Isabel Marant and Havaianas come together this summer from opposite sides of the beach. Havaianas comes from Brazilian sand, where the rubber thong is the default footwear the moment you leave the water, and Isabel Marant has spent years dressing the Saint-Tropez and Ibiza version of the same coastline. The collaboration pairs that Brazilian origin with Marant’s French resort sensibility, turning the classic rubber flip-flop into something more city-bound.

Marlon Teixeira and Mia Armstrong sit close together on weathered red rocks at the edge of the sea under a soft blue sky, his arms loosely around her shoulders, both barefoot in the campaign's Isabel Marant x Havaianas thong sandals — red tie-dye on him and sand tie-dye on her

Tie-dye prints in earthy sand and saturated red mottle the straps and footbed with a sun-faded surface, while the stripped-back thong construction keeps the sandal pared back. It’s a collaboration that locates luxury in the simplest objects, the ones tied to travel and memory.

Marlon Teixeira sits low in a coral-red monobloc chair on a stone jetty above the sea, one leg crossed over the other, wearing a dark olive ribbed tank top and matching khaki olive shorts with the tie-dye Isabel Marant x Havaianas thong sandals on his feet, dark curly hair and beard catching the sunset light

For the campaign, photographer Anthony Seklaoui trails Marlon Teixeira and Mia Armstrong across rocky coastlines, tiled terraces, and dark streets after midnight. Emmanuelle Alt keeps the clothes sparse, a military shirt left open at the collar, satin trousers falling toward the sandal.

Together, Isabel Marant and Havaianas turn the humble flip-flop into part of a larger idea about heat, attraction, and a summer spent near the water.

This season, Marlon Teixeira keeps the same coastline energy, swapping the French Riviera for Dsquared2’s beach campaign in Rio.
