Monse

Launched in 2016, NYC label Monse skyrocketed to fashion-darling status almost overnight. The brand’s success is owed wholly to founders Laura Kim and Fernardo Garcia, who have a knack for turning classic essentials on their heads. The duo, who pull double duty as co-creative directors of Oscar de la Renta, offer up specialties like deconstructed white button-downs, asymmetrical shirtdresses, and oversized belts—standouts that feel at once familiar and delightfully unpredictable.
