Leanne Marshall Debuts at Lincoln Center with SHEER Beauty
And
yes, the emphasis on SHEER is fully intentional. Many looks in this
42-piece collection incorporated such delicate sheer effects, from the
bodice to really all over! Leanne's work is always feminine and
ethereal, but it was great seeing her transition her signature aesthetic
to full on red carpet glam and even some sexier pieces. She actually
presented twice during NYFW, a RTW presentation at the Affinia Hotel,
and then with more upscale looks for her first time presenting at
Lincoln Center, The Pavilion. And WOW, what a show, very stunning,
eye-catching, out of this world gowns, dresses, and even some separates.
The
vibe for this collection was very light and airy, lovely pieces with a
gorgeous fit and flowing trains. The color palette ranged from
traditional staple colors, such as black and white, to more vibrant pops
of color, such as crimson red and burnt orange. Leanne also created
some magnificent prints with dye treatments, all thanks to Rit Dyes.
Her
various looks were segmented into separate categories -- Le Voyage
(black & forest green staple, signature Leanne pieces), La Chasse de
L'amour (many of the Rit hand-painted looks), La Obsession (all about
the regal ruby red looks), & La Demence (lots of luxurious navy blue
dresses).
My
first fashion show ever in NYC was for Leanne Marshall, and I've seen
her present many times since then. But I am immensely proud of her
continued breathtaking work and for all of her success. I am very happy
she was able to present at Lincoln Center and that for her debut
showing, I was able to witness it firsthand. These looks were certainly
memorable for such a momentous occasion. I am positive we will see some
of them very soon on red carpets and the like!
CONGRATS & GREAT WORK LEANNE!!
