"It is about the contrast of putting things together in a way you couldn't imagine."
The anticipation is over... 'Isabel Marant Pour H&M' hits stores today!
Isabel Marant is a Parisian fashion designer who focuses primarily on women's fashion. However, in her collaboration with the Swedish retailer, H&M, she has included both a men's and a kid's line as well. It is this versatility that has me really excited for this collection!
My personal style is fairly plain and simple, so I'm loving some of the basic pieces from the women's line. But it is the knitwear in the men's collection that really catches my eye!
"Style, for me, is all about personality. I think self-confidence and being at ease with oneself is a good definition of it."
Isabel has suggested that we women shouldn't limit ourselves strictly to the feminine pieces. Since this venture into menswear is a one-off for the designer, I say you might as well explore it while you have the chance! While all the women's clothing is getting snatched up, why not make a dash for the men's section and pick up a few unique additions for your winter wardrobe? Fashion is all about experimentation; boundaries are meant to be crossed. So why not try something new? Worst case scenario, if you end up not liking the style, just wrap up the clothing and give it to your boyfriend/brother/dad for Christmas. Two birds, one stone!
"I'd say that styling is an individual effort. Everybody can interpret things in their own way."
Here are a few of my favourite pieces from both the women's and men's collections:
