To celebrate The Wizard of Oz making children and adults alike happy for 75 years, the fashion world wanted to show their love for the nostalgic film and its electric cast of characters with a special [fashion collaboration](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beetlejuice-beetlejuice1) that will get fans super excited.

Asking top designers to reimagine the main female characters in a modern way, the series boasts illustrations of how the chosen designers would have pictured the female cast in The Wizard of Oz to be like.

With the likes of Marc Jacobs, Donna Karan, BCBG Max Azria and more as collaborators, the funky line of [modern Oz ladies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinderella-capsule) will be out in September with all the proceeds from profits going to Habitat for Humanity.
