S T y l e l o c a T o r FAll FASHioN For womeN iN BoStoN

Where do you find the inspira-

tion for your designs?

i draw inspiration from a lot of dif-ferent places. my favorite thing to do is travel, and when i go on these different trips, i just get so inspired, whether it’s a beautiful art piece i’m looking at, people-watching on the street or a beautiful fabric that i see. the ideas just start, and it hap-pens. So it’s usually from traveling, but also just living. i’m drawn to beautiful things.

What was the inspiration behind

the fall 2014 collection?

it was the mysterious side of mo-nique. the season is very dramatic, it has a lot of darker shades—mid-night, black and metallics. it’s also sleeker. i tried to keep the collec-tion dark and mysterious, but i also added some pops of color in the fuchsia and the lush pink. in fall, i like to have the collection be a little more dramatic than romantic. i feel that women need that darker side.

a lot of people know you for

bridal. are you expanding the

ready-to-wear collection?

i started my company 17 years ago. the first seven years, i was only do-ing wedding gowns. those were a great start for me, but then i wanted to dress women through-out their lives rather than just on that special day, which is how the ready-to-wear started. Now, i want to dress her earlier in the day, so you see more separates and what i call “high day” looks in the collec-tion. it then goes into evening and gala gowns at night. Another new thing for me is shoes; this is my second season doing shoes.

What pieces or trends do you

think are key for fall?

i think a great lace shoe bootie is a must in the wardrobe. i also think a great cocktail dress with a great fit and a bit of shimmer is key for the

wardrobe. the final component of my collection is the statement gowns—i love seeing women put in that effort and transform for that one evening and make it memo-rable, letting the fantasy back in.

What is the most important

piece or pieces to your own

personal style?

A great-fitting cocktail dress is a signature of mine. i feel like it’s so versatile, it takes you to so many different places. i travel a lot and know these pieces serve a great purpose.

How often do you travel?

twice a month.

What are your best travel tips?

to over-pack is just a drag. i always say plan your wardrobe two days before you leave and style it out with the shoes, the belts, etc., so that way you’re very well-edited and it doesn’t take up a lot of space. if you’re organized, it makes traveling a breeze.

What is the first thing you do

when you arrive at your new

destination?

i like to unpack and get everything hung, and then i take a walk and see my surroundings—the neigh-borhood, check out what sort of things there are to do in the hotel. i like to discover immediately.

How do you make a hotel room

feel more like home?

i bring my music with me; that makes me feel at home. i also bring a fragrance with me, whether it be a candle or an air spray, so it smells like me and my environment. if it’s a long stay, i order fresh flowers which automatically makes it feel more cozy.

What are you listening to

right now?

i listen to a lot of Pharrell. i also lis-ten to Coldplay. i like to dance, so i have a lot of dance mixes—i love David Guetta, Justin timberlake.

When you travel, do you like the

aisle or window seat?

if i travel with somebody, like my husband, i like the window seat; but if i travel alone, i like the aisle. i like to be independent and not cross over anybody and bother anybody.

What’s your favorite

vacation spot?

too many to mention! But i have some favorites. i love going to Venice and eating the delicious food—it’s so beautiful. i also love going to Capri and staying at J.K.Place hotel; it feels like your own private beach house. we also love going to Aspen, Colo., which is only a two-hour flight from los Ange-les—we’re a very big outdoors family, so we ski a lot in the winter; in the summer we like to bike and hike. But i could go on. i also love Paris.

What’s one thing you can’t be

without when you travel?

my iPhone, because i can take pictures with it. i’m always connected—if somebody needs me, i’m very accessible. i have my music, my pictures and it just keeps me on track.
