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.

THE NEW BALENCIAGA.COM IS NOW LIVE
Over the past year Wednesday has joined forces with the House of Balenciaga under the creative direction of Nicolas Ghesquière to create the new transactional home of Balenciaga.com.
Balenciaga has been an internationally acclaimed fashion house since 1937. Cristobal Balenciaga was deemed “the master of us all” by Christian Dior and since 1997 driven by the vision and the ambition of Nicolas Ghesquière the House came back strong as a leading player on the international fashion scene.
Wednesday have been working side by side with Balenciaga to interpret these timeless and unsurpassable designs into a digital transactional home. This new website’s creative concept was conceived with the intent of showcasing the immense detail that is crafted into each and every item whilst maintaining the refined and minimalist style of the house of Balenciaga. Fundamental to this concept, Wednesday created an innovative zoom function that enables the user to to explore and discover content throughout the site in two contrasting viewpoints wherever they are, creating both a seamless shopping and immersive brand experience.
In addition to Balenciaga.com, Wednesday have been working with the Maison on a Social Media strategy which aligns the brand with the social ecosystem of the modern world. This strategy will launch alongside the new website and evolve over the forthcoming months and years.
