\n\tFor spring 2026, Monse staged its runway show at Uovo, the art and fashion storage facility located in Long Island City that preserves the brand\u2019s archives dating back to its debut collection. In marking the brand\u2019s 10th anniversary, founders Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia chose the venue as both a celebration and reflection on a decade of work. <\/p>\n
\n\tWhile discussing the inspiration for this season, Garcia explained that, \u201cIt\u2019s not about repeating the past, it\u2019s about reinventing the future.\u201d While there were talks about whether to incorporate archival pieces into the show, it was ultimately decided to expand upon the \u201cMonse-isms\u201d of the brand and deliver pieces that felt fresh.<\/p>\n
\n\tLike the bandana print, a hallmark of Monse, offered in new versions, colors and silhouettes, one standout being a pair of wide-leg trousers draped at the waist. Or the selection of deconstructed shirting, assembled into an asymmetrical dress to a blouse to a bralette.<\/p>\n
\n\tWhen asked how they find new ways to approach their designs, Kim exclaimed, \u201cWe love cutting up s\u2013t,\u201d referring to the numerous experimentations and testing that goes into constructing each piece and giving it their stamp of approval. It comes as no surprise, given that\u2019s how the duo began their label \u2014 taking apart all of Garcia\u2019s shirts from his closet \u2014\u00a0and continue that process in exploring and refining their core offering.<\/p>\n
\n\tThis cutting effect doesn\u2019t apply just to clothes, however. Bags were given a similar treatment, with a flap purposely hanging loose from its seam, from an otherwise structured bag. <\/p>\n
