DESIGNER: Isabel Marant

IN A NUTSHELL: Marant's label might be synonymous with all things Francais, but she swapped Parisian chic for a dose of freewheelin' Americana under a (faux) blazing sun. The show was packed with sporty pieces, tie dye and biker jackets, as well as the odd thrift store find and (dare we say it) nod or two to Abercrombie & Fitch.

BEG, BORROW OR STEAL: The jewel encrusted jacket was ghetto fabulous.

F-ROW: Anna Dello Russo was a ornate vision of jewelled black and gold.

VERDICT: This collection had an infectious mood of youth and rebellion, and although we can't see Isabel Marant fan Victoria Beckham slouching around in her jogging bottoms and a T-shirt - at least not in public - dedicatees to all things Marant will love the worn-in biker jackets, tiny lurex minis and chunky knit dresses.
