Marchesa Spring 2011

This sculptured, structured fall set to me seems to have arisen from a consortium of ideas that appeared to raise a why not? and found no suitable deterrent from pursuing this fantastical collection.

This collection is all about the detailing: yards of beaded, hand-embroidered, laser-cut, printed, hand-painted, folded and ombre-shaded tulle, layered organza and draped satin. Such attention to intricacy is what Marchesa excels at, from the fairytale dresses to the (almost) wearable-to-dinner jumpsuits; this collection is as indulgent and breath-taking as high fashion should be, and the results are absolutely stunning.

At the beginning, with you

Imagination is not only the uniquely human capacity to envision that which is not, and therefore the fount of all invention and innovation. In its arguably most transformative and revelatory capacity, it is the power that enables us to empathise with humans whose experiences we have never shared. ~ J. K. Rowling

Any so begins what I would like to see as an extension of my current blog, shesaidiloveyou.tumblr.com.
This is for posts that I want to extend, explore more of or simply to keep a larger selection of photos or details than can not otherwise be adequately added (without web hosting) to certain posts, purely because much of the time I'm unable to choose one representative image or object alone!
