Patou Partout. The French Maison, founded in 1914, has form when it comes to short skirts. Jean Patou dressed Suzanne Lenglen for the courts in the 1920s and is credited with inventing the tennis skirt, the pleated one that scandalised the crowds and set women free in the same move. LVMH woke the house up again in 2018 and that lightness is still there.
I truly love the combination with the iconic volume top in turquoise stripes, a color you cannot go wrong with. Aqua colors ran straight through the Cruise 2027 collections.
Which brings me to the bags. My Fendi Baguette in Tiffany Blue, the 2022 limited edition created for the 25th anniversary of Silvia Venturini Fendi’s 1997 icon, along with the miniature version in silk, belong to my special items in my closet.
My look: Iconic volume top, and bloomer mini skirt, both by Patou, Loubi Bee Alta 130 leather platform sandals by Christian Louboutin, Impatiens drop earrings in turquoise by Oscar de la Renta, crystal-embellished cat-eye acetate sunglasses by Fendi, limited edition 2022 «Tiffany Blue» leather Baguette shoulder bag with strap, and limited edition 2022 nano Baguette charm bag in «Tiffany Blue» silk with sterling silver hardware, both by Fendi x Tiffany & Co.
LoL, Sandra
