'(13 Sep 2012) MARCHESA PRESENTS INDIA-INSPIRED LOOKS, HOLLYWOOD STYLE Marchesa\'s Grand Central fashion show is hub of celebrities, Indian influences and red-carpet looks It wasn\'t just like Grand Central Station at Marchesa\'s New York Fashion Week show on Wednesday - which drew the likes of Kim Kardashian, Kanye West and Tyra Banks, and all the photographers that trail them. It was Grand Central Station. The preview of the spring collection was staged at the historic Vanderbilt Hall. It was hardly rush hour on the runway, though. The looks turned out by designers Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig were typically embellished and intricate, and required time to study the details. Models also can\'t walk all that quickly in the gowns that are often jingling with beads and feature slim hemlines. Thanks to the Indian inspiration - via the Beatles\' 1960s experience with the Maharishi - there were more colorful hues and easier-to-wear silhouettes than in recent Marchesa collections. \"Yeah in the 1960\'s so we looked to a lot of color. You\'ll see a lot of color today,\" said Keren Craig. \"60\'s silhouettes, Indian draping, saris jewels, colors, embroideries as usual,\" said Georgina Chapman. It\'s definitely a different look: The line even includes some pants, Chapman noted. The slim-cut capris were styled with a chartreuse sari shift decorated with gold and pearls, but they were indeed pants nonetheless. What fashion insiders are really looking for from Marchesa is a clue of what will soon come on Hollywood red carpets. After this, it\'s safe to say some high-neck gowns, either covered in tassel fringe or metallic beads - or both - and maybe a peacock-blue, one-shouldered tulle gown worn over a fully embroidered gold-leaf illusion bodysuit that gave the appearance of glittering body art. One of the brand\'s young starlet fans certainly could pull off a belly-baring sari-style bolero with shorts and a tulle overlay skirt, too. \"The clothes are amazing. It\'s like a walking fairy tale. And actually this fashion show is my favorite. It\'s like the most theatrical that I\'ve ever been too,\" said Jenna Dewan-Tatum. \"And it\'s beautiful.\" Before the show the designers gushed about actress Blake Lively, who wore a Marchesa gown during her wedding to actor Ryan Reynolds last weekend. \"She\'s just got amazing taste, Blake, and she\'s an incredible client to work with because she really knows her body and she really knows her aesthetic. So it was a wonderful experience. It really was,\" said Chapman.
