Every summer I go to the same place, my family's home in the Southwest of France. This makes it easy to pack for because I know exactly what to expect and what to bring. This year an addition will be my Meta Ray-Ban sunglasses which I have become obsessed with for taking photos of my kids. I'll also wear these perfect Gap Row-dupes as water shoes wading into Le Lot river.

This summer, I am traveling to Portugal for a Surf & Yoga retreat so I'll need practical but chic (always!) pieces that can see me from day to night, surf to beach! I want swim that is protective and functional but not too technical, and relaxed bohemian pieces that still embrace my minimalistic aesthetic.
Talia Abbas, associate shopping director
It's not summer for me unless I spend some portion of it uninterrupted by the beach, but instead of the annual pilgrimage home to Calabria, my partner and I have decided to switch things up this August: I'll be trading in mozzarella for feta and the Tyrrhenian Sea for the Aegean. After many crowdsourced recommendations, we've settled on visiting the islands of Sifnos and Serifos. I'll likely be in a swimsuit the majority of the day, so dinnertime will be for getting dressed up—silky pants, flip-flops, and easy tanks are what I have in mind, plus a few great accessories to complete the look. Less is more!

I'm planning a trip to Corsica in September with some friends, and the sum total of my plans are to swim in the sea, catch up on my reading, and eat lots of grilled fish. In my dream world, I'd be taking the Loewe puzzle fold tote in raffia to schlep to and from the beach. It wouldn't be a French seaside getaway without a jazzy Jacquemus shirt (I'm very into this poisson print) and I'll be packing Darrow Farr's Corsica-set thriller The Bombshell to lend to a friend—I read it earlier this year and it was part of the reason I was so desperate to visit this summer...

I'm going back to Greece this August to see my parents in Athens before going to my best friend's house in Skiathos—the uniform for which is essentially just swimwear, so I'm bringing all my go-tos from Etam and some linen trousers for the ferry. Lately I've been trying to trick myself into writing more in my free time by amassing a slightly mad amount of beautiful notebooks in the hope that they inspire productivity; this green marbled one is at the top of my list. (My one piece of advice for anyone visiting Greece in the summer: bring a handheld fan for the heat or you will suffer!)

I am so excited to be traveling along the French Riviera this summer with my mom and sister—the ultimate girls trip! We're planning to fly into Nice, and are hoping to stay at Hôtel du Couvent before jumping to a few other Airbnbs and hotels along the coast. We aren't taking off until mid-August, but mentally, I'm already packing. I can't wait to wear this Posse linen vest and capri leggings by Dôen. I'll top off the look with my Sézane basket bag and nautical Anni Lu earrings.
Hannah Jackson, fashion writer
My college friends and I are linking up in San Francisco this summer to celebrate graduations, new jobs, and other various milestones. While we definitely won't be walking the Golden Gate Bridge, I imagine we'll still be getting our steps in, so I'll be packing comfortable walking shoes (I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on a pair of Adidas Taekwondos) and my favorite La Roche-Posay tinted sunscreen. I love my trips to SF, but I'm also not-so-secretly trying to lure my friends out East, so perhaps a BonBon gift box will help show them what they're missing. And, to keep me entertained on my six-hour flight home, I'll bring a paperback—I've been on an Eve Babitz kick recently, so maybe I'll finally dig into Black Swans.

I'm planning to stay local this summer. My friends are calling it a 'NYC Summer'—prioritizing exploring the Big Apple in its best season, since we're usually jetting off to Europe or the Caribbean. So until my proper vacation in September, I'll be planning day trips upstate and weekend jaunts out East, always sure to pack my essentials: a good flip-flop, my Uniqlo white T-shirt, a scalp serum to keep my hair healthy, and my travel pill organizer in the hopes that I'll actually take my daily supplements.
Fred Sahai, associate producer
This summer, I'm meeting my mom in Saint Paul de Vence, and stopping in Paris and Marseille beforehand. I know Paris gets really hot during this time so I'm really just packing light clothes. I'll be bringing a lot of Réalisation Par dresses, because they're so easy to throw on and always make me feel feminine and put-together. The Leila in the Aura print in particular is a summer staple of mine because the red polka-dot pattern requires minimal accessorizing and looks great with a tan. I'll also be walking a ton, so my Repetto Camilles will be coming with me—they're strangely comfortable for a heeled ballet shoe, and go with pretty much anything. For the beach, I've been eyeing a few basket bags and think I'm going to get this J.Crew one to lug around all my essentials. And of course, I'll be bringing many Gimaguas bikinis, because they make my favorite swimwear.

