Mary McFadden is sometimes described as a "design archaeologist." Her years of extensive world travel formed her fashion vocabulary, which shows the influence of Egyptian, Greek, Celtic, Byzantine, Pre-Columbian, Indian, and African cultures. While working at Vogue, she was encouraged by the editors to start her own design line. She was quickly picked up by the innovative Henri Bendel, who featured her batik coats and quilted fencing jackets.
