New York Fashion Week: Marchesa Fall 09 Gallery

For lots of pretty, floaty, fabulous frocks it is imperative that you swing by the Marchesa show during New York Fashion Week. Sticking two fingers to the economy was co-designer Georgina Chapman, who didn’t disappoint in offering up an array of delicate whimsical creations for eveningwear. Fairytale-inspired red carpet gowns were aplenty in layered tulle and draped Grecian-style jersey. These filtered out into ruffled candy cocktail dresses and sparkly black and red minidresses, all tied up in a satin bow. As always it is a true pleasure to watch the fruits of Marchesa’s labor, and take a moment to escape the realities of life. And with Sir Philip Green lurking around the room, one can’t but help wonder whether we might see a Marchesa/Topshop collaboration in the future.
