Life and career
[edit | edit source]Chapman was born in Hammersmith and grew up in Richmond, London. She is the daughter of Caroline Wonfor, a journalist, and Brian Chapman, a co-owner of the coffee company Percol.[1][2] Chapman attended Marlborough College in Wiltshire.[3] In her 20s, Chapman modelled in an advertisement for Head & Shoulders and for the throat lozenge Soothers.[4] Chapman met future business partner Keren Craig while they both were students at Chelsea College of Art and Design.[5] Chapman graduated from Wimbledon School of Art in 2001 and began her career as a costume designer.[6] After graduation, Chapman appeared in various television shows and films.
In 2004, she and Craig launched Marchesa, named after socialite Marchesa Luisa Casati.[5] Investors include Giuseppe Cipriani and Steve Witkoff.[7] In 2006, the label was named one of the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund's top 10 finalists.[8] According to the 2015 Sunday Times Rich List, Chapman has a net worth of £15 million.[9] From 2012 to 2019, Chapman was a judge on the Weinstein-produced TV show Project Runway: All Stars.[10]
In May 2019, Chapman's design for an evening gown was featured in the 2019 Met Gala in New York as worn by Hollywood actress Constance Wu on the runway and staircase for the event.[11]
Personal life
[edit | edit source]Chapman and film producer Harvey Weinstein[12] began dating in 2004, before he separated from his first wife.[13][14] They married on 15 December 2007 in Connecticut. They have two children.[15] On 10 October 2017, Chapman announced she was divorcing Weinstein after more than 100 women made accusations of rape, assault, or sexual harassment against him.[16][17][18][19][20] They reached a settlement in January 2018 and their divorce was finalized in July 2021.[21]
