Isabel Marant SS26: Boho-Chic With a Side of Cool

Look 17

The Isabel Marant Spring/Summer 2026 show opened with thumping bass and an orange-carpeted runway that sprawled across a venue that felt somehow both indoors and outdoors. Very Parisian of them. It was a muted palette from the get-go, creams, khakis, olives, but that’s classic Marant. If it were neon bodycons or latex, I’d have gone into shock.

The collection kicked off with the brand’s signature boho chic, and while the tones were toned-down (no surprise there), the details were far from boring. We saw their embellished jackets, dripping in charms like they were thrifted from a French flea market, but in a luxurious kind of way. The lacey blouses, the light knits, and of course - the crochet, all which made their expected, but still adored, return. The crocheted shorts were so cute, and honestly, I’d wear them tomorrow.

Now let’s talk about the catwalk itself. The models had to take the scenic route before even making it into the frame, walking the length of this gorgeous Parisian building, entering through dramatic gates, and then arriving on the orange runway. Major drama. But effective.

Capri pants were of course everywhere - which is a bold move considering the fashion community is still debating their relevance, but I have to say, I'm now officially Team Capri. I wasn’t convinced they could ever be that chic… and then Isabel said: watch this. The queen of boho-chic, providing life lessons in how to dress like every stylish French girl you follow. 

And can we have a moment for the shoes? Khaki-green, browns, and cream boot-trainer hybrids that scream “2007 Marant rebooted for 2026”. Genius move. She’s bringing back those iconic Isabel Marant boots - you know the ones, but with an updated edge. A very clever rebrand.

Alex Consani walked in a cream jacket with a sequined vest peeking underneath - not the most groundbreaking of looks, but at least she sparkled. There was also this amazing trench with thick stripes (a pattern that surprisingly popped up a lot), lined in an orange fabric that worked perfectly with the burnt-orange carpet. Unexpected, but satisfying.

One model strolled out with the best abs I’ve ever seen, just casually in a bikini. Another carried what looked like a picnic blanket disguised as a bag - very Marant-coded. Throughout the show, the music matched the mood: upbeat, bassy, but still cool-girl Parisian. Fast-paced walks helped keep the huge collection from dragging, and honestly, there were so many looks, but they all still felt cohesive.

Further into the show, the neutral palette gave way to hints of red and orange - not exactly a rainbow, but enough to keep it spicy. Sequins appeared, and accented the looks in the best ways, working well alongside oversized earrings and gem-studded accessories. By the time

Alex popped up again in a black cut-out two-piece, black had officially taken centre stage. Then came a stunning mini dress made of asymmetrically cut panels and oversized circle sequins! It was boho but make it cool girl who doesn’t know she’s the main character.

Also, the casting? Perfection. Every model looked like they actually would wear Isabel Marant on the regular. And seeing all the supermodels joining the runway such as Alex or Mona Touggard, solidified how respected and loved this brand is. And I mean… it shows.

The whole collection was very true to the Isabel Marant DNA - effortless, French, a little undone, and always stylish.

All my favourite looks: 1, 3, 6, 13, 14, 17, 19, 22, 27, 29, 30, 31, 36, 43, 44, 46, 49, 50, 51, 52, 55, 58, 61, 62

As the final walk began, everything tied together beautifully. The colour story, the textures, the silhouettes, it all flowed so naturally. It was boho. It was chic. It was everything I want my summer 2026 wardrobe to be. If I don’t own a pair of Capri pants by May, I’ve failed myself.

Isabel Marant, I love you. Please sponsor my wardrobe.

Or at least the shoes.

With love,
