Red Carpet Revolt: Can Georgina's Brand Survive the Scandal?

"Next up is the Golden Globes, and no one is going to wear it because they don't want to answer the question, 'Why?' " says stylist Tod Hallman, who remembers Weinstein's strong-arm tactics from the early days of Marchesa, which launched in 2004, including the time he pushed Felicity Huffman, then starring in The Weinstein Co.'s Transamerica, to wear Marchesa to the 2006 Globes. Since the Weinstein story broke Oct. 5, not a single star has been seen wearing Marchesa, according to Spotted, which tracks brands that celebrities wear by analyzing paparazzi and social media photos. [...]Chapman, 41, has made no public appearance since debuting the brand's Fall 2018 bridal line on Oct. 6, unusual during New York's fall social season. The stakes are high for Marchesa, a privately held apparel brand available at more than 75 points of sale worldwide and at more than 10 websites (it has never released sales or profit numbers).
