This month’s fashion editorial "Retro Resort" featured in the July/August issue of Palm Beach Illustrated, is a rich throwback to old Hollywood glamour. Classic silhouettes, simple yet dramatic, styled with high impact statement accessories, sets the tone for any starlet wanting to make a scene. The main focus for this story is to showcase that classic pieces will forever be in style, whether it be a chic maillot, gingham print dress or black blazer. To keep this quintessential look up-to-date, focus on fresh fabrics and current cuts, and accessorize with the seasons must-have add-ons. Right now for me it’s all about the statement shoe, platform metallic and suede wedges, PVC and feather heels, this seasons cutting edge cage heel, mixed with bold jewelry in the form of necklaces and piles of bracelets. Stylist tip: Don’t be afraid to mix up your jewelry classics with your latest finds, for this shoot I mixed traditional David Yurman braided cuffs with current Chanel denim chain bracelets. For time-honored prints like gingham, embrace a modern shape. One of my favorites of the season is a one-shoulder b&w gingham dress by Michael Kors. Pair up with a chunky platform to keep it fresh and current. As Coco would say… “A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.”
