We caught up with the design duo behind Marchesa at a glamourous party held in their honor at NYC's famed Plaza Hotel. Here's what Project Runway: All Stars judge Georgina Chapman and her design partner Keren Craig had to say about the collection:

OK!: How did you get involved with Revlon?

Georgina Chapman: Well we were approached by Revlon and we just thought it was such a natural partner for us. They believe in empowering women through beauty, and I think that's what we like to think we do at Marchesa too.

Keren Craig: Yeah, we wanted to do something glamourous and we wanted to translate some of the ideas of the beading from the dresses and the intricacies of the dresses to the nails.

OK!: It's a little different that doing a regular old nail collection. Why did you decide to create the appliqués instead of just polish?

GC: Well I think as Keren said, it seemed a very obvious way to get our embroideries and our aesthetic into the beauty world. It doesn't really translate into specific colors.
