Endorses
Even the model’s stance
suggests she can’t believe
we’re putting $ on
something that women
(with style reminiscent
of Jane Birkin’s, circa
late ’60s-early ’70s) have
always had on heavy
rotation. We can imagine
them saying nonchalantly,
“Seriously? This old
thing?” Yup. Seriously.
Because this “old” thing
is going to be something –
courtesy of Celine’s Hedi
Slimane for Resort. Unlike
the Breton tee, the cami –
specifi cally with ribbon-
thin shoulder straps, a
V-neck and equally thin
stripes – hasn’t been
widely worn the way it
was in the ’70s, ’90s and
early 2000s. And no one
appreciates a forgotten
look like Slimane. This, in
turn, might inspire others
(from high end to high
street) to turn this “old
thing” into a ubiquitous,
hot thing. H&M already
has a scoop-neck version
for $17.95. – JE
