Isabel Marant is a French fashion designer known for her bohemian aesthetic and fervently coveted creations. Embodying a casual, perfectly tousled but never over-thought look, her clothes are worn by some of the world's most fashionable stars including Kate Moss, Sienna Miller, Kate Bosworth, Rachel Weisz and Alexa Chung.

Marant was born in Paris in 1967 to a German mother - a model - and a French photographer father. Her parents divorced when she was young and Marant was raised primarily by her father, whom she resembles: "My father married a German model and dreamt of a little blonde daughter like his wife. Alas, I was his spitting image - very Frenchy!" she has said.
Holboro, Olivia Vogue online; Isabel Marant Biography.06 July 2012. Web. March 10, 2013;.Following her studies Marant interned with Parisian designer Michel Klein in 1987. She also worked with Bridget Yorke on two collections and assisted art director Marc Ascoli on projects for Chloé, Martine Sitbon, and Yohji Yamamoto.
In 1994 she set up her own label with a studio in Paris' trendy Marais district. As when she was young, she bases her creations on her own style and tastes: "I am my first customer... My approach has always been: would I like to wear this garment? I do prêt-a-porter; I do not revolutionise the fashion world," she said in 2011.
Her first show, for the spring-summer 1995 season, was held in the courtyard of a squat with her friends modelling.
Marant won the Award de la Mode in 1997, and the Whirlpool Award for best female designer in 1998. 
Marant’s label is a ‘melting mode’, a trendsetter’s favourite with its mix of minimalist and bohemian. The obvious femininity of floating dresses is offset by louche minimalist masculinity and unlike many of her Parisian contemporaries Marant’s strain of chic has an almost affordable price tag.

Anine Bing has been in the fashion industry ever since she started modeling at the age of 15. Since 2009 Anine is also the front singer/songwriter of the band Kill Your Darlings. Besides music and modeling, she has done several design collaborations with different brands. Eventually Anine began dreaming about making her own clothing line, a dream which is finally becoming true.
"I want to create clothes that are easy to wear. The pieces should work just as good for everyday use as for a night out. To me the quality together with the fit are the two most important factors in a good piece of clothing, so naturally that’s what I focus on in the design"
The clothes are made of the finest materials, all according to Anine’s rock-bohemian style. Anine gets her inspiration from music, L.A. flea markets, bloggers and from life at large.
"I am a mom, but that doesn't stop me from wanting to dress well. My aim is that regardless if you are a mom, a model, a lawyer or a teacher you should be able to find cool and suitable pieces from my label". Anine Bing Biography About. Web. 10 March 2013. www.aninebing.com.

Similar to Isabel Marant, Anine Bing combines bohemian and street edgy styles in her new line. Both designers bring their personal street styles to the lines they design resulting in unique clothing. In addition, both designers are around the same price points as well. Celebrities and bloggers are wearing Anine Bing. One big difference between both designers is that Isabel Marant has been designing since the early 90's while Anine Bing just launched her line in 2013. As such, Isabel Marant has an established following and is opening boutiques and has opened boutiques across the world. Because it takes time to establish good will in a brand and a business, Anine Bing has quite a way to go to reach the status of Isabel Marant. However, her designs are cutting edge and if she makes the right business decisions she would have a very successful line. In comparing both designers Isabel Marant has a lot more pieces in her collection versus Anine Bing who is just starting out. I would say that I really like both designers and look forward to seeing their future success (as well as mine of course :)).
