Marchesa is a brand specializing in high end womenswear, established in 2004 by Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig.
The brand can often be seen to have luxury Indian clothes and design elements infused, such as high-end textiles, embroideries, beadwork, craftsmanship and detailing such as Zardozi among others found in Indian couture, as Indian fashion serves as inspiration for the designers who also source their material and design elements from there.
The brand has been worn by a number of Hollywood actresses on the red carpet including: Penélope Cruz, Blake Lively, Jennifer Lopez, Kate Hudson, Cameron Diaz, Selena Gomez, Halle Berry, Leighton Meester, Eva Longoria, Miley Cyrus, Emma Watson, Olivia Wilde, Kristen Stewart, Nikki Reed and Hailee Steinfeld.
