Design career.
In 1984, Marquit created a range of women's bras and underwear in fluorescent neon colored lace, which she sold to Bloomingdale's for $42,000. This was the first time that underwear in such bright colours was available. Marquit has since released underwear ranges in such fabrics as tie-dyed lace, fluorescent sheer mesh. and camouflage and animal prints. The fabrics in fluorescent colors are hand-dyed, and the products are made by hand. She has also designed clothes which show underwear, including open shirts and skirts split to the navel. She opened a boutique on New York's West 15th Street in 2006.
Marquit has designed underwear for the movie , and for celebrities including Michelle Pfeiffer and Madonna. A Deborah Marquit bra worth $2,545 was among other lingerie stolen from a photoshoot that Madonna did for "L'uomo vogue" in 2014. Marquit was commissioned by Tim Burton to make vinyl hot pants, shirts and mini-skirts to complement the underwear he had purchased for his girlfriend of the time, Lisa Marie. Designers Marc Jacobs and Ghost featured variations of her pink fluorescent lace bra in their runway shows in 1994. Marquit claimed that she designed a red vinyl bra worn by Daniela Peštová on the cover of a 1993 issue of Cosmopolitan, although the magazine credited it to Jeanette Kastenberg. 
Deborah Marquit was inducted into the (CFDA) Council of Fashion Designers of America in 2009.
