Stripes, S’il Vous Plait

Warm weather and the lure of the Mediterranean motif.

As our thoughts turn to summer, we are reminded of the greatest migration of them all­—from Paris and its arrondissements down to the shores of the Mediterranean, where the combination of sun and bright espadrille stripes are an irresistible force. And when those stripes are in shades of crisp red, white and blue nothing could be more French … or American.
