Rachel Zoe is probably dying a little over the news that Marchesa is launching bags at their presentation at the Chelsea Art Museum on September 16th. (The stylist oohed and aahed her way around Georgina and Keren’s studio on last night’s episode of The Rachel Zoe Project. Though did we notice that they misspelled Keren’s name?)

Georgina told WWD that they decided to “approach it the way we approach a dress.” Translation: draping, beading, and of course, rosettes. Because is it really Marchesa without some rosettes? We think not. And they were all designed to hold an evening’s necessities—makeup, Blackberry, and keys.

The line’s prices will range from $995-$5000 (for the exotic skins.) So we’ll just be checking them out on the red carpet for the time being—because you know Harvey Weinstein will have the ladies of Nine working those things right and left come press junket time.

So I didn’t watch Gossip Girl last night. I don’t actually have a TV, slight problem, I know. But when my phone started buzzing with texts from former Fashionistas, I knew I’d missed something major.

Apparently, Blair had been keeping a prom scrapbook under her bed for a very, very long time filled with creepy sketches of her and Nate at the big dance. In one such sketch was a dress and that dress was Marchesa Spring 08, the one Dita Von Teese wore to 7th on Sale almost two years ago.

Which should mean that Blair dreamed up the black and gold embroidered poof before Keren and Georgina even hooked up. And of course the dress in the sketch turned into the dress in real life (thanks to Chuck apparently? thanks to Natalie for ruining the end?) without a single mention of Marchesa.

Wonder what Harvey Weinstein’ll say about that?

We’ve never seen a couture dress in person - at least not that we were aware of - but we always imagined it’d look a little something like the dress at left.

Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig showed their Fall 09 Marchesa collection at the Chelsea Art Museum this afternoon. The girls, all of whom looked about twelve, were split into triptychs and apparently instructed to look miserable.

No matter, the clothes spoke for themselves. There were a couple of recycled Marchesa ideas but who really cares when recycling looks like that? We spotted a few McQueen inspired dresses, lots of sequins, shimmer and lace. Their inspiration? “Fairytales,” said Keren.

The shoes, square toed platform satin ballet slippers from Christian Louboutin had us practically swooning into the arms of Matchbox 20’s Rob Thomas. We can’t imagine having a reason to wear such frothy gowns, but thank goodness we’ve got six months to justify the shoes.

Oh, and for the record, Little J’s raccoon eyes are so back.

Marchesa designer Georgina Chapman, (remember, Keren’s just the co-founder), is the new “guest designer” for Garrard.

The long term partnership starts now, but the first collection drops during Spring 10’s New York Fashion Week, probably around the necks and wrists of models wearing very pretty dresses.

Georgina said, “Jewelry is so interesting because, like fashion, it has a history. People have long been ornamenting their bodies.”

We picture the jewels big and extremely girly - the kind of thing that screams costume but costs millions. They will pair well with the dresses, whatever they’ll look like a year from now, but we kind of wish Georgina would separate the two and continue to feature new, and sometimes contrasting, jewelry designs on her runways, (or in her presentation spaces).

Also, on an entirely different note, isn’t this when Rachel Zoe’s jewelry line will debut? She and Georgina will make for the most glamorous competition ever.

Is getting a lipstick named after you the new replacement for getting your own bag?

Stila’s following in the footsteps of Behnaz Sarafpour/Gucci Westman and Tinsley/Dior, and giving the Marchesa girls their own lipstick shades.

After doing the makeup for Marchesa’s last four seasons, Stila’s finally let Georgina and Keren try their hand at picking out some colors for the face.

The Georgina will be a sheer red, the Keren’s a nude color, and the very fall-appropriate berry is named after Talia Shobrook, the makeup artist who helped create Backstage Beauty Collection, the limited-edition line Stila’s made using the colors from Marchesa’s Fall 2008 show.

The Marchesa lipsticks are permanent additions for Stila, retailing at $22 each.

Look for them in seriously every magazine ever come August - Stila is a well-known beauty editor favorite.
