so Moniomi is … Simply Suited

There is something very attractive, striking and powerful about a suit.  The most simple, clean and tailored in the right fabrics and detailing are the ones that resonate elegance, chicness, and timelessness.  This translates eloquently to architectural compositions and interiors where a very clean palette, based on black-and-white derived contrasts, and sharp lines bring a strong and polished ambiance to the space.  We take you beyond the suit as well to pieces and rooms that bring in this beautiful menswear language. Enjoy!

so Moniomi is ... Fascinating Forest

From Shakespeare’s ‘Midsummer’s Night Dream’ to the recent Christian Dior Spring couture show- there is something about the scene of an enchanted forest that is magical.  The palette is bold and dark while the textures are soft and subtle with subtle pastel colored accents; the entire combination is just dreamy.  On that note, whimsey motifs of wondrous creatures alongside sweeping flora and greenery makes us want to transport into this fascinating world... and we are taking you there!

so Moniomi is ... Chalet Chic

It's ski season and we are jetting you off to the luxe mountains where everything from the chic chalets to the aprés ski fashion is making us want to hit the slopes (in style)! Admit it, we all love when the temperatures drop and the altitudes rise to bring out the most luxe coverings, or seclude ourselves in spaces of cozy chicness.  Get bundled up this in the most luxurious mountain-inspired finishes and pieces we have curated below!

so Moniomi is ... Stellar Stars

Happy New Year! Yes, we all wait until these last days of the year to deck out in sparkle and love everything with stars and shine.  But, who says that it is only during this moments that we can partake on this stellar even cosmic vibe?  When used abstractly, an interior space can carry this atmosphere all year splendidly, especially when talking a lighting installation, a statement piece rooted in abstract cosmos rather than your typical glitter star on the 31st. Or, a gown with shimmery embroidery will definitely be a beauty in any gala any day of the year.  How about the actual motif of the star? We have seen it pop in street fashion since the summer in heels, jeans, bag patches, you name it! So, see for yourself throughout the week our curation of designs that will brightly show you what we mean!

so Moniomi is ... Intimate Intricacies 

There is a reason why we see ‘streetstyle’ stars and fashionistas carry lace garment pieces all through the seasons - it is a timeless element.  The delicate woven fabric in an open web-like pattern dates back to Italy as early as the 1400s, evolving from an earlier art form - Architecture.  One of the most ancient artistic and decorative architectural treatments was to create delicate carvings on stone and wood to gracefully decorates entire facades, to interior structures, to even the surfaces of various furniture pieces.  In the same way that that blogger on your Instagram feed paired her grandmother’s vintage lace Victorian blouse with the season’s latest leather moto jacket,  this pieces full of intricate outlines and patterns can take a fresh take on your space when paired correctly, or, newly design pieces evoke that ancient coursework bringing the past to the present in a modern way.  Oh, and this goes way beyond that chic blouse... take a look below and see for yourself!  Either way, it is a delicate grandeur!

so MONIOMI is ... Sophisticated Safari

There is something about the spirit of travel that exudes elegance, not just because the act of voyaging itself is culturally and personally enriching, but where and how you do it as well.  One place that to us gathers so many elements that are full of this so called spirit are the safaris and savannas.  These, dominated by a palette of neutral tones but in rich woods and splendid creams and beiges which emanate a soft elegance, combined with a plethora of textures such as raffia, straw, skins and manes result in a graceful playfulness.  Even the animals themselves- the giraffes, zebras, lions, amongst others, are creatures that signify poise and softness whilst making a bold impact through their patterns, textures and even structure.  Therefore, how we present ourselves and visit the destination is completely influenced by the place itself- and we are completely feeling that calm and sophisticated safari.  We will show you pieces that that bring that spirit to your dressage or spaces... enjoy!
