Witches Have a Fashion Moment - NYTimes.com: " . . . “The witch is the ultimate bad girl,” said Carly Cushnie of the design team Cushnie et Ochs, who riffed on the Salem witch trials in the fall collection she unveiled last month. “You want to be her.” It’s a concept, all right. Witchcraft and its moody expressions — long weedy hair, peaked hats and pointy boots — have attained a strange cachet of late. No longer the hideous wart-covered crone of folklore and fairy tale, the witch of current films, like “Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters” and “Oz: The Great and Powerful,” and recent youth-oriented novels like “Released Souls” and “A Discovery of Witches,” has swept aside the vampire as a symbol of power, glamour and style.

The line, as Mr. Slimane revealed, owed a debt to the kinds of self-anointed Gypsy sorceresses who thrived during the 1970s in subterranean Los Angeles, equal parts Stevie Nicks and Marjorie Cameron, the latter an urban legend in her day who painted pagan goddesses and dabbled in the occult arts. . . ."
