Isabel Marant Brings Out Our Inner Dancer For FW 2021/2022 Collection
Clara Dufour – Madame Figaro
8-March-2021
For her Fall-winter 2021 digital fashion show, Isabel Marant wanted to kill all the negative vibes and replace them with hope, energy and dynamism.
The collection was made for dance floors.
The invitation to watch Isabel Marant’s digital show already sets the tone: a tape slipped into a Walkman - two remains of the past totally unknown to those under thirty-five - played music that make you want to dance. The raw energy and the thirst for freedom met at this fashion show, a journey between the past and the future.
Filmed in one of Paris’ suburbs, in a sci-fi reinforced concrete setting - the “Double Hélice” parking garage, an iconic building of the urban architecture of the seventies in Noisy-le-Grand - the show mixes eras and genres. The French designer has summoned her memories, her major inspirations, her current aspirations to imagine a supercharged collection. The folk and libertarian spirit of the sixties meets the momentum of the techno scene of the nineties. But there is nothing retro about her vision. Blouses with psychedelic floral patterns with iridescent reflections are worn with leather trousers, jumpsuits are covered in electric blue vinyl, Texan boots heckle oversized sportswear coats.
Towards a happy tomorrow
As always with Isabel Marant, the looks are a mix of day and night, feminine and masculine. The collection celebrates partying, which we all miss due to the health crisis. We spotted mini party dresses trimmed with silver threads, belted leather shorts and embellished tops, a wardrobe you’re definitely going for once dancing and parties are back again. In this futuristic setting, the models walked on the soundtrack of Gabber Eleganza, with a determined and assertive allure, as if inhabited by a rage for life and the desire to end the crisis.
“Despite the absence of an audience, there is still an amazing energy surrounding the Isabel Marant collections. Always inspired by the eighties, travel or music, we love this collection for its casual chic silhouettes”, said Delphine Perroy, fashion editor at Madame Figaro.
