New York Fashion Week :: Monique L'Huillier [The ZOO]

Monique L'Huillier :: Spring Summer 2006

Think Jackie O and you've got a pretty good idea of the vibe of Monique L'Huillier's
Spring 2005 collection. Tone on tone brocades, corset dresses with netting, suits with cropped sleeves and shift dresses, all resonated this idea. There was one look that verged on a more original theme of a multi layered balloon skirt coupled with a sleeveless lace top was a nice diversion from this mainly retro inspired collection.

Makeup was clean and uncomplicated with a bright ivory on brow, pale face, glossy lip and full lashes. The hair was messily pulled back in a tight bun to show of the freshness of the face. The highlight for me was the white billowy dress with strappy fitted bodice and tiered skirt. It was lovely and girly in an unadorned sort of way. Overall, I thought, Ms. L'Huillier played it safe and didn't stretch her wings much but the highlights were strong enough to carry the show. [Kelley Quan]
