Talking Babies, Project Runway All Stars, and the Possibility of a Marchesa Line for Kids with Georgina Chapman
By Bianca Posterli December 13,2012
To add to her busy schedule, Chapman and her design partner, Keren Craig took part in a documentary all about their brand, aptly titled Project Runway Spotlight: Marchesa. In anticipation of of the special, we chatted with Chapman about the judging process, her dream guest judge, and the possibility of a Marchesa line for children! On what to expect in the documentary: There were no curveballs because I lived it. It was interesting seeing life like a fly on the wall. It’s a strange thing to sit back and see yourself in the mirror like that. As far as surprises that’s my day-to-day life and it’s pretty accurate what they depict. On leaving her own personal taste out of judging: I don’t even compare it to my own work because people have different aesthetics. That’s what I love about being a judge. I get exposed to different ideas and views and I find that exciting. I can appreciate construction and design detail. I can like something even though I would never design it or wear it. That’s not to say I don’t like it. On her dream guest judge: Sadly she’s passed, but I would love to have had Isabella Blow [on the show.] On expanding Marchesa for children: I would love to one day but I don’t know if I will anytime soon. On how pregnancy affects the design process: I sometimes feel at my most creative when I’m pregnant because I am physically creating. I just keep going – the show must go on. Obviously some days you’re more tired than you would be. I love tapping into that energy because I feel [creativity] is what my entire physical being is about right now. On her daugther’s love for fashion: She loves fashion already. She strokes the dresses and says, ‘Beautiful dresses, mummy.’ Glam Editor BlogsLatest PostsStar Scoop: Anne Hathaway Broadway Bound, Jon Hamm to Host ESPYs, Nicole Kidman Takes on the Ca...
