Keeping in line with her past pre-collections, Monique Lhuillier focused her latest resort offering on versatile, mix-and-match daywear. “It’s about dressing our girl earlier in the day and making eveningwear more about separates than gowns,” she said.
In a punchy, tropical palette, Lhuillier worked colorful sequins and floral embroidery across the tops of silk twill trousers and bustier peplum tops. The collection’s cheerful spirit came through in looks featuring oversize polka dots or covered in colorful sequins, including a “confetti” long-sleeve minidress fit for the disco. As for the evening gowns, fluid, slinky silhouettes prevailed, among them a silk Champagne slipdress with a draped, knotted bodice, which pooled at the floor like liquid. Lhuillier fashioned a few dresses and jumpsuits with floor-length capes — for a touch of drama.
