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).

Summer escape

A vintage summer

Transport yourself to another era with vintage-influenced summer collections featuring sunglasses with oversized frames that take us back to the 70s, and retro swimwear inspired by Brigitte Bardot in St-Tropez.

Your tips for Cadaqués

Surface the sea in Vela Latina with the Charter San Isidre: A boat built in 1925 for fishing purposes that is rented with a skipper and crew to make excursions through the Calas del Cap de Creus or enjoy its beautiful sunset.

If you are an art lover, visit the Fort Gallery Workshop. It opens its doors only in summer and organizes the MiniPrint international competition open to all artists, trends and printing techniques, but always in a small format.
