One of my favourite labels EVER would have to be Marchesa. Their pieces are simply exquisite and are often seen on the likes of Natalie Portman, Jessica Alba, Olivia Wilde, Nicole Richie and many other hotter than hot celebrities. Most recently Mark Wahlberg's wife, Rhea Durham, wore a completely amazing Marchesa gown at their wedding. Absolutely perfect! I'm loving Marchesa's new Cruise 2009 collection. Such beautifully constructed, grecian inspired pieces with embellishments in the most gorgeous shades of gold. I especially love the lolly coloured pieces. Wouldn't they just make the most per... |
Photos courtesy of MarchesaAs you may have read, I officially said "yes" to my wedding dress, but there were several dresses that were major contentenders. Therefore, I thought it would be fun to post photos of the dress options I was considering, but didn't end up picking! The first two options aren't wedding dresses and instead, gowns that appeared on the runway during Mercedes Benz Spring 2010 Fashion Week. I loved the idea of taking a regular runway dress and making it bridal. These two whimsical gowns are from Marchesa, a stellar collection from Georgina Chapman. The left dress is a bit ... |
Elegant eveningwear, inspired by vintage and Asian influences defines the Marchesa Collection. The beautiful designs fuse high fashion with an eclectic aesthetic.

We are now excited to showcase the Marchesa bridal collection! The bridal collection follows in the footsteps of the fashion collection and exudes glamour and style! Here are a few of our favourites...Marchesa is available at Jean Bro... |
Photos Courtesy of StyleMarchesa's Fall 2010 collection captured the essence of designer, Georgina Chapman's aesthetic beautifully - whimsical and feminine, with each piece tailored within an inch of its' life. Many delicate dresses featured frothy fabrics that would be perfect for any bride-to-be. But, dear readers, let me warn you once again, expect to see one or more of these dresses on the red carpet (either at the Oscar's or a movie premier). My guess of which one you'll see? The top one. But still, Marchesa still reigns as one of the best dress designers... |
I am almost certain I've said this before but if I was able to have any designer in the whole wide world dress me for my wedding it would be Marchesa. Ahhh... simply AMAZING! Most of you may not be aware that Marchesa was started up by British born Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig, who met whilst studying at the Chelsea College of Art and Design in London. Georgina, a 2001 graduate of the Wimbledon School of Art, began her career as a costume designer while Keren graduated from Brighton Art College in 2000 and subsequently focused on print and embroidery design. Georgina’s draping and design... |
In my opinion, this dress is as close to perfect as it gets! Let's list the reasons. It has an empire waist (very flattering). It features a built in corset (adds structure and holds the dress in place, no slippage). The pattern is an all-over gorgeous Asian inspired wave (it's subtle and such a unique touch). I love the romantic flowy-ness (it is so very in). AND while not exactly bargain priced, it still beats out many multitudes of wedding gowns I've admired in the past, including ones from J Crew.This would be the perfect for the unique bride having a less than uber-fancy wedding. I can't... |

The fashion winner at last evening’s 82nd Academy Award Ceremony was most definitely Marchesa. Besides the glamorous designs by Marchesa, the red carpet was saturated with hues of blush and gold. Marchesa’s 2010 Resort Collection delivers a gown suited for the red carpet or a white aisle!... |
