Fall 2011 New York Fashion Week: Monique Lhuillier 2011-02-14 17:16:07

Monique Lhuillier's runway proceeds like a fantastic call to femininity. Bow-tied belts cinch dresses perfectly at the waist, echoing that kind of Old Hollywood glam in the retro-styled hair and sultry cat-eyes. Then, a feather-trimmed skirt tops a pair of skinny black trousers and a slim blazer; shoulder embellishments on a sparkly black sheath, and lace-up heels — details that work to counter the call to vintage with the more modern femme, while a palette of black lace, red, and leopard-print further that call to classic femininity in the most glamorous way.  Catch the full runway here on FabSugarTV.
