Featured Designer: Monique Lhuillier

There's never anything outrageous or tacky about Monique Lhullier's designs. Instead, the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising alum turns out elegant dresses and sportswear that are both youthful and chic (a combination that most designers can't touch). In just 10 years, this Los Angeles-based designer has become a design force in both bridal and evening wear. Even rocker-chic Pink has succumbed to Lhuillier's particular brand of femininity, donning the designer's dress for her nuptials.
