New York Fashion Week has been awash with bold political statements, or 'fashtivism' as it's been dubbed. But sometimes, you just need a bit of good ol' pretty to cheer you up.
Enter Marchesa. The New York-based label founded by Brits Keren Craig and Georgina Chapman is always willing to add a little sparkle to the Stateside proceedings.
Star of the show was this ruffled tulle gown...
Sara Sampaio wore the most perfect feathered cocktail dress...
That was more than a little reminiscent of that dress Kate Moss wore to the Cannes Film Festival in 1988...
There was fringing...
Lots of bows. Exquisite bows, on dresses and in hair alike...
And this midnight blue stunner...
And finally, whole bunches of fresh flowers in hair. Because, why not?
