I really didn't want to like the collection. Not only because we were so tired and hungry, but also because, as an ex-shop owner, I was over the hype. I mean, how awesome could they be?? Didn't they all look the same? Enough already with the Monique Lhuillier!
Well, I stand somewhat corrected. They were pretty fierce. Each gown was like phyllo dough. Really good phyllo, like my Nena makes - each layer buttery, crisp, and distinct from the others. The three dimensional quality of each gown was pretty outstanding. Layers and layers of stuff happening to make one really good piece of baklava. Does everyone like Baklava? How many different ways can you even present Baklava? Does it even matter since Baklava is delicious?
I guess what I am saying is that Monique is sticking with what she does well - feminine, elegant gowns that are super sophisticated in the presentation of all those wonderful details. So, instead of being a ridiculous amount of stuff on a gown, the embellishment has a magnificent, striking subtlety. I thought they were beautiful.
