Monique Lhuillier Opens Uptown

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Last week the Upper East Side welcomed new neighbor, Monique Lhuillier, as she opened her New York Flagship Salon in a brownstone at 19 E. 71st Street.  The salon nestled between Fifth and Madison Avenue was a 19th century 2- story townhouse.  The street level carries her ready-to-wear line, including accessories, while the top level is an intimate bridal salon.  Overall, the store invites a warm and luxurious setting that is quite charming.  The bridal salon is decorated in soft greys and equipped with a fireplace, and  various rooms decorated with Waterford chandeliers.   To honor the occasion, an intimate fete ensued with a few close friends including Muffie Potter Aston, Jamie Tisch, and Kelly Rutherford.   Guests were treated to mini wedding cupcakes and champagne while enjoying tunes spun by Harley Viera-Newton.

The highly anticipated launch of the Maison Martin Margiela with H & M  made its debut last week with a bash at a historic but dilapidated cast iron building with a nine story atrium in FiDi. Star clout was robust as Sarah Jessicca Parker, Kanye West, Chace Crawford and Julianne Moore were in attendance along with several fashion designers. The line was extensive for those who sought to buy the Belgian designer’s recreated pieces before they hit stores November 15th. Prices for the collaboration will be less than $400.00.
