Life and career
As teenagers, Craig met future partner Georgina Chapman while they were both students at Chelsea College of Art and Design. Craig graduated from Brighton Art College in 2000 with a BA (Hons) in Fashion Textiles with Business and afterwards concertrated on print and embroidery design. This included freelance printmaking at Calvin Klein and Dolce & Gabbana.
In 2004, Craig and Chapman launched Marchesa which is named after socialite Marchesa Luisa Casati. Investors of the brand include Giuseppe Cipriani and Steve Witkoff. In 2006, the label was named one of the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund's top ten finalists.
As Director of Textile Design, Keren lends her vast knowledge of textiles, embroideries and beadwork to complement Georgina’s expertise in design and draping, resulting in the couture-level handcraftsmanship and attention to detail the brand is known for.
Her mother is the animator Bobbie Spargo, and her grandfather is Nicholas Spargo, creator of Willo The Wisp.
