Mary McFadden Honored With Visionary Woman Award
PHILADELPHIA (CBS 3) ―
The Moore College of Art and Design's 2008 Visionary Woman
award went to legendary fashion designer Mary McFadden.
On Wednesday, September 24 the Moore College
honored the designer whose talents in textile design, jewelry, costume
crafting, interior styling and most notably women's fashion were recognized and
admired by the likes of women such as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
McFadden is the thirteenth Visionary Woman honoree in the
school's 160-year history, a distinction that reflects Moore College's
history as the first and only women's visual arts college.
The event, which was moderated by Lorie Mertes, Rochelle
F. Levy Director and Chief Curator of the Galleries at Moore, featured the
inaugural series of lectures entitled "Visionary Voices: Conversations on
Art & Culture."
