Elisa (21y/o) shop assistant and assistant buyer at Monar&Clothes, Monar Antwerp and our store model. “My favourite piece for September is definitly the Kenzo sweater I am wearing because it’s strong but still comfortable. My professional highlight this summer was the fashion fair in Copenhagen (CIFF) because of it’s promising brands and silhouettes for SS16. Although I prefer Fall over any other season. That’s why I can’t wait till it gets colder so I can put on my favorite cashmere sweater from Samsoe& Samsoe.“

I always had an interest in guys’ clothes. Growing up, I wouldn't be caught dead in a dress. Somewhere down the line, the likes of MM6 and my new-found love for Samsoe & Samsoe have altered this a bit. But it all started with rocking Nikes & tracksuits to school. Following those years, the interest soon blossomed into a genuine enthusiasm for the garments, and the respective brands and designers responsible for them. Now, I’m 100 percent as likely to cop a dude’s T-shirt as I am to check through the women’s section. Women like Rita Ora, (who now frequently collaborates with Adidas) and Vashtie, (responsible for giving Puma that cool kid factor)

and Rihanna, (also set to release a collection with Puma for SS16) have also adopted tomboy styles, styles I identity with and take inspiration from on a daily basis. Don’t get me wrong: women's clothes are definitely enjoyable to look at, and there are beautiful pieces coming in every week I'd die to adopt from the shop into my closet. But, frankly, I'm spoiled. And I love to have options. So the moral of the story? I'm always willing to compromise. I might invest in that cute new Tim Van Steenbergen skirt we just got in. But I'm sure as hell rocking that Kenzo crewneck on top. By Gladys Ferro, shop assistant
