"Mary McFadden draws her inspiration almost entirely from the artistry of ancient civilizations. She is one of the most exotic, unconventional designers in the United States today. A "design archaeologist" at heart, McFadden celebrates ancient Near Eastern, African, Classical Greek, Javanese, Pre-Columbian, Dynastic Chinese, Japanese and Korean cultures and incorporates their ideas and expressions into her couture designs. McFadden's creations showcase royal colors, rich fabrics, and detailed embroidery. The art of ancient civilizations in literally woven into her fabrics." "This first complete portrait of the artist is published to coincide with the first museum retrospective of designs by this American fashion icon."--Jacket.
