On a prayer and a whim, I accompanied my super-stylish fashion editor sister to Marchesa’s S/S 2010 presentation show at the hip Chelsea Art Museum.

“Yes, PR girl, I just so happen to look exactly like my boss!” I mused as I slipped through as my sister’s impostor assistant.

To say the show was mind-bogglingly gorgeous and awe-inspiring or that Georgina Chapman was so stunning and sweet or that the place was crawling with some of TV’s hottest stars would be a gross understatement. Models teetered on 5-inch Loubs in concoctions of creamy satin, sexy lace and frothy organza. A few clutched pieces from Marchesa’s new evening bag line, while others displayed some major fling (finger bling). Swirling the pin-thin legs of some were handpainted tights which gave the illusion of an intricate tattoo job. The hair by Frederic Fekkai was slick and the lashes were feathered…literally.

Old Black&White

I was obsessed with the HighEnd color palette of inky black and creamy white with pops of hot pink and purple and tinges of gold. The gowns were so “knock your socks off,” I swear they could walk themselves down any red carpet. But there were plenty of stars on hand to accompany these dynamo dresses, including the somehow lovelier in person Emmanuelle Chriqui. I literally lol’d when she confessed that she was “freaking out” from the beauty of the show.

I <3 Sloane!

Freak Out! Le Chic!

My fave aspect of the presentation was the feeling of unabashed opulence and glamour. The duchesse satin reeked (in the best possible way) of Old Hollywood richness. Oversized obi bows and oragami folds thoughtfully adorned both jackets and frocks. One of the Marchesa clutches were topped off with a hunk of beautiful crystal. O, and did I mention a few of the Louboutins were uber-chichi snake-skin? I’m talking straight glamour, HighEnders!

One look was so beautiful, I declared then and there it would be my wedding ‘fit. Ok, so maybe a jacket and short-shorts aren’t standard wedding fare, but as we learned last fashion week, “The Chic certainly must go on.” And Marchesa’s S/S line brimming with luxuriousness made possible by the sartorial genius of Georgina and Karen definitely brought that statement to life.

What’s your pick for most HighEnd, chicsters?
