With just one week to go
Georgina Chapman will no longer be showing her fashion brand Marchesa's latest collection at New York Fashion Week. The cancellation comes at last minute as her show was scheduled for 14th February, was cancelled last minute, and there are rumours the designer wasn't ready.
According to the New York Post, an insider told them, 'Georgina couldn’t go through with it, she was too scared. They were gung-ho . . . but as they got closer, she choked.'
It's expected the new collection will be instead be shown in a digital format, with a spokesperson saying, 'Marchesa is looking forward to presenting their Fall ’18 collection in an updated format this season.'
This would've been a comeback of sorts for Georgina Chapman, who hasn't been seen since it was announced she would divorce Harvey Weinstein after he was accused of decades of sexual harassment.
Actresses like Felicity Huffman and Sienna Miller also said Weinstein threatened to sabotage their careers if they didn't to wear his wife's designs on the red carpet.
Georgina said at the time, 'My heart breaks for all the women who have suffered tremendous pain because of these unforgivable actions. I have chosen to leave my husband. Caring for my young children is my first priority and I ask the media for privacy at this time.'
