After around eight years, Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia appear as co-creative director: inside at Oscar de la Renta. In the future, the two want to concentrate more on their own label Monse, as Garcia announced on Wednesday evening in a contribution on the Instagram platform.
“With a heavy heart, Laura and I would like to tell the world that we will end our time at Oscar de la Rentra in February and will then concentrate entirely on Monse Maison,” wrote Gracia. “We spent half of our lives to work with the incredible teams there and the loving family de la Renta. It was a decision that we made after careful consideration, and although it is sad, it is also exciting for all of us to open a new chapter next year.”
Kim and Garcia took over the creative management in 2016, two years after the founder’s death. At that time they followed Peter Copping, who now works as a creative director at Lanvin. The family -owned company Oscar de la Renta continues to be managed by CEO Alex Bolen.
The two designers say goodbye: but not inside. In the course of the handover, Kim and Garcia, who hold shares in the company, will take a seat on the board in the future. According to media reports, the workforce was already informed about the changes on Wednesday afternoon.

Focus on Monse
In the future, the focus of the two designers: on the inside is fully on their i2015 label Monse. The premium brand based in New York is known for the deconstruction of classic clothing that is based on men’s fashion. The range ranges from newly interpreted suits and shirts to long, flowing clothes that emphasize the silhouette.
It was only at the beginning of the week that Monse showed his spring/summer collection at the New York Fashion Week. The duo expanded its repertoire with leatherbustiers and workwear-inspired pieces. The show took place in the middle of works of art.
