It started with Renée Zellweger, who slipped into a sweet, knee-skimming party dress for the 2004 London premiere of Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason. Photos of Zellweger made the gossip pages, but it was her frock, burnt orange and flecked with gold, that had everyone buzzing. At that moment, Marchesa, then just seven months old, became a starlet darling, and its founding duo, designer Georgina Chapman and her business partner, Keren Craig, fashion stars. Chapman has since turned out jewel-toned gowns in all manner of silhouettes, from full skirts to Grecian columns, swiftly establishing her label as a serious player in the red-carpet sweepstakes. Still, the savvy founders know that actresses aren’t the only market to corner: In April they unveiled an off-the-rack
wedding collection, ensuring that the betrothed
can get a piece of that Hollywood magic too.