What to expect from Paris Haute Couture Week
Amid a record-breaking heatwave in the City of Lights — with temperatures so high the Eiffel Tower summit was closed to tourists last week — fashion designers prepare their pièce de résistance for Paris Haute Couture Week, which runs from 7-10 July. The clothes on show at Haute Couture are hand-sewn, hand-embellished and expertly crafted by a fleet of artisanal seamstresses, tailors, pattern cutters and other garment workers in ateliers. What they produce, which often clocks up hundreds of hours of labor, will be sold to the world's most affluent customers — celebrities, royalty or wealthy aristocrats and individuals. This season, the compact schedule is bursting with moments to watch out for. Schiaparelli, the hallowed couture house helmed by US designer Daniel Roseberry, will kickstart the week with a new collection that will likely become ubiquitous on the celebrity red carpet circuit (Lauren Bezos Sanchez chose to wear one of his designs for her controversial nuptials in Venice last month). Giorgio Armani, Iris Van Herpen, Elie Saab and Chanel — the latter whose collection will still be designed in-house, as new designer Matthieu Blazy is set to take the reigns in October — remain on the schedule as reliable tent poles of Haute Couture Week, while Robert Wun (the first Hong Kong-born designer to join the calendar back in 2023) will return once more. On Wednesday afternoon, Demna (who only goes by his first name) will present his swansong for Balenciaga, a label he has helmed for a decade (his retrospective in Paris at Kering headquarters included an enlarged copy of the rejection email Demna received from the brand after applying for an internship in 2007). Later that day, Belgian designer Glenn Martens — the wunderkind credited for revitalizing Italian label Diesel and the now-defunct Y-Project — will make his debut for Maison Margiela. Martens will have big shoes to fill, since the house's last couture show in January 2024, creatively led by John Galliano, was considered a landslide success by critics and fans the world over. So popular was the doll-like glass skin makeup used in the show, its creator Pat McGrath released a product line so fans could recreate it at home. Off-schedule, designer Jonathan Anderson is set to present another collection for his eponymous brand JW Anderson. Fresh off the heels of Anderson's Dior debut during the men's shows last week, the Irish polymath plans to reveal the new direction for his label at the Galerie Joseph in the Marais on Monday via a presentation. While he focuses on Dior — he is reportedly the first designer since the label's founder to design both men's and womenswear, after all — Anderson told WWD he would par back runway shows for JW Anderson until 'I feel like there is something to say within my own brand.'

