The Moncler + Ding Yun Zhang collection arrives in stores

23 February - 2022

Fashion and sustainability are an increasingly connected pair. Climate change and its consequences on the environment have also imposed numerous reflections on the fashion system.

Respect for animals, for natural elements and the need for large-scale productivity have led more and more fashion brands to understand that the only way forward is through sustainability, which does not detract from the manufacture of garments or their value, but gives back a lot in terms of environmental impact.

Fashion, after all, is born from the context in which we live and responds to major social and generational changes by trying to interpret them, providing, where possible, answers and solutions. It is with this in mind that a young debutant designer named Ding Yun Zhang comes to the forefront as the flagship of a sector capable of respecting the ecosystem in which we live. His models immediately stood out for the ethics they express.

It is therefore no coincidence that a brand like Moncler, which has its roots in the world of mountains and has always been attentive to issues of sustainability, has launched a collaboration with this young fashion promise. Thus was born Moncler + Dingyun Zhang: an exclusive collection that sees the iconic down jacket reinvented under the creative mind of Zhang. Large padding, technical fabrics, large hoods are the protagonists of this eco-friendly line: an over-size headgear to feel safe in an increasingly uncertain world where the only thing that can no longer be covered is our responsibility towards the environment.

The dominant palette is coral: inspired, therefore, by a fragile ecosystem to be protected. The down jackets seem to have come out of a future reality and, on closer inspection, it is precisely in that direction that they look. Discover the details of this unusual and surprising collaboration in the Moncler store in our spaces in the historic center of Bologna, where fashion and the environment come together in the name of a better future.
