MONCLER x MERCEDES-BENZ BY NIGO

April 4th, 2025

When three cultural powerhouses collide—Moncler, Mercedes-Benz, and NIGO—you know it’s more than a collection. It’s a moment. Blending Moncler’s alpine luxury, Mercedes-Benz’s precision engineering, and NIGO’s unmistakable creative direction, this collab is a bold redefinition of fashion-meets-function. Think high-performance outerwear and G-Wagons wrapped in quilted puff — yes, really.



NYC: A Private Event with Major Energy
To debut the collection, NIGO hosted an exclusive event in New York City, a setting that mirrors the soul of the collection itself. Drawing heavy inspiration from 1980s and 1990s aesthetics, the collab pays homage to the raw, authentic energy of NYC’s golden era of hip-hop—a culture that helped shape NIGO’s early creative identity.

The event had all the energy of a block party meets luxury showroom. With spotlights on quilted G-Class SUVs, oversized Moncler puffers, and capsule-ready streetwear, guests were immersed in a world where icy slopes and city pavement coexist.


Notable Guests in the Building

The star-studded guest list brought together tastemakers across fashion, music, and art. Joey Bada$$ pulled up in true NY fashion, representing the generation that continues to bridge legacy and evolution. Legendary artist and cultural icon KAWS was also in attendance, a long-time peer of NIGO and a constant force in redefining visual culture. Their presence underscored the deep respect this collection commands across creative circles.

Other attendees included high-profile fashion insiders, music producers, and automotive elite—each drawn to the rare fusion of craftsmanship, nostalgia, and bold futurism on display.


Quilted G-Wagons & Street-Ready Peaks
The standout? An absolutely unreal quilted Mercedes-Benz G-Class—an homage to Moncler’s signature puffer aesthetic. Wrapped in what looks like down-filled upholstery, it blurs the line between sculpture and vehicle. On the fashion side, expect oversized puffers, utility vests, and accessories that echo the tactical-meets-luxury language of both brands. Everything is infused with NIGO’s signature twist: nostalgia, edge, and reverence for the street.


The Fit: Puffers, Patchwork, and Precision

The apparel lineup pushes the boundaries of outerwear, with Moncler’s iconic silhouettes reimagined through NIGO’s streetwear sensibility. Think oversized puffers with exaggerated collars, military-style quilting, and bold patchwork patterns that nod to vintage hip-hop fashion. Neutral tones are punctuated with metallics and icy blues, giving the collection a futuristic-yet-retro edge. Utility plays a key role too—cargo details, technical fabrics, and adjustable fastenings turn every piece into something both functional and statement-making. Whether you’re hitting the slopes or the streets, these garments are engineered to turn heads and defy limits.
The Moncler x Mercedes-Benz by NIGO collection doesn’t just merge brands—it merges worlds. From the snowy peaks of the Alps to the concrete jungles of New York, this is a collection for those who move between them without skipping a beat. With creative legends like Joey Bada$$ and KAWS front row, it’s clear this isn’t just fashion—it’s culture in motion.
