Slouchy is the shape of the season for Isabel Marant, who added new volume on trousers that graze the floor or pool at the ankles, tucked into kitten-heeled boots, and on dresses draped as if one nonchalantly layered on the scarves.
Marant and brand artistic director Kim Bekker carried through the ikat prints from the most recent men’s collection, translated here on tops, tunics and dresses. The boho codes of the house are evident on other pieces, with lots of swingy ’70s fringe.
