Isabel Marant, born in 1967, creates her own world of “melting mode.” Her French father, her German mother and particularly her West Indian mother-in-law gave her a cosmopolitan education. It is also while traveling in India or Africa that she finds her inspiration.
Gifted with a range of skills, Isabel launches a first line of jewelry which will be the best way to finance her business. In 1990, she launches Twen, a small knitwear collection that will grow and become later Isabel Marant, as we know it today. The style Isabel Marant is a culture mix, a cosmopolitan and urban world. Isabel’s silhouettes are showing feminine elegance, fitted and close-to-the-body.
Rebecca does not like biographies. They are stupid and she would rather spend her time editing the site. Which she does with great vigor.
