Marchesa - Runway Review

Bar Refaeli, Stacy Keibler, Petra Nemcova and Taylor Momsen were the starlets front and center at the Marchesa catwalk Wednesday, where Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig presented yet another elaborate and absolutely exquisite collection that truly spoke volumes. Inspired by painter William-Adolphe Bouguereau’s angelic work, “A Soul Brought to Heaven,” the dresses followed the consistency of drama. Pale shades of nude, cream, ivory and blue were brushed with flowers and cascaded like feather details. The bronze and silver fabrics were all hand embroidered with gilded accents. In keeping with autumn winter’s sheer theme, shimmering skeleton body suits peaked through the dark shades of lace. A teal hand embroidered illusion dress with full tulle skirt was remarkable, as was a hand-embroidered gold and cream coat with pleated tulle bursting from underneath the hem. These gowns screamed for an Oscars moment two weeks from now.
