PFW: Isabel Marant Autumn/Winter 2010

Isabel’s Autumn/Winter collection channelled a sort of 50’s temptress. There was sports cut leather jackets, flat bow pumps (sorry, no boots this season!)  neck ties and skinny ¾ length trousers - it was like a cooler version of Grease. I loved the colours of the first few looks - bright red and purple - but this soon petered out to a duller grey, black and white, as well as some gold - but these were kept interesting with an introduction to faint patterns which were prominent on some of the jeans and tops.

There was also some delicate knitwear (black and white horizontal stripes) which were teamed with embellished silver trousers for a touch of luxury. This was a good, solid collection by Isabel. There was plenty really wearable pieces - I especially liked some of the stunning casual pieces - such as the cropped trousers which would be really easy to wear and undeniably stylish.
