This year Moncler Genius enters a new phase and goes beyond the product embracing the world of experience while empowering personal communication and bringing connections and emotions from the digital domain to real life. The house of different voices breaks its own boundaries by exploring beyond fashion and giving a voice to personal creativity.
Moncler Genius takes its first step in this direction joining forces with the iconic luggage brand RIMOWA to unveil a bold new travel concept, Moncler RIMOWA “Reflection”, showcasing novel innovations in technology, connectivity, and communication in the digital age. The idioms of social media are brought to a physical dimension giving people the opportunity to communicate and connect with the world.
MATE.BIKE offers a unique take on progressive travel with an electrical bike created for the extreme terrain of the mountain and the snow, testing the boundaries of conventional commuting and personal expression.
Remo Ruffini conceived Moncler Genius as an answer to the times. It is one house, different voices. Moncler Genius provides the frame, the lasting values and the tools to create, to residents that come and go. The values are solid and the shapes change constantly. It is a place where contemporary shapers of culture belonging to the world beyond Moncler are invited, in order to have other points of view on what the house stands for.
Rapidity is the key. The needs and the tastes of contemporary customers change at lightning speed. Fashion itself endlessly changes and morphs: Moncler Genius is a seismographer and this is why it is always in flux.
By avoiding to turn into a formula, Moncler Genius challenges, surprises, and engages. The dialogue with the public is two-way, and is vital. Surprise and newness are the way.
One house speaks through different voices and Moncler keeps connecting through creativity.
