It's generally understood among people who generally understand this sort of thing that the only reason award-show-going actresses wear designs from upstart UK fashion duo Marchesa is that the brunette Georgina Chapman half of the company is banging Harvey Weinstein. Today, the Times saddles up the elephant in the room and rides it around the petting zoo, getting plenty of fashion insiders to subtly imply that Marchesa would be nothing without the Miramax heavyweight's fiscal support and strong-army influence. But what does Harvey make of the haters? "The people who say things like that are just jealous. It takes away from the talent that Marchesa has exemplified." Talent for what, though, he didn't say.

Spoken with the grit of a woman who treks four flights of stairs each day to a design studio in the meatpacking district

Four flights of stairs? Four fucking flights of stairs?

That's not grit darling, that's sparkly pixie dust sprinkled on her from on high by the Fairy King of the Luxurious Pussies.

Marchesa dresses are pretty hideous (unless you want to look like a giant sparkly disco-ball/greek goddess from outer space).

I would love to see Rodarte catch some of Marchesa's unearned celebrity. Now those are some gorgeous dresses.

Whatever happened to the days when all the designers were unattractive folks who dress in simple black but designed fabulous clothes? Now all the "designers" look like actresses. Though is does seem that the prettier the designer, the uglier their gear is.

Fuckers stole one of my samplehands. Said samplehand tells me Georgina is above talking to the staff (but Harvey isn't!) and she screeeaaammms all day long. I'd scream too if my shit were that ugly. Die.
