Not even the queen of bridal gowns can escape the call of athleticism this year; for the Monique Lhuillier Resort 2015 collection the Los Angeles-based Filipino designer reveals that it is "a cross between sportswear and special occasion." Of course, this meshing of two worlds is highly blurred. Effortlessly elegant with a focus on loose fits and sharp lines, there is a subtle sporty look to the pieces.
Nevertheless, the Monique Lhuillier Resort 2015 collection still boasts a variety of silhouettes, lengths and materials. Overall, she makes the transition from day to night extremely easy with these designs. Granted, not everyone can pull off the day looks considering the concentration on volume. At least she mixes in some cotton fabrics here and there.
