Going Nautical

Dressing with a nautical thread is not new, in the 1930's there was a culture of cruising for the upper classes and entire collections would be created for a woman to wear cruising. These collections ranged from sports and leisure wear, cocktail frocks and extraordinarily embellished evening wear.

This years S/S collection from Chanel is called the Cruise Collection and you could almost step back in time, the pieces are so beautiful. I would love to have sat on the board-walk and watched that show in the evening twilight, preferably sipping ice cold champagne....
