Isabel Marant for H&M: Wishlist

As you all may know, Isabel Marant for H&M Lookbook and Full Collection Photos is already revealed, and I am so excited that I have already created my wish list - since the collection is a strong repetition of her past creations from which I am lacking some pieces.

The collection is inspired by some of Marant’s top selling pieces from previous seasons, though at more affordable prices. You can witness the revival of the ikat print (from F/W 2011), a pair of fringe boots resembling the Mony sans wedge (again F/W 2011), skinny trousers, chunky knits, boyish coats and an embellished jacket which looks a lot like the gorgeous Weez (S/S 2012), but without the tie-dye (you can browse the similarities here).

As you can see on the lookbook, Alek Wek, Lou Doillon, Milla Jovovich, and Constance Jablonski model pieces that echo Marant's Parisian bohemian aesthetic perfectly.

The majority of the pieces are made of silk and wool plus prints and cut have been loyally transferred onto the H&M version of Marant’s designs.

Marant's trademark wedge sneaker might be missing from this collection, but the men boots remind me of my favorite Jenny boots and it's the first time I feel lucky enough that my feet's size is 41!

You can browse the complete lookbook here.

What are you waiting for? Start making your wishlist now before the collection hits the stores on November 14.

Join the queue : Isabel Marant for H&M

Today, H&M announced its autumn collaboration with Parisian designer Isabel Marant,the queen of Parisian haute-boho chic . With her effortless style, Isabel Marant 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. Available from November 14, 2013, in around 250 stores worldwide and online, the collection features clothing and accessories for women and teenagers. Isabel will also, for the first time, create a collection for men.

The designer stated for the new upcoming collaboration: “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" .

The Hermes Wonderland by Olivia Bee

"Olivia Bee, 18, started photographing her friends when she was just 11, gradually developing a dreamy, color-drenched aesthetic that is a visual metaphor for the emotional lushness and near-religious sensory intensity of adolescence. Neither are qualities normally associated with the bourgeois elegance of Hermès, but after seeing Bee’s work in Le Monde, a representative of the house contacted her about photographing for Le Monde d’Hermès, the brand’s magazine, and shooting a short film, “Il Est Pour Nous,” which stars Bee, her boyfriend Cooper Campbell and a pair of pastel bunnies, for its Web site. Sweet yet sensual, with a fairy-tale-like guilelessness, the resulting images are a whole new way of looking at the foulard, which Bee fashioned into both a giant hair bow and a curvy elf hat." -The New York Times
