THE SUMMER HOLIDAY
 
Melanie Ward, fashion director
 
1. Being barefoot; drinking coconut water and having picnics!
 2. My summer wardrobe tends to skew masculine- meets-gypsy
 With 1970s Thea Porter long dresses and Saint Laurent peasant blouses and maxi skirts in the mix.
 3. Flat strappy sandals and gladiators by Azzedine and my new Valentino embellished sandals for evening
 4. Céline pant suits in black and white
 5. Hermes special edition trim bags with fringes by JPG
 They have become my summer staples.
 6. Vintage Indian cotton voile jumpsuits, dresses and shirts
 I love how weightless the fabric is in the heat.
 7. Sunglasses by Versace with rose tinted lenses; Hedi Slimane for Dior Homme mirror classic 
 wraparounds that I bought in multiples and Cartier aviators
 8. Boyfriends white cotton shirts
 9. Eres bikinis and swimsuits, usually black
 10. Isabel Marant cotton blazers
 
 Indispensible summer outfit:
 Something simple like my vintage white gauze jumpsuit  from Morocco with a Celine blazer and Givenchy gladiator sandals.
 This summer’s destinationI have no ambitious travel plans yet for this summer. I may spend my break in Upstate New York and Los Angeles.
