Leanne Marshall Fall Winter 2018 at New York Fashion Week

Leanne Marshall celebrated her recent engagement with fans and fashion insiders by holding her runway show on Valentine's Day, placing a custom-made Valentine by Lovepop on each runway seat with a Fall/Winter sketch and love note to attendees.

Gorgeous gowns, chunky knitwear pieces, and oversized jackets styled with a trendy wet hair look by Aveda graced the runway at Leanne Marshall's Fall Winter 2018 show.

Her palette consisted of charcoal, midnight navy, dusty rose, metallic bronze, citron, and cyan. The unexpected color combinations flowed gorgeously from one capsule to the next with her signature silk chiffon silhouettes, wool shift dresses, and organic cotton outerwear. My favorite color combinations included navy and citron, charcoal heather and dusty rose, navy and metallic bronze, and cyan and navy.

Waved and scalloped cutouts added a touch of drama and served as a departure from her usual penchant for flowy fabrics. Each piece in the collection was crafted sustainably, whether from leftover, hand-dyed bridal materials or organically sourced cottons. My favorite looks from the collection included a bronze sheer beaded long sleeve top and sheer tiered beaded skirt, and a navy wool crepe gown with illusion bodice and bronze silk chiffon skirt.

The forty models in the show featured a variety of different shapes, sizes and ethnicities, including plus sized and real sized models, reinforcing Marshall's desire to dress all women. 

Leanne Marshall's last look was a stunning, voluminous citron gown with a drop waist, with lace illusion and crinkle silk organza details. 

The show closed with Marshall's fiancé Remy making his first catwalk appearance handing over a lovely bouquet of red roses to his bride to be, with a loving "aw" trickling through the crowd.

Leanne Marshall Spring / Summer 2018 at New York Fashion Week

Leanne Marshall Spring / Summer 2018 is inspired by a tropical paradise, in a colorful palette of yellow, green, orange, lagoon and hot pink. The dresses are flowy and feminine, with keyhole and diamond cutouts, asymmetrical skirts, ruffles and stripes. The final looks included gorgeous silk organza tropical sunset gowns. 

The looks were paired with platform sandals and open-toe booties with diamond cutout and contrast buckles by Oceedee Shoes. Make-up was by Janell Geason for Aveda and hair was by Jon Reyman for Aveda.
