A Designer's Profile: Marchesa



I have been hearing this name more and more these days. The name Marchesa comes from a 19th century eccentric aristocrat named Marchesa Casiti. She was an eccentric Italian heiress, muse, and patroness of the arts in early 20th century Europe. She had an interesting style. She astonished Venetian society by parading with a pair of leashed cheetahs and wearing live snakes as jewellery. Two British designers founded this label in 2004. In 2006, the label was named one of the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund's top ten finalist. Some of its well-known clients are Sienna Miller, Anne Hathaway, and Jessica Alba. Marchesa also has a more casual and less expensive line, Marchesa Notte. I would definitely recommend you to follow this label. It has very intriguing designs. Marchesa label is sold at Saks Fifth Avenue. Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus stores. It is a very nice gown. It could be a nice wedding gown also. Women General
