MARCHESA set to launch secondary line!

Ladies, the day of owning a beautiful MARCHESA dress might now be possible! Today I was delighted to read on VOGUE that Marchesa is launching a secondary line – at lower price points! We will probably still need to save for a year or two in order to have one hanging oh so elegantly in our wardrobe, BUT I believe we are one step closer of getting our mitts on a little bit of Marchesa! Grab your Boyfriend, force him to propose, and give Blake Lively a run for her money! The line is set to launch at the end of this year so don't panic you’ve still got plenty of time to plan that WILD hen do (and to upgrade that Haribo ring for a 'real' one). 

The new affordable line will apparently feature daywear and accessories; I can’t wait to pop to Tesco attired in Marchesa head to toe (keep dreaming Kirsty).

Words from Co Designer Georgina Chapman:

"We have always had a vision for Marchesa to be a lifestyle brand," Chapman told WWD. "We have been very specific for eveningwear so far. We always had this dream that Marchesa could transcend into all different areas of lifestyle."

It pleases me to know that Georgina Chapman is passionate about connecting with people who simply can’t afford to pay thousands for a garment. Georgina & Keren have dreamt to reach out to different consumers; if their success and beautiful collections are anything to go by then it will definitely be a clothing line you won't want to miss! Good luck ladies and I will be waiting patiently to see the launch at the end of the year (the suspense is already killing me).

I will now leave you to admire some of their romantic slash breathtaking slash outrageously elegant garments...

After seeing these impeccable designs I hope you are now an excitable little bunny like myself! 

Lots of Marchesa loving,

'So Stepford'

I was browsing through my photos on my Mac last night; not only did it alarm me of how many photos I hoard, but it also made me want to share a few of them with you. As I have only recently started blogging I have missed out on a thousand blog opportunities, therefore I think it's only right that I squeeze in a few 'ancient' blogs! 

Lets start with a university project... 

The main part of the brief involved choosing a fashion brand and creating a new advertising campaign. We had to research Film Noir and Alfred Hitchcock for inspiration, however I liked how we had the freedom to choose any other film which inspired us. 

The brand I selected: Kurt Geiger

The film I was inspired by: The Stepford Wives 

Inspiration...

Possible props...

and here are some of my final magazine spreads...

I shoot these photographs in my Nan's garden. She loved helping me prep and it was like I had my very own Stepford Wife assisting me! 

 When we were gasping for a cuppa my Stepford Wife Nan got the kettle straight on and filled the teapot up!  

The legs belong to my Mother...fingers crossed I have inherited her 'leg genes' so I TOO can have legs like this in my forties!

Looking back at my photographs, I just wish at the time I had a larger collection of KG shoes to play around with. After all, Kurt Geiger is a shoe retailer and the grey pair I have used are a tad dull (not my idea of attention grabbing). Perhaps it's time I borrow my Mothers legs again, ask my Nan if she is up for some more assistant work, and re shoot using my updated collection of KG shoes!

If you haven't already spent all of your pennies in the January sales, then I insist you check out the Kurt Geiger sale HERE! 

Cure those January blues in style!

 Anyway it's time I head to the kitchen and start baking!

Have a lovely weekend everyone.
