Take a close up look at Marchesa’s Fall 2012 runway collection. Intricate lace detail, delicately sewn-on feathers, and elaborate embroidery, reign Queen in this luxurious presentation. And let’s not forget about the shoes!

Knee high stilettos with leather cut-outs, and hand applied crystals, deck the feet of Marchesa’s runway models. In the photo gallery below, fashion photographer Olivier Claisse captures every detail from the shimmering gold eye-liner, to the golden threads, that marked the debut of Marchesa’s Fall Collection. This is also, no doubt, a preview of what’s to be seen on some of the hottest, A-list celebrities in the upcoming year!

Two short words that sum up Joanna Mastroianni’s Fall/Winter 2012 Collection would be elegant, and chic.

Mastroianni promised us a journey and she definitely delivered. It was mesmerizing, breath-taking and filled with oo’s and ahh’s. I was literally just jumping out of my seat with excitement as every beautiful piece floated down the runway. Her inspiration was that of ‘an ultimate fashionista and what she might wear in her favorite haunts around the world’. Now I too want to be adorned with these beautiful pieces on my life’s journey.

Everything started in New York City. As the first dress came down the runway I was in a New York state of mind. The black, short and sassy dress had feathers, jewels, silk tulle, and was hand-embroidered on silk organza with fabulous matching gloves.

It was copper, gold, bronze, pewter,  galore!!
