Here you score the look of Carolyn Bessette
The return of minimalism
That minimalist fashion from the nineties is back, we can no longer ignore that. Effortless chic colors the streets of Amsterdam. Stores you walk into are filled with black, white, cream, and beige. Colors that perfectly match your oat cappuccino and your blonde labradoodle walking beside you.
We largely owe this to the muse of the moment: Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy. Because who wouldn’t want to walk around like Carolyn?
The influence of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy
Her renewed popularity, partly due to the series Love Story, shows once again how timeless her style is. The Disney+ series Love Story centers around the love story of John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy. The series follows their first meeting in 1992, the budding romance that followed, and the marriage that was in the media spotlight in 1996.
Twenty-six years after her death, she is still seen as the face of effortless chic.
Think of low-waisted denim jeans, a midi pencil skirt, a white shirt, a lace slip dress, and slingbacks.
Why now?
I think the need for minimalism doesn’t come out of nowhere. People are increasingly focused on sustainability, or the circular economy. Buying less, choosing better. Pieces that you keep wearing and endlessly combine. Investing in staple pieces.
The Massimo Dutti collection
Massimo Dutti thought the same way. The new collection breathes Carolyn Bessette. Minimalistic elegance. It’s almost as if the collection comes straight from her closet.
The nice thing is that you no longer have to buy ten different styles to “keep up”. And if minimalism feels a bit too tame for you, how fun is it to rummage through vintage stores and spice up these looks with, for example, a satin scarf or a pair of sunglasses with a quirky frame?
This is your moment
So if you, while watching Love Story, think like I do: “I want her entire wardrobe”, then this is your moment. Run to Massimo Dutti.
