mary mcfadden : goddesses

from washingtonpost.com –

"michelle obama isn't the only one bringing fashion to washington. the national museum of women in the arts will showcase the works of fashion designer mary mcfadden, who has more than 100 collections to her name. the exhibition explores the inspiration mcfadden drew from a slew of ancient cultures, including greece, dynastic china and africa. (march 20-aug. 30)"

extremely thrilled to view this exhibition, as mcfadden's works are described to be a true collaboration of style and culture – giving credibility to the term “fashion is art.”
