Leanne Marshall's Fall/Winter 2017 collection, which debuted February 12 at Skylight Clarkson Square, made Old Hollywood glamour and ethereal beauty new again through expert draping and modern cuts. Cream and champagne tones were offset by reds and blacks, providing balance to even the most angelic, floating gowns.

Chiffon and charmeuse were instrumental in creating the dreamlike shape and motion of the gowns, proving a dress need not be a ball gown to exude all the elegance of a modern princess. Draped accents on some silk dresses amplified the silver screen siren aesthetic, while separates defined a new kind of formalwear. One particular ensemble consisted of a scarlet silk top with angular shoulder cutouts, worn with a cream-colored tiered lace skirt; other two-piece styles included shiny black silk wool off-shoulder jackets worn over full cream colored chiffon dresses.

Models wore hair in intricate waves at the crown with straightened ponytails, and makeup was almost of another, more undone sort of look: smudged smoky black shadow and true red lips. While each dress alone was truly fare for dreams, the final look—a strong choice in black—elicited gasps. A strapless black down in organza and silk wool, with intricate beading and floral organza details on the entirety of the skirt, was paired with matching beaded gloves. It's little mystery why Marshall brought this model back out for her bow: the unforgettable black gown was truly her piece de resistance.
