MONCLER.COM IS NOW LIVE
Over the past months Wednesday have been working with Moncler on a range of projects launching throughout 2011; the first of these is the new e-commerce website for Moncler.com which went live this week. The site’s unique homepage design reveals new content through an innovative scrolling functionality while showcasing the diversity of the brand by creating a flexible, transparent system which allows the different collections to speak for themselves, helping to tell the story behind each one.
Wednesday’s approach was to create a site intended to elevate Moncler’s rich aesthetic and articulate its creativity. This continues right through to the art direction of the products on a black background, giving Moncler a clear and ownable product-visual aesthetic.
Since the rebirth brought about by chairman and creative director Remo Ruffini in 2003, the brand has gone from strength to strength beyond its origins in the Alps and is now recognised as one of the most creatively innovative and sought after labels in the industry. The new website is the start of a range of digital initiatives Wednesday is working on with Moncler.

WEDNESDAY ARE WORKING WITH MONCLER
Wednesday are working with Moncler on a range of projects launching throughout 2011/12. Since
the rebirth brought about by chairman and creative director Remo Ruffini in 2003, the brand has
gone from strength to strength beyond its origins in the Alps and is now recognised as one of the
most creatively innovative and sought after fashion labels in the industry.
From the takeover of New York Grand Central Terminal for the Moncler Grenoble collection show in
February, to the collaborative collections for Moncler Gamme Bleu with Thom Browne and Moncler
V with Hiroki Nakamura, the brand has shown itself to be a true pioneer and demonstrated a
unique ability to pair an innovative approach to technical fabrics with a metropolitan avant garde
style.
Wednesday are working on the strategy and creative realisation of a new Moncler.com and the
brand’s first ever e-commerce platform – due to launch this summer – as well as a range of broader
digital initiatives launching later in 2011 through to 2012.

Tory Burch is now live
In partnership with the Tory team Wednesday redesigned the new online home of Tory Burch. The new site design translates the unique Tory Burch aesthetic online in an original and sophisticated manner while maintaining the brand’s balance of aspiration and commercial appeal. Inspired by Tory’s designs, Wednesday enhanced the site’s color and vibrancy with beautiful graphic elements. Clean layouts highlight the products, allowing them to shine and convey the brand whilst simultaneously giving prominence to Tory’s original Tory Blog content. Tory’s voice is present throughout the site, including personal messages in her own handwriting and her redesigned City Guides—a complete list of favorite places to eat, sleep and shop in all the cities where Tory Burch boutiques can be found. All of these elements combine to create a bright, refreshing visual and interactive experience.
