Matching technical excellence with aesthetic research is at the core of Moncler, the Leica & Moncler project is strictly linked to this distinctive feature of the brand. I am so proud of this new collaboration; a 360° project starting from Leica hi-end technology, through to the art photography and the creativity of a visionary artist as Fabien Baron, landing to Greenland to catch the spirit of Moncler, the magnificence of the ice. I thank Fabien for the solemnity of his pictures capturing the world of Moncler” – said Remo Ruffini, Moncler President.
