Inspired by midcentury couture techniques, Monique Lhuillier focused on draping and fabric manipulation in her mostly black, white, and red Cruise collection. Standouts included a scarlet asymmetric-hemmed cocktail dress with a laser-cut rosette detail and a navy off-the-shoulder gown with cascading chiffon panels. You won t find any separates here—Lhuillier wisely stuck to eveningwear this season, choosing to focus on the pieces (read: special-occasion dresses) her customers look to her for.
