Marchesa Spring/Summer 2011 Collection takes the couture cake and eats it too
In journalism it is generally wrong to self-reference but this one time, I must. I had the honor of showroom modeling for this company’s bridal couture and it is no surprise why this company takes away breath and stops hearts with every season. It’s not just the sheer, beautiful volume of their ideas invented, it is the glamour and elegance such volume and design can achieve given an immense amount of talent and devotion. Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig are fashion design goddesses. Their designs are breathtaking and they are also comfortable to wear, which is just an added perk because as most fashionistas know, beauty is often in eveningwear also known as pain. This collection while keeping many of their fall silhouette concepts, plays with laser cutting, armory jeweling, rose inspired and aristocratic drapery draping, tulle masses, watercolor floral, and something that looks like rich and specific black smoke finely placed on a white chiffon. Many of the dresses took volume to a confusing and still comforting level, as Marchesa does best. The most effective pieces, if one had to choose, were a few crepe like dresses that actually resemble paper in pleasing curvature. There were several Erte Aladdin pant pieces that were a nice change for the designer duo while remaining in their expensive taste. The color palette was mostly white, off whites, and pink crèmes, while the lavender and plum pieces were royal additions. The play with black in this collection was genius and will surely attract buyers. There are too many days between the day of this show and their next one. More designs more often from this amazing house, many fashion lovers silently dream, please.
