About the brand
Monique Lhuillier launched her eponymous fashion brand in 1996 after being disappointed with wedding dress options for her own wedding. Born in Cebu City, Philippines, the designer started her company in Los Angeles as a family-run business with her husband Tom serving as CEO. What began as a bridal line quickly expanded into a lifestyle empire encompassing eveningwear, ready-to-wear, accessories, and home furnishings. The brand is renowned for its sophisticated designs that blend traditional elegance with contemporary flair, featuring luxurious fabrics like silk, lace, and organza with intricate hand-embroidered embellishments and delicate beadwork. Lhuillier has built a strong celebrity following, dressing A-listers for red carpet events and high-profile weddings, including Britney Spears and First Lady Michelle Obama. The brand operates three collections: the main runway collection, Bliss (a more accessible diffusion line), and Bridesmaids, with flagship stores in Los Angeles and New York City.
