Perhaps you remember one of my favorites DIY's on the blog, the navajo painted rings inspired by Isabel Marant's pants, in case you don't you can see them here.  

Isabel Marant, is an ultra chic french designer, also one of the best-kept secret of the fashion world (as described by net-a-porter). 

"Isabel Marant is the go-to label for pared-down Parisian cool. She launched her accessories line in 1989 (followed by womenswear in 1994), the designer's effortlessly hip aesthetic, her boyish trophy jackets, sleek pants and easy-chic mini dresses are the uniform of models, fashion editors and style-setters alike."

Take a look at some of my favorites from her line:

Marant created a lower-priced diffusion line, Etoile (French for “star”) in 1999. 

She has three stand-alone boutiques in Paris, nine in Asia, one in New York, and wholesale locations throughout Europe and the U.S.

And yes, she is also responsible of designing those love-or-hate high sneakers, that you surely have seen on many fashion bloggers like Chiara Ferragni.
