Marchesa Fall 2012

  Although I haven't written anything about New York Fashion Week, I felt compelled to showcase true elegance to my fellow readers. Marchesa is a fan favorite, Hollywood favorite and I for one LOVE the label. And their presentation is perfectly timed with the Academy Awards just around the corner. The presentation was held at the Plaza Hotel with many starlets and stylists in front row ready to pick Oscar worthy gowns.
 
  Designers Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig have said that they drew inspiration from an 1879 portrait painting by William Adolphe Bourgueraus; A Soul Brought to Heaven. For those of us who aren't art fanatics, it  is difficult to imagine this painting but by looking at the garments produced by the pair, it must have been a thing of beauty.

  Elaborate designs, champagne colored gowns with floating feathers are some of the few things I love about Marchesa. Designs so beautiful it would be a shame not to see them again. Looking forward to Oscar night to see the beauties on the red carpet.

SURPRISED that Taylor Momsen left the heavy makeup and trashy clothes at home for this event. She looks stunning.
