Isabel Marant Resort 2026 Collection
The resort collection showcased strong shoulders and voluminous sleeves that blended the Victorian era with the 1980s. Isabel Marant fused her signature softness with a resort spirit in a collection inspired by Victorian romanticism and 1980s attitude.
Building on the solid tailoring of the previous season, artistic director Kim Bekker softened the silhouette slightly with fluid fabrics, rounded shoulders, and subtle details like lace and delicate fabric-covered buttons.Faux fur coats were cinched at the waist and featured rounded, voluminous sleeves as a nod to Victorian fashion, while leather jackets took on an ’80s vibe, softened by delicate embroidery and laser-cut floral patterns.
The collection leaned heavily into textiles to create a relaxed, feminine feel: think washed cotton and linen blends, soft velvets, laser-cut lace, and guipure motifs with bobbin stitches for added depth and dimension. Bekker played with prints, combining Western-inspired patterns with small Victorian flowers, as well as metallic studded designs.
The brand’s bestselling slouchy low-heel boot was reinvented this season with laser cuts, in charming heart or crescent moon motifs that radiated movement and elegance. Matching the men’s collection, colors were soft and dusty, like pale pink and sandy beige. Bekker noted that accessories and jewelry sales have been solid over the seasons, and that the faux fur coats from the winter collection sold particularly well. However, buyers are more cautious now and are looking for essential pieces that strongly convey the brand’s DNA.
“They want to have the complete look, or that iconic piece that really reflects the brand or the season,” she said. “And we try to tap into that.”
Hence the new takes on Marant’s refined classics, designed to appeal to all markets. The collection carried all the hallmarks of the brand’s cool, boho-chic Parisian look, with a trendy Western twist.
