Monét’s fashionnarrative began last fall with a standout piece—a poplin skirt layered with tulle that quickly gained traction. This garment, now known as the brand’s Little Black Skirt, laid the foundation for her debut collection.
The skirt, described as playful yet declarative, embodies the essence of Monét’s artistic vision and has become a symbol of the brand’s evolving iconography.

The collection’s launch, hosted in the converted retail space of designer Yara Flinn, featured Monét’s garments as almost sculptural elements, complementing the intimate ambiance of the event.
“A Brooklyn Love Story” comprises thirteen sustainably crafted, unisex pieces, each designed to capture the multidimensional aspects of love—from romance to self-affirmation.
Her collection features structured, tailored garments that offer fluidity and confidence. Key pieces include the Karla Top, a structured bralette inspired by vintage balconette bras and crafted from cream and black Japanese cotton or luxurious red silk, and the Kravitz Pant, a versatile trouser made from Japanese wool that combines comfort with a powerful, confident silhouette.
The collection’s color palette—jet black, off-white, and fiery red—embodies the emotional spectrum of romance, from intense passion to quiet possibility. Each garment incorporates rose motifs, symbolizing the multifaceted nature of love.
Monét’s training with renowneddesigners such as Christopher John Rogers has honed her skills in seam artistry, evident in the meticulous craftsmanship of her collection. Her work is a testament to the impact of community and personal connections, as many of her collaborators and inspirations came from her experiences in Brooklyn.
The debut collection was preceded by a digital campaign creative directed by Monét and Ondrea Wheeler, reflecting the collection’s themes of desire and relational dynamics.
Through her designs, Monét explores how love and self-acceptance can be expressed and celebrated through fashion.
