*tbt: SS15 Major Moment; Monique Lhuillier
You know a collection will be great when a designer is so passionately inspired by something.
And for this season, Lhuillier was inspired by a recent trip to the Bahamas!
Anyone who has been to these majestic islands should know just how idyllic these waters are; when I made my trip, the ocean was so clear I thought I was swimming in bottled water!
Lhuillier explains, “When the sun rose over the ocean, the sky turned beautiful shades of blush and lavender, and there was this reflective quality to the water,” she explained. “I wanted to instill that sparkle in every piece.”
And that she did!
Using floral motifs, a common Spring trend, the designer incorporated reflective neoprene fabrics into her separates for that lustrous island sheen she sought to convey.
A wardrobe fit for a cocktail party on a cruise, this was not just a beautiful, but memorable collection for NYFWSS15.
See the rest of the collection here.
Enjoy!
