Mary McFadden 2 piece.

Ok when was the last time you heard the name Mary McFadden? For me it’s been to long to count, but I have to say I was pleased that I found this 2 piece dress. When I gathered up this dress it made me think of the time, about 15 years ago, when I found a pair of womens Mary McFadden sunglasses. They looked like something Roy Orbison would have worn, they were so big and stylish. I gave them to my mom which by the way she still wears and loves. With an artist’s sensitivity to color, harmony, and proportion, Mary McFadden successfully designed original clothing for nearly 20 years. Her distinctive garments reflect an avid study of ancient and ethnic cultures. When VOGUE featured McFadden’s simple tunics made of African prints and Oriental silks, clothes she had fashioned for herself out of necessity during her years spent in Africa, the effect created sensation. When I photographed this outfit you’ll notice I didn’t put the 2 pieces together,

that’s because I would style this separately. I would have my client wear the top, with a pair of stiletto heel shoe boots by Lanvin. If I had to style my client using the skirt then I would put this gorgeous Fendi blouse together. Now I would only pray that I could find the Lanvin & Fendi at some thrift store. This 2 piece Mary McFadden cost me $6.29. Please don’t forget to check out The Thrifters Boutique on the top right side for your pleasure. Toodles for now. Daniel
