Last night, Marchesa showed their autumn/winter 2011/12 collection at a goregous reception in Chelsea. Like Prabal Gurung, Marchesa’s Georgina Chapman was inspired by Miss Havisham, particularly in the 1946 David Lean adaptation of Great Expectations.
For a collection filled with frothy dresses and layered veils, the gowns had deconstructed details and exuded a certain romantic poignancy. I fell in love with the nude mesh sheath gown with red lace appliqué and fishtail hem, pictured above. Other standouts included a dramatic long-sleeved nude gown with lace and crystal embellishment on the shoulders and a silver tulle ball gown with a foiled, sculptural waistline.
