(BUSINESS WIRE)--Since its origins, Moncler has been at the forefront of the ascent, equipping the world’s most intrepid pioneers – those first to explore, so others can follow.

That spirit lives on in the new Moncler Re/Icons collection, which takes iconic styles from the brand’s archives and reimagines them for a new generation, brought to life by three cultural pioneers who have forged their own extraordinary paths: Cher, JENNIE and Grace Jones.
