed by beanies and balaclavas, silk-twill foulards and titanium and leather sunglasses inspired by vintage climbing goggles.

The Moncler Re/Icons collection will be previewed during Paris Fashion Week on Monday and Tuesday, in Il Rifugio, a renovated private space within Moncler’s Champs-Élysées store. It will then exclusively prelaunch at the Paris Champs-Élysées store on Thursday, followed by a dedicated pop-up at Tokyo’s Isetan department store and prelaunch at Moncler’s Fifth Avenue flagship on Oct. 14. The collection, which retails between 990 and 2,400 euros, will then launch globally at select Moncler stores and on the brand’s online site on Oct. 15.

Moncler Re/Icons was first introduced in 2023 and at the time executive chairman Remo Ruffini said the project “represents a unique opportunity to celebrate some of our timeless and most iconic styles by remastering, reimagining and reintroducing them to current and new generations of Moncler lovers.”
