Isabel Marant Etoile, a Bohemian Parisian woman.
Boosted by the success of her eponymous brand founded in 1994, Isabel Marant launched her second line in 1999, calling it "Isabel Marant Etoile". In this collection, the Parisian designer proposes more affordable pieces and stands out mainly through her ranges of jersey which are highly-coveted thanks to their quality and scruffy chic look.
A very sharp yet accessible collection.
An emblematic figure of the new generation of French designers, Isabel Marant made a name for herself in fashion when she launched her collection in 1994. Characterised by a chic, but quirky look and with influences coming from around the globe, the appeal of Isabel Marant clothing knows no borders. In 1998, the designer opened her first Parisian store in an old artist's studio in Bastille and one year later, launched the brand Isabel Marant Etoile, a line which was more accessible but still just as smart and chic. Rock'n'roll yet romantic, Etoile kept the Bohemian accents for which Isabel Marant was so famous. The new brand proposed on-trend, very easy-to-wear, all-over looks. Pared-down yet sophisticated cuts, a falsely scruffy look, carefully considered details: the Parisian designer carried off the challenge and left her mark on the world of fashion.
To complete modern feminine silhouettes, Isabel Marant Etoile proposes a range of accessories. Cotton scarves, silk stoles, belts and bags that pull off elegance with a Bohemian vibe will enhance outfits of all descriptions. The Marfa cross-body bag in suede will always be one of the must-have products in the leather goods line.
Smart casual, French-style.
Isabel Marant Etoile is the embodiment of Parisian chic. Abroad, Etoile designs are a symbol of the much-envied, very "in" look of French women who fly at the cutting edge of fashion. The Etoile line by Isabel Marant plays on clever combinations and a mix of inspirations: dare to wear a romantic-style dress with leather boots or slip a sportswear jacket over a floral, cotton voile skirt. This casual chic spirit earned the brand an international reputation, thanks in no small part to the increase in popularity of social media where stars and influencers from around the world are proud to show off the latest Isabel Marant Etoile pieces: from the famous Koldia T-shirt design, bearing the logo "Marant" to the legendary Dayton jersey tops. The actresses Chloé Sevigny and Kirsten Dunst also love the casual smart style of Isabel Marant Etoile, and are regularly seen wearing creations by the Parisian brand. All the lines proposed by Isabel Marant have benefited from the positive impact of the collaboration with H&M in 2013 and the designer, who is now famous the world over, continues to cultivate her own Bohemian version of the French touch in the four corners of the globe.
