Moncler and Remo Ruffini turned Courchevel Altiport, the highest airport in Europe at 2,008 meters above sea level, into a literal “runway show” for Moncler Grenoble Fall/Winter 2025.
The 140-look collection puts the constraints of palettes, silhouettes, and fabrics aside to blend function and form in a way that Grenoble only knows how. Moncler calls this “sartorial tech,” where the team spends as much time designing the pieces as they do researching materials, knits, techniques, surface treatments, construction innovation, artisanal craftsmanship, embroidery, and embellishment. Frankly, the results speak for themselves.
Technical items such as ski suits and shells feature premium intarsia, smart wool is seen in pied de poule patterns, and denim and canvas have been used extensively to add a workwear touch. Meanwhile, natural and synthetic shearling is used as full coats or wrapped around collars, cuffs, or plush handbags, and bouclé has been given an invisible membrane to make sure it’s fit for the mountain. This is one of the most impressive collections that we’ve seen from Moncler in some time. Let’s take a closer look!
The word “performance luxury” gets thrown around quite a bit, but few brands can host a runway show at a place like Courchevel Altiport.
There were no heaters here to keep guests warm. No, with a backdrop of snow-covered mountains, names like Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz Beckham, Anne Hathaway, Maria Sharapova, Jessica Chastain, Ashley Park, Adrien Brody, and Qi Wei all sat outdoors to watch the show wrapped in white duvet capes.
It was a spectacle of an event, but an impactful one as it keenly demonstrates the function aspects of these pieces.
Five-time Olympian and three-time Olympic gold medalist Shaun White was also in the building to debut his latest Moncler Grenoble x WHITESPACE snowboard. While the exact details of this board are yet to be shared, the previous model with a sell-out success and used a poplar and Balsa core, wrapped in a combination of Dura-LT carbon fibreglass and Carbon X45 fibreglass with a thermoplastic ABS sidewall. These are not art pieces, they’re highly functional as powder/all-mountain boards.
Both the men’s and women’s collections find neutral tones of white, beige, brown, grey, and light
blue, red, and denser navies and blacks.
