Marlene Stewart has had a long and presitigious career in the entertainment industry, lending her services to many hit pictures. Born in Boston, Massachusetts, Stewart relocated to California to study at the University of California at Berkeley. She moved to Europe, before once again relocating to New York to study at the Fashion Institute of Technology. She then transferred to the Los Angeles Fashion Institute, where she began her own clothing label, Covers. The business was extremely successful, and while working for the clothing line, she met a young Madonna. Marlene designed clothing for some of Madonna's most popular music videos, including those for "Vogue", "Material Girl", "Like A Prayer" and "Express Yourself." Due to the recognition from the Madonna videos, she went on to design costumes for other musicians such as Cher, Janet Jackson, Rod Stewart, Bette Midler, the Smashing Pumpkins, and Paula Abdul.
