is skipping out on New York Fashion Week this September and will instead show in London.


According to WWD, Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig, the English design duo behind the brand, have decided to take their spring 2015 show to London to celebrate Marchesa's 10th year in business.


'We had been speaking with the British Fashion Council. We felt it was a good way to celebrate our anniversary,' Chapman said.


The date of the London Fashion Week show and the venue it will take place in have not yet been determined, but it sounds as if Chapman and Craig have something special planned.


'It will be a different experience. All our English friends and family can get an opportunity to celebrate with us,' Chapman said.


But New Yorkers who look forward to attending the Marchesa show every season shouldn't worry - the brand will be back in the Big Apple next year to present its fall 2015 collection.


'It's a one-off celebration in London, and then we are back [in New York] in February,' Craig said.


Earlier this year, Marchesa announced its plans to launch a collection of fine jewelry. In April, Chapman and Craig revealed that they had signed a licensing deal with Prestige Jewelry. The design duo's debut jewelry collection, which is slated to launch for the holiday season, will be created to complement Marchesa's bridal collection.


'Our bridal business is growing rapidly over the past few years, so it seems like a natural fit to offer jewelry in the market,' Chapman told WWD.


The line will be made up of 20 styles. Engagement rings and wedding bands will be the focus of the collection, but stud earrings, pendants and solitaire stones will also be included. Prices for items in the collection will range from $2,000 to more than $20,000.
