Monse Fall 2025 Ready-to-Wear

The Monse show took place at the Soho Grand, which also provided the inspiration—the idea of a staycation in a hotel. The collection opened with a couple of pajama-inspired looks, the first a polka-dotted shirtdress worn underneath a Monse take on the classic bellhop burgundy jacket and a knitted trompe l’oeil pajama onesie, before it devolved into other easy separates. A brown and pink floral jacquard skirt with two patch pockets in the front was flirty and fun, and silk polka dot separates were interspersed with the MONSE letters throughout. On one pajama set, the collar was doubled and draped over the shoulder for an interesting effect, while trousers had doubled-up waistbands, one an elastic drawstring, the other a standard version.

Knit jacquards, meanwhile, had an aprés ski vibe; oversized fleece coats and embellished velvet separates kept things cozy and elegant. For their eveningwear, the designers envisioned a woman just wrapping herself in a towel or a blanket and heading out the door—a terry bandeau top cleverly played on this idea, though gowns that followed it clearly elevated the concept. An allover translucent sequin dress was meant to represent the “getting out of the shower wet” motif—there was certainly not a wet blanket in sight. “This season there’s a softer evolution of the brand’s DNA,” said Fernando Garcia backstage before the show began. “While it can be tricky to do a collection that is themed, the clothes are very wearable.”
