Monse Spring/Summer 2027: Tulips, Deconstruction and a Return to the Runway
Monse staged a return to New York Fashion Week in September 2026 for Spring/Summer 2027, following Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia’s departure from Oscar de la Renta. The designers chose a light-filled glass dome above the former Domino Sugar factory, matching an emphatic runway comeback with a collection about botanical disorder.
Collection and Creative Direction
Tulips became the season’s recurring reference. Their colour, asymmetry and slightly unruly form informed prints, embroidered surfaces and more literal floral effects. A special green-and-pink fabric was manipulated to reveal its reverse side, while fringe added kinetic movement to tailoring and shirting. The collection returned to Monse’s ability to deconstruct familiar garments without surrendering an occasionwear sensibility.
The Presentation
A choir singing Like a Prayer and the bright architecture of the converted industrial building gave the presentation an operatic atmosphere. The space worked against the fragility of sheer organza and floral details, producing an interesting tension between architectural scale and intimate making.
Why It Matters
The return mattered because Monse’s independent design identity could again be evaluated on its own runway. Kim and Garcia demonstrated that the label’s strongest ideas still come from using dressmaking techniques to unsettle conventional expectations of how garments should be worn.
