Isabel Marant sells the pieces from her well-priced high fashion label like hot cakes, and next Winter she introduced several new additions to her line-up of tasty trends. Given that Marant's skirts were microscopic, and therefore barely visible to the naked eye, most of the bottom half news this season came in the form of pants. A next generation cargo pant, for example, was swept clean of its superfluous pockets and instead featured dramatic lacing up the legs and a tied, high waist. Also new: a low-slung cropped leather trouser with roomy hips. What wasn't quite as convincing as those two shapes, however, were the woolly mohair sweatpants that looked about as cosy as sandpaper. But Marant was on a scratchy stretch this season and cut up all manner of hairy wools into roomy sweaters, voluminous cardigans and sweeping overcoats. So the pants had a point. The outerwear on this runway, as on almost every influential one we've seen so far, veered towards the mannish and oversized. Though she'll be selling the pants off her Navajo-tinged hooded ponchos or wool coats, we predict that the hottest cake of next season will be her pure white curly lambs wool that was spread with unruly exuberance over vests, jackets and coats.
