Harvey Weinstein’s Harassment Scandal Might Affect His Wife’s Brand, Marchesa

Harvey Weinstein’s wife, Georgina Chapman, has a very successful lifestyle brand called Marchesa (you may have heard of it). Well, apparently after all these sexual harassment claims against Harvey, Georgina’s brand is now in danger of being impacted.

“He’s going to get ostracized in the [fashion] business — at least for a while — and Marchesa could suffer, too,” one fashion exec said. “Then I wonder if she’ll still back him up . . . if she’ll even stay with him,” insiders say to Page Six. 

A fashion insider said: “Georgina always had a hard time pushing herself. For Harvey, promotion’s in his blood. [He] wasn’t exactly subtle about asking Miramax’s female stars to wear Marchesa on the red carpet. And if the studio chief of your movie, and potential movies, asked you to wear a certain designer, wouldn’t you want to accommodate him?”

Harvey’s power has been enormously influential to Marchesa’s success: “Georgina would never have met so many celebrities without being Harvey’s significant other,” said a top New York film publicist. “She’s lovely — as are her gowns — but that’s true of several designers.”
