Isabel Marant

hi there! i am interested in purchasing a sweater from the Etoile collection but I am not sure about the sizing 0-3 ....I am usually a XS, S or rather 36, UK around 6/8 (well at least at Topshop as their sizes seem to be all over the places) so I am a bit confused. would the 0 be very tight if it is the size of a Etoile sweater - and the 2 too big? - the problem is that there are only the 0, 2, and 3 left - 1 is missing which would have been the one I would have picked if available long story short: help please

it would be a sweater so it doesn't have to be skin-tight but i rather don't want it to look like a sack on me either

Jomarlushka, I'm a size 38-40 and have a size-2 Etoile jacket, so I guess size 0 would better for you

 

[jomarlushka]

thank you sooo much FrenchCactus!

^I agree. I'm a UK6 in sweaters usually and take a 0 in IM sweaters. I don't find them to be flattering on me when I size up, so I'd suggest you get the 0, too.

I bought this main line dress recently. The colors are just wonderful. It comes with a black belt which is not in the picture.

i'm bummed because the zand boots (basically that same low cowboy boot marant makes all the time) are falling apart after like three wearings. the heel is just wood-looking strips glued over plastic, and it's peeling away left and right on both heels. you'd think for boots that are 600 retail they'd have a real stacked wood heel! anybody else have this problem?

 

[Frenger]

^that's extremely odd! I don't have the same problem with my bidou boots..

 

[FrenchCactus]

emma peel thanks for sharing! I was considering buying IM boots and given the price I guess it's not worth it after all.

I've had my boots in leather and suede for years and neither ever sufferred from this kind of deterioration.

 

[lemeray]

Emma peel I had the same problem! The sole of the heel fell off after a few wears too but no major problem the shoe man fixed it...

Does anyone know if she did some 100% linen trousers this season? The same kind of weight as the classic linen tees she does every season. She did some last AW which were a skinny leg with normal side pockets (not cargo). Theres nothing online but I don't think it's the kind of style NAP etc would have bought into, wondered if anyone had spotted something similar in the stores, thanks.

I haven't seen any linen trousers this season. Only seen wool trousers, cargo trousers and jogging pants But I guess she will make those linen trousers next season. But they sell out so fast!

Thank you, apparently there is one pair called Ramsi but I could only find one shop that got them and they didn't have a small. I want some slim black trousers to go with my Lacow boots. Hmmmm.....

Now that it's colder in most countries has anyone worn their coats from this season outside yet? Are they warm at all? I've seen quite a few of them still in store today and I'm tempted to buy the Baki coat, but I really, really need a warm winter coat, so I'd rather not spend all my money on a coat that just looks lovely but isn't very warm Every now and then even my fashion choices need to be sensible, hehe.

 

[FrenchCactus]

^ I've tried the Ben coat from Etoile and it's really warm.

 

[Psylocke]

The Ben coat is the longer version of the Baki, right? I think I've seen that one, too. I will have to try that one on then! Thanks!

 

[FrenchCactus]

You're welcome Here's the Ben

i thought i was the only one who was having this problem!
do you think a shoemaker could fix the heels?

Yes, thanks, the print is just lovely. It was a bit pricey but it works for day and evening depending on shoes and accessories.
