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.
