Monte Carlo then…..I was wearing a dress and a hat by Manuel
Canovas, and clogs by Chanel
Monte Carlo now…..I am wearing a silk top by Versace, and
sunglasses by Dolce and Gabbana
It was this time of the year when leisurely days
reign over short, balmy nights; when the mercury raises considerably, sending
flocks of affluent and beautiful people to Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur; when my
twin-sister takes up a well-known-by-now apartment for our fun-filled
get-together.
I was packing to join my twin in 2008, when it occurred to
me I could select and take with me clothes made by one designer only, thus
creating a perfect capsule wardrobe, where each piece corresponds well with
another. It would save space in my luggage, as I carefully chose each `look`,
instead of throwing any miss-matched garments into my suitcase. It required
smaller amount of clothes and accessories, because the overall aesthetic would
be so coherent, I could compile multiple ensembles using the same `building
blocks`. And I could look `model-like` without even trying… after all, the
designer already tested the looks on the runaway. I was conscious I had to pack `one designer`
pieces from current as well as from past collections, to make it eclectic, and not
`fashion-victim-ish`.
Since then, only one designer - with a few accessories from
others added to make it `fresh` - joins me on my travels.
