Isabel Marant’s Holiday Sparkle

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

 


Maray dress
