Georgina Rose Chapman (born 14 April 1976) is an English fashion designer and actress. Together with Keren Craig, she is a co-founder of the fashion label Marchesa.
My family is my number one priority.
It's funny, because I sometimes feel that I'm most creative when I'm pregnant.
I went camping in the Maasai Mara and we moved site every night. I had no idea how spectacular it would be, how removed from ordinary life, or how many animals we would see.
It's good to talk to people and get ideas.
I love imagining being someone else in another time.
I always go to the Cannes Film Festival and it's just such a glamorous time.
My wedding was at home, so I didn't really want to wear a veil in my house. Instead I wore a lot of diamond hair clips. They were brooches, actually, designed by Lorraine Schwartz.
I love children. I've always loved children.
I'm an enormous fan of Ron Howard. I mean, he's the most extraordinary director.
I think it's very empowering to be able to have a career and to be a mother. It gives you an amazing sense of self.
I always have a camera now that I've got a kid, but I don't think I've got one picture of anyone other than my daughter.
What I love about my husband is that he really allows me to be the best person I can.
The Indians have such strong traditions and aesthetics, and the people are beautiful, as are their goods.
I enjoyed studying costume, learning about the corsetry and the historical context of fashion. I never had any real intention of being a costume designer.
I am a control freak.
Bridesmaids are never going to upstage the bride.
My great-grandfather was in the army in India, and we have photographs of my family there in full Victorian dress. They're incredibly romantic.
One of my most sentimental items is my grandmother's engagement ring that my mom gave me a few years ago. It's a Victorian-style setting that's closed in the back, so it doesn't sparkle the way diamonds do now. I wear it as a pendant.
I didn't finish my dress until about three days before my wedding - I had the flu and was stitching it from my bed. And the tulle came back from India all brown. We had to wash it for hours, but that didn't dissuade me from wearing it.
Sometimes if I can't sleep and I am up in the night, I will start researching things - it could be an image I've seen, or a book I am reading.
