'Blake Lively in front row at Marchesa says show is a \'highlight\' of New York Fashion Week'

'BLAKE LIVELY SITS FRONT ROW AT MARCHESA In smoky gray tulle, long black fringe and strands of silver beading against white, the Marchesa designers Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig brought on an opium dream that might just waft its way onto a red carpet very, very soon. The duo Wednesday (18 FEB 2015) staged their fall show in two small rooms at the baroque St. Regis hotel, a perfect old New York backdrop for a Gatsby-inspired look in silk, Chantilly lace and poppy flower details, the latter an ode to the mother source of their drug of choice. \"It\'s very opulent. It\'s very decadent,\" Craig said in a pre-show interview. Chapman said the models\' softly waved hair, smudgy eye makeup and dark lips were reminiscent of \"The Great Gatsby\" and its author F. Scott Fitzgerald.  Soon Chapman herself, married to film producer Harvey Weinstein, will be doing her own partying. She said she just picked out her Oscars outfit and will have one eye on the TV to watch for Marchesa gowns on the red carpet as she\'s dressing for the awards show Sunday (22 Feb). \"It\'s nerve-racking,\" she said of red carpet season. \"We\'ll never, never say someone\'s in our dress until we see a picture of them, because you don\'t know.\" Chapman went with black and gold and floral from this collection for her Oscars look, and she\'ll be wearing custom Marchesa from the brand\'s first jewelry line. For now, the two were happy in their fashion week haze of crystal embroidery, ostrich feather fringe and a few plunging necklines fit to party the night away. Weinstein was on hand for Marchesa\'s return to New York Fashion Week after the two showed in London last season. \"It was nice just to go for our 10th anniversary back to London and show in front of our friends and family, but we\'re happy to be back,\" Chapman smiled. Chapman was leaving straight after the show to fly to LA to make her way to Los Angeles for Sunday\'s Academy Awards, according to Craig.
