ANNIVERSARY DATE: Moncler turns 60 this year and to mark the anniversary of the brand, founded in 1952 by Grenoble, France-based René Ramillon will hit Paris Women’s fashion week with a special event on Sept. 29 at a location still to be determined.
Moncler, which recently tapped Christopher Raeburn to launch the men’s Moncler R line, sold a 48 percent majority stake to Paris-based investment firm Eurazeo in June 2011. Moncler’s president and creative director Remo Ruffini retained a 32 percent holding, while The Carlyle Group now owns 17.8 percent.
