I was so excited for Francesca Marotta's debut presentation at London Fashion Week.
Francesca has been working within the fashion industry for a long time, as a well known stylist and now we have the opportunity to see her work as a very talented designer, I couldn't be happier for her because she's also a friend of mine.
The collection entitled “A la Recherche du Temps Perdu” was held at the beautiful Saint Martins Lane hotel. It was an informal and very interesting way to appreciate all the work she has put into the collection and showed how beautiful and well constructed her garments are.
Models were wearing a selection of evening dresses and gowns with exquisite fabrics and the attention to the detail was impeccable. The colour scheme used was black, blues and metallic hues of mustard and burgundy.
The centre piece was this beautifully embellished black gown, a real haute couture dress.
In detail, a picture of my favourite dress. I loved the details of the puff sleeves, the texture of the fabric and mainly the back which was laced from top to bottom in the best corsetry style. (pictured on the gallery below)

Proud and happy for her. Francesca Marotta is definitely a name to remember!
