Forget flowing, forgiving fabrics and cuts this season. Although it may be spring, the Monique Lhuillier Spring 2012 collection demonstrates body-conscious designs are here to stay.
The collection starts out with a dominant cobalt blue and black theme, before branching out into white, red and yellow. With slicked-back ponytails and dramatic electric-blue eyeliner adorning each model, the Monique Lhuillier Spring 2012 collection is not to be taken lightly.
Cocktail dresses with color blocking or cutout details are highlights of the show, and manage to stay right on this season's hottest fads while looking effortlessly classic and sophisticated. Finally, in true Monique Lhuillier fashion, the ballgowns are breathtaking as always, with a simple black mermaid-style dress with layers upon layers of tulle stealing the show.
