Harpers Bazaar March 2009



On what husband Harvey Weinstein’s reaction would be if she dressed like this in real-life:
“I think my husband might be a bit upset if I walked the cheetahs out naked in the West Village at night.”

On her namesake, Marchesa Luisa Casati: “Perhaps if she were alive today, she would be a designer.” and “She squandered all of her money. Millions and millions. It’s a good take on what’s happening now [in the world]. Her life was one of complete excess; then she had to reassess everything.”

Marchesa launches with an Indian-inspired cocktail party

”I’ve seen India from many perspectives,” Georgina Chapman, “as a backpacker, with a friend who was maharaja’s relative, and, well, with Harvey…”’’
”Oh, my god! Do you remember that suite?” interjects Keren Craig.
”It was at the Oberoi Rajvilãs,” says chapman. “There was a private pool practically in the room!” The British best friends, both 31, who met at London’s Chelsea College of Art and Design and now create the Marchesa and Notte labels, are standing in Allison Sarafim’s West Village townhouse foyer. Sarofim is a multiplatform maven known for her arts philanthropy, her movie-biz moxie (she just coproduced a Sissy Spacek film), and, most relevantly this evening, party throwing.
The occasion: an intimate dinner in honor of Chapman and Craig’s spring line and, inadvertently, a public farewell to Ms. Chapman. Her Connecticut wedding to the aforementioned Harvey, as in Weinstein, the film mogul Pulp Fiction, coincides with the collection’s completion and, thus, this dinner.
Helpfully, wedding stress—it’s a few weeks away and Chapman hasn’t finished sewing her own gown—make’s tonight’s cohosting anxieties minor. Still, the female guests—beauties such as Hana Soupkova, Ann Dexter-Jones (mom to the deejaying, designing Ronson brood), and gallerist Larry Gagosian’s girlfriend Shala Monroque—have each chosen a swingy, bejeweled Marchesa sparkler to wear; if they don’t look drop-dead, or if a seam splits, the responsible parties are right there. “It’s always scary and thrilling to see the clothes live!” Craig says.
In 2004, Chapman was designing costumes while modeling and acting in film and TV on the side and Craig was designing textiles when Alexander McQueen muse Isabella Blow noticed their homemade dresses at an event and encouraged them to go into business. Weinstein Co. has helped them financially, and, of course, personally (smooch) so when stars such as Jennifer Lopez and Cate Blanchett pranced down the red carpet in Marchesa, the media cynically sniped about the designer’s warp-speed success. No doubt the connections help, but modeling their own work tonight, it’s clear the friends have hit on something. They’ve solved a sartorial paradox: how to look both demure and stunning.
