M A R A N T



I'm sure we are all anticipating the arrival of the Marant for H&M collection. As we get closer and closer to the release date, I decided to take a look at the interview Marant did with someone from H&M Magazine. 

When asked what she would like to achieve with the H&M collaboration, she replied "H&M is very democratic and quite realistic in terms of what people really wear. In the same way, I'm not into fantasy. I think more about being true to the lives we lead today. So with H&M, I want to share my style and my vision with a wide range of people."

The wedge sneaker made was a huge hit, so I'm sure her pieces for H&M will be a success as well. I feel as though for whatever reason people weren't familiar with Isabel Marant until her sneakers became super popular. I hope this collaboration gives those who didn't know who she was a chance to get familiar because she is an amazing designer. 

Not only will there be awesome pieces for us ladies, but Isabel Marant also worked on some pieces for men (for the fist time). Marant stated "...It was fun to figure out how to translate my woman to menswear. I must say, I'm not very fond of men that look too fashionable. In terms of pieces, I knew exactly what I could do, but then to make it look nice and real for men was not as easy as I had thought in the beginning."

If you haven't picked up your copy of the H&M Magazine I suggest you do so. Head over to your local H&M  and grab a copy to read the full interview. And mark your calendars for November 14th!!
