Monse and Oscar de la Renta to Blend Fashion Week Reveals
In an unconventional move, fashion labels, Monse and Oscar de la Renta, will unite their upcoming New York Fashion Week presentations into a single series. The brands, which are both helmed by co-creative supervisors, Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia, will every introduction their Fall 2017 collections on February 13 in the same location. The younger of the two labels, Monse, will present first before the show transitions into the Oscar de la Renta demonstration. According to the designers, there’ll be “reveal factor” between the two but no break.
The show also marks Kim and Garcia’s runway debut for Oscar de la Renta. It was declared a year ago that the group could be heading up the brand as co-creative directors following the departure of Peter Copping. Kim and Garcia had formerly worked at Oscar de la Renta prior to departing the tag to start their own brand, Monse. When it was declared that the duo could go back into Oscar de la Return, it was also disclosed that the business might invest in Monse.
In addition to producing an overarching brand image for both different labels, the single show is also meant to be more cost effective.
Breaking Fashion News! It is being noted that @monsemaison and @oscardelarenta equally under the creative direction of Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia, will show back to back in #nyfw in February. The combo of the two shows is highly unusual, however if anyone can break the mould, it is these two young designers. We can not wait to witness the occasion! #monse #oscardelarenta #fashionweek ? @dailyfrontrow | Report by @lizkramsky
