Five summer looks inspired by the Mediterranean
A tribute to the sea
Whether you’re taking print inspiration from Jean Paul Gaultier and Coco Chanel with sailor stripes, or textural inspiration from fishermen's nets, references to the ocean are the perfect way to bring a touch of the Mediterranean to your summer wardrobe. Stay effortlessly on trend with anchor and shell adornments, and KENZO bucket hats.

Embracing Empordà
From the bougainvillea that lines the building walls to the beautiful mountains and seascapes, Empordà is more than a culture or location, it’s a way of life. Embody the region’s aesthetic with a linen shirt or bohemian dress with delicate embroidery and jute sandals (like LOEWE Paula’s Ibiza espadrilles).

Nautical palette
Bringing us more than just a reminder of sea life and coral reefs, bright coral pieces also strive to raise awareness of problems the oceans are facing, both at the beach (with the Missoni Mare basket bag).
