Paris Fashion Week: Isabel Marant


By Jennifer Ennis

Isabel Marant, a personal fave, set a tonne of new trends in her AW 2010 collection with a focus on relaxed and stylish daywear inspired by the fifties and Grease's Pink Ladies!

There wasn't a full length pair of trousers in sight as every pair was cropped and rolled up at the calves. There was lot of mixing and matching with sequins, leather, denim and fur in a wide range of colours. It was a fun, feminine collection featuring bows (worn as belts and scarves), polka dots, lots of eyeliner and high ponytails. It was very fresh and 100% wearable, as Marant usually is.

The biggest change that every Marant fan will notice is the omission of her infamous studded suede boots! The boots, which sell out instantly worldwide, were replaced by cute pointy-toe pumps with bows on the side worn by every model (and even Marant herself at the end). This displays Marant's reluctance to be too familiar as she is clearly a designer who won't be pigeon-holed with a signature look.

This collection excited me and Marant has proved herself once again as stylish, chic and changeable- bring on the cropped trousers! I cannot wait.
