Moncler Re/Icons: The Karakorum Jacket Returns

Practicality has always come first for Moncler. Founded in 1952 to protect alpine workers from the brutal conditions of the Monestier-de-Clermont peaks, the brand was armouring explorers on their mission to reach the summit of K2 just two years later. The armour in question? A pioneering padded jacket equipped with double-down insulation and adjustable toggles – a prototype for modern-day styles. The Karakorum ‘duvet’, as it was known, was written into history books. Today, almost 70 years later, the mythic jacket returns for the second chapter of the Moncler RE/ICONS project – a meeting of the brand’s heritage and future.

A Short History

The Legend Lives On

This year, Moncler returns to the mountaintop where it all began, releasing three brand-new designs that pay tribute to the Karakorum’s significance in its heritage. The first is the Karakorum Cotton Jacket – a snow-white, duvet-like layer that honours the original design with adjustable toggle details at the hood. The second, a lacquered and brightly coloured Karakorum Ripstop Jacket – a reference in both name and style to the signature Moncler look that defined Italy’s youth culture in the 1980s. And finally, the Karakorum Tech Jersey Jacket – a cool, matte-black silhouette that brings itss technical and aesthetic excellence into the modern day.
