Designer Spotlight - Monique Lhuillier

Now that it is New York Fashion Week, the craziness in BCBG Max Azria's Global Headquarters have calmed down for a little bit. All the craziness obviously moved to New York. Not to say that there's plenty of downtime - because really, there never is downtime in fashion!

I've caught up a little bit with NYFW. With midterms rolling around the corner and papers being due literally every other day, I'm surprised I even found at least some time to keep up with some of my favorite designers' Fall 2011 collection.

Enter Monique Lhuillier.

Hailing from my home country, the Philippines, Monique started out in the fashion industry back in 1996. She initially started out with designing bridal gowns and eventually, her line expanded from there. Her Fall 2011 collection is my favorite collection of her thus far. My jaw literally dropped as I was browsing through the beauty of her creation! "Fall is all about sensuality," Monique said prior to her runway show. All those silk organza, dark cheetah prints, bedecked ribbons, sheer lace, chiffon A-line dresses. plus the tied ankle heels..Oh. My God. Tres chic! Just see for yourself!

Doesn't Monique resemble Kate Beckinsale?

 Additionally, the variety in her collection is undeniably evident. Some pieces are suitable for editorials, parties, red carpet and haute couture. I predict her creations will be worn in the coming high profile red carpet events. I can already picture A-lists stylists, Rachel Zoe particularly, going ba-na-nas on this collection!

Coming up, Herver Leger's Fall 2010 Collection highlights!
