There are certain collections that ooze desirability from the first to the last look on the runway. Isabel Marant’s Spring/Summer 2016 collection is one of these: from canvas folk pants and long gilded coats to harem pants cut in a sophisticated lurex, next season will be globe trotting or bust! This is how the stylist mixes an urban wardrobe and ethnic findings with gusto and her usual nonchalance, then sprinkles it with a telltale Parisian subtlety. An imminent visual flash only dangerously raises the stakes of this collection’s desirability.
Berber blouses, silver lamé jogging pants and tunics with bouffant sleeves; Isabel Marant is boldly mixing ethnic tissues and sophisticated bling-bling here. The berber tunic is the collection’s central point. Cosmic leggings and burnooses that were hand-embroidered in India bring the silhouette up to the ranks of a contemporary must-have. The Parisienne is crafting a style of which she herself is the greatest spokesperson, a style that avidly mixes pieces dug up in the four corners of the Earth and the latest findings of conceptual designers like it was nothing. This tenacious success proves once more that Isabel Marant’s cool chic hasn’t finished winning over acolytes!
