Laura Kim And Fernando Garcia Launch Monse Menswear

Monse creative directors Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia unveiled their first ever range of menswear at the brand’s spring 2019 runway show in Midtown Manhattan this evening. The duo applied their signature diagonal cuts, reworked shirting, and penchant for deconstruction to suiting, polos, knits, and denim separates. The collection’s dominating themes were twisting nautical ropes (as patterns, belt loop tassels, and sandal straps), anchor chains (also seen as dress straps and belts), and Breton stripes. Raffia flat-form sandals and chunky cable-knit bags added to the collection’s beachy vibes. See more at Paper.
