Linda Fargo

Linda Fargo is the senior vice president (since 2006) of the fashion office and the director of women's fashion and store presentation for the Bergdorf Goodman department store in New York City.[1]

She grew up in the suburbs of Milwaukee and received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Wisconsin–Madison.[2] After her move to New York, she started as a window dresser at Macy’s, eventually rising to become the visual director.[3]

In 2013 she was featured in the documentary Scatter My Ashes at Bergdorf's (the title lifted from the caption of a 1990 Victoria Roberts cartoon that appeared in pages of The New Yorker).[4] Variety said of Fargo in its review of the film, "Bergdorf's charismatic fashion director, Linda Fargo, described as a warmer, friendlier Anna Wintour, effortlessly commands centerstage for long stretches as she vets new designers' collections for kindly 'maybe later' rejection or 'welcome to the family' acceptance."[5]
