Summer Nights
Light dresses, luminous details, and accessories that illuminate the skin
On summer evenings, when skin is golden and light is soft, every detail — a drape, a shimmer, a jewel — stands out with greater intensity. It is the season for caressing dresses, sculpted necklines, and fabrics that shine without excess. Free rein to long gowns in liquid satin like those by Alberta Ferretti, to sheer georgette dresses from Erdem, Zimmermann, or Chloé, to bias-cut slip dresses such as those by Victoria Beckham, to iridescent tulle tops and delicate lurex co-ords that play with light without going too far. The best colors? Those that enhance tanned skin: pale gold, bronze, rose copper, pearl white, champagne, dusty lavender, glossy black. Accessories do the rest — and take centre stage. Chandelier earrings or ultra-thin oversized hoops, like those by Chloé, with their organic shapes and hammered, handmade-like finishes. Ankle-strap metallic sandals seen in the collections of Aeyde and René Caovilla. Mini-bags crafted in golden raffia or glossy leather by Cult Gaia or THEMOIRè. And then silk scarves to tie in the hair, as suggested by Ferragamo or TOTEME.
