Compared with the ornate confections Chapman and Craig are best known for, though, these resort dresses are downright minimal. Craig is handling  the retail side and concentrates on details. Marchesa is for girlie girls, all grown up and swathed in white ostrich-plume dresses tied with black satin sashes.
