Isabel Marant X H&M @ Fall 2013 Collection

H&M announced its autumn collaboration with Parisian designer Isabel Marant. It is about time, with Marant's effortless style, she has created a widely influential and successful take on Paris chic. Mixing urban attitude, boho elegance and rock ‘n’ roll spirit, she delivers a genuine French allure. For H&M, Isabel Marant will create a wardrobe of must-have pieces inspired by her signature style. The collection features clothing and accessories for women and teenagers. Isabel Marant will also, for the first time, create a collection for men.We are excited to have Isabel Marant as a guest designer at H&M. The way she mixes different elements in her collections, creating a style that is effortless and urban, makes her very contemporary. She has a fantastic eye for ethnic detail and the rare ability to create something that people really want to wear. We are sure the H&Mcustomers will be enthusiastic about this collection,” says Margareta van den Bosch, Creative Advisor at H&M. 

Born and raised in Paris, Isabel Marant started customising her own clothes while still at high school. A graduate of the famed Studio Berçot, Marant worked her way up the fashion system starting with a jewellery line, then adding knitwear, finally launching her eponymous collection in 1994. Today she runs an internationally successful fashion powerhouse with a string of boutiques worldwide. Her Parisian chic style – a mix of bohemia and masculine tailoring – grows in popularity season after season. The collection features clothing and accessories for women and teenagers. Isabel Marant will also, for the first time, create a collection for men.

“I am flattered by this collaboration: H&M works with the best designers and this invitation is an exciting honour. I aim at creating something real, that women want to wear in their everyday lives, with a certain carelessness, which I think is very Parisian: you dress up, but do not pay too much attention and still look sexy. The collection is infused with this kind of easiness and attitude. Everything can be mixed following one’s own instincts: my take on fashion is all about personality,” says Isabel Marant. Available from November 14, 2013, in around 250 stores worldwide and online. Save the date!!!
