Moncler Launches Jony Ive’s Latest Fashion Collection in New York
Jony Ive‘s new venture through his studio LoveFrom has unveiled a second collection for Moncler, featuring a signature bear climbing the Empire State Building, in celebration of Moncler’s new flagship location. At the heart of this collection is the versatile Moncore jacket, which you can pair with three different outer layers: a parka, poncho, and field jacket.
These layers attach to the Moncore jacket via the Duo Button, a magnetic fastening initially conceptualized by Ive for their first collaboration. Crafted from recycled nylon, the designs boast a soft beige hue. The material, woven from air-textured, yarn-dyed fibers, achieves a luxurious matte finish. Moncler utilizes extra-wide looms to cut each garment from a single fabric panel in his latest line.
This innovative collection will debut exclusively at Moncler’s expansive Fifth Avenue store in New York. Subsequently, it will be available worldwide, marking a significant retail milestone for the brand with these fresh designs.

Ive’s New Collection: Celebrating New York City Through Distinctive Patches
The collection includes limited-edition New York City-inspired patches featuring iconic symbols like a yellow taxi, apple, and musical elements, all nodding to LoveFrom’s bear logo. A notable highlight is a patch showcasing a bear climbing the Empire State Building. These designs are accompanied by nine New York-themed postcards, enriching the collection’s connection to the city.
Ive expressed admiration for Moncler CEO Remo Ruffini, noting, “Working with Remo is uniquely inspiring. His keen understanding of the interplay between design, culture, and place is extraordinary.” Ruffini reciprocated, emphasizing the creativity that love, friendship, and respect foster in their collaboration.
