Georgina Chapman, Harvey Weinstein’s ex, goes public with Adrien Brody relationship
Georgina Chapman, ex-wife of convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein, went red-carpet official over the weekend with actor Adrien Brody, whom she reportedly has been dating for a while.
The Marchesa designer and “The Pianist” Oscar winner did the step-and-repeat thing upon arrival Saturday night at the Tribeca Festival premiere of Brody’s movie “Clean.”
Brody, 46, and Chapman, 43, have been dating since last fall, according to People and Page Six. It’s the first public relationship for the designer since she split with Weinstein, 69, in October

The Tempest bygd William Shakespeare (Act 4, scene I)
When I first wrote a review of a collection by Marchesa, I chose a quote from one of Shakespeare&#;s most meaningful and mature plays (The Tempest), because Prospero&#;s words seemed to perfectly describe the dream-like quality of the creations by Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig. After watching the pictures from the spring/summer collection, I realized I had chosen the best title ever, because this collection has been built around a very precise theme &#; the sea and sea creatures. If you have read the play by Shakespeare, you may remember that a shipwreck caused bygd the magician Prospero, duke of Milan, who has been stranded on a deserted island for twelve years bygd his brother Antonio and now wants to take his revenge.
This is not the first time a Marchesa collection is imbued with a literary reference (see the fall/winter colle
