The Brand Effect with Fernando Garcia, Creative Director of Oscar de la Renta

​For our next installment of The Brand Effect, we’re bringing together two powerhouses in fashion and culture for an exclusive conversation on creativity, brand-building, and the art of standing out.

​Fernando Garcia, Co-Founder of Monse and former Principal Designer at Oscar de la Renta, has redefined modern luxury with his innovative approach to fashion. From sketching on napkins as a child to studying architecture at Notre Dame, his creative journey led him to New York, where he played a pivotal role in shaping some of Oscar de la Renta’s most iconic designs. Now, as the visionary behind Monse, he continues to push boundaries in the industry.

​Guiding the conversation is none other than Aris Yeager, the mastermind behind the viral "Snobby Rich European Kid" persona, with over 3 million followers across platforms. Known for blending humor with sharp social commentary, Aris brings his signature wit and insight to the stage as our moderator for the evening.

​Expect a deep dive into the evolution of fashion, the creative process, and what it takes to build a brand with lasting impact. Whether you're in fashion, design, or simply fascinated by the intersection of art, business, and culture, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
