There's a reason the who's who of the social scene boast closets full of Markarian - no one does soiree-ready style quite like designer Alexandra O'Neill. 

Even First Lady Jill Biden is a fan.

Inspired by her late grandmother, O'Neill's Fall/Winter 2023 collection is an ode to timeless glamour, recalling the days (well, nights) when hitting the town called for dressing to the nines and embracing elegance from head to toe.

At Markarian's presentation this week - a party in itself - models floated amid gilded candelabras and crystal chandeliers in a West Village townhouse overflowing with wildflowers. They donned feminine frocks and romantic silhouettes, draped in sumptuous silks, glittering embellishments, and ornate hand-detailed brocades. 

Whether you've got one big event on the horizon, or a social calendar filled with black-tie bashes on the regular, you're sure to find your favorite new wardrobe staple in this gorgeous new collection.