Chanel Supports Cinema Paradiso at the Louvre, Brings Sofia Coppola for Opening Night
PARIS — Fashion, film and fine art will join forces for Cinema Paradiso, a four-day film festival at the Louvre, with support from Chanel. The house has boarded as a sponsor for this summer's edition of the open-air film festival held in the Cour Carrée. The event, which runs Wednesday to Saturday, will transform the heart of the museum into a community space with food, concerts and evening film screenings. More from WWD Chanel Bolsters Management at Charity That Empowers Women and Girls Worldwide Bode's Spring 2026 Reimagines the Fashion Show With Piano Performance, Dioramas and Dolls Oliver Peoples Lands in Paris Longtime Chanel ambassador Sofia Coppola will open the program, hosting a 25th anniversary screening of her debut film 'The Virgin Suicides.' The event is organized by French indie cinema group MK2. Cinema Paradiso first launched in 2013 as a private, ticketed event at the Grand Palais. In 2019, it relocated to the Louvre and shifted toward a free, public-facing event. Chanel was on board in 2015, in part due to its longstanding ties with the Grand Palais, but this year is the house's first time supporting the festival at the Louvre location. 'What we love about Chanel is that they are very sincere in their investment toward cinema. They are supportive of movie productions and movie restorations, and have a long-term engagement with the film industry,' MK2 chief executive officer Elisha Karmitz told WWD, noting the house has a team specifically dedicated to film partnerships. That division is overseen by Elsa Heizmann, Chanel's global head of fashion's relationship with cinema. She told WWD the house's return to the project reflects its broader belief supporting cinema. 'Inviting the public to discover or rediscover films on the big screen in the heart of iconic Parisian locations naturally aligns with Chanel's belief that cinema should be an experience of wonder and sharing,' she said. 'This year's eclectic programming in the Cour Carrée of the Louvre once again promises four absolutely magical evenings.' Chanel brought on board Coppola to present her cult classic on opening night. 'It was a somewhat crazy idea but one that immediately excited us,' Heizmann said of inviting the director. 'Sofia Coppola is a cult filmmaker both for viewers like me who saw 'Virgin Suicides' when it was released 25 years ago and for a whole new generation of young directors and cinephiles who are discovering her films and are often moved or inspired by her work,' Heizmann said. Coppola's longstanding relationship with Chanel runs deep. Chanel recently created the wedding dress worn by Cailee Spaeny in Coppola's film 'Priscilla,' and she directed the teaser for Chanel's most recent Cruise collection. 'The relationship between Chanel and Sofia has been long established and has grown over time through multiple creative collaborations,' Heizmann said. Chanel's renewed involvement with Cinema Paradiso highlights the House's deep and ongoing ties with the industry, a relationship that extends beyond red carpet dressing. 'This [event] perfectly illustrates the uniqueness of the relationship and dialogue that Chanel maintains with the Seventh Art,' she added. This year's event coincides with the weeklong gap between men's fashion week and couture, which starts on Sunday. The Louvre itself is hosting its first exhibition dedicated entirely to fashion, on view through Aug. 24. That made the inclusion of fashion-minded films a natural choice, Karmitz said. 'With fashion in mind, bringing in Coppola was quite obvious,' he said. In the fashion vein, MK2 also programmed Wong Kar-wai's 'In the Mood for Love,' long considered one of the most stylish films of the 2000s. The lineup also includes a tribute to David Lynch, whose films were long distributed by MK2. 'It was important to have to us and for the family to pay an homage to David,' Karmitz said. The festival will close with the public premiere of 'The Secret Agent,' the Brazilian feature directed by Kleber Mendonça Filho and starring Wagner Moura. The two took home the best director and the best actor prize at the Cannes Film Festival in May and will be on hand to present the film. Karmitz emphasizes that this will be a cinema experience, with a full theater-quality movie screen and the quality sound to match. 'It's about honoring cinema with technical excellence, even in an outdoor setting. It's kind of a French way of doing a big pop-up cinema event,' he said. He described the project as an effort to elevate film as an art form among fine art, as well as build communal experiences in this divided, algorithmic age. 'The idea is also to express the fact that cinema is bringing people together to share emotions collectively in front of a piece of unique storytelling,' Karmitz said. 'That's the purpose of art. That's the purpose of the Louvre — to create enlightenment, create education, and to create a community together.' Karmitz noted that the Louvre's broader summer programming reflects a shift toward inclusion. 'It's also a way for many Parisians who sometimes won't enter the Louvre for an exhibition to get in contact with this space and this more classical culture,' he said. 'We consider cinema as a total art,' Karmitz added. 'Cinema would be impossible without fine arts, without fashion, without photography, without music.' Other programming includes concerts and a variety of food trucks for a festival atmosphere ahead of the are distributed through an online and social media lottery, while Chanel will host an opening night cocktail.

