Lu for You

Hello Dear Momo Friends,

As you know, we at Momo love to support local designers. Our latest addition is Jenny Fort, creative mastermind behind Lu clothing.

Like many designers, Jenny started Lu when she wasn’t able to find exactly what she was looking for in the general retail world. What was Jenny on the hunt for? Simple, modern clothes in elegant colors. Comfort. Ease. Sophisticated backdrops for accessories.

Momo’s current collection of Lu showcases these ideals. Dresses, tops and pants all display an understated Japanese sensibility – structured without being unduly formal, avant-garde without the over-the-top drama of a Parisian fashion show.

Without further ado: this is Lu.

Professional yet playful Bottom No. 2 shorts.  

Shorts in action!

We love the silhouette of Dress No. 6

Dress No. 2 is a twist on the classic A-Line, plus pockets. 

Check out the squared-off asymmetrical hem on Top No. 3.

To all of our Lovely Momo Ladies: save the date ... Wednesday April 23rd from 5 – 7 Momo will be hosting a Momo Girl Power Hour with Pearlesque + Lu. Stay tuned for more info!

Fall Fashion for Les Hommes At Momo

Momo was lucky enough to be one of the boutiques invited to participate in the Downtown Seattle Rocks the Runway show last Wednesday at Pacific Place. We love being able to see what our fellow shopkeepers are offering and what designs we can expect to see gracing Seattle’s lovely streets. For our part, Momo showcased a number of our latest fall fashions, including:

This handsome model is sporting our iconic Saint James “Meridien II” in Navy/Caramel and the “Portobello” waxed cotton jacket by Rodd & Gunn. He’s topped of with a wool pub cap made by New York Hat Co. and an AU waxed canvas tote.

This sharp gent wore jeans by local designer Tarboo, as well as Tarboo’s “Explorer’ shirt with a Pendleton zip-front jacket. Accentuating this ensemble is a New York Hat Co. canvas hat and Vivi scarf. That’s just a small sample of the new fall season men’s clothing that’s been pouring in. Here are a few more things you can find at Momo:

Lightweight yet wind-resistant jacket by Bench is great for blustery days. 

This lightweight olive green jacket (from UK company Bench) has been paired with a button-up shirt from New York designer Matteo Gottardi’s W.R.K.

These colors are perfect for a Seattle autumn day.

7 Diamonds “Premium” shirt sports a versatile small checkered pattern in slate and earth tones.

Layering season is upon us, and Momo has clothing to keep you feeling good and looking even better.  Stop by, say “hi” and get yourself geared up for fall.
