So many fragrant walks between Granville and Paris, but also in Provence, at the Château de la Colle Noire. Where Christian Dior had planted hectares of centifolia roses, almond trees, vines and olive trees, lavender and jasmine ... First episode: "For the love of flowers". Necessarily.

The top of the basket

It is the mythical accessory of Saint-Tropez of the 1970s. That of Jane (Birkin), Romy (Schneider) and Brigitte (Bardot), the accomplice of crochet dresses and jeans with ephel tabs. Those nostalgic for the golden age of the Riviera (and Hedi Slimane fans) can buy the Celine (2) version in raffia and leather of the basket, available online and in the shop at Place des Lices. Freshly reopened, this unmissable address in Saint-Trop 'will exclusively welcome a capsule of sweatshirts and T-shirts with vintage accents and portraying the port. [ € 450. 12, boulevard Vasserot, Saint-Tropez ]

In the race

For five years, the Parisian concept store of the high Marais The Broken Arm (3) has been revisiting trail shoes from outdoor specialist Salomon - a reference in the genre, which fascinates urban dwellers in search of adventure and sneaker collectors. This time, the store is tackling the XA-Alpine model with a protective and water-repellent gaiter, dedicated to mountain running. Ideal for facing the snow, it will be suitable, while waiting for winter, for lovers of the great outdoors. [ 205 €. www.the-broken-arm.com ]

On my right, Matthew M. Williams, the founder of the subversive claw 1017 Alyx 9SM. On my left, Stüssy (4) , the streetwear brand that all the cool kids are fighting for. Together, these Californians put the spotlight, through this second partnership, on raw denim workwear with visible stitching, available in a jacket (520 €) and carpenter's jeans (485 €) for him, and in a chasuble dress ( 350 €) for her.

Beautiful as a star

They look like knucklebones. Rings, bracelets and earrings by Lebanese Rabih Kayrouz (5) have always had this air that is both anatomical and archaic, like his famous Vertebre cuff. This sculptural ring, in copper gilded with fine gold, named Soleil, displays this same sense of offbeat volumes that the creator expresses with his dresses, but gives off a different sensuality.

Tribute to Yves

There are many Loulou de la Falaise in these Saint Laurent dresses (9). Long or (very) short, cut from a chiffon, entirely embroidered with golden flowers and tied with a lavalliere, they recall the opulence of the Ballets Russes collection from 1976. Revisited in 2020 in the transparencies dear to Anthony Vaccarello, they play the sex appeal card. Of course, this incredible luxury comes at a price. [ From € 8,000. www.ysl.com ]
