The Journey
From Childhood Dream to Fashion Brand
Monshell’s passion for fashion started in North Philadelphia, where her mother taught her to hand-sew clothes for dolls. Her creativity blossomed when she received her first sewing machine from her grandmother in high school. This self-taught skill led to creating colorful custom pieces during her undergraduate studies, many of which were featured in fashion shows for charity. Monshell’s love for creating evolved alongside her career in education, and her dream came true when she launched her own fashion brand, blending her love for helping others with her passion for design.
Craftsmanship & Culture
Where Tradition Meets Innovation
Monshell Latisé’s designs are a reflection of heritage and artistry. Each piece is carefully crafted with hand-stitched details, rare fabrics, and innovative cuts. Drawing inspiration from the vibrant cultures of Native American, Mexican, and African roots, Monshell creates timeless statement pieces that celebrate the bold, colorful, and diverse beauty of womanhood. Our blazers, vests, and accessories are made to be both versatile and enduring, blending cultural richness with modern fashion.
SYMBOLISM & HERITAGE
The Meaning of the Feather
In Native American culture it is believed that all things possess an inherent virtue, power, and wisdom. The feather, for example, is a powerful symbol that signifies honor and a connection between the owner, the Creator, and the bird from which the feather came. It symbolizes trust, honor, strength, wisdom, power, and freedom. It is an object that is deeply revered and a sign of high honor.
Native American warriors were awarded a feather when they won a battle or were particularly brave in war. When a feather falls to the earth, it is believed to carry all of the bird's energy, and it is perceived as a gift from the sky, the sea, and the trees. Feathers may arrive unexpectedly but not without a purpose.
