Creative Director and Designer
Within the past 10 years, L*Space Creative Director and Designer Monica Wise has emerged as a leading designer of sleek, cutting-edge swimwear. Having launched L*Space in 1997, Monica's trend-setting suits appeal to a broad range of loyal fans including celebrities such as Jessica Alba, Cameron Diaz, Lauren Conrad and Lindsay Lohan, surf enthusiasts and dedicated fashion followers.
Drawing inspiration from her lifetime love affair with the coastal scenes of her native Florida and her present So. Cal residence, Monica's career has been uniquely focused on her savvy swim creations. Her talent and passion is well recognized as she continually earns top honors for her progressive approach to both design and marketing, most recently receiving the esteemed pleasure of being selected as the featured designer for the Mercedes-Benz Swim Fashion Week in Miami and awarded the Surf Industry Manufacturing Association (SIMA) Award for ‘Brand of the Year’ for three years running, and ‘Marketing Campaign of the Year’ in 2009.
At its core, L*Space is beach-chic personified. Featuring the highest quality fabrics, innovative hardware accents, and sophisticated novelty prints, Monica invites wearers to develop their own personal style by offering a wide array of mix-and-match options and fits. A true visionary in the swimwear market, she designs each piece around her love for jewelry that set her suits apart with sophisticated distinction. Dramatic fine gold and silver chain hardware, trendy fringe, rouching, and ruffles, streamlined silhouette, and body-conscious constructions have all played essential roles in L*Space's massive appeal. Most recently, Monica introduces "green" fabrications into the L*Space collection and joins forces with the philanthropic Omni Peace foundation proving that (fashion can save lives.)
With further plans to expand the L*Space experience including accessories and apparel, Monica will continue to reign as the foremost designer of luxury swimwear for every mood and occasion and continue to make the world a more beautiful space.
