Marchesa

Marchesa is named after socialite Marchesa Luisa Casati. British born Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig met at Chelsea College of Art and Design in London. Georgina began her career as a costume designer. Keren focused on print and embroidery design. Georgina’s draping and design paired with Keren’s textile creations resulted in the establishment of Marchesa in 2004. The company produces a couture collection, as well as a diffusion collection known as Notte by Marchesa.[wikipedia]
