Mary McFadden is one of fashion’s true artisans, whose designs were inspired by exotic cultures and historical references.  The “Delphos” Fortuny pleat was the inspiration for Mary McFadden’s synthetic Marii pleat.  The Marii textile is her signature fabric treatment, and the example shown at the CFDA exhibit at the Boca Raton Museum was  one of her Marii gowns.  Here is a selection of OgoVintage Mary McFadden Marii pleated dresses and gowns, some of which are currently for sale at OgoVintage.
