Reigning queen of French girl cool - Isabel Marant

“If I like them, other girls are sure to like them too – it’s an emotional reaction” - said Isabel Marant about clothes she makes. She still tries them on herself before they are launched. Every single one of them. Isabel Marant truly manages to combine simplicity and personality in collections made in her image.  
  
Elegance lies in the invention of an attitude.In contrast to other designers, who fantasise about women, Isabel concentrates on dressing them. Since her earliest days, she has never relinquished her star materials: Provencal quilting, fleece, noil silk and velvet. She encourages hand-made production and battles to keep expertise alive. She calls this her "vestimentary ecology".

I love Marant's bohemian, French-cool easiness! For Fall 2013. the look was built on layers of fine-gauge and ribbed knits in black, ivory, or navy, worn over mini skirts or over comfy leggings. I especially loved gorgeously tailored boyish smart coats and jackets with studs. Total look = effortless boho chic! :) 

From my last post you might remember my latest obsession (Way, way over the knee boots), well, I am kind of loving these white ones as well.

“I wanted to create a makeup look that was both feminist and boyish.  The focus is on the brows, which are effortless but controlled - full, with volume, almost masculine. Makeup on the face is very light, very sheer, like a veil, while the lips are simple, natural and nude.”

How do you like this Isabel Marant collection lovelies?  For me after last two were very 'western' this one seems really Parisian chic and clean. I am also obsessed with this brows! Need to try to do mine like this asap! :)
