SHEIN X MONSE Champions Women's Empowerment
and The Power of Fashion as a Tool for Positive Change Through
Partnership with Dress for Success Greater New York City
LOS ANGELES, July 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- SHEIN X, the
program under the global fashion and lifestyle online retailer
SHEIN to support independent artists and designers, announces its
newest collaboration with luxury fashion label MONSE. Introduced
last evening at an intimate gathering in NYC, attendees had the
chance to preview the SHEIN X MONSE Collection created by
designers Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia. Through this partnership, Kim
and Garcia have mentored five independent fashion designers, who
are long-term collaborators with SHEIN X, to co-design and release
the collection. The collaboration will also support Dress for
Success Greater New York City, which is dedicated to empowering
women to achieve economic independence by providing a network of
support, development tools, and professional attire to help them
thrive in work and in life.

Founded in 2015 by Kim and Garcia, who also serve as co-creative
directors at Oscar de la Renta, MONSE is known for its innovative
approach to fashion that shines through the collection in the
deconstructed tailoring and asymmetry for edgy looks that easily go
from day to night. Working together, the SHEIN X and MONSE teams
have created pieces that fuse SHEIN's on-trend aesthetic with
MONSE's iconic design ethos, adding a designer touch to all-day,
everyday styles. This collection also includes styles from five
independent designers created under the guidance of Kim and Garcia:
Oxana Goralczyk (FRA), Jade
Breyon (USA), Mathilde Lhomme (FRA), Aliya Brown (USA), and KL Allen (USA). Kim and Garcia handpicked and mentored
the designers based on their submitted design proposals and passion
for their craft. Together with these designers, Kim and Garcia
created a wardrobe that delivers runway-level design and quality to
SHEIN shoppers - without the luxury price tag.
"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, co-creative director at MONSE. "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."
As part of the collaboration, SHEIN also made a donation to
Dress for Success Greater New York City.
The funds will support the expansion of Dress for Success
Greater New York City's operations, which in turn will be used to
support programs and services to help women thrive in work and in
life, such as its in-person styling sessions that serve as a
valuable investment for women seeking to enhance their professional
image, boost their confidence, and optimize their wardrobe for
career success.
"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."
The SHEIN X MONSE collection includes styles in a wide variety
of sizes and pieces, including dresses, jackets, blouses, pants,
and accessories. All collection items are available now and
priced between $1.70 and $64.39. SHEIN X is calling on
