High Style in Sun-Drenched Climates

Fashion historian Caroline Rennolds Milbank examines the history of warm weather wear in a beautifully illustrated new book called Resort Fashion from Rizzoli. From the first "beach pajamas" designed by Coco Chanel and Lilly Pulitzer and Pucci prints, to sailor stripes and the Kennedys' laid back yachtsman style, to Michael Kors and Tory Burch's beach-inspired designs and of course the evolution of the swimsuit, Milbank crosses continents and generations. The seven chapters break the looks down by category: At Sea, Stripes, Prints, White, Playclothes, Summer Dress and Bathing Suits, with photos from destinations like Palm Beach, Montego Bay and St. Tropez by legends like Louise Dahl-Wolfe, Norman Parkinson, Helmut Newton, and Scavullo.

Summer is the natural season for bright and colorful Lily Pulitzer designs. To celebrate the brand's 50th anniversary, Lilly has created the "A Colorful Cause" Spring/Summer 20009 collection, a special line designed with nine celebrity women--Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Gwyneth Paltrow, Angie Harmon, Marcia Cross, Catherine Bell, Debra Messing, Brooke Shields, Bridget Moynahan and Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon. The line of swimsuits, shifts, pants, skirts and caftans benefits the Epidermolysis Bullosa Medical Research Foundation with 15 percent of the price going to the foundation. Epidermolysis Bullosa is a rare and painful skin disease that results in blisters and wounds on the body. The Grace shift shown at right was designed by Debra Messing and sells for $428.

Only two more months until this Lilly Pulitzer'ed Steinway can find its home in your parlor. Nothing can better express the fact you travel the Nantucket-Palm Beach axis with the greatest of ease. The venerable design house rolled out this Steinway, among other 50th anniversary treats like a Lillified Jeep Wrangler, at a special preview at The Breakers hotel in Palm Beach back in June. In November, the pieces will finally hit market.
