Feminist, environmentalist, optimist –– Maggie Hewitt founded her company with the hope of making a difference in the world. And that she has. Hewitt is now one of the most recognizable names in sustainable fashion. I read that by the end of 2020, 50 per cent of Marilyn’s collections will be fabricated using recycled materials. The company ships its seasonal wholesale collections in biodegradable bags and is striving to be a 100 per cent carbon neutral business. With their simple silhouettes and no fuss elegance, it’s her dresses that are topping my wish list. This buttermilk silk classic needs nothing but a kitten heel, and this cream strapless number could literally go from garden party to the altar. Clothes that make you feel good about yourself, and about the planet.
