Moncler
The name is a place. Moncler is a contraction of Monestier-de-Clermont, a village in the mountains outside Grenoble, and the house started there making equipment rather than clothes: padded sleeping bags, tents, a lined hooded cape for people working at altitude. Everything the label is now recognised for still carries that brief — keep the wearer warm while they are moving, and let the construction show.
What followed was the down jacket treated as a piece of design. Baffles are placed to hold loft where the cold gets in; nylon shells are chosen for the way they resist weather rather than the way they photograph; hoods, storm cuffs and two-way zips are structural. Milan is home now, and the range has widened into knitwear, jersey and lighter layers, but the quilted line running across a chest remains the clearest signature in outerwear.
