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 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.

Saks In Bahrain

I went to Saks Fifth Avenue store in Bahrain. The two-level store is located in City Centre Mall and has a collection of American and international clothes designers for Men and Women as well as jewelry, accessories, handbags, fragrances, cosmetics, intimate apparel, bridal, and children's apparel. However, I was slightly disappointed by the small selection, maybe because all items were on sale? Or the number and variety of brands were limited? Anyhow, my favourite section at Saks - Bahrain was Saks's world-famous 10022-SHOE salon (shown in the photo below). It had the same look & feel of the NY's shoe salon but of course not the same space. The Shoe Salon had really nice selection and they were all on sale! I have been told by Saks Sales Assistant that they will be hosting numerous special events throughout the year such as fashion shows and personal appearances by designers. Now that's something I'd be interested in! In addition, they currently offer in-st
