Moncler works in collaboration with Palm Angels on the new special light up Maya jacket for the colder seasons ahead. Francesco Ragazzi, the founder of Palm Angels talks about the new collaborative coat, stating “I’ve always viewed the American market as an outsider, but I’ve been fascinated by US culture, hip-hop culture — it’s something that I felt very connected with, and of course, this has influenced the brand.”
This project aims to create a strong interpretation whilst delivering sustainable looks through the selection and use of materials and fabrics. It simultaneously celebrates the 70s anniversary of Moncler as well. Ragazzi continues, “We worked with an optic fiber that lightens up. For me, metaphorically, this meant to shed light on the future, literally putting the spotlight on it.”
