Summerset outfit is the kind I like for this summer. It’s fun, gorgeous color and sunny beaches. Dreaming of St. Tropez, looking like….

Summerset icon Brigitte Bardot..

You know..that movie-star.  She was one of the best known sex symbols of the 1950s and 1960s. She was widely referred to by her initials BB. Her films of the early and mid 1950s were generally lightweight romantic dramas, some historical. In which she often appearing nude or nearly so. During her career in show business, she starred in 47 films. Performed in several musical shows and recorded over 60 songs.

BB was one of the first women to wear a bikini. Later she and her friends would be the first to sunbathe topless at St.Tropez in the late 1960’s.

Brigitte Bardot ’s Fashion Influence

She often walked around barefoot. Wore miniskirts to the Elysée Palace and there where many  imitations of her falsely messy blond locks and black cat’s eye eyeliner. Jean-Claude Jitrois, who dressed Bardot in the Eighties, describes her signature style as “chic-destroy.” Denim brand Seafarer was a Bardot favorite. For a relaunch spring 2013, the brand stewards used archival photos featuring the blond bombshell promoting denim.

In 1986, she established the Brigitte Bardot Foundation for the Welfare and Protection of Animals.
She became a vegetarian and raised three million francs. She funded the foundation by auctioning off jewelery and personal belongings. Today she is a strong animal rights activist and a major opponent of the consumption of horse meat.
