Paul and Maurice Marciano grew up in Marseilles, France and moved to Los Angeles in 1981, where they founded a small denim company that developed into the iconic denim lifestyle brand, GUESS?, Inc. Both brothers have been instrumental in the growth and prosperity of the company, with Maurice serving as Chairman and CEO from 1993-2007, and continuing to serve as a Director of the Company. Paul served as co-CEO alongside Maurice and continues to serve as Executive Chairman of the Board and Chief Creative Officer for GUESS.
Growing up in the South of France, the Marciano brothers developed a love for red wine early in life. Maurice's passion for wine led him to Napa Valley, where he acquired a historic property on the outskirts of St. Helena and undertook creating his own winery estate. Embarking on a total overhaul, Maurice painstakingly re-planted the vineyard, built a winery and added groves of Italian and Spanish olive trees to create his own signature blend of extra virgin olive oil. Marciano Estate now stands as one of the finest wine growing and olive oil estates of Napa Valley.
In June, 2013, their love of wine led the brothers to purchase Wally's Wine and Spirits, the landmark purveyor of wine and spirits in Los Angeles. In December, 2014, they expanded Wally's into Beverly Hills, where the wine store is complemented by a gourmet food store, a wine tasting bar and restaurant. Wally's Santa Monica followed in 2017, and Wally’s Las Vegas opened at Resorts World Las Vegas in 2021.
"This is everything that we enjoy the most in life and want to share it with everybody" Maurice has said of the Beverly Hills location.
