Black in summer, I never really think to go for it, but it can be downright majestic. Even more so when worn with gold, like Giorgia…
On top of being downright majestic, she just started her own brand. It’s called Like My Mother and the idea is simply to create a line of lace dresses. Yep, yep, just like in the picture. Awesome, right?

En plus, c’est elle qui pose comme model ! Elle est majestueuse mais simple. Elles ont une touche de D&G mais plus dans le ” DIY ” ( Do It Yourself ) non ?

Summer black is indeed quite splendid, but the piece has to be the opposite of grunge, and be either romantic or minimalist, or both. We’ve bought quite a lot of black summer pieces at my online store, from edgy little black dresses to lace blouses, and they just look so cool paired with summer shoes and bright accessories.

jolie manucure black
Black can look out of place during summer time, but then there are those times when it can really work. In this case I think that it really works. She almost reminds me of woman from the south of Italy.
I really like this look!
Classic beauty never fades… and just love how the masculine bag works with this delicate outfit.

seems extremely light and very elegant. there is also something very romantic about it.
Le noir reste intemporel. C’est magnifique en été. Mêlé à la culture italienne ça rappelle La Dolce Vita de Fellini…Giorgia est somptueuse dans sa robe en dentelle et j’adore le fait qu’elle la combine avec des mocassins plat. La classe.
A line of simple lace dresses. Brilliant.

beautiful!!! love her!!!
Such an amazing dress!
Peut etre que tu n y penses jamais car ÇA TIENT TRÈS CHAUD AU SOLEIL !!
Et que vaguement ça nous évoque une veuve du sud !!
Mais Cela dit c est vrai que c est beau !!!!
Scott is all about the white today. You’re all about the black.
It’s a divine ying yang street style kind of thing.
Delightful.

c’est vrai que le noir en été on a toutes tendances à se dire ‘trop chaud, trop noir, le blanc c’est evident, bla bla bla…” mais effectivement vu sous cet angle (photo, angle de vue (jeu de mot)) alors je dis oui pourquoi pas!
http://www.classy-dressing.com
Understated makes suchan impact- love the loafers!
I agree, black is quite majestic in the summer months. Beautiful shot!
The dress is amazing!

Le look est joli, mais le noir en été, très peu pour moi, surtout au bord de la mer, où c’est presque du mauvais goût.
I love black in Summer, it is very Italian, stylish and chic (and sometimes too warm!) xoxo
I’ve said it before and will say it again that we men cannot wear all black like a woman can. Of course there are designers like Rick Owens, Alex Wang, Balmain, etc. designing great pieces for men but I mean something simple as the black chemise. We never look as chic or completely put together than when a women does it, especially when it comes to formal wear.
I am an earthy tones and neutrals kind of guy but whenever I see a (albeit casual) look like this, it brings me great joy and is very inspires me a great deal.
Sublime. j’avoue que je met rarement de noir en été et je devrais peut être m’y mettre!

I love black in summer. I think it looks so much more elegant and classy than bright colours. I also like black combined with white in summer. As usual Garance – stunning photos!

I love it! In The Netherlands it isn’t that hot in the summer, so you can wear black all year long. Great shot!

I love the name- genius!
If it’s a light fabric or lace like in your picture, black is a very nice option for summer dresses!

I wear black all the time, I admit it, but what I do forget about in the summer is black nails. It actually looks great on her, much to my surprise! Never would have thought of black nails on a hot summer day…

Gorgeous picture and gorgeous dress!
I have to say I was covered into wearing black in the summer after a trip to Crete…a hot mediterranean island…where women are historically wearing black, same as in mainland greece, sicily and plenty of other HOT places. The insight is that it is allegedly because they are so close communities that they always happen to be mourning someone somewhere….but it’s a bit depressing so I choose to ignore that!
Now, to black. I really like it now in the summer as well 1) because it is different from all the sea of whites, 2) because it really helps with some pop up accessories and 3) because it is zoo easy and effortlessly elegant!
bisous bisous
La premiere photo est magnifique de douceur.
Quant a la deuxieme photo : la robe est elegante et geniale avec des mocassins.
J’en aime la transparence et la legerete du tissu ainsi que le decollete.
Oui au noir en ete dans ces conditions.
Le noir j’adore !
Et si en plus c’est en dentelles, alors là je dis : perfection
I love this, Lace always seems formal or very dressy to me, but this photo proves it can be pretty,casual and even Bohemian

Beautful! Especially ecause she combines it with a business look (the bag and flat male shoes ) makes it look more modern! http://madrilicious.com
That dress is beyond gorgeous! Love it and want it!

A touch of gold on her made the overall looks possible for us, winter in black? YES please :D
Love from http://benyricardo.com/itsme!/
An elegant dress paired with black patent flats. This is both elegant and refreshing at the same time. I guess that’s why it works for summer :)
Le noir en été, c’est un peu comme le blanc en hiver, il n’y a pas de raison de s’en priver !
Es precioso el vestido, te queda genial.

C’est très beau, un peu dans l’esprit veuve sicilienne.

La vidéo sur son site est juste magnifique, sublime, ça donne envie de porter toutes les créations et surtout on a l’impression d’être dans un souvenir d’enfance. J’adore.
Ever since living in NYC in my twenties, I find wearing black in the city during summertime super chic.
Tres chic et elegant!!
Tout simplement magnifique!!

C’est chouette de découvrir cette nouvelle marque ! Merci, Garance. J’adore la dentelle, et il faut bien admettre qu’il n’est pas toujours facile d’en trouver de belle qualité, sinon très chère. Les tissus de Like my mother ont l’air d’être bien travaillés, et en plus la collection est plutôt réussie.
La dentelle noire, c’est magnifique. En toute saison. C’est tellement italien !
Giorgia est son propre modèle. Je lui souhaite une belle réussite.
Très Valentino, j’adore !
she looks great, I enjoyed each tine you posted her photos, and i would also want one for my self!!! great dresses
and last – the name of her brand – great name – lots of luck
Darling black dress!
I don’t wear a lot of black but I would wear this dress, it has just the right amount of whimsy…and I love that she has her own line!
