Over the past seven years, Monique Lhuillier has taken the bridal industry by storm. The upscale, designer gown company was founded in 1996 by husband and wife team Monique Lhuillier and Tom Bugbee. Today, Monique Lhuillier is considered one of the top innovative bridal houses in terms of design, quality and brand image.

Monique Lhuillier diversified the product line with the launch of the Spring 2001 Eveningwear Collection, which has been extremely well received. The Evening Collection focuses on Monique's strengths, including innovative designs, rich fabrics and quality craftsmanship.

Monique Lhuillier opened its flagship Beverly Hills boutique in February 2001, carrying both the bridal and eveningwear collections. In addition to the salon, Monique Lhuillier gowns may be viewed at specialty retailers throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico and Japan. Celebrities and their stylists have taken notice of Monique's creations: her gowns have been worn by Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson, Angelina Jolie, Debra Messing, Megan Mullally and Sarah Michelle Gellar, among others.
