ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION)<br/> <br />STORY: Marchesa designers Keren Craig and Georgina Chapman filled their Fall 2013 runway with gowns gorgeous enough for the red carpet.<br/> <br />The collection, which pushed the "Wow!" factor up a notch, was shown on Wednesday (February 13) at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York.<br/> <br />The designers talked with Reuters Television before the show about their new look for fall.<br/> <br />Craig, one half of the British design team, gave Chapman, her partner, credit for the new fall silhouettes.<br/> <br />"Georgina deconstructed a lot of more, sort of, structured pieces, so you're going to see some, sort of, jackets and structured pieces and then a lot of her draping has become deconstructed."<br/> <br />A tailored coat in red satin with a high collar and red floral thread work created a dramatic look, worn over burgundy trousers in silk wool.<br/> <br />The setting for Marchesa's fall runway show seemed just right for a collection inspired by a romantic painting: a gilt-trimmed hall inside the New York Public Library, a midtown Manhattan landmark.<br/> <br />The label's fall collection offered some looks with the potential to cross over from the red carpet to charity galas or brides with their own fashion flair: An ivory sheath gown with bright red embroidery, a slim gray gown with one strap falling languidly off the shoulder and a gray tulle column gown with sheer long sleeves.<br/> <br />Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week wraps up on Thursday (February 14), which also happens to be Valentine's Day.
