OSCAR DE LA RENTA has appointed Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia – the design duo behind label Monse – as co-creative directors.
The pair are no strangers to the label – Kim worked there from 2003, and left as design director, while Garcia joined in 2009 and left as a senior designer. The duo both departed in 2015 to found Monse and presented their debut collection for spring/summer 2016.
“We are beyond thrilled to go back to the house where we learned the fundamentals of fashion from Oscar and the business of fashion from Alex. Having further learned so much this past year with Monse, we will apply all of those lessons to expand the vision that this amazing house has already established,” Kim and Garcia said via a statement announcing their appointment.
