Pourquoi fuir la rentrée (et partir faire du voilier en Corse)

St Barth reopens for the new season. Photographed by Skylar Williams, Julie Rodrigo takes us on a tour of the island in our favorite looks.

The new season begins in Saint-Barth. As the island awakens, a few exceptional addresses are preparing to write the island’s next chapter. Places made for long lunches, golden evenings and the art of losing track of time. The island, as ever, will take care of the rest.

In the heart of San Juan, on October 2, Bvlgari celebrated one year since the opening of its Puerto Rico boutique with an evening at the Museum of Art of Puerto Rico. Between art, music and the House’s signature craftsmanship, the evening became a subtle dialogue between Rome and the Caribbean.

In Gustavia, La Cave du Port Franc 1952 is transformed for the season to welcome the watercolours of Julie Fumat. Between the island’s colours, the light of the Caribbean and a gaze turned towards Saint Barth, the artist invites us to slow down and discover the island in a new way.

Nicolas Ghesquière closed Paris Fashion Week with Louis Vuitton's Spring/Summer 2027 women's collection, titled "Ergonomics". The show imagines a future in motion, where getting from one place to another becomes part of the style. What if tomorrow's city was already waiting for us in Paris?

Chanel unveiled its Spring/Summer 2027 ready-to-wear collection, Free as a Bird, at the Grand Palais in Paris. For his first anniversary at the head of the house, Matthieu Blazy retraces the many lives of Gabrielle Chanel, from her first years to her last, in a collection carried by the flight of a bird.

At Paris Fashion Week, Alessandro Michele presented Valentino's Women's Spring/Summer 2027 collection, Antibiblioteca. The title is a clue more than an explanation. It points to things we keep close without ever using them, and to the strange comfort of knowing they are there, waiting for a day that may or may not come.
