You know those pieces you reach for when you want your outfit to feel a little more like you? That’s the lovely thing about Momento by Market of Stars. With birds, flowers and a touch of moonlit magic, this range brings plenty of personality to getting dressed.

And behind the artwork is a message we can all use now and then: remember to live. Enjoy the little things. Wear the print you love. Don’t save everything for a special occasion.

A print with a story to tell

Look closely at Momento and you’ll find two starlings against a full moon, along with butterflies, luna moths, wheat and sparrows tucked among branches. There’s also a skull softened by flowers, a thoughtful reminder that life is fleeting and worth making the most of.

The artwork brings together original illustrations by Jessica Roux, with a banner reading Momento Vivere, “remember to live”. It takes the traditional idea of memento mori and turns our attention towards the joy, love and wonder in everyday life.

If you have a soft spot for birds and botanical details, there’s plenty here to fall for. We certainly like the idea of carrying a little of the natural world with us wherever we go.

Which Momento piece feels like you?

You don’t have to wear a print from head to toe to enjoy it. Start with a scarf, throw on a kimono or make the dress your centrepiece. Here are a few ideas to help you find your favourite.

Love a statement layer? Meet the Opera Kimono

The Momento Opera Kimono is a lovely way to give a simple outfit a lift. Made from 100% viscose, it comes with a removable belt, so you can wear it open or draw it in at the waist.

Try it over a plain top and trousers and let the artwork shine. No complicated styling required.

Prefer something shorter? Try the Pixie Kimono

The Momento Pixie Kimono brings the same beautiful story to a shorter viscose layer. We’d pair it with favourite jeans and a simple tee, or pop it over a plain dress when an outfit needs a little something extra.

Make a day of it in the Bohéme Maxi Slip Dress

The Momento Bohéme Long Maxi Slip Dress lets the print take centre stage. Add sandals for a relaxed look, or experiment with a layer over the top to make it your own.

A helpful note: the viscose is slightly sheer, so a full or half-slip is recommended. This dress is currently listed for pre-order with an October/November arrival. Check its product page for the latest details before ordering.

Keep it relaxed with the Artist Pant

The Momento Linen Cropped Artist Pant has plenty to love: a linen-viscose blend, pockets, a drawstring front and an elastic back waist panel, finished with a cropped length and lantern hem.

Our pick? A plain top and your favourite flats. An easy outfit that still feels full of character.

Just a little touch of Momento

If you’d rather start small, the Momento Scarf is a beautiful way in. Its size and weight were inspired by vintage French scarves, and it’s made from 100% viscose. Drape it over a simple outfit for a little extra colour and a story to carry with you.

There’s also a Momento Boho Linen Tote Bag in the range. Made from a linen-viscose blend, it has a soft, slouchy shape, wide shoulder straps and an interior pocket for those smaller essentials.

Don’t wait for a special occasion

Sometimes the best reason to wear something is simply that it makes you smile. A bird-filled scarf on an ordinary morning. A favourite kimono for lunch with a friend. A print that feels wonderfully you.

That’s the spirit of Momento: a little reminder to notice the good things and enjoy them now.
