MONSE - New York in lines

White background at the intersection of Walker St. and Broadway. The flashes are crackling and attracting all eyes. A customary effervescence in New York, a day almost like any other, except that Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia present their Resort 2018 collection.

The cars stop while the model is being worked on. In the middle of a lane under construction parade different silhouettes representing the DNA Monse. Here a top lacerated at the level of the shoulders, there a male suit diverted, reinterpreted. Lines to the mile, pure, straight, broken, like the local cartography, and sharp angles, to better accentuate a feminine player and determined, so modern.

Monse opens with this white background a parenthesis in the middle of the city that never sleeps, as a space of play, expression and freedom, where the duo invites the countryside to more urban moods, through a series of dresses with floral patterns. A great first for Monse who had accustomed us to abstract patterns, made of dots and lines, again and again, horizontal, vertical, and even both at the same time.

Lines that cross to form the checks of a Prince of Wales pattern, for example, as for this reinterpreted men's suit, transformed into a pencil dress, and a skirt thanks to a clever system of zips. Zips that can also be found on a shearling jacket or a leather skirt, at the shoulders, wrists, waist, thus giving the body the opportunity to express a most subtle sensuality, eminently cerebral and joyful, because even if the summer is not yet here, it is up to you to imagine it.
