Kim Bekker began Isabel Marant Spring Summer 2027 in Los Angeles, where she discovered photographer Sam Haskins’s sepia-toned visions of women from the 1960s, layered in hazy light yet absolutely grounded in sensuality and strength. That paradox became the collection’s DNA: airy, weightless dressing held by confident, clear shapes. The result is a collection that captures the Isabel Marant girl as she has always been, the one who travels well, who knows that effortlessness requires intention.
SPRING SUMMER 2027
Bekker’s expansion of the brand’s DNA is visible immediately. Where Isabel Marant has always whispered, now she speaks with quiet intensity. A black lace dress arrives adorned with macrame elements and hand-stitched details, the lace so delicate it reads almost like air. Rhinestones dust the hemline. A black leather blouson falls paper-thin over voluminous macrame capris. The juxtaposition between the adorned and the unadorned shapes every look. A simple tee in antique linen sits beneath a round-shouldered white cotton blazer pinned with a brooch. Shorts are tailored but constructed from delicate lace. Board shorts become something precious. Nothing is precious, yet everything is treasured.
The technical language of handcraft runs throughout. Vintage-like embroideries are sprinkled with beads that gently weight fragile silk. Fabrics arrive with the love-worn patina of life, the feeling of something already broken in, already lived in. A slip dress dotted with silvery flowers reads like found vintage, though it is entirely new. An embroidered jacket in gold paired with a bias-cut skirt slides onto the body like a t-shirt, that effortless second skin the brand understands so well.
Layering becomes the operating principle, whether constructed into the garment itself or in how pieces are worn. A leather halter top sits over a draped chiffon vest over a loose shirt. Short floaty dresses arrive in hand-drawn, sun-faded floral prints, the palette referencing Isabel Marant Summer 2013, a nod to heritage that feels genuine. The 1930s lingerie mood for day shifts for evening to smoke grey and black, that knowing Isabel Marant sensibility that can move from morning to night without breaking stride.
Color arrives in translucent pink, green, and coral for the daytime pieces, soft and diffused. For evening, the palette deepens and cools, becoming more knowing. Each piece carries the heat of summer without declaring it loudly. The impression is of a wardrobe built by someone who understands that travel requires versatility, that style is accumulation, that the best pieces are the ones you return to.
Accessories function as the final whisper. High basketweave ankle boots and slouchy plaited shoulder bags feel like discoveries. Beaded low-cut boots offer a hint of sensuality. Sparkly sandals arrive with matching anklets, the detail unnecessary and entirely necessary. An embellished bucket bag hangs from woven thong straps, functional and decorative. Shell and seed bead jewelry recalls wanderlust, that eternal Isabel Marant compass always pointing toward elsewhere.
What distinguishes this collection is Bekker‘s refusal to abandon the founder’s language while expanding it. The Isabel Marant girl has always been a traveller, always been stylish, always understood that real luxury is feeling comfortable while looking exceptional. Summer 2027 simply gives her more tools to do what she already knows how to do: dress with intention, move through the world with ease, collect moments and memories in the pieces she keeps going back to. This is not reinvention. This is evolution, and it is exactly what the brand needed.
