Context

With this recommendation, I aim to show that nothing is impossible and creativity knows no bounds. Breaking down one’s own limits to reinvent oneself—that’s the essence of Moncler Genius, which pushes the boundaries between art, design, sport, and culture by entrusting its codes to creative geniuses. Together with Adidas, they launched “The Art of Exploration: From the City to the Summit,” blurring the line between mountain and city, outdoor and streetwear. As Einstein said: “Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions.”

Potential Targets

Young adults (digital nomads, 18-30 years old, major cities)

Role

Market research, concept development, storyteller, and lead pitcher during the project presentation to make the core idea engaging and memorable.

How can Moncler and Adidas collaborate to redefine the boundaries between outdoor and streetwear while inspiring a new generation ?

FROM the city to the summit

Brand Activation

Le Louvres

Creation of a unique visual experience on the Louvre Pyramid. The pyramid’s triangular shape evokes mountain peaks. The concept is to cover the pyramid with a quilted shell, echoing the iconic coats from the Moncler/Adidas partnership.

Colonnes de Buren

Mannequins from “The Art of Exploration” collection will be displayed on the Colonnes de Buren. Mirrors will be placed around each column. As viewers move, their perception of reality will be distorted, immersing them alternately in an urban world and then a mountainous environment. This activation is inspired by Alicja Kwade’s work “The Quantity of a Moment” at the Pompidou, which plays with the distortion of reality.

Centre Pompidou

A Fake Out of Home was created: the down jackets will be hung on hangers outside the Centre Pompidou, forming an installation reminiscent of a cable car leading to the summit.

Shops

Every good special campaign involves retail! Adidas stores will be decorated with immersive facades featuring mountain videos to create a winter atmosphere. Inside, window displays will showcase the collection, and winter rooms will be set up, allowing customers to test the down jackets in extreme cold conditions.
