Trust Rescu. to bring you the latest hip online shopping location – and it hails, not from France or America, but from Scandinavian climes…
The newest shop on RESCU’s radar isn’t American, or even European.
It’s Scandinavian, and it’s taken the shopping world by storm so totally that many celebrities are now wearing its designs.
Monki is based across Denmark, Finland, Sweden and the Netherlands, but is gradually creeping into the United Kingdom and might soon have a foothold in America and Australia.
So what’s it all about?
Scandi-cool, as the fashion press are calling it, is the new big thing. Think oversized proportions, clean lines, interesting cuts and not too much detail – just enough to lure the eye.
Monki specialises in solid, never-let-you-down pieces at the cutting edge of trends.
For spring, Monki’s range of crisp floral skinny pants and on-trend playsuits – perfect for festivals – are affordable must-buys. Pair with a clashing floral-print jacket and you’re Vogue-worthy.
They’re also a good place for jeans-buying online – and keep in mind that the palette of spring is colourful, with yellows, mint greens and blues seen all over the catwalks.
Monki is also a great predictor of the trends we’ll see for winter in Australia next year. Their current winter ideas? Huge cloak-like jackets, owl-print wool knitted gloves, knee-high willow-print socks and gloriously soft warm jumpers in muted colours.
The scene is inner-city with a dash of whimsy – check out their jewellery range for outlandish pieces in wood and plastic, and their divine leather bags and wallets.
They’re the right mix of thinking outside the box and contemporary trends, and they ship to Australia – so what are you waiting for?
