Monique Lhuillier History

As a child growing up in the Philippines, Monique Lhuillier recognized her passion for fashion at a young age and found inspiration in her own mom's elegant sense of style. When she moved to Los Angeles in order to study fashion and pursue her dream, Lhuillier quickly became captivated by the world of bridal and evening wear. But it wasn't until dress shopping for her own wedding in 1995 that she realized just how much of an impact she could make in the industry. The lack of timeless dresses motivated Lhuillier to create something new and she decided to fill that void for other brides searching for a sophisticated couture gown. She and her husband launched the Monique Lhuillier line in 1996 and their successful partnership continued as the pair also raised their two children while growing the beloved brand. Today, Monique Lhuillier is headquartered in California with flagship stores in Los Angeles and New York City.

As interest in her fresh designs expanded, Lhuillier opened her first retail store in 2001 in Beverly Hills. She also ventured outside of all things bridal with colorful evening gowns that lead to her first ready-to-wear collection in 2003. Since then, she's also brought color to her Monique Lhuillier 2020 collections with gowns that are infused with soft tones that feel organic.

Monique Lhuillier Fun Facts

Part of the reason she first branched out of bridal was because she was burned out and tired of working with just white and ivory.

Despite countless celebrities stunning in her gowns, the one A-lister she hasn't worked with yet but would love to is Nicole Kidman.
