Red and turquoise is a dynamite colour combination, in my view. Add shimmer, sequins and plenty of barely pink tulle, and Delpozo just whipped up Cinderella’s perfect frock. In fact, in my fairytales, Ariel, Aurora, Belle et al. are all dressed by Josep Font.
Fall colours –– rust, sage green and ochre –– are beautiful. But how about bursting into Autumn with a neon green oversized sweater or a pair of crepe de chine pants in wildflower pink? This coat, the colour of a Sicilian lemon, is pure joy. And just look at the size of that dahlia. Dahlias come in high wattage colours, and so can we.
I love to know the myths and legends behind iconic fashion items like a Birkin bag or a Rolex watch. This morning, I stumbled upon these little known facts about the Cartier Love Bracelet. “When the bracelet was first launched, Cartier gave pairs of them to some of the most famous couples of the 20th century including the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, Ali MacGraw and Steve McQueen, and Sophia Loren and Carlo Ponti.” And did you know that some hospitals keep Cartier screwdrivers on hand in case they need to remove the pieces from patients in an emergency? Classic. Of course, there’s always room to individualize the bangle with a stack of quirky arm candy. I kind of like this combination of tennis bracelets and high wattage gold leaf. I also like it as is, simple and chic.
