"MARRISA WILSON New York Spring/Summer 2023 Runway Show, an ethereal collection in an intimate setting. In the MW SS23 Runway Collection, 'Of Many Waters,' founder and creative director Marrisa Wilson explores her Guyanese heritage, looking at her past and the generations that came before her. Built around an expressive print story, the gestural palm prints, multihued brushstrokes, and watercolor strokes are redolent of family boat rides down the Demerara River, long walks through the country’s lush rainforests, and the sea walls that expand endlessly across Guyana’s coastline. It is in the details where the past is drawn— the utilitarian pockets and functional trimming an homage to the uniforms of the Women’s Army Corp that emerged in the post-colonial ‘70s; the tuck lace stitching a tribute to her father’s memories of a childhood spent detangling fisherman nets; the sweater tipping and neckline inspired by Guyana’s traditional cricket uniforms that remain beloved in the country today."
