Monique Lhuillier

Philippines-born Lhuillier has always been fascinated by fashion, by the effect and awe it can produce, by the nitty gritty technology that goes into quality craftsmanship and by the sheer beauty that can be crafted from fine materials and intricate embellishments. Renowned for her ready to wear collections and especially her sumptuous occasion wear and her impossibly lovely bridal range, this label is the goto brand for wearable couture. Watch out for heavy, silk brocade, embroidered lace tulle and form fitting velvet.
