Fashion designer Monique Lhuillier is creating a reproduction of her New York City brownstone salon complete with mini-wedding dresses and evening gowns.
A number of the houses will feature landscaped exteriors designed by both Stephen Block of Inner Gardens and Christine London Ltd.
The ultimate designer Dollhouse Showcase and preview party will raise funds to benefit the UCLA Children’s Discovery and Innovation Institute at Mattel Children’s Hospital UCLA.
