From One Woman to Another: Isabel Marant Hands the Baton to Kim Bekker

From One Woman to Another: Isabel Marant Hands the Baton to Kim Bekker

As the curtain falls on the upcoming Isabel Marant show, one notable figure will be absent from the runway for the first time in her three-decade career: Isabel Marant herself. Since launching her eponymous label in 1995, Marant has consistently taken her final bow after each show. However, this time she will be backstage, actively cheering on her now creative director, Kim Bekker. Bekker, who has been a close collaborator with Marant for several years, is ready to step into the spotlight, marking a significant transition for the iconic brand. The question resonates: Why now?

During a recent Zoom call, Marant and Bekker shared insights about this monumental change. “I’ve collaborated closely with Kim for quite a while,” Marant explained. “I always envisioned stepping back at some point, wanting to maintain an overview without being deeply embedded in the day-to-day workings. Although Kim took over the design responsibilities last season, I still made an appearance on the catwalk to highlight her contributions. Now, I feel it’s time to fully let her shine.”

Marant’s decision to allow Bekker to take the lead is rooted in her commitment to sharing the spotlight with her protégé, acknowledging Bekker’s hard work. Last season, when asked about the collection, Marant humorously directed the conversation to Bekker, revealing her desire to see her creations recognized.

As Marant prepares for this emotional transition, she admits that stepping back from daily design duties is not without its challenges. “I adore fashion and my company, but I recognize the necessity for a change,” she shares with a hearty laugh. “We experienced burnout last winter, prompting me to realize it was time for a break and a fresh energy to guide the brand.” This courageous decision resonates deeply with Marant’s fans and industry observers alike.

Bekker expresses her gratitude for being chosen to lead the brand, humorously acknowledging the pressure that comes with following in Marant’s footsteps. “It’s intimidating to take on the role within an iconic Parisian label, especially one that embodies the essence of its founder,” says Bekker. “Every design will reflect Isabel’s essence, and I’m committed to communicating that authenticity to our customers.”

In their discussions, both Marant and Bekker emphasize that the transition is a natural progression. “We wanted this shift to seamlessly integrate into the brand’s narrative,” Bekker states, mirroring Marant’s sentiment. “It’s about preserving the brand’s identity while allowing it to evolve.” What’s particularly striking is the genuine lack of fanfare surrounding this change—a reflection of Marant’s unpretentious approach.

Reflecting on her decade-long journey leading to this moment, Marant states, “I’ve known for a long time that this transition would happen. The energy in the fashion world is shifting, and while I understand current trends, I believe it’s vital to infuse the brand with fresh perspectives.” Conversely, Bekker acknowledges the significant influence Marant has had on her, recalling their initial meeting over two decades ago, where their shared aesthetic fostered a connection that would eventually blossom into a powerful partnership.

As they both navigate this new chapter, Marant will continue to be involved in the creative processes of the brand, contributing on various projects while Bekker leads the collections. “I want to support Kim in this transition,” Marant affirms. “I’m excited to devote my energy toward enhancing our brand experience and maintaining our unique vision.”

For Bekker, the journey ahead represents both a challenge and an opportunity. “I see this role as both a responsibility and a privilege,” she explains. “My aim is to ensure that the brand remains relatable and impactful, focusing on the essence that Isabel cultivated while appealing to newer generations.” With the upcoming collection, Bekker hopes to unveil beautiful designs that reflect both the lineage of Marant and the fresh ideas she brings to the table.
