Over the past year, graduates from FIDM, the West Coast’s premier fashion design school, have worked as costume designers on a variety of projects ranging from Steven Spielberg’s “Tin Tin,” Tim Burton’s “Alice In Wonderland,” and Drew Barrymore’s “Whip It,” to hit TV shows like “Chuck,” “The Starter Wife,” “So You Think You Can Dance,” “The Cleaner,” and “America’s Prom Queen.”
“InStyle Magazine” recently asked celebrity designer and FIDM Fashion Design alumna Monique Lhuillier and eight other designers, including Max Azria, Badgley Mischka, and Zac Posen, to design a wedding dresses for the “Twilight” saga’s popular protagonist Bella. Lhuillier’s gown, inspired by an elegant look from the 1920’s, featured a mermaid-style silhouette with a high neck, cap sleeves, silk sash, and lace detailing.
“People Magazine” called the dress “breathtaking” and “Twilight” fans have also lauded her work, referring to Lhuillier’s gown as “stunning” and “romantic.” The renowned designer has dressed many celebrities throughout her career, including Scarlett Johansson, Angelina Jolie, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Reese Witherspoon.
