Georgina Rose Chapman (born 14 April 1976) is an English fashion designer and actress. She was a regular cast member on Project Runway All Stars and, together with Keren Craig, is a co-founder of the fashion label Marchesa. Chapman was married to film producer Harvey Weinstein before leaving him in 2017 in the wake of allegations of sexual abuse against him.

Life and career

[edit]

Chapman was born in Hammersmith, London, England, the daughter of Caroline Wonfor, a journalist, and Brian Chapman, a co-owner of the coffee company Percol.[1][2] Chapman grew up in Richmond, London. Chapman attended Marlborough College in Wiltshire.[3] In her 20s, Chapman modelled in an advertisement for Head & Shoulders, a dandruff shampoo, and one for throat lozenges Soothers.[4] Chapman met future business partner Keren Craig while they were students at Chelsea College of Art and Design.[5] Chapman graduated from Wimbledon School of Art in 2001 and began her career as a costume designer.[6] After graduation, Chapman appeared in various television shows and films.

In 2004, she and Craig launched Marchesa, named after socialite Marchesa Luisa Casati.[5] Investors include Giuseppe Cipriani and Steve Witkoff.[7] In 2006, the label was named one of the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund's top 10 finalists.[8] According to the 2015 Sunday Times Rich List, Chapman has a net worth of £15 million.[9] From 2012 to 2019, Chapman was a judge on the Weinstein-produced TV show Project Runway: All Stars.[10]

In May 2019, Chapman's design for an evening gown was featured in the 2019 Met Gala in New York as worn by Hollywood actress Constance Wu on the runway and staircase for the event.[11]

Personal life

[edit]

Chapman was born with femoral anteversion, commonly known as being 'pigeon-toed', as the condition causes her toes to point inward while walking. At the age of eight, she was also diagnosed with dyslexia. She is good friends with actor David Oyelowo, whom she has known since she was 18.[12]

Chapman and film producer Harvey Weinstein[13] began dating in 2004, prior to his separation from his first wife[14][15] and married on 15 December 2007 in Connecticut, US. They have two children.[16] On 10 October 2017, Chapman announced she was divorcing Weinstein after more than 100 women made accusations of rape, assault, or sexual harassment against him.[17][18][19][12] They reached a settlement in January 2018 and their divorce was finalized in July 2021.[20]

Since at least early 2020, she has been in a relationship with American actor Adrien Brody.[21]
