It is Fall Fashion Week in NYC! You know what that means…new wedding gowns! One of our favorite designers, Monique Lhuillier, just released her Spring 2012 collection. (Click on her name above to take a peek at her gorgeous designs!)
I had the privilege of seeing Monique at the Engage 2010 conference and enjoyed learning about how she started. After graduating from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, she started her own bridal company in 1996. (She was actually shopping for her own wedding dress and felt the need to make wedding dresses more fashionable.) It was fascinating to hear how she made her samples and sold them to stores before even producing any more than just a sample!
This gown is one of my favorites. It is called “Eternity” and has an embellished tulle corset with pearl princepessa satin hand bustled trumpet skirt. It shows off your curves and still has a full skirt (because when else in your life will you wear a full skirt?)
What you we love about her gowns: She is chic and very feminine and uses fabric from French and Italian mills. Her favorite fabrics are silk chiffons, silk satins and silk charmeuses.
You can find her gowns at stores across the country like Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman.
More to come from Fall Fashion Week!
Be Chic!
