MONIQUE LHUILLIER: Spring NYFW 2011--uniquely MONIQUE

The collection presented femininity draped in lush classicism. With her unique subtext of delicate details, simple harmonies and rich textural formats, MONIQUE LHUILLIER has come to epitomise refinement and luxury in fashion, and making marks in Hollywood's red-carpet dressing.

                                                          La Monique
Lhuillier brings together a fine commercial sensibility with a genuine feel for fashion. Emphasising the luxurious and the sensuous, Monique defines the eternal feminine in essence rather than in superfluous forms. The rich, sophisticated colour palatte for women who love to party, labels its refinement in bold letters.

Monique Lhuillier delivers, glamorous evening pieces that will delight her customers on the party circuits.Lots of choices, like her hand painted organza in sabrina neckline , metallic or silk-draped sheaths, flared dresses in white, all made to sizzle and excite ladies' night out.

And the more flamboyant gowns, poufed and appliquéd chiffons with pleated or ruched bustiers in very sensuous detailing.

LHIELLIER's snake print dresses added the temptation to La Monique's Garden of Eden, amidst the blooms of red organzas dashed with sequins, hand painted magnolias paired with red pants and origami flowers in delicate embellishments.

Monique Lhuillier will always be the magic, the ultimate dream of women who love to be princesses of the evening.. Lhuillier does best, uniquely Monique.
