When it comes to designing clothes, Susana Monaco is a believer in the 'less is more' mantra. Instead of a bunch of beading or a complicated cut, her pieces focus on what really makes a woman stand out: the fit. Monaco, who was schooled in style at The Fashion Institute of Technology, started her namesake collection in 1996. We dig her always-gorgeous color palette and the comfy, season-spanning supplex fabric that has become her signature. But what we absolutely adore are the sexy, clean lines that make her designs look bodacious on just about any body.
