MARILYN BROOKS, C.M., O.ONT.
FASHION DESIGNER, RETAILER, MENTOR, AUTHOR
1932 – 2026
In lieu of flowers, the family has made arrangements with Seneca Polytechnic’s School of Fashion — a place dear to Marilyn’s heart, and home to a Fashion Resource Centre that holds part of her remarkable collection.
Marilyn served on Seneca’s Advisory Board and maintained a close relationship with the school throughout her career. Supporting emerging design talent was one of her deepest passions, and a gift in her memory to Seneca’s School of Fashion is a beautiful way to keep her spirit alive in the next generation of Canadian designers, exactly as she did throughout her extraordinary life.

Her passion for Canadian fashion lives on in every emerging designer she inspires, and in the continued work of all those dedicated to preserving and celebrating her extraordinary legacy. Thank you for helping to carry that forward.
With gratitude and love,
The Marilyn Brooks-Coles family
