PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF MONCLER READY, JET SET, GO! BID ADIEU TO STANDARD TRAVEL WITH RIMOWA AND MONCLER'S ÜBER-FAB LUGGAGE COLLAB. BY LISA FERRANDINO If Rimowa is synonymous with invincible hard-case luggage, and Moncler with impossibly chic puffer coats, then any collaboration between the two is destined for must-have status. The German-based luggage company and the French sport apparel label's first collabora- tion came about in 2012, and the two are teaming up once again to introduce the Multiwheel Topas Stealth collection, combining Moncler's sleek high-fashion style with Rimowa's high-tech innovation. The collection boasts a lightweight gray aluminum exterior (with Rimowa's signature grooves, of course) in three different sizes, each with a quilted camouflage fabric developed by Moncler specifically for the collection. Even better, the silenced Multiwheel gliding system, in addition to optimal functionality and maneuver- ability, makes for quiet traveling across any terminal or tarmac. And with accesso- ries like footwear bags and wash bags—perfect for all of those personal possessions and TSA-approved liquids—it's the ultimate set of luggage to get you from Aspen to the Costa Smeralda and back again. And we're off! Moncler, 33 E. Oak St., 312-361-8573; moncler.com; rimowa.com . Globetrotters, rejoice: Marrying German engineering with French chic, Rimowa and Moncler's latest luggage collab (HERE AND TOP LEFT, $1,700) proves worthy of Moncler loyalists like Brigitte Bardot (ABOVE) and Jackie O.
