Designers Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig have been killling it on the runway and red carpet with their magical Marchesa creations. The duo began the label in 2004 and have continued to dominate the evening wear scene season after season.
With the brand's faithful celebrity following, it is fitting the marque was named after European socialite Marchesa Luisa Casati. Countless stars have been photographed in Marchesa creations, including Sandra Bullock with her stunning embellished gown, which she wore when she took home the Oscar. Chapman and Craig's ability to go from ladylike ruffles to hard-hitting architectural cuts results in a collection that is envied and lusted by woman alike. The gowns are true works of art that push the limits and boundaries of fashion and design.
Although these Marchesa creations are statement-setting, they never fail to add emphasis to all the right places. Like any good designer, they focus on creating wears that highlight the best in their models.
