On January 19, 2021, a fashion model filed a complaint against GUESS and its co-founder and director Paul Marciano, alleging that “GUESS has known for over a decade that Paul Marciano is a recidivist sexual predator, and has chosen to harbor and enable him as he devastates women’s lives. Instead of listening to at least seven women who went on the record against its Founder, Board member and Chief Creative Officer, GUESS has kept Marciano at its helm, allowing him to continue to use his prestigious position to lure and sexually assault more young female models.”

The complaint, Jane Doe v. Paul Marciano, GUESS?, Inc., et al., alleges that “GUESS has been on notice since at least 2009 that Marciano sexually harasses and assaults female models,” that Marciano was sued in 2009 by a model, and GUESS “publicly settled five more sexual assault claims against him in 2018 for $500,000.”
