ICYMI: Several years ago, Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia met as members of the Oscar de la Renta design team, and they decided to start their own line. Monse was born in the design duo’s evenings and weekends, but then just last year Laura and Fernando were given the top jobs at Oscar—they were made co-creative directors. While they’re certainly not the first designers to hold down two jobs (think J.W. Anderson pulling double duty with Loewe), the OdlR-rooted genesis of Monse made for a special case.
All together now: fall collections from Monse and Oscar de la Renta take their finale walk. All images by Indigital Images.
It was announced this past January that the pair would show their debut collection as creative directors at Oscar along with the latest from their closely watched two-year old side-project.

Nordstrom’s senior fashion director Shannon Schafer was drawn in by the use of color and opulent fabrics in both presentations; our slideshows get you front row.
—she saw in each silhouette a bold confidence that celebrated the female form. And where the Oscar show was all about high impact shades and high shine metallics, Monse’s saturated hues in velvet, sequins and high-gloss silk could be read as a way of celebrating fall itself.
“The askew necklines, asymmetric hems and mono shoulders give opulence to the everyday,” she said.
