I have admired French designer Isabel Marant’s designs from afar for awhile now but her Parisian-chic designs are so coveted that they are very difficult to get your hands on here in the states. One of my favorite boutiques in Aspen, Max, carries Marant and I had a field day. Her designs are so cool and wearable. I am talking silky shirt dresses that can be belted or worn loose (I plan on wearing mine with a fabulous Alaia corset belt), easy-to-wear ruffled tops and mini-dresses, and great little jackets. The prices are on the high but reasonable side (a simple cotton plaid shirt dress was just under $300 and silky dresses are in the $800 range). I think it is a very under-represented price point…much less than your big name designers but more than lines like Theory and DVF. I picked up a few pieces but the small-size pickings were a bit slim since Aspen is such a fit town and the little sizes go first. Lucky for me (and you!), Chagrin Falls boutique Juicy Lucy also carries a fabulous selection of Isabel Marant (as well as lots of other hard-to-find designers). They just so happen to be having a big sale now too, so make a point to head over there asap to check out this amazing line!
