Salt and Stone

a stone terrace above a rocky coast, from white midday sun to the last warm hour

The place is a terrace cut into a rocky coast: dry-stone walls at sitting height, pale paving, a few sunbeds and woven chairs, and below all of it grey rock dropping into water that goes from turquoise near the shore to slate further out. The photographs run from late morning, when the sun is overhead and the stone throws it back white, to the last hour, when everything turns the colour of the wall.

What repeats is the base layer. Every look starts with a swimsuit or a bodysuit that fits like one: a white one-shoulder with an asymmetric cut-out, a navy bustier with a belt, an olive corset shape, a rust halter, an emerald with the waist cut away, an emerald with long sleeves. What changes is the layer that makes it leave the sunbed. Linen trousers in white or cream, wide enough to hide the feet. A linen kimono with a woven border. Satin kimonos printed in blue paisley or green and plum scrollwork. Satin trousers in a blurred ikat.

In practice it is one decision: fitted underneath, loose on top, and never two prints at once. Flat sandals, a straw hat if the sun insists, a cup or a glass in one hand. Linen for the morning, satin once the light drops.

It is the closest this wardrobe gets to a holiday. The watch stayed on.

A terrace cut into a rocky coast: dry-stone walls at sitting height, pale paving, a few sunbeds and woven chairs, and below it grey rock dropping into water that goes from turquoise to slate. Late morning, when the sun is overhead and the stone throws it back white, through to the last hour, when everything turns the colour of the wall. What repeats is the base layer: a swimsuit, or a bodysuit that fits like one. A white one-shoulder with an asymmetric cut-out. A navy bustier with a belt. An olive corset shape, a rust halter, an emerald with the waist cut away. What changes is the layer that makes it leave the sunbed: linen trousers in white or cream, a linen kimono with a woven border, satin printed in paisley, scrollwork or ikat. One decision, really. Fitted at the base, loose on top, never two prints at once. Flat sandals, a straw hat if the sun insists, a cold glass within reach. Linen for the morning, satin once the light drops. It is the closest this wardrobe gets to a holiday. The watch stayed on.
