SHEIN X has revealed an exclusive collection in collaboration with the renowned luxury fashion brand MONSE. This collaboration, which was made public on July 10th, 2024, combines chic aesthetics with a significant mentorship program for independent fashion designers.
Shein, widely known for its fast-fashion prowess, is boldly stepping into a new realm of luxury by partnering with MONSE. Established in 2015 by Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia, MONSE has garnered acclaim for its innovative take on menswear deconstructed for women. The SHEIN X MONSE collection capitalizes on MONSE's avant-garde design philosophy, featuring dynamic deconstructed tailoring and asymmetrical styles that transition seamlessly from day to night.
Central to this collaboration is a mentorship initiative, where Kim and Garcia mentored five independent fashion designers: Oxana Goralczyk, Mathilde Lhomme, Jade Breyon, Aliya Brown, and KL Allen. This mentorship program is dedicated to nurturing budding talent and provides these designers with an unparalleled platform to showcase their innovative creations.
The launch event, a cozy gathering in NYC, offered an exclusive sneak peek at the collection, which boasts diverse styles including dresses, jackets, blouses, pants, and accessories. The pieces are priced between $1.70 and $64.39, making runway-worthy designs accessible to the broader SHEIN customer base.
SHEIN has donated to Dress for Success Greater New York City, an organization committed to empowering women by providing support, professional attire, and development tools to help them achieve economic independence. "We are excited to be working with SHEIN X and MONSE on this unique collaboration that allows Dress for Success Greater New York City to continue supporting women by providing them with the tools they need to thrive in the workforce," said Jennifer Wuerz, Interim Director at Dress for Success Greater New York City. "This collection not only exemplifies the fusion of high fashion and accessibility but also underscores a shared commitment to empowering women."
Laura Kim, co-creative director at MONSE, expressed her excitement about the project, "At MONSE, we are passionate about inclusivity in fashion, which is why we partnered with SHEIN X on a collection that offers an accessible price point for all," said Laura Kim. "As a supporter of Dress for Success' mission, this project has been extra rewarding because it not only celebrates creativity and diversity in fashion, but also supports a cause that is close to my heart. MONSE's collections focus on deconstructing menswear for women. We want to empower them through our designs, so they feel powerful to take on anything. We are proud to be part of a collaboration that uplifts women and emerging designers alike."
