At Marchesa Show, Harvey's Girl Wishes Halston Well

The Bergdorf Goodman parade of trunk shows continues, and today it was Marchesa's turn. Designers Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig were there to talk about their line of feathered, beaded gowns, seen often at red-carpet events. But we were more interested in asking them about a different label. Chapman dates Harvey Weinstein — which might have something to do with why you see their designs on those red carpets so frequently — and Harvey just bought Halston. A new opportunity for the Marchesa girls, perhaps? "That’s nothing to do with us,” Craig was quick to say. And Chapman was quick to position it as someone else's project. "I’m very excited for them," she said of the new Halston family. "I think Tamara" — that's Tamara Mellon, the fashion exec Weinstein installed to run the brand — "is a fantastically talented woman. I mean, what she’s done with Jimmy Choo is just incredible, and, um, I keep my fingers crossed for them.” Got that? For them. Not for her.
