Isabel Marant’s Holiday Sparkle

December 15, 2023December 14, 2023 | Design & Culture by Ed

For this festive season, Isabel Marant, the eternal Parisienne, offers a capsule of 1980s-centric chic, suspended somewhere between Saint-Germain and Manhattan, with extra sheen and shine. Her carefree and bohemian style is reflected by refined LBDs, metallic scuffed ankle boots and timeless leathers. “For me, fashion is about enjoying life,” she explains. “It has to be positive. It’s a release of energy to people, putting bad vibes behind.” Your New Year’s Eve look, splashed in Marant’s sequins, will definitely attract good vibes for 2024!

Here’s my selection:

Wild Shore earrings

Delfi top

Dolene skirt

Miyako boots

Oskan Moon bag

Askja sandal heels
