Isabel Marant was inspired by Japan for her latest Etoile collection. The most notable reference is the cotton-blend Kony sweatshirt (available in chalk, khaki and black), embroidered with “Fujiyama” on the centre-front. This season also sees the arrival of an abundance of versatile tops in monochromatic hues, which embody the label’s bohemian spirit. The Safi and Sonia tops, available in black and ecru, feature a beautiful ruffled trim and are both crafted from a lightweight gauze fabric making it ideal for warm climates. The crocheted cotton Calice top and Caty dress (both available in black and white) are intricately embroidered with floral appliqués, and are the perfect go-to pieces for breezy summer daytime dressing. The Barber top and the Bloom dress are ideal for hot climates as they are both fabricated from gauze-like cotton blend. The Barber top and Bloom are perfect to slip on over a bikini, and feature intricate ethnic-inspired embroidery, encapsulating Marant’s bohemian carefree aesthetic. Other beautiful lightweight pieces from Marant’s latest collection include the silk-chiffon Zaggy dress (available in black and blue), the Zinya top (available in black/ecru, black and navy/ecru), and the striped Xana top (available in black and beige). Marant has made stripes a central theme in her latest collection. The Olan dress, Olwen short sleeve top and Odea ¾ sleeve dress are all fabricated from a lightweight silk and are emblazoned with bold graphic stripes. These pieces are perfect for day to evening dressing and are available in two beautiful colour ways – ecru and midnight, and for those who prefer more colour black, teal and red. An Isabel Marant collection would be incomplete without jeans – the ultimate staple of any Marant wardrobe. The Pradley and Parsons jeans are perfect go-to pieces for a relaxed daytime look, which exudes Marant’s coveted laidback aesthetic. Pradley combines a straight leg and a boyfriend fit and is cropped at the ankle, which is ideal for showing off Marant’s signature sneakers. Parsons are a boyfriend fit jean, which also features a cropped leg and can be paired with a pair of pumps to add a dose of femininity.
