Paris Fashion Week Fall 2010: Isabel Marant

Posted by fashionentrepreneurreport On Friday, March 05, 2010

If I have ever had a fashion designer crush it would be Isabel. She speaks to a woman, someone who has grown out of her teens, but is not yet ready to step out in couture, someone who pounds the city streets with both accomplishment and sex appeal, and season after season her slouchy trousers and mini skirts reminds me of why it is so exciting to have hip bones and long legs. She makes me want to be that cool French girl that has a closet full of not even trying to look fashionable, fashion pieces… and it seems Isabel has returned the love that so many American girls like myself have for her style. Starting off with Red and Blue Rugby stripped lurex detailed dresses and following with jackets and little capris (also in red and blue no less). But her 50’s Americana reference wasn’t wasted in Paris…hip draped minis and oversized furs brought back the bohemian aesthetic she is known for along with a sleek black liquid eye-liner to pull the entire collection together.
