Monique Lhuillier

a href=”/fashionshows/designerdirectory/MONIQUE/seasons/” target=”_blank”Monique Lhuillier/a opted for the second time to do a low-key presentation instead of a full-blown show. It was a slightly muddled affair.br/br/
After last season’s dreamy ballerinas, Lhuillier was on to bolder ideas: sharply defined structure and the rich embellishment of those perennial fashion icons, the Masai of East Africa. She worked her ideas down two different paths, with full, almost New Look-esque skirts for cocktail hour on the one hand, and on the other#8212;for high evening#8212;breezily draped jersey gowns with rope belts, some dripping fringe. There wasn’t a ball gown in the bunch#8212;a Lhuillier first. (Cue Rachel Zoe and co. tearing out their hair.)br/br/
There was obviously supposed to be an organized evolution of ideas here that would flow smoothly from a sunshine-hued, fringed cocktail frock with an intricate macram#233; halter neck through sparkly tailored tweeds to an easy elegant evening. But without the benefit of a runway show, the concept got caught in a bit of a bottleneck.br/br/
Confusion aside, piece by piece there was actually much to love. A smart celeb stylist prepping for Emmy night has probably already sunk her claws into an ultrachic tiered black gown with a gold bullion neckline, or a bright yellow column with a draped bodice and high slit that was genius in its simplicity.br/#8212;Meenal Mistry
