Moncler Grenoble's latest fashion showcase in Aspen, Colorado was a three-day extravaganza blending high-end apparel with a Western-inspired twist. Guests skied, snowboarded, and enjoyed luxurious meals between a spectacle of models streaming out of the woods in all-white outfits that almost blended into the snowy landscape.

Why it matters

Moncler's CEO Remo Ruffini wanted to bring a 'cowboy approach' to the Grenoble collection, pushing the boundaries of what a fashion show can be. The event was a success, but it raises questions about the future direction of the brand and whether this type of experiential fashion show is the new norm.

The details

The collection featured Western-inspired details like yoked backs on jackets, piping on sleeves and trouser legs, and laser-cut fringe on quilted jackets. Accessories included shearling bags, boot carriers, and patterned blankets. The fashion show itself was a sight to behold, with models emerging from the woods in all-white outfits that blended into the snowy landscape.

  • The three-day Aspen event took place in early April 2026.
  • Moncler Grenoble's Fall 2026 collection debuted at the fashion show.
