Ain’t No Mountain High Enough
@moncler 🏔️✨
My Grandad gifted me my first Moncler for my 18th birthday. It was the iconic 1980s Paninaro model down jacket in a rare purple colour, brand new, with the original tags attached. From that moment in time, I fell in love with the world of
@monclerheritage for its extraordinary roots and DNA in adventure, uniqueness, and creative innovation.
8 years later, that passion, desire, and search for the unknown, has turned into a collection of over 1500 pieces and documents, comprising of: the very first Moncler ever made in 1952, camping tents, sleeping bags, and pieces worn by legendary mountaineers and Olympic skiers.
Building an archive is like building a puzzle, without knowing the end result picture. My duty and responsibility is discovering lost information and bringing structure back to memory in the historical timeline. Most importantly however, are the stories and people behind each piece, and the impact they have on others. So I want to thank Rene Ramillon, Andre Vincent, Lionel Terray, Annie Charlon, and
@chantalthomass for your Genius. After all, in the wise words of
@remoruffini “There is no future without the past”.
It’s been an honour to curate this archive exhibition, many thanks to
@moncler for the opportunity, for supporting my vision, and trusting me to do what I do best and help create value in heritage. It’s been a pleasure working with so many wonderful people to make this dream a reality
@random_studio @nextgroup.eu @kamalelaoufi @jur.show @airsolutions.international @dsl__studio @sabino.pantone and many more.
Last of all, thank you to my family, who are the reason I am here 🥇❤️
