Moncler Maya 70 By Thom Browne

As part of Moncler's 70^th anniversary celebrations, the brand launches the Moncler Maya 70 Collaborations: a series of seven reinterpretations of the iconic Maya jacket by seven designers. Launching second on October 22^nd is the Moncler Maya 70 by Thom Browne.

Thom Browne brings his signature formal twist to the Maya down jacket, crafted with flanelle d’angleterre and nylon laqué in a collage of the designer’s distinctive tropes. “Moncler has such strong heritage. I wanted to bring my own signature to the Maya jacket for the 70th anniversary edition: the Thom Browne uniform, thereafter, was pleated, down-filled, twisted, reappropriated,” says Browne, who chose actor Lee Pace for the accompanying campaign, adding “I wanted to work with someone who is truly confident in themselves, a true individual. Lee is like family, and I like to keep it all in the family - how nice.”

THOM BROWNE BIOGRAPHY

Thom Browne is widely recognized for challenging and modernizing today’s uniform. By questioning traditional proportions, Browne’s designs consistently convey a true American sensibility rooted in quality craftsmanship and precise tailoring.
