Marchesa is an elegant avant-garde women's wear line named after 20th century socialite, heiress and muse: Marchesa Luisa Casati (1881-1957). The brilliant equipped visionaries for Marchesa label were none other than British born inspiring designers Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig who originally crossed paths at Chelsea College of Art and Design in London. Equally, Georgina was a graduate of the Wimbledon School of Art & began her career as a costume designer, well Keren, on the other hand, graduated from Brighton Art College in 2000 and where she primarily focused on print and embroidery design. With the sophisticated workmanship of Georgina’s draping and design paired with Keren’s detailed textile creations, they decided to join forces in 2004 resulting in the establishment of Marchesa. As companion, their memorizing craftsmanship, immaculate ultra feminine illustrations have made them one of the most sawed after, go-to line for the celebrity elite for red carpet season. The Marchesa label has recently ventured into new territories expanding it's line by recently launching a handbag line, an elaborate collection of sovereign wedding dresses and even partnered with Lenox to launch a dinnerware collection. Yet, through all of their success, Chapman & Craig have been able to hold true to the Marchesa name by Luisa’s famous lifestyle quote, that is: “I want to be a living work of art” ; a mad & wild un-contemporary being with a bold and undying imagination.
