ABOUT KMONO

KMONO began with a simple idea.

I wanted pieces that felt as good as they looked.

Not just for going out, but for everyday life. Getting dressed, staying in, layering something soft over your skin and instantly feeling more like yourself.


THE DESIGNER

Designed by D. Marie

Designing professionally since 2010

My first independent line, Birthday Suit Shop, began as a women’s swimwear collection and evolved into lingerie and ready-to-wear pieces including tees and hoodies. It was built around a simple mantra:

celebrate your body, your abilities, your life

That foundation continues to shape everything I create.

KMONO reflects a more layered approach to dressing. Soft, intentional pieces designed to move with you, feel natural on the body, and become part of your everyday life.


HOW IT’S MADE

Each piece is cut and sewn once your order is placed.

No mass production. No excess inventory.

Because of this, every garment is slightly unique and no two are exactly the same.

This slower process allows each piece to be made with intention, not volume.


THE KMONO SYSTEM

KMONO is designed as a 3-layer wardrobe system:


Foundation — soft pieces closest to the body


Layering — texture and structure


Signature — outer pieces that define your look

You can wear one, two, or all three.

There are no rules. Just options.


WHAT IT’S REALLY ABOUT

This isn’t about having more clothes.

It’s about having the right ones. Owning pieces you reach for daily, wear repeatedly, and feel like yourself in.


Soft luxury. Small batch. Designed to be lived in.


Since the beginning, KMONO has been worn by creatives, travelers, artists, muses, and everyday women expressing themselves unapologetically.
