isabel marant is an iconic french brand. the brand is cult-ier than the Heaven's Gate pack and its followers are just about as fanatical. her clothes are better than the fanciest of kool-aids and much more insouciant than black nikes. the styling is classic french gamine, but each piece is a stand out on its own. the garments are sized as 0,1,2,3...(a type of one size fits all small,medium,large set-up) and are effortlessly drapey and slouchy, but with a real weight that is comforting to wear. if only i had the common sense to buy it when i had the luxury of being around it everyday. i've learned my lesson for sure.
also: minor-excitement/partial rant: for s/s08 she included black in her color palette which is often not done, but really should be and is much appreciated by yours truly. no one, especially no one in fashion/design, is going to abandon black. i don't care if nytimes, vogue, elle, or whomever decrees it too somber. i don't care if the earth turns into a giant moon bounce with free kittens and $100,000 dollar bills for every one; people will still choose to wear black. so good. i am even more psyched that she includes black and dark neutrals as much as i do in my own wardrobe. that only gives me more reason to collect it all.
