Designer Feature: Marchesa Fall 2016
Marchesa Bridal Fall 2016 introduces an allure of featherlight elements coming together to embody the collection’s ethereal essence, perfect for church weddings and outdoor wedding photoshoots.
Designers Keren Craig and Georgina Chapman of Marchesa pair cascading layers of illusion lace with sheer, open backs and cut-out details, creating an airy feeling that seem to blur the lines between dreams and reality. Lightweight boning and exposed ribbon corsetry add a subtle dash of drama to tiered ruffles and metallic-threaded Chantilly lace.
Neck lines are artfully bejewelled while detachable skirts feature softly pleated tulle and lace sculpted peplum. As for the ball gowns, lavishly embroidered cut-away, along with delicate lace and ladder trim details, adorn both bodices and skirts of the most romantic nature that is so signature of Marchesa.
A lot of thought is given to the modern brides out there, so each piece was deliberately designed with them in mind, while still reflecting the Marchesa aesthetic. For example, skirts that can be removed for a night of dancing. I noticed that there were more body-hugging silhouettes, along with embroidery work with silver, gold and mother of pearl. This season, they have also incorporated more crystals and pearls into their gowns that look like bridal jewellery, but is actually part of the design of the dresses. Looks like bling is back!
Marchesa Bridal is available at all major bridal ateliers internationally and at The Prelude Bridal in Singapore.
