Since allegations of sexual assault and harassment were publicly leveled against movie producer Harvey Weinstein , hes been fired from his studio and will likely be persona non grata in Hollywood.

His wife, British fashion design Georgina Chapman, is also facing backlash and uncertainty surrounding her fashion label, Marchesa, which has become a red carpet mainstay thanks in part to their relationship.

Weinstein has been married for 10 years to Chapman, who launched her brand in 2004 alongside her business partner Keren Craig. Despite his statements to the contrary , his Hollywood connections have played an integral role in catapulting the fantastical fashion brand to its current star status. Weinstein has produced countless award-winning movies, many of which have been honored at awards shows to which the actresses in those movies have worn Marchesa gowns.

In a 2007 New York Times article, Ruth La Ferla compared Chapman and Craigs fast success to something of a fairy tale : Two designers with no fashion credentials to boast of quickly became a red carpet mainstay after Rene Zellweger opted to wear a dress of their design to the London premiere of Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason in 2004. The movie was produced by Miramax, Weinsteins production company at the time.
