Taking on Two Houses for New York Fashion Week

During New York Fashion Week, some creative directors barely have enough time to finish just one collection. But if you’re Laura Kim (@tokibunbun) and Fernando Garcia (@fernandogarciam1205), co-creative directors of Monse (@monsemaison) and Oscar de la Renta (@oscardelarenta), you have two entire collections to perfect. “There are days when I wish my week was 10 days and not seven,” says Laura, “but most of the time I enjoy doing such a different collection for each house. It helps me not get bored or overdevelop.”

Laura and Fernando first met at Oscar de la Renta, and quickly discovered their similar drive and passion for work. “It was a perfect match from day 1,” says Fernando. Despite the amount of work and responsibility, the pair’s friendship and love for what they do gets them through the long working days and nights. “It’s fun. You get to be like an actor, playing two different characters every day,” says Fernando. “It’s very satisfying to allow your mind to have outlets like these. Nothing is ever held back.”
