Blending signature Marchesa decadence with the dreamiest of silhouettes, a regal take on botanical opulence permeated Marchesa’s Spring 2017 collection. At the demure end of the spectrum, princess cut gowns and sculpted lace peplums offered a dramatic take on classicism, while those seeking luxe incarnations of something unexpected, cascades of tulle cut flowers, fluttering sleeves and daring necklines will satisfy. Balancing seductive elements (sheer silk, cut away sections and illusion necklines) with more demure detailing, the collection felt beautifully balanced, yet full of surprises.
A palette of pure white, bone and blush, pale metallic embroidery, miniature pearls and marquise cut crystals further embellished an already visual feast of rich lace and delicate silk tulles. Accessory styling lent a bohemian edge with metallic crowns and chandelier earrings unexpectedly enhanced with freshly cut flowers.
