Monique van Heist
Certain characteristics like Monique van Heist’s down to earth and humoristic attitude, her masculine or unisex design approach and weariness for everything too fashion makes the label ‘moniquevanheist’ all the more attractive for a certain in-the-know audience. Even the most banal events involving our daily wear and tear are a serious inspiration for Monique van Heist, and together with the fun astray alter ego’s she explores for every collection, it comes as no surprise that her collections are most of all highly wearable. Like an academic she examines her classic wardrobe fits and cuts to perfection, inventing clever and funny details, as well as smart accessories and bags. The result is a mature label that leans heavily on the most glamour-starved dress culture of the masses, just to stand out on the most contemporary fashion brinks for it’s timeless design quality.
Since Monique started her label in 2004, she’s gathered a loyal following of fans, selling in 6 stores spread over Holland and Belgium. For 2009 she’s planning a collection of moniquevanheist classics to challenge the fashion system’s short attention span.
