For "AHS: Coven," Eyrich created some iconic looks for the witches. Their signature styles were cemented into the plot during a scene in which Fiona Goode (Jessica Lange) stresses the importance of wearing black to signify the coven's unity. From then on, the witches all wore black — with a few of their own personal stylistic touches.
The designers eschewed traditional pieces like capes when creating the young witches' styles. Back then, "It was really about making sure each girl had her own flavor," Eyrich told W Magazine.
Those flavors had to be reinvigorated for "AHS: Apocalypse," to reflect the growth the coven had undergone since their public unmasking. To reflect their status as power players, Eyrich said, "This season was all about the capes." The statement-making pieces aren't just worn by the witches, either. The warlocks and Antichrist Langdon also donned their own cloaks.
Here's to hoping that a three-season renewal of the show will see the return of the witches, who lived to see another day at the end of "Apocalypse."
