In a majestic takeover of the iconic Piazza Del Duomo in Milan, Monclercelebrated its 70th anniversary on the evening of September 25. In an unprecedented public event that launched a 70-day program of global festivities, Moncler united nearly 18,000 spectators and paid homage to its classic Maya jacket—a revitalized historical design. The extraordinary show, choreographed by the master Sadeck Berrabah (Sadeck Waff), opened with the prima ballerina of Teatro alla Scala di Milano, Virna Toppi, and showcased the energetic contemporary style and creative expertise of 1952 artists, which symbolized the founding year of Moncler. For friends of the brand in attendance—including Alessandra Ambrosio, Salehe Bembury, Hiroshi Fujiwara, Future, Matilde Gioli, Anne Hathaway, Elsa Hosk, Carmen Jordá, JR, and Colin Kaepernick—artists “painted” the square white while performing in exclusive Moncler Maya 70 jackets. Dancers, musicians, choir members, and models electrified the square and introduced a jubilant new chapter in the Moncler legacy with a burst of confetti.

On the evening of September 29, Maseratiraised a glass to its new Milan boutique with a fashionable and star-studded soirée. Friends from diverse industries—like the actor and philanthropist Jon Kortajarena, theItalian pianist and composer Dardust, and the Egyptian model and social entrepreneur Elisa Sednaoui—came together to enjoy a preview of the opulent space alongside culinary delights by Michelin-starred chef Massimiliano Alajmo and beats by DJ Scilla Ruffo di Calabria. The innovative space was co-created with New York-based design firmEight Inc., fusing the elegance of a tailor’s atelier with the energy of a creative workshop. The luxury sports cars are warmly lit like fine art in a gallery, redefining the car showroom as we know it. The store also introduced Maserati-lovers to the ultimate personalized experience, known as Fuoriserie, with a new program that allows clients to create a one-of-a-kind vehicle from the inside out that’s inspired by their own creativity and individuality. Maserati’s Milan debut ushers in a parade of stores in major cities like Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Berlin by the end of the year, with more to come in 2023.