Of Course You Can Expect the Paris Ball Sofia Coppola Art-directed to Be ‘Cinematic'
A portrait booth manned by Craig McDean, floral decor by Thierry Boutemy, and cuisine from impossible-to-book Paris restaurant Septime are among the intriguing elements of the Bal d'Été scheduled for Sunday at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. Credit Sofia Coppola, artistic director of the fundraiser, who said she approached the assignment as if she were directing a party scene in a movie. (Her formidable filmography includes 'Priscilla,' 'The Virgin Suicides,' 'Lost in Translation,' 'The Bling Ring,' 'Somewhere' and 'Marie Antoinette,' for which Boutemy did the lush arrangements.) More from WWD Onitsuka Tiger Opens Champs-Élysées Flagship as It Sets Its Sights on a Century Chanel Supports Cinema Paradiso at the Louvre, Brings Sofia Coppola for Opening Night Chanel Bolsters Management at Charity That Empowers Women and Girls Worldwide 'It's a little more nerve-wracking that it's a live event because I'm worried if the dessert comes out late or something. You can't edit it,' Coppola said in an exclusive interview about the event, which will kick off Paris Couture Week. But she approached it with a clear concept: 'It's just my fantasy of what a summer ball would be. 'The idea is really to feel like summer by bringing the garden inside the space with the decor, and for it to feel formal and easy at the same time — joyful, too.' Asked what she considers the most important ingredients in a successful celebration, she added: 'For any party, just for people to feel comfortable, you know — great music, great food and wine and beautiful flowers and hopefully a relaxed atmosphere.' Her mood board includes images of Countess Jacqueline de Ribes, a legendary Paris hostess in the '80s, standing next to enormous bouquets. Another reference is the lavish Proust costume ball of 1971, hosted by Guy and Marie-Hélène de Rothschild. 'It sounded like a fun project, something I've never done before,' Coppola explained. 'And I'm happy to help the museum as a fan of French culture.' To be sure, the Arts Décoratifs holds a special place in her heart. 'I love to visit that museum. It's such a beautiful space. And my husband's band Phoenix had set up a studio there during the pandemic,' she said, referring to Thomas Mars, lead singer of the French pop group. 'They gave them a space to record their last album. So I would go visit them, and it was just incredible to spend time in that museum. 'I thought it's so cool that they support artists and music, and I would pass Napoleon's throne to get to the room where they were rehearsing. So I had great memories and when they asked me if I would want to be involved in the ball, I was happy.' L'Oréal board member Jean-Victor Meyers, who is president of the honorary committee for the gala, called Coppola a 'natural choice' to curate the event given her 'deep personal and professional connections with Paris and French cultural institutions. 'She understood right away what we wanted to do, and some of the references that shaped the event were already common to us,' he said, also lauding her 'very refined taste, and cinematic sensibility.' 'It made her the ideal person to capture the spirit of the evening, with elegance and authenticity.' In addition, Meyers and Coppola assembled an impressive list of famous Paris personalities, patrons and artists for the honorary committee. Meyers said Betty Catroux, Madison Cox, Athina Onassis, Paloma Picasso, Jordan Roth, Lauren Santo Domingo, Cindy Sherman, Mathilde Stern-Pointillart and Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch all shared their unique perspectives and personal experiences. Unique from other fashion galas, where brands typically buy a table and invite guests of their own choosing, the Bal d'Été sold individual tickets, and so the seating plan will be overseen by organizers. This dovetails with Meyers' conviction that a successful ball 'has to feel festive, and it has to be eclectic, bringing together people you don't usually see in the same place.' 'That encourages spontaneity and encounters,' he explained. 'So there will be a mix.' And the energy won't dissipate once the dessert plates have been cleared. 'We have a second part of the evening that Sofia Coppola also developed featuring a surprise performance, then a deejay and an after-party space,' Meyers revealed. 'So this sense of progression and discovery will be key to making the end of the night unforgettable, too.' In one of his first interviews since being named president of Les Arts Décoratifs, Lionel Sauvage said the Bal d'Été would help the museum meet its fundraising goals, since it relies on private donations for about a third of its annual budget, roughly 40 million euros. 'It's about celebrating art, fashion and design,' in addition to 'celebrating the families that help the museum, over generations in some cases,' he said. 'We have a strong group of American donors who have been donors for generations, and we keep on adding new donors. It's a museum people are attached to. 'We would expect the ball to get us to the upper end of our fundraising goals.' Proceeds from the black-tie affair — to be held in the soaring nave of the museum — should help the museum finance upcoming exhibitions, which will include '1925-2025: One Hundred Years of Art Deco,' slated to open on Oct. 22. While perhaps best known for its blockbuster fashion exhibitions dedicated to the likes of Thierry Mugler, Iris van Herpen, Louis Vuitton, Dries Van Noten and Dior, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs also showcases its vast collections of furniture, tableware, textiles, jewelry, wallpaper, art and design objects, glass, toys, advertising, drawings and photographs. The museum boasts one of the largest decorative arts collections in the world, spanning some 1.5 million objects dating from the Middle Ages through to today. Last year it welcome about 800,000 visitors, Sauvage said, noting that 56 percent of them are under the age of 26 and enter free of charge. 'So it's a very, very young museum.' At present the museum is hosting several exhibitions at its main site in the Louvre building's Rohan and Marsan wings, including 'Paul Poiret: Fashion is a Celebration' and 'Bamboo: From Pattern to Object.' Oh, and if you wish to be surprised about Coppola's outfit for the ball, stop reading. It'll be a pale pink dress from Chanel's haute couture studio. 'It's a dream,' she said.
