Monique Lhuillier designs capture the essence of sophisticated luxury by provoking femininity, allure and glamour that have made her renowned in the world of design. Monique’s innate sense of style is prevalent throughout her bridal and ready-to-wear collections.

Monique’s love for fashion has been a lifelong passion. Growing up in the Philippines, Monique’s early experiences with fashion took place alongside her mother whose own sense of personal style and elegance were major influences for the designer. Enamored by fashion, Monique was encouraged to pursue her dream of becoming a designer. At a young age, she moved to Los Angeles to devote time to her craft and attend the Fashion Institute for Design and Merchandising.
The delightful fantasy of special occasions, especially weddings, has always inspired Monique Lhuillier. While studying at FIDM, this natural inclination towards bridal and evening gowns led Monique to her niche. It was also during her time at FIDM that Monique met her husband, Tom Bugbee. In 1995, while searching for her own bridal gown, Monique was surprised by the lack of fashionable bridal options. This void in the market reignited her passion to create couture bridal gowns that transcended styles available to women in search of the perfect dress.
In 1996, Monique debuted her first bridal collection to acclaim from retailers and magazine editors. The following year, Tom joined the company as CEO and turned Monique’s vision of a couture design house into reality. Their partnership has grown the business into one of the most successful brands internationally which now includes a ready-to-wear collection and an array of licensed categories.

In 2003, Monique was inducted as a member of the Council of Fashion Designers of America. Recognized internationally as one of the foremost fashion designers, Monique has dressed celebrities and important political figures such as Kristen Stewart, Halle Berry, Reese Witherspoon, Drew Barrymore and the First Lady Michelle Obama.

Monique and Tom live in Los Angeles with their two children, Jack and Sophia. Monique’s career in fashion is enriched by her strong dedication to family and commitment to philanthropic efforts.

Cuando en 1.964 la firma Pronovias presenta su primera colección de prêt-à-porter de novia, la empresa estaba dando un importante paso que la proyectaría al siglo XXI como firma, ya que integraba de manera innovadora los conceptos de novia y prêt-à-porter en un mismo proyecto. Años después en 1.968 Pronovias abrirá la primera tienda especializada en novia de España, un lugar en que la novia podía encontrar su vestido y todos los accesorios. Durante la siguiente década Pronovias abriría 80 tiendas más en España y comenzará su expansión internacional por Europa. En los 90 se introduce en el mercado americano y asiático. Actualmente cuenta con más de 4.000 puntos de venta en 90 países de todo el mundo.

La larga experiencia con la que la empresa cuenta se filtra en todas sus decisiones, una tradición que se remonta a sus orígenes en "El Suizo" un establecimiento inaugurado en 1.922 en Barcelona especializado en encajes, sedas y bordados para las novias. El savoir faire se desprende de los casi 100 años que la familia lleva dedicados a cumplir los deseos y cubrir las necesidades de las novias. Un espíritu que con el paso de los años prevalece por encima de cambios y modas como un verdadero estilo de la casa.
