Marchesa is a high-end fashion label co-founded by Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig in 2004. The label is named after socialite Marchesa Luisa Casati. British born Georgina and Keren met at Chelsea College of Art and Design in London. Georgina, a 2001 graduate of the Wimbledon School of Art, began her career as a costume designer. Keren graduated from Brighton Art College in 2000 and subsequently focused on print and embroidery design. Georgina’s draping and design expertise paired with Keren’s textile creations resulted in a business partnership and the establishment of Marchesa in 2004.
Elegant eveningwear, inspired by vintage and Asian influences, defines the Marchesa Collection. The beautifully crafted designs fuse high fashion with an eclectic aesthetic.
As described by New York Magazine,[1] the "look" of Marchesa is:
Pretty evening gowns that offer extra delicacy and detail make up the bulk of the collections. Far East–inspired embroidery, draping fabrics, and a modern, feminine perspective lend the label its distinctive look
In 2006, the label was named one of the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund's top ten finalists.[1] Based in London and New York, the Marchesa collection is presently available in Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman in the United States. The label is evident on many red carpet events, and fashion stylist to the stars Rachel Zoe uses Marchesa to style many of her clients.
