Save your tears, because it is only laughter here, and there is a party running. This is the post-sho backstage vibe in Isabel Marunt, where Marrant is stepping down from designing his own label after 30 years, a label that Singalhand exported the idea of a cool French girl (or really a calm French boy) for the world, and did not cheat often, but never better. (Marant will still be working on the label behind the curtain, just not design.)
Now his creative director Kim Baker will take Spotlight-and will take charge-and we have just seen his magnificent spring 2026 collection, a sun-race, pack-yor-bag Odd, rich in vanderalst, suede, lace and leather, patch-work and embroidery and embroidered. Tonight there is not a bitwatch moment, but fully charged in the future, completely jump. As I was going, Marunt was all smiling. “He,” he said of Baker’s collection, “was so Isabel Marunt.”
It was actually this. The Baker knows the brand like behind his hand, and his collection impressed because he never kept an aspadrld, veg-mandali, dull-booted leg wrong. In a preview, Baker expanded to the initial point of the collection. “This season was about the idea of a trip – and the journey I am on,” he said. “This is the idea of traveling from place to place on the road, on the road, sunburn, with a backpack that he has picked up on the way.” This idea of the Freewing Nomad saw the baker to the baker’s mart classics -autelitarian blouse, cargo pants, surplus shorts, romantic blouses, sluchi coats, intelligent clothes, and army shirts (wearing themselves on the basis of vintage owners) – and bleach and bleach for bleach and bleach and bleach and bleach.
Still these clothes were even better. Baker worked hard to layer with all kinds of expansion: flying jackets double layering on zips and blossoms; Complex patchworks that bring different textures (shine and perforated) together; And baubles, shells, and embroidery of tassels, all higher ideas of mining crafts. Meanwhile, his men returned with a slum pants with a square-cut room jacket in the early 80s, and the barbaric strip double-breadd tunic shirting.
All this was to move around, on the back of a motorbike, say, or shaking your way in the desert in a bus (or you know, more likely that a pack subway car) was the gland straps and the Sabar Crescent Moon Bag with a capacitic backpacks. It is unlikely that Baker is going on the road soon at any time, with the demands of his new role, so he said that it is more a matter of traveling in his mind. He said, now, he is happy to go anywhere. He has found his place in the sun.
