Delhi's fashionistas were in stylishly high spirits as New York based luxury fashion label Marchesa was launched in collaboration with lounge and bar 'The Blue Bar', which also celebrated its fifth anniversary, at Taj Palace on Friday.

The evening was a pleasant mix of flowing champagne and cascading dresses, as models sashayed down the ramp marked with delicate French garden archways. Ballgown dresses from the a/w 2013 collection were on display with intricate lacework, floral embroidery and yards of rich fabric being the highlights of the collection. Sexy and feminine, the dresses were well-suited for formal occasions and red- carpet sightings.

Model- turned- actress Lisa Haydon was showstopper for the label, and she looked gorgeous and sophisticated in a strapless black ball-gown with ornate gold embroidery on the waist. With her hair tied back in a low knot and strappy heels to complete the look, she cut an elegant picture in the bespoke creation.
