Monique Lhuillier - Dreaming of Fashion and Glamour - Beau Livre

Monique Lhuillier's debut book celebrates romance, femininity and unparalleled glamour. From enthralling bridal gowns to red-carpet splendor, Monique Lhuillier has influenced women worldwide as one of fashion's foremost designers. Celebrated fashion designer Monique Lhuillier began her journey designing custom bridal gowns in Los Angeles. The newlywed and her husband, Toni Bugbee, established her namesake brand and company in 1996.
Always with her eye on fashion, Lhuillier expanded into ready-to-wear in 2002 and set the stage for glamourous red-carpet dressing. In the years to come, the brand expanded into footwear and accessories followed by fragrance, lingerie, fine jewelry, and home décor evolving Monique Lhuillier into a global luxury lifestyle brand. Inspired by her mother's elegance and keen sense of style, Lhuillier knew her calling as a child.
This influence, combined with her father's work ethic, crystallized her future as a designer. Over 25 years ago, she and husband Tom Bugbee turned her dream into a reality. It is Lhuillier's trademark feminine aesthetic that continues to define the brand—always adding a touch of glamour and whimsy to her work. This debut volume captures the celebratory nature of the brand. The designer takes us through page after page of stunning gowns and ready-to-wear against backdrops of dreamlike locations inspired by Lhuillier's love of travel and interior design.
