THE style guide

Summer time, and the living is easy... and so is being fabulous and stylish. It’s the season for bright colours, floaty dresses and floral patterns galore. Go bold. Go bright. Go out!

To me, Summer means exploring, bohemian adventures celebrating colours, patterns, and the artisanal craftsmanship from our travels. All of these things are at the heart of Monsoon’s collections. This season, Monsoon are going back to their roots. Back to their origin. The new collection is filled with mood-lifting prints inspired by artisan designs from Monsoon’s heritage, made to brighten up your days and see you into Summer. The Elle dress for example - from India, made from 100% sustainable viscose, Elle was crafted in Sanjaner, Jaipur using heritage prints and layered woodblocks. Here are some of our favourites from the collection...
