RANCH-CHIC AT MONCLER GRENOBLE ASPEN SHOW
words by FRANCESCO PIZZUTI
Giddy-up! Moncler Grenoble just went full cowboy charm on us with their Fall/Winter 2026 show in Aspen. Set against Colorado’s Rocky Mountains, the show gathered the brand’s global community to witness the newest expression of Moncler’s exclusive mountain universe.

Drawing on decades of mountain living, the French-born brand packed its bags and traveled west — all the way to Colorado — to find its next inspiration. And no, it isn’t called “Colorful Colorado” for nothing: as loden took center stage, the state’s dramatic landscapes and earthy tones spilled straight into the collection.
Aspen was the perfect match for Moncler’s ranch-chic aura. A town that found its footing in the 1950s, Aspen evolved into a sport, lifestyle, and cultural capital with the mountain at its heart and snow firmly in its soul.
So, after a full day of snow sports, guests like Italian darling Bianca Balti and comedic genius Aubrey Plaza were ready to dedicate themselves to a different, yet equally snowy, pursuit: Moncler Grenoble’s show.
Models navigated snow moguls in looks designed for the terrain but elevated in full Aspen episode of RHOBH fashion, with jackets with reinforced shoulders, western-style piping, and laser-cut fringe details enhancing the mood.
American and European mountain culture fused to offer us something richer, more inspired, and slightly campy. Delicate hand-stitched floral embroidery traced collars and trouser pockets, echoing the quiet poetry of traditional mountain dress, where function and beauty have always moved as one.
All in all, this collection proves that garments designed for extreme freezing conditions are still allowed to loosen up a little. As it traveled through Colorado’s wilderness, elements of nature clung to it, leaving delicate floral patterns, Aspen leaves, and imagined maps of Colorado, bringing a frisky essence to practical outerwear.
