a (white) summer: Cannes style (Part 1)

image

Carey Mulligan impeccably white even under the rain.

long gone are the days when no white before Memorial Day or after Labor Day was the rule. still, white can get nasty if not used properly. the normal misconception is: in Miami is summer all year long, so white and linens are considered uniforms.

false.

no matter the climate, summer is summer and winter as well. linen in winter? nautical stripes in november? I need to bite my tongue and be polite by saying that if we were to create a fashion police squad down here we would make a lot of money with fines. by that I mean for charity.

Le Festival du Cinema in Cannes confirmed it: white is the new black in red carpet language. The ladies who Cannes mastered it. note to self: watch it close and get inspired if you want to keep it haute.
