Marilyn Brown’s design style has always embraced a mix of modern and 1970s styles, and her Fashion Show collection, Every Witch Way, is no exception. Brown spent hours doing trend research on the consumer insight site WGSN and discovered that witches are the next trend, and decided to build on that for her collection. Bewitching, relaxed, and feminine, Every Witch Way calls on the essence of Wicca as both a religious practice and style. “I used new techniques and I experimented with different patterning and draping techniques combined to achieve my desired results,” she says. Listening to the “white witch” herself, Stevie Nicks, and Fleetwood Mac gave Brown a “freeing feel” that she has gone on to incorporate in the collection. From the dark, mysterious vibe to the flow of the fabric to the burned and distressed scarves, the collection’s witchy aesthetic builds suspense.
