NEW YORK, Sep 13, 2004/ FW/ --- With California Dreamin’ as the opening music, Monique Lhuillier alluded to the luxurious carefree lifestyle of the California woman.

With Bermuda shorts and gold glitter cami as a touch of 70's shimmer, modern leisure suits and safari chic in crisp linens, the West Coast designer proposed chic casual looks for daywear.

Lemon, champagne, pink, jade, teal, sage and dusty rose are colors of choice giving the feeling of sweetness and daintiness, LA style.

Gowns are intricately executed with Chantilly lace insets, plunging V embroidered net and bias cut with stone neckline.

Better known for her bridal designs and considered in some circles as the future Queen of Bridal Gowns, Monique Lhuillier showed that she could do casual looks with the same aplomb as her formal wedding dresses.

Translating her bridal gown detailing to everyday wear, Monique Lhuillier’s fans find it engaging and attractive.

With her mastery of tailoring skills, Monique Lhuillier might as well find herself the next Queen of Los Angeles fashion.
