THE ITALIAN FASHION POWERHOUSE DEBUTS A WHITE-DRESS WARDROBE FIT FOR EVERY SUMMER AFFAIR. BY LISA FERRANDINO With a spring/summer collection that included long dark coats and contrast stitching, it might be hard to imagine lightness being offered for the season, but that’s what Prada does best: The label enchants us with collections that draw out femininity. And this summer, the Italian design house does not disappoint, welcoming a package of dresses exploring different white hues. On one luxe piece, creamy tones take on a bohemian look with long sleeves, while throughout the collection, a patchwork motif in cotton or crêpe de chine plays off Valenciennes lace inserts for a look that’s white-hot. 343 N.

As its name suggests, La Mer has serious ties to the sea—in fact, every product contains sustainably hand-harvested sea kelp. So it’s only fitting that the brand goes big when World Oceans Day comes around. On top of partnerships with Oceana, the National Geographic Society, and the Society’s ocean explorers, La Mer has relaunched its World Oceans Day cream for the sixth time in a row. This year’s limited-edition jar of Crème de la Mer contains a unique ‘Blue Heart’ inscription to reflect the brand’s long-standing commitment to raising awareness of ocean preservation; it will be available throughout the summer.
