Oh My Marchesa! Part Deux

I'm starting to find myself a bit of a fan of Marchesa. The way the fabrics are manipulated and all the details are stunning. I just want to hold it in my hands and try to figure out how they made them. I stumpled upon this blog post that privvied me to the Fall 2010 collection, and I felt like I was taken away to this fashion dreamland.

So allow me to pass it along, and bring some beauty to an ugly world.

Imagine being able to fly with fairies. That's what this dress makes me think of. Stunning.

OMG. WTF. HOW DID THEY DO THAT? I WANNA TOUCH IT. ARE THOSE FREAKIN UNICORNS!?

Ahh, it's just so film noire. Elegant. Timeless.

It's almost like a Marchesa tribute to YSL. The shooting stars are what won my heart, and the details on the cuff are lovely. I love the way it's styled with the boots and tights!

I love Marchesa's tendency to make their dresses look like they are floating in water or frozen in time. The details in the chest are mind boggling. Love the stars!

Oh My Marchesa!

I was flipping through my roommate's In Style magazine, and came across this beautiful Marchesa dress worn to the Emmy's by Olivia Wilde. We were recently assigned to design a Marchesa wedding dress for a Textiles assignment, and I really wish I would have found this photo! But since I can't cut it out, since it's not mine... I'm going to blog about it! The front is a little risqué, but the super dropped back with the pleats (?) and folds of fabric and lace is where it really sells me! It's such a beautiful dress... intricate, timeless, a work of art... oh, but you know... a picture is worth a thousand words!
