Timeline

1952

Paul Marciano (born c. 1952) is a French-American fashion designer, businessman, investor, and philanthropist.

He is the co-founder of Guess? Inc; his black-and-white advertisements have won numerous Clio awards.

Initially run by all four Marciano brothers (Paul, Armand, Maurice and Georges), today the company and its extension lines, Marciano and G by Guess, are handled by Paul and Maurice.

He is also a large benefactor to one of the larger Sephardic synagogues in Los Angeles, Em Habanim.

Paul Marciano was born around 1952 in Debdou, French Morocco to a Jewish family and raised in Marseille, France with his four siblings, Georges, Armand, Maurice and Jacqueline.

His father, grandfather, and great-grandfather were rabbis.

They lived in an apartment in a synagogue complex.

From ages 8–15, Paul, along with his brothers, was a member of the Éclaireurs israelites de France, a Jewish boy scout group which was located in the same complex.

At 15, he and a friend were involved in a motorcycle accident when they collided with an oncoming car.

After being told he would never walk again, he spent seven months in a wheelchair.

He eventually regained full use of his limbs after a year and a half, but was not re-accepted into school due to his prolonged absence.

Unable to finish his education, he traveled to Israel to live in a kibbutz.

Marciano worked in his family's clothing company, MGA (which stood for Maurice Georges Armand), with shops in French Riviera.

1977

The Marciano brothers, Paul, Georges, Armand, and Maurice, visited Southern California during an extended leave in 1977, and developed an appreciation for the area.

1980

They also ran an MGA on Little Santa Monica in Beverly Hills in the early 1980s.

The brothers soon started the world-famous clothing company Guess.

1981

After political changes in France in 1981 and the rise to power of socialist François Mitterrand, the Marcianos closed MGA and moved to the United States.

In 1981, the Marciano brothers founded Guess Jeans.

1983

In 1983, they sold a 50% stake in Guess Jeans to the Nakash Brothers (Joseph "Joe" Nakash, Abraham "Avi" Nakash, and Raphael "Ralph" Nakash) of New York.

1989

The joint venture soured and in 1989, a California superior court jury found that the Nakashes had fraudulently lured the Marcianos into the transaction.

1990

In 1990, the Nakash brothers settled for $66 million of $106 million escrowed profits and the ownership of the brand name "Gasoline" while the Marciano brothers received the brand "Diesel."

1993

Paul Marciano first handled advertising and public relations and later became president and chief operating officer of the company in 1993.

1996

His first wife was model and photographer Kymberly Marciano; they had two children Nicolai (born 1996) and Ella (born 1994) before divorcing.

2004

In 2004, Paul and Maurice Marciano together owned close to 70 percent of the 44 million shares.

2008

Marciano had previously been accused of sexual harassment in 2008 and 2009, after model Lindsay Ring filed a suit that stated Marciano "began to create a hostile work environment for Ms. Ring by making sexual comments to her, repeatedly touching her inappropriately and without her consent, and attempting on at least two occasions to fondle her sexually after taking her to a private area at the worksite."

He became Executive Chairman and remained Guess' chief creative officer.

2013

Along with his brother Maurice, Paul Marciano joined forces in 2013 with Steve Tisch and World Wrestling Entertainment in backing Hero Ventures, a Los Angeles entertainment start-up.

In 2013, the Maurice and Paul Marciano Art Foundation paid $8 million to buy the former Scottish Rite Masonic Temple on Wilshire Boulevard, which the two brothers plan to turn into a private museum designed by architect Kulapat Yantrasast.

With 90,000 ft2 over four floors, it is almost as large as the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles and intended to house the Marcianos' 1,000-piece collection.

In order to avoid any conflicts of interest with Maurice Marciano's subsequent co-chairmanship of MOCA, the project was temporarily put on hold.

2014

In 2014, Paul and his brother Maurice donated $5.2 million to the Friends of the Israel Defense Forces.

2016
