Isabel Marant's team was busy this morning putting the finishing touches on her first-ever US store, which opened today in NYC directly next to her husband Jerome Dreyfuss's shop. She hosted a breakfast for members of the press — and since it was a small French meal, the event was definitely more focused on fashion than food. Her latest collections are organized around the space in batches by color, with certain areas reserved for the lower-price Etoile line.
The space was designed in collaboration with the French architect Nicholas Andre, who also worked on her three Paris boutiques. They created installations near the windows and doors made of ash wood panels, but it's hard to focus on those while Isabel's clothing hangs nearby.
The store, at at 469 Broome Street in Soho, officially opened today at 2PM.

>> Organic's John Patrick Scores Television Show —Sustainable fashion pioneer John Patrick has just been greenlit for a show on Discovery's Planet Green channel, documenting the creation of his Organic line from his studio in Albany to production in Manhattan to his New York Fashion Week presentation. The show, titled The John Patrick Show, is expected to air early next year. “I see this project as becoming part of the organic heritage of the twenty-first century,” Patrick says. “It’s an amazing way to document and assist the entire movement forward for the next generation. We’ve made tremendous strides, and this project represents an investment in carrying the message about intelligent and conscious design.” Patrick isn't the first fashion insider to appear on a Planet Green show — Angela Lindvall
