INSIDE SCOOP: Talia Shobrook and the Le Métier de Beauté team up at Marchesa SS'11

It only gets better...

The Marchesa SS'11 presentation at the Chelsea Art Gallery was one for the books. With only a few collections left to show for the Spring season Georgina Chapman left things on a very sweet note. Cascading gowns and strategically placed ruffles - a Marchesa signature were present. But a more prominent theme was acknowledged - Oriental Princess'.

Talia rolled with the look of the collection nodding to the “ancient orientalism” of the clothes by doing a "fresh take" on the 

traditional women from the era.

Talia shares the tricks of the trade!

Backstage can be a little nuts, But Talia and the Le Métier team worked seamlessly getting model after model camera ready.

CHRISTIAN COTA SS'11

A collection that was supposedly inspired while Cota was vacationing in the Yucatàn Peninsula. The prints were technical but muted by the light color choices and flowy silhouettes. Talia decided to extended the airiness in to the make-up with a light splash of color on the eyes and a nude lip - giving us all a feeling of a cool spring breeze.

MARLON GOBEL SS'11

Thorsten covered-up every blemish on these men making sure their complexion were as flawless as their suits.

Thorsten wanted to keep it "clean, polished and sun-kissed" for Marlon Gobel's SS'11 collection. And that he did, with Dior products and a skilled team Thorsten whipped all 26 men in to tip top shape.
