Isabel Marant ESPADRILLES

Parisian Isabel Marant presented her first namesake collection in 1995 after stints as a jewelry and knitwear designer, wanting to present clothes that were accessible and not overly girly or elaborate. Her skinny jeans, elegantly destroyed slouchy knits, furs and shearlings, menswear pieces, and perennial "It" items like fringed boots and wedge sneakers capture the confidence and nonchalance of French street style. Feminine but never overtly sexy, Marant's attitude informs a combination of minimalist, bohemian, and utilitarian style currents that is never overthought.
