The purveyor of high-performance ski-wear and quality down jackets is dropping the third edition of its Moncler Genius on 6 June. One year on, the well-received initiative is still keeping true to its motto of “One House, Different Voices”, with each invited “Genius” interpreting the core product to give variety to the famed down jacket that transcends cultural and geographical boundaries, and is favoured by the style-conscious.

New additions this round include Richard Quinn and Matthew Williams of 1017 ALYX 9SM, who together with returning collaborators contribute to the Moncler vocabulary, which is focused on authenticity, function, and performance. Each collection is released through monthly drops, with Palm Angels kickstarting this edition of Moncler Genius.

Francesco Ragazzi, founder of Palm Angels, is no stranger to Moncler. Not only is this Ragazzi’s sophomore Moncler Genius stint, but he was also Moncler’s artistic director. Therefore, the co-inspired collection can be seen as personifying the true essence of Moncler Genius – Moncler’s sensibilities inevitably shaped Ragazzi’s aesthetics since his arrival at the House as an intern, while Palm Angel’s dynamism is 100 per cent Ragazzi’s. It is no wonder Palm Angels is a natural choice to open the latest Moncler Genius instalment.
