MARCHESA
Tapped by Georgina Chapman and Kerin Craig to launch the house's first foray into accessories, the decidedly red-carpet collection drew inspiration from the duo's strength in fabric manipulation and complex embroideries, with a wink on the interior to the boudoir sensibility always present in their collections. DQ's merchandise planning models fit perfectly into an empty niche in the luxury market, creating first season placement with the major U.S. and international specialty retailers.
