A HEATWAVE

This beige linen mini skirt by Louis Vuitton is lightweight and carefree. Typical for the early aughts the skirt comes with a belt of the matching material, that, if reversed, unveils a flower print. Additionally, the skirt is decorated with contrast stitching in black and front pockets, for a more interesting and utilitarian look. 

A rare find is this Nina Ricci vintage cover-up, in a yellow knitted maxi dress style, embroidered with white paillettes to give the piece a special something extra. The delicate embroideries are shaped like one of the best-known signifiers, a dove, taken from the famous Lalique perfume bottle, together with the brand’s name. 

Masterfully Hermès intertwines its heritage as a luxury Maison rooted in sports equipment with a fashion statement. This bathing suit cannot only be worn when tanning by the sea but also makes a perfect companion in summer with some shorts or a sarong at the beach bar. The combination of terracotta, sage, and white is muted and elegant, offering the wearer an array of possible combinations to be paired with. 

With mules still being the hottest summer staple, this kitten-heeled pair by Jimmy Choo can again take center stage. In a floral print of pink, white and green these have been for sale the first time approximately 20 years ago and just now can be taken out of their box for the Y2K revival again. 

Soft and light – this vintage shirt must have been designed with a light lunch at the sea in mind. Decorated with gold buttons in color matches of pink and green the shirt can be fully buttoned up or worn with an open front over a crop top. The shoulder pads sewn into the shirt can easily be removed for a more effortless look, without destroying the structure of the shirt. 

Matching the Italian mentality of the brand, Patrizia Pepe has created a bright red boho-style summer dress. The short skirt is combined with long sleeves and a bardot-style collar for a dramatic effect.
