Marchesa: For The Embittered Dickens Character In Your Attic

Sadie Stein — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 14:26:00 EST

Marchesa's latest line was apparently inspired by Miss Havisham. We are always down for that, but given how many of the label's customers are bridal, isn't that kind of a bad omen? Anyhow, think plenty of tattered lace and you're on the right track! More »

Kate Moss Doesn't "Intellectualize" Getting Dressed

Sadie Stein — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 12:30:00 EDT

The Kate Moss "guide to partying" is a major letdown. "Don't dance with men who can't dance. I prefer to dance with my girlfriends." Is one of the rules. "Be a gorgeous moddle" probably doesn't hurt, either. [Mirror]
She basically comes out and says you can't just be her, anyway. "When it comes to dressing, I follow my feelings and just get dressed. For me, it’s not necessarily about trends or even interpreting catwalk looks. That kind of intellectualising is something I never do. I go with a feeling or emotion and don’t necessarily plan, unless, perhaps, it’s a special occasion, or I’ve just bought something that I love and am desperate to wear (such as my new Balenciaga biker jacket) " [Times of London]

Sadie Stein — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 09:20:00 EDT

If you're feeling like a dose of fantasy, then Georgina "Mrs. Harvey Weinstein" Chapman is your woman. Her latest collection for Marchesa alternates between sleekly romantic Grecian and a lacy, voluminous, Flamenco-scented little girl's dream come true.

Last night in New York, Time magazine hosted a reception honoring its self-selected 100 Most Influential people of the year and, I have to say, the women in attendance were a cool bunch: Arianna Huffington, Martha Stewart, Angelica Huston, Wendy Kopp, Tina Fey, Madeeha Hasan Odhaib, Elizabeth Gilbert, and others. And since today's my last day as a full-time Jezebel, I've decided to focus less on the clothes and more on what they've accomplished. On the whole, these are women sans stylists: They're all Good in my book! (Though Wendi Deng's dress is a little unforgivable.) More »

Fashion Show

Jennifer — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 13:45:00 EST

Marchesa designers Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig are known for much more than being in bed with Hollywood. (Chapman is married to film producer Harvey Weinstein and there are always rumors circulating that the reason so many starlets wear Marchesa on the red carpet is because Harvey demands it of them.) Their over-the-top eveningwear designs are never dated, always decadent, and frequently divine. If you love the almost-absurd glamour of the Marchesa label, than this season's offerings will not disappoint. Ruffles and tiers and feathers: Oh my! From their signature Grecian draped gown to full skirted sculptures, the Fall/Winter 2008 collection is luxe (and only a little laughable). An annotated image gallery of the looks you'll be seeing this fall on the red carpet begins below. More »

Golden Globes Cancelled? Fashion Mockery Can Still Continue

Jennifer — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 17:00:00 EST

As everyone knows by now, the Golden Globes, scheduled for Sunday evening, have been called off because of the writer's strike. Besides the entertainers who won't get to drunkenly hog the spotlight, and the designers, whose wares won't be worn, there is us — the common folk — who won't get a chance to referee the fashions from the comfort of our armchairs. Or will we? Over the weekend, we'll be mentally dressing the female nominees in the fashions we think they should have worn. But we could use your help. Check out the list of GG nominees after the jump and let us know: Are you thinking classic red carpet, like Marchesa or Rodarte? Traditional glamour, like Armani or Nina Ricci? Or something a little more unusual like Vena Cava, Proenza Schouler or Marc Jacobs? Give us a guess. And, oh yeah, feel free to go ahead and guess the winners, too. More »

Jennifer — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 12:00:00 EST

The rumors are true! Victoria Beckham is the face of Marc Jacobs' spring 2008 collection and has already been shot by Juergen Teller for her print ads. Fashionista says it means Posh is now "officially and undeniably cool." Others within the fashion community are, um, bound to disagree! But they disagreed when he showed up two and a half hours late for his New York show, and he still hasn't filed for Chapter 11, so... [Fashionista]

As in the dude who keeps insisting he is most certainly not retiring?!) Chapman says its because she wants to focus on Marchesa. We say 'cause she's holding out for Halston. More »
