Moncler, Mr. Moncler, Hong Kong, Black Vinyl Figure
Craig Costello partnered with Moncler for DESTINATION HONG KONG, an art performance celebrating the opening of their new flagship store at Harbour City in Hong Kong in 2017. More than 10,000 Mr. Moncler figures, the brand’s ambassador, were positioned throughout the cities landmarks and available for the public to collect. This collaborative release included 350 exclusive figures, each hand-painted with Krink, signed and numbered. The painted edition was released in select locations along with a custom, co-branded silver K-75 Paint Marker.
On offer is a significantly rarer and very special All-Black Version, which was never displayed as part of the public art exhibition or offered for public sale.
Executed in 2017, this work is an unnumbered limited edition. We believe less than 20 (sources indicate 16pcs only) All Black examples were ever produced.
Designers: Craig Costello.
Producer: Moncler.
Manufactured: N/A.
Design Year: 2017.
Production Year: 2017.

About Moncler.
The Moncler brand was born in 1952 in Monestier-de-Clermont, a small village in the mountains near Grenoble, with a focus on sports clothing for the mountain. Moncler pursues a philosophy aimed at creating products that are unique, of the highest quality, versatile and constantly evolving while always remaining true to the Brand’s DNA guided by the motto “born in the mountains, living in the city”. Tradition, uniqueness, quality, consistency and energy have always been the distinctive features of the Moncler brand that over the years has been able to evolve while remaining consistent with its DNA, heritage and identity, in a continuous search for an open dialogue with its many consumers in the world. It is from this constant research that in 2018 a new project was born, Moncler Genius – One House, Different Voices: a hub for creative minds able to reinterpret the Moncler brand, always consistent with its history and its DNA, adopting a new way of doing business.
About the Artist
Craig Costello, also known as KR, is a New York City based artist whose interdisciplinary practice encompasses painting, site-specific installations, and photography. As a creative director, he shapes all visual and conceptual ideas for his artistic endeavors and company, Krink, an artist materials brand and creative studio.
Experimentation and innovation are the cornerstones of Costello’s approach. He pushes the boundaries of traditional art by repurposing and modifying unexpected objects, such as fire extinguishers, garden sprayers, and shoe polish bottles. These unconventional tools have become extensions of his hand, enabling him to manipulate his medium and create unique marks of varying scales and degrees of control.
Costello has exhibited in renowned galleries and museums worldwide, including Palais De Tokyo, V1, Deitch Projects, and the Museum of Contemporary Art. His installations have made an impact in cities like Tokyo, Paris, Seoul, Rome, and London. He has also collaborated with creatives and well-known brands such as Nike, Tiffany & Co, Virgil Abloh, and Tommy Hilfiger.
