The deteriorating beauty of Miss Havisham–the New York season’s second reference to the Great Expectations character–served as the touchpoint for Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig’s fall Marchesa collection. Decadent? Yes. Absolutely. The collection boasted shredded fabrics and embellishments in shades ranging from subtle blush and porcelain to more devious smoked sky and fiery red. The entire collection, as a whole, felt antiquated and aged–and that was done in purpose. Jet velvets complemented the tulle and embroidery; snowy gauze and lace were infused into the draped silk taffetas and ruffle skirts. The sheer exquisiteness of the details was mindblowing, making these the epitome of red carpet gowns.
