MARANT ETOILE

Marant Étoile is the most frequently requested line from Isabel Marant here at our store – and the one where most customers first want to know what the difference actually is.

Isabel Marant or Marant Étoile – what's the difference?

Isabel Marant is the main line of the Parisian house: more elaborately crafted, higher in price, and more focused on individual statement pieces.

Marant Étoile is the second line from the same designer – more relaxed, more suitable for everyday wear, and significantly more accessible in price. The signature style remains the same: that typical French mix of casualness and nonchalance, volume in all the right places, nothing looks forced.

For most women, Étoile is the line they actually wear. Not the piece for a special occasion, but the one you reach for in the morning.

Why ABOUT.ALEXA carries Marant Étoile

With every brand, I ask myself: Can I create special styles for my customers with it? Marant Étoile is one of the most rewarding collections for this, as it never pushes itself into the foreground.

I think in terms of styles, not individual pieces – and these pieces are built to be combined. An Étoile skirt with a statement blazer, an Étoile sweater with designer denim: the brand adds French lightness without overpowering the rest.

The selection at ABOUT.ALEXA

Around 27 items between €177 and €690:

• Skirts from €192 to €495 – with six models, our largest segment, including the Florine and Fiala.
• Trousers from €210 to €320.
• Sweaters and knitwear from €177 – the most affordable entry into the brand.
• Blouses and tops from €238 to €375.
• Shoes for €690.

How I combine Marant Étoile

The skirts are the piece I start with. An Étoile skirt works just as well with a simple knit sweater as it does with a blouse and boots – and it turns a simple top into a complete look.

When it comes to knitwear: Étoile sweaters are deliberately cut loosely. This pairs well with something clean on the bottom – straight trousers, a slim skirt. If there's volume on top, you need calm on the bottom. That's the simplest rule there is, and it works almost always.

Unsure about the size? Étoile sometimes runs larger than expected. Feel free to visit us in Dortmund or book a personal styling appointment.
