Further Details
As we have done for the last fifteen years, June and I are spending the early summer in our house in Ramatuelle. This time I will be doing the ready-to-wear report for Stern magazine right here. I am told that all the clothes will be black, very dressy, very elegant cocktail and evening dresses.... I can already see the photos in my mind. Those great elegant models dressed totally in black, with hats and veils, black stockinged legs, high-heeled black shoes, black gloves, every inch of their skin covered, amid all these half naked men and women sunbathing on the beach.
