"Like many of her peers, Monique Lhuillier is
rethinking the way she presents her collections. She opted out of a Fall
’17 runway show in favor of a dynamic lookbook, which better highlights
the lineup’s rich embroideries and textures. Sometimes those details
don’t resonate in a runway photo, which shows just one angle.
Decadence
was a word Lhuillier threw around a lot during the shoot, and it fit
this collection. In fact, it may have been her most indulgent one to
date; embellishments have always been a Lhuillier specialty, but here,
they were literally piled on. Tulle gowns were studded with gems, while a
few sheer minidresses were covered in sparkling confetti. It was as if
her team had tossed buckets of sequins on the models just before they
took the picture. Separates are a growing
category for Lhuillier, and the velvet jackets, gold sequined boleros,
and puff-sleeved bodysuits were highlights. Each could be worn to a
black-tie gala or with vintage jeans, and that’s crucial these days.
It’s how the designer will attract new customers who aren’t necessarily
into cocktail dresses or ball gowns; many young women don’t need those
things (at least not yet) and they tend to dress more casually." - vogue.com
