Hollywood's red-carpet glam comes to Singapore

You may not have heard of this British-born, New York-based designer duo, but you've certainly seen their red-carpet creations on the backs of some lovely Hollywood A-listers before.

Marchesa's co-designers and founders, Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig, have built their reputation as designers that the stars go to for maximum red-carpet impact with their stunning eveningwear since 2004. And these darlings of movie stars are now showing their designs at the upcoming Audi Fashion Festival (AFF) 2010, with their collection brought to us by Samsung, which is also sponsor of the official mobile phone for AFF 2010.

"I trained as a costume designer, so my first love is working with a personality," explains Chapman, who designs the pieces from textiles created by Craig.

For the Singapore debut of the signature Marchesa Collection on April 30, expect to see lots of elaborate gowns in delicate embroidery with vintage and Asian influences, dresses that say ultra-feminine, and glamour that is just that bit over the top - in short, any girl's fashion dream come true.

Walking the runway for the label is Korean supermodel and TV personality Song Kyunga, who has graced the cover of Vogue Korea, fronted major global campaigns, including M.A.C, Diesel and Guess, and been invited to judge the popular Korean reality show "I Am A Model". All these delectable bits just makes this fashion show that bit more desirable in terms of being included in the guestlist.

Besides being in the company of beautiful people and exquisite fashion, technophiles who like their gadgets with an aesthetic sense will want to see the latest stylish smartphone, Samsung Wave, which is the first mobile handset to be released on Samsung’s new open platform, Samsung bada.

It also boasts of being the phone with the world’s first Super AMOLED, anti-scratch, anti-smudge 3.3” full-touch display screen, which offers astonishingly bright and vivid colours.

We have two tickets to the Marchesa show presented by Samsung to give away! Details here!
