I was so happy to see again one of my favorite shows every season, Monique Lhuillier’s Spring 2016.
Grew up in Cebu City, Monique Lhuillier is a fashion designer most prominently known for bridal wear. She owns a couture fashion house based in Los Angeles, California, as well as another store on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Lhuillier has become especially known for her celebrity wedding and red carpet gowns. Her list of clientele includes Gwyneth Paltrow, Reese Witherspoon, Kristen Stewart, Hilary Swank, Jennifer Lopez, Taylor Swift, Ginnifer Goodwin, and Katy Perry.
The Spring 2016 collection shown was a combination of everyday wearable day to stunning evening looks.
Pieces that stood out to me included a intricately cutout top paired with a red pleated leather skirt and a beautiful chiffon gown in colorful abstract floral print that looked like a dreamy sugary confection.
A pleated halter gown in fuschia pink with a crystal embellished collar was another show stopper.
Monique’s attention to detail and vision makes her shows a treat to watch.
