About Laura Kim

Laura Kim is the Co-Creative Director of Oscar de la Renta and the founder and Co-Creative Director of MONSE. Kim was born in South Korea and showed a keen interest in fashion from a young age where she learned to sketch and sew from her grandparents who made cloth. After growing up in Canada, Kim moved to New York at age 18 to attend the Pratt Institute. During her studies, Laura interned with Donna Karan and Oscar de la Renta. Upon graduation, Oscar de la Renta offered her a position in his studio, and she became Oscar’s design director at the age of 25. Laura worked for Oscar for 12 years until his passing, during which time she honed her skills and gained invaluable experience in the industry. After Oscar's passing, Laura and her business partner, Fernando Garcia, started their own brand, MONSE. Within two years of launching Monse, they were asked to become the creative directors of Oscar de la Renta. Today, Laura and Fernando run both brands with their unique vision of design, texture, and color.
