Designer Leanne Marshall debuted her FW16 collection on the runway at The Gallery, Skylight Clarkson Square in Manhattan on Feb. 13. Read on for highlights from the show and click through the slideshow to see the looks from Marshall's newest collection.

MOOD/INSPIRATION: Marshall sent dozens of models down the runway wearing gowns designed in her signature tulle, sheer organza and silk chiffon with hints of rich velvet.

Small grommet details and white rope drawstrings were seen on a few of the pieces and might have been a nod to Marshall's mysterious inspiration concept. When we spoke with the designer backstage, Marshall said, "I'm sort of playing a game with people about the inspiration. There's a very distinct inspiration for me, but I want to see if people can get it."

She did offer a hint:

"The hint is that it's something very prevalent in my life and it has more to do with a particular space that I go to that has given me every single idea for this collection. So it's really an homage to this particular thing. That's all I can say," stated the designer.

We can only surmise that the clothing could very well be inspired by the designer's home city of Portland, Ore. -- perhaps when the fall colors are in season?

COLOR PALETTE: Black, gold, burgundy, bronze and rust-colored dresses made up the color palette of Marshall's collection. Gauzy white and silvery gowns and marigold silk separates provided fresh accent colors to the rich autumnal tones.

KEY PIECES: Marshall's ultimate statement piece was also the closer -- a full-skirted silver tulle gown. The designer's lace and hand-embroidered gowns were another high point of the collection and showcased Marshall's craftsmanship.

ACCESSORIES: Accessories were kept to the absolute minimum; models sported leather lace-up ankle boots and zippered booties.

IN ATTENDANCE: Miss Universe 2015 Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach, recording artist Solomon Ray and actress Ta'Rhonda Jones were in attendance.Read more at:formal dresses
