Constructing the daily ensemble is akin to the childlike task of cut and paste. Gluing and manipulating objects into shapes, an ensemble emerges against the backdrop of a flexible form called the body. The clothes are the beginning and the accessories are the finish line. To start us off, a pairing of blue jacquard meets polished sterling silver stones among a series of various poses and various accessories cut to size.

Standing poses take shape from their accessories. At first that comes from the always-luxury Manolo Blahnik boot, whose stiletto heel is designed like a sharp, geometric hourglass. Dressed in a cool, mid-weight crepe shirtdress—tipped in white seams and buttons—the body takes a quiet bend at the hip. At last is the lighthearted organza dress with balloon sleeves, floral embroidery, and a dropped skirt that fans out below. Fix a pale paper fan—good for keeping cool in lingering heat—with it, and the ensemble is complete.
