Isabel Marant Spring 2026 Collection
For her second outing as creative director, Kim Bekker leaned into a free-spirited hippie mood, channeling her own memories of solo travel into a collection that balanced practicality with bohemian glamour. Though Isabel Marant still collaborates closely with her, this season felt unmistakably Bekker’s.
“I was thinking about my own journey, traveling alone, carrying a backpack and a blanket to sleep under the stars,” she explained backstage. That idea materialized literally on the runway, which was blanketed in red earth, and figuratively in details like leather crossbody straps designed to hold rolled-up blankets.
Bekker reinterpreted military jackets with patches, cropped suede vests, and low-slung cargo pants rolled to the ankle, while accessories leaned into nomadic ease: banana-shaped suede shoulder bags, lace-up moccasin boots, gladiator-style sandals in suede with silk ties, and flat espadrille boots printed with wildflowers. These suede boots, younger sisters to Marant’s cult Bobby wedge sneakers, tapped into the season’s shift toward all-day, comfortable flat shoes with a chic twist.
Her daywear captured the same relaxed charm: short silky tees in desert shades, long sheer dresses with off-the-shoulder cuts and ruffled cuffs, and romantic shirtdresses or halter tops in broderie anglaise and eyelets, as if sourced from a tiny village vintage shop.
Evening didn’t disappear from the itinerary. Bekker offered shimmering copper and black sequin tops paired with patchwork pants or military jackets, and a standout silver-fringed slip dress covered in oversized sequins, ready for cocktail nights rather than thermos flasks by the fire.
