Marchesa cancels New York Fashion Week show

Friendly reminder that Marchesa has been in hot water since the Harvey Weinstein scandal broke last year. The movie producer, who is the soon-to-be ex-husband of Marchesa's co-designer Georgina Chapman, has essentially taken the brand down with him. While Marchesa was once a red carpet staple and one of the most coveted tickets at Fashion Week, since the scandal broke they have had difficulty distancing themselves from Weinstein's issues of sexual assault, reflecting poorly on their business. Over 80 actresses have accused the co-founder of The Weinstein Company of sexual assault and harassment. He is also being investigated by New York and California police for rape.
