Marchesa to Launch Lower-Price Line, Tell All Your Friends

May 7, 2012 @ 10:40 am

Dreams do come true! Marchesa is coming out with a lower-price line, designers Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig announced today. “We have always had a vision for Marchesa to be a lifestyle brand,” Chapman told WWD. “We have been very specific for eveningwear so far. We always had this dream Marchesa could transcend into all different areas of lifestyle.” The collection will incorporate embroidery and prints—elements that made Marchesa a red carpet favorite (Diane Kruger is just one of many celebrity fans)—on clothes and accessories ranging from $150 to $750. The first pieces will land in stores by next summer. We can hardly wait!

Jennifer Lawrence likes to wear her fair share of LBDs (honestly, who doesn’t?), though we’d like to take a moment to point out that this young star looks great in color—any color. The Hunger Games leading lady headed to last year’s SAG Awards in hot pink Oscar de la Renta, hit last week’s Berlin premiere of her action movie in red Marchesa, shimmered in gold Prabal Gurung at the Los Angeles Games premiere, stepped out in forest green Calvin Klein in New York last night, presented at the People’s Choice Awards in electric blue Viktor & Rolf, and spoke with David Letterman in navy-violet Altuzarra. For someone who usually likes neutrals, bright hues suit her well! Tell us: What’s your favorite color to wear?

British Prime Minister David Cameron and his wife, Samantha Cameron, visited the Obamas in Washington D.C. this week, where the First Ladies represented their countries in a colorful mix clothes by British and American designers. The most interesting fashion moment happened at last night’s White House State Dinner, the culmination of the visit, where Michelle Obama chose a teal, off-the-shoulder Marchesa gown. Marchesa designers Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig are both British, and the label is based out of New York. Talk about a diplomatic outfit choice!

Runway Looks We Love: Marchesa

Feb 16, 2012 @ 5:45 pm

Celebrity stylists anxiously await Marchesa’s fashion show every season, and rightfully so—every piece from the new fall collection could end up on the red carpet. Inspired by William Adolphe Bouguereau’s portrait “A Soul Brought to Heaven,” designers Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig produced an angelic collection featuring shimmering gowns concocted from gold lamé, crystal-embroidered illusion lace, and layered tulle. Some designs were so large they skimmed the feet of guests in the front row, which included Rachel Zoe, Stacy Keibler, and Jenna Dewan-Tatum. Even the accessories had a heavenly appeal, from the Christian Louboutin shoes to the Lorraine and Ofira Schwartz jewelry. See our favorite looks in the gallery!
