BLACK AND WHITE
This spring black and white graces numerous runways. A once very stark concept gets invigorated with a fresh and playful look and feel. From stripes to prints and even color blocking, this trend is prominent this season. Just about every designer has incorporated the trend in their Spring 2013 collections. From Alexander Wang, Chanel, Givenchy, to Tom Ford and so many more.
Marc Jacobs
Oscar De La Renta

FLOUNCES AND RUFFLES
This season feminine ruffles and flounces are married with a modern edgy flair. We like to call this the era of “Lady-like Redefined”. Strong silhouettes and bold contrast make this trend relevant to the modern woman. Detailing such as this can be seen from designers like Chloe, Gucci, and Balenciaga this Spring.

DARE TO BE SHEER
We LOVE sheer panels, Inserts and ethereal flowing dresses for spring. Women are reclaiming their right to be sexy, light, and free this season. This trend works perfectly from day to evening. Such designers as Tom Ford, Donna Karen, and Helmut Lang are giving this trend a fresh take.

Thank you to everyone that supports Monif C., we love all of our customers.
In the spirit of loving our fabulous customers, a few months back we did a photoshoot featuring 3 of our customers made over in some of our favorite holiday dresses. We asked each lady to bring the outfit they wore last year for a holiday party, a hot date, and their birthday party just so you can see how a fab dress, some hair and makeup can really up your look! So without further ado, here are the fab ladies!
Denise is a long time customer and with her tall frame and fabulous legs we decided to dress her in the “Miranda” Draped Jersey Gown in Emerald Green!
Check out her before and after
One of my fav new bloggers Jenna was also a part of this shoot and we remade her for a hot date.
