Marchesa is quite possibly one of my favorite labels out there. The brand, which was only founded in 2004, has already established itself as a leader in the fashion industry by consistently producing some of the most beautiful and coveted dresses in the fashion world.
This season is no different. The company's designers, Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig have revealed yet another breathtaking collection for Spring 2011 that showcases Chapman's highly evolved draping skills using the exclusive textiles that Craig develops for the brand. The result? An exquisite collection of dresses that Vogue describes as: "the kind [of dresses] that little girls dream of, ultra-feminine confections that never skimp on the embellishments. To their credit, however, the designers have learned to channel those girlish dreams and turn them into well-considered, well-made, and whimsical high-wattage gowns."
Marchesa's star-studded show, which took place at the Chelsea Art Museum this fall, featured gorgeous dresses wrought with details inspired from the Orient. Heavily bejeweled necklines, hand-painted florals on sculptural drapes and lavish embroidery are only some of the extensive details in the Spring 2011 collection. The majority of the collection was based on a lighter palette that featured white, pastel and nude tones which are sure to be the hottest colors to sport as the climates warms up.
Overall, the show managed to capture the full attention of its attendees and was described largely using superlatives thereby reaffirming the designers' skills, talent and wildly successful creative partnership. However, despite my love for the label's signature look which Chapman and Craig have seemingly perfected, I would like to see the duo branching out and using their immense talent to create some more riske and avant-garde looks in future collections. Apart from that, I have no complaints whatsoever with Marchesa's latest collection and will continue to dream of wearing its designs someday.
