Brigitte Bardot — the curvaceous sex kitten of the 1950s — is so intimately associated with the South of France that her image has become the mascot of the Cannes Film Festival and its beachside glamour. So it is not surprising that Karl Lagerfeld combined BB with the double C’s of Coco Chanel for the collection he showed on the Saint-Tropez waterfront last week, as France’s annual movie event opened. “What I like is the spirit of Saint-Tropez — the clothes are not supposed to be intellectual — they are easy clothes for an easy life,” said Mr. Lagerfeld, who chose the pouting Georgia May Jagger on a Harley Davidson as the reincarnation of the Bardot look. – From NY Times
