An aquatic theme inspired Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig's collection for Marchesa. The designers behind the grandiose label noted in their program a number of nautical inspirations, such as the 19th century Ilya Repin painting "
Sadko in the Underwater Kingdom," and Ernst Haeckel drawings of tentacles and jellyfish.
Model Karen Elson opened Marchesa's show in a glittering dress made of cascading silver fringe. Several of the dresses were made entirely of sheer tulle, with sequin embroideries creating coral-like patterns on the model's bodies.
