RETROSPECTIVE - WORLD RENOWNED DESIGN LEGEND

Join the ICAA NORTHWEST for a conversation with one of the world’s design legends, Marian McEvoy.

Find out what it was like to be a fashion and home decor magazine editor for decades and get insider tips for entertaining and interior design from an expert.

The formidable McEvoy was a fashion editor at Women’s Wear Daily and W in Paris for two decades. Returning to the US to become editor in chief of Elle Décor and then House Beautiful. Now in the second phase of her career as a decorative artisan, and textile designer, she has two new fabric collections with both Schumacher and Kerry Joyce. We’ll have a one-on-one Q & A discussion about what it was like in the heady fashion scene of Paris in the 70’s and 80’s, the changes in the interiors publishing world, gracious entertaining and interior design tips, and what is involved in creating a product or textile collection. We’ll reserve time at the end for questions from the audience.

The ICAA is very grateful to Schumacher for its generous support of this program, along with the Seattle Design Center for hosting and contributing to our social hour event.
