FULL NAMES: Mona Kowalska
ORIGIN: Warsaw, Poland
ORIGIN: Warsaw, Poland
FIRST COLLECTION: NYC, 2008
OVERVIEW: The meaning of A Détacher is to be detached, and I could not have found a better way to describe Mona Kowalska’s designs, not in the cold, foreign sense of the word, but rather in a true and faithful sense. She doesn't seem to be phased too much by the pressure of Trend setting. She started a boutique in Nolita in 2008 and it has been a quiet success since then. Her signature? Bold prints.

LATEST: Her S/S 2011 collection. Although I have chosen to focus on her collection for Fall 2010. Her source of inspiration -character “Lady Redneck” is indicative of her collection. The ladylike elements can be seen in the strong prints which are flirty and pretty. She incorporates lace, ruffles and cheeky preppy dresses. The Redneck element is divulged by the oversized jackets and dresses in all their wool, crochet and palid majesty.
LOVE OR LIKE: I’m going to say that I like her collections, I adore the bold prints and I do enjoy a preppy disposition from time to time, but Mona Kowalska creates pieces for the more conservative fashionista, and I am yet to be able to appreciate her for all she deserves.
