Isabel Marant SS26

Isabel Marant’s Spring Summer 2026 collection took guests on a desert inspired journey at the Palais Royal, filled with sun-bleached fabrics, raw textures, and effortless movement. The show opened with a sense of wanderlust and freedom. Clothes looked touched by heat, wind, and time. Washed silks, soft jerseys, and embossed leathers gave the impression of a life spent in motion, with every surface telling a story of travel and memory.

Embroidery stood out as one of the key details of the season. Totemic motifs, beaded fringes, and bark-textured jewelry brought a sense of craftsmanship and ritual. Crochet pieces floated around the body, scarves tied at the waist hinted at a nomadic spirit, and asymmetric ruffles ran across dresses and skirts with natural rhythm. The result felt both grounded and ethereal, with every garment shaped by movement.

As the show progressed, the mood shifted toward something more practical. Cargo trousers and jackets appeared in light fabrics with oversized pockets, worn with soft knits and slouchy totes. Menswear and womenswear shared the same relaxed approach with rolled shorts, open-knit tanks, and suede vests that revealed the shoulders.

The palette reflected a journey from day to night, starting with sand, ecru, and pale yellow before moving into bronze, violet, and finally black. Isabel Marant offered a collection that felt sun-kissed, easy, and free, a wardrobe for modern travellers who carry the spirit of adventure wherever they go.
