Now that nearly everyone in fashion is on Twitter, Tumblr or some other online-meets-social media outlet, it’s become quite hard to keep a secret. Last night, stylist Tabitha Simmons let spill that
Marchesa would be staging a proper show this season. She tweeted, “Now going to see the Marchesa collection! Can’t wait as they are having a show this season. I will keep you posted.” Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig have been staging simple, elegant presentations in the Chelsea Arts Museum for years. Models usually stand still in Marchesa’s ornate dresses and sky high heels built in collaboration with Christian Louboutin, often on top of pedestals or boxes. Though anyone who’s watched a red carpet on TV has seen a Marchesa dress in motion, watching them move down a runway, on professional models, will be a totally new experience. If this is the kind of news coming out of fall fashion week, it will be slightly easier to bid summer farewell.
