Monique L’huillier is planning to expand her fashion label to create handbags, home furnishings, and fine china with Royal Doulton in the coming months.
‘They will all have the Monique aesthetic - chic, feminine, modern,’ said the New York-based designer.
The chinaware will be in store by spring next year and she is hoping the home furnishings will be on sale within the next two years, followed by a fragrance and shoes.
Lhuillier, who runs her company with her husband, launched her bridal collection in 1996 and expanded into ready-to-wear in 2002 and has since dressed Angelina Jolie, Sharon Stone, Reese Witherspoon and Sarah Jessica Parker.
‘Dressing a celebrity is like doing a fashion show for all the world to see. You can dress one person and is printed everywhere. It helps build the brand’, L’huillier adds.
