Isabel Marant S/S 2022 Paris

The very definition of "dated", in all its splendor!
 
I dont mind the ease and potential to be great separates for one's wardrobe.

lol

It is pretty consistent with past collections but it seems to me like she's finally near the end of the tunnel.. evolving and catching up with the last decade.. there's still some 2008 stuff she could edit out (like the rolled up pants and the tacky boots) but it just feels less.. simple-minded Vogue Paris reader (no short skinny jeans or the godawful shoulder pads she started using years ago and could not see past of). Her collections since the pandemic have just felt more fresh, not as sophisticated as they once were (before the odious VP team came along-- Fall 2006 *sighs* :heart:) but it's still light-hearted and.. fun. I probably wouldn't say no to some of the pieces around and after the purple part.
 
a strong cast does help on selling the clothes doesn’t it?

it’s a bit of an urban bohemian failed attempt isn’t it?
the choice of prints and fabrics is incoherent somehow.

I remember a few years ago being inside an Isabel Marant store and it all looked very chic and expensive.
apart from a few pieces, this collection did not give this same impression.
 
her typical Marant silhouettes are solid, but her bad choice of colours and prints is peaking this season
 
That salmon dress on Imaan and the jacket in the next look are very cute but the whole collection reeks of Bershka summer capsule from 2010 with those awful prints and neon tie-dye.

In short: Colorful prints are something she should largely avoid, she just doesn't have an eye for them, her strengths lie with the navy peacoat for example...
 
From far they look good, but up close they don`t.
 
While certainly not my taste, I guess I can see the appeal of her womenswear. That said, her menswear is a complete non-event and I don't know why she continues to do it.
 
It's a nice and safe collection but I must say I'm in love with both menswear orange looks, it's something I would definitely wear.
