Etoile by Isabel Marant launches at NET-A-PORTER.COM on 23rd June


Following the overwhelming success of Isabel Marant’s mainline, NET-A-PORTER.COM has picked up Etoile by Isabel Marant for FW2010 and it will be launched this coming Wednesday 23rd June. I'm eyeing this sooo on-trend denim jumpsuit.

Parisian designer Isabel Marant launched her second line, Etoile Isabel Marant in 2000. The go-to label for easy Rive Gauche chic, Marant's designs blend relaxed tailoring with bohemian detailing - an unbeatable recipe that has won her fans the world over, from Chloe Sevigny to Diane Kruger. From printed tea dresses to military-style khaki parkas, each piece possesses the same sexy, downtown feel as Marant's main line but at an even more accessible price point (prices range from KD75 - KD 280).

For fall NET-A-PORTER has bought soft plaid shirts and army green parkas, bohemian printed dresses and blouses, sexy black separates and statement bold shoulder jackets. There are some great knitwear-as-outerwear pieces too.

i personally never understood why everyone went crazy for isabel marant all of a sudden (shes been around for aages). okay its "parisian style", i dont know i find "parisian style" incredibly boring. there nothing happy or inspired about it.

I actually find some pieces quite interesting like the denim jumpsuit and some are practical for everyday errands. I agree, the brand's designs are nothing out of the ordinary and probably that's why fashion media all of a sudden started to focus on this brand when the world got hit by the recession. The majority of people started to shop for "safe" and classic pieces that stand the test of time and Isabel fit the criteria perfectly.

Altuzarra or Aquazzura?

That is the question. It took me a whole season to finally tell these two brands apart, and this season, there's no mistake, each brand is now engraved in my fashion database like a personalized Tiffany's pen. And this Resort 2015 season, I'm head over heels with their flats, on display now at AlOthman Boutique . Altuzarra's version comes in a tonal-gray water snake and are decorated with beige shells, red beads and silver sequins. Aquazzura's lace-up sandals come in a beautiful shade of apple green, and will work with white or bright colored casual summer outfit.  After much thought and sole-searching, I have decided to go for the  Altuzarra   sandals. They're safely stored in my closet, waiting for the dust and the cold to go away.  Which pair would you go for?

Magical Mode

As anyone who regularly reads Confashions may know, there are some designers I’ve been obsessed with for quite some time: one is the genius Erdem , the other is Nicholas Kirkwood , and Pierre Hardy . And because their designs are somehow easily accessible online and offline, I had the pleasure of featuring some of their creations and showing them the love they deserve. That said, there is one designer I’ve been particularly smitten with for quite some time. He has always been on the top of my favorite designers list ever since I was introduced to his designs by my fabulous fellow fashionisto Adnan Z Manjal   a couple of years back : Saudi designer Mohammed Ashi . I always wished I featured him more. I couldn’t because his pieces are very exclusive and as far as I know not stocked anywhere here. This clearly isn't just another post on my obvious love for Mohammed Ashi’s designs or the quality of his clothes as I have done that previously. Ashi simply deserves his very own epic p...
