“Its very optimistic. A suitcase packed by a girl who travels all over the world,” is what Isabel Marant said backstage when being asked about her current, lets call it colourful and sportive, spring 2012 collection. She thought of what a girl travelling around the world would ideally need in her suitcase and came up with typical American comfort clothes including hoodies, tank dresses and track pants. But the French fashion-étoile looked a little further than to America only and included Rajasthani embroideries on vests and dresses for her fashion globetrotter-girl. Looking at her current collection undoubtedly made the catwalks audience phantasize about being young and independent again, about packing their suitcases with Isabels oversized tie-dyed utility jackets, sports-shirts and skinny jeans and escaping. A collection that will definitely make you feel a lot more free and relieved, a collection with a little Hippie-feeling included, however always combined with her own feminine touch: the high heel!

If you feel that Rajasthani might be a little over the top for your taste you can go for the black mini dress with multicoloured print (Produkt z.Zt. ausverkauft). Still Hippie, yet not too extravagant and the best: It is perfect for travelling light and suitable for hot Spanish days, as well as over jeans when moving on to the colder parts of you adventure-trip.

Isabel Marant is the queen of casual dressing; she combines Parisian Cool with bohemian edge. Her eclectic pieces are feminine yet casual and all this in an effortless-seeming way. A combination that deserves our true respect! The perfect example for this talent is her Nappa Wool Dress (Produkt z.Zt. ausverkauft). Initially a Jersey Sweatshirt yet converted into a sexy mini dress. That is what we call simple, effortless style! Its three quarter sleeves are perfect for big bracelets to give the sportive look a little elegant touch (Produkt z.Zt. ausverkauft).

Isabel Marants skinnies are putting her in the forefront of fashions jeans league. Perfect fit, perfect colours and perfect comfort is what her jeans have to offer (Produkt z.Zt. ausverkauft). But they are not only comfortable through their high-waist cut, they are also an absolute all-rounder! Combine them with literally anything you can think of (and that makes it another favourite in our globetrotter-suitcase, doesnt it).

Last but not least, and also complementing the skinnies from above, Isabel also has a talent for designing casual-chic shoes. Whether its her typical high heels that give her casually cool outfits the wow-factor, her sexy (flat!) over knees or the flat suede ankle boots (Produkt z.Zt. ausverkauft). Isabel Marant does know how to give an outfit the extra glamour. Parisian cool per se and a little understatement included.
