The French Enigma
Posted: June 3, 2013 Filed under: Clothing | Tags: Fatshion, fatshionista, Manon Baptiste, Navabi, Plus size 3 Comments »Considering how easy it is to access information these days, trying to find out about the people behind the exclusive Manon Baptiste line from Navabi is darn well difficult. No website, no You Tube clips, no interviews, no nuffink. Still, I suppose a little mystery is a refreshing change in an age where everyone knows everything about everybody. What I do know is that every season there’s something in the collection to make me want to hit “add to basket” repeatedly so I can wear the same outfit every day for the rest of the month without smelling like I’ve done just that. Manon, I love you.

Visual Bliss

I may even have closed my eyes momentarily. Visual bliss.
£220, Marc by Marc Jacobs at Net a Porter
A clean simple silhouette with geometric colourblock inserts. It has my name pencilled all over it.
I’ve just found this on the Navabi site,
£116.90, Manon Baptiste at Navabi
Clean simple silhouette with geometric colourblock inserts. AND in my size. It has my name inked all over it.
The similarities to the Marc by Marc Jacobs version can’t be denied and I kinda wish that Manon Baptiste had changed more on it to make it even BETTER, not just created a carbon copy. I do wish the plus size version was still a dress, not a top. I’d still wear it til it was threadbare anyhow. What do you think?
