He will debut on October 15 and the hype around the first collaboration Moncler Maya 70 Collaborations – which, on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the brand, celebrates the legendary down jacket maya after 7 reinterpretations by 7 designers – this is already a takeoff. Especially since we start with palm angelsa project launched in 2011 by Milan-based art director and photographer Francesco Ragazzi.
Moncler Maya 70 Collaboration With Palm Angels: Light Down Jacket
Born as a documentary on Los Angeles skate culture, Palm Angels has grown rapidly and in 2015 becomes a clothing line deeply rooted in the local community. A virtue, on the one hand, of a vision that finds in clothing an element of identification with a strong cultural value, and on the other hand, the imagery of American subcultures reimagined in an exquisitely Italian perspective. A fashion and storytelling project that Moncler has always believed in, so the collaboration between the two brands is certainly not new. Indeed, Palm Angels is one of Moncler’s most significant geniuses in this expressive vein.
A new chapter has been added today that takes on the iconic shapes of the famous Maya down jacket. And if, on the occasion of Milan Fashion Week, we saw him in 100% Moncler version (pure, austere, flawless white, endlessly reproduced on 1952 performers who love snowflakes in unison to enliven Piazza Duomo in Milan) with Moncler Maya 70 by Palm In collaboration with Angels, the jacket is completely covered in luminous optic fibers, and features the Palm Angels logo on the back and 8 Moncler Palm Angels felt padding on the front.
“I never stop thinking about the future. It’s exciting to imagine it and somehow foresee what’s to come. This is the inspiration for my interpretation, which is much more than a blanket. When you turn it on, it is also a source of light,” explained Francesco Ragazzi, whom he chose as the protagonist of the campaign. Elsa Hosk. “I think Elsa perfectly embodies the idea of the future and light, and this fully shows her essence and my vision for Moncler,” added the founder of Palm Angels.
Plato’s photography exhibition in London
To further emphasize the idea of light, we think that renowned photographer Plato is signing the campaign presented today on the occasion of the project’s London exhibition. An Incredible Expedition: A multi-sensory journey into the past, present and future of Moncler. The exhibition includes both images from Plato’s campaign with a portrait of Elsa Hosk, as well as other 6 faces that will represent / dress subsequent Moncler Maya 70 collaborations, as well as portraits of prominent creative personalities associated with the City of London (including a self-portrait of the photographer himself), to which is added a 4-minute film directed by Plato himself. A celebration of the extraordinary personality.
