ABOUT THE DESIGNER
Hiroshi Fujiwara is a streetwear legend. Born in Ise, Mie, Japan, he moved to Tokyo at 18 and played a role in the rise of the Harajuku streetwear scene. It was during a trip to New York City in the 1980s where he was introduced to hip hop, taking records back to Tokyo and becoming one of Japan’s first hip hop DJs.
ABOUT THE DESIGNER
Francesco Ragazzi started Palm Angels in 2011 to document LA’s skater culture. The Milan-born art director’s work eventually evolved into a book before becoming a fully-fledged clothing line. Ragazzi’s unique subculture observations have maintained authenticity and meaning while telling a unique story of the wearer.
Using technical experimentation and a variation of printed and uniquely-cut, fabrics, the 3 Moncler Grenoble collection combines technical features and pattern experimentation with uncommon fabrics to create referential pieces and stylish outerwear.
Rocha’s signature fabrications are balanced with hand-embellished details and strong feminine silhouettes that explore a new, modern femininity.
Celebrating fabrics, shapes and logos, fragment designer Hiroshi Fujiwara takes Moncler’s signature nylon laqué fabric and completes it with his recognizable graphics - with elements from repositioned logo pins to subtle nods to military shapes, the collection features t-shirts, parkas and puffer jackets.
Francesco Ragazzi’s Palm Angels authentically characterizes the Moncler quilted nylon laqué using details like safety pins, patches and oversized Palm Angels graffiti lettering on top of neoprene and Moncler macro logos.
The Moncler House of Genius stores rewrite the rulebook by providing access to the world’s most sought-after and influential designers in immersive spaces. Moncler Genius continues to speak to different voices through its carefully-curated collections, allowing individuals from all over the world to take a look from the inside.
