this dress


Isabel Marant can be hit or miss a lot of the time. Some pieces I instantly and absolutely love - others I'm kind of 'meh' about, and then some others I'm kind of like 'huh?' about. BUT this dress at Heist is amazing. Called Marion, it's all silk and looks perfect for spring, or a garden party.  I find that IM pieces are often stronger in person and pictures don't usually do them justice.  Online I might feel ambivalent about a piece, but then I see it in person and see the details and then I appreciate it more.  I haven't seen another line that works the same way - perhaps it's things like the print or embroidery that are just tricky to photograph.  Then, sometimes I see things like those inside-out sweaters with yarn hanging off them and I feel I've missed something completely!
