Judging the Judges: Monique Lhuillier Resort 2009 Collection
Fashion Week Daily gives us the skinny on Monique Lhuillier's Resort collection:
"The glamour girl continues to reign supreme for Monique Lhuillier, whose 34-look resort collection infused a safari feel this season, most evident in the liberal use of raffia on jackets and skirts. "Everything is dry this time," said the designer, alluding to the lack of the saccharine sheen her garments have enjoyed in the past. "It's safari, but not so literal." A spiffy collection it was, with intricately beaded jackets and tops, not to mention wooden button detailing, and a great gazar skirt that had precisely placed wooden studded beads atop ribbon that snaked all around. A Sabrina neckline dress that floated fabric high above the chest was also charming. Most, if not all, out of the outfits emphasized the waist. And for Lhuillier's ever-growing fan base, they'll be happy to know she didn't abandon those trademark lush gowns. This season in addition to a sweeping number with floral abstract print, she included a sportier version: A simple navy and white color block halter."
A very, very pretty collection. Really, there's not a wrong note to be found anywhere. These looks are fresh and feminine. We love that she mixed up the silhouettes so much and if you know anything else about our taste, you know we love that she used prints so effectively. This is another collection that we think a lot of women would want to wear or want to be able to wear. In the parlance, she "knows women."

Judging the Judges: Fall 2008 Bridal Collections
Darlings, it's that time of year again, when young women get to realize their lifelong dream of arguing with their mothers over flower arrangements and caterers. Yes, it's bridal season and what better way to observe it than to listen to two queens rip the gowns?
Three of Project Runway's former guest judges have recently shown their bridal collections and we've got the goods.
Badgley Mischka
Feh. There's a sort of plain-jane sameness going on here. We're definitely of the camp that says that the less frippery and Disney-princess embellishments, the better, but aside from the third dress, we're not sold on this collection.
Monique Lhuillier
These, we like. There are a range of silhouettes and styles here. We especially like dresses one and two. Four and five are just a little too doily-like for our tastes. Three looks a little too Harlow and the bodice on six looks like a foundation garment.
Vera Wang
Number four is a harlot!
We've criticized Vera for things in the past, but one area where she simply can't be ripped is the bridal dress. She does it better than just about anybody else.
That's not to say we love all of these. Number two is outrageously unflattering. We like the touches of black on five and six. Also like the coat version on seven. We've seen eight plenty of times before and nine looks like the aforementioned Disney princess. Ten has just a little too much going on.
