Paisley has been refusing to calm down for several hundred years. Good for paisley. Étoile Isabel Marant gives the famously busy pattern plenty of room here, covering an easy 100% cotton dress in swirling paisley and then keeping almost everything else refreshingly uncomplicated. Long sleeves, a high neck, popover construction, and an unlined knee-length silhouette give the print structure without attempting to compete with it. It has that particularly Isabel Marant ability to feel a little bohemian, a little ’70s, and somehow entirely unconcerned with which decade it technically belongs to. Better still, this one is new with its original tags. Some patterns come back around. Paisley never really bothered leaving.
