Tokyo Weekender July 2016

STYLE
GUCCI HEADBAND
According to the runways, headbands go in
and out of style, but according to our own
rules, they’re always appropriate, especially
during summer. Hot and muggy Japanese
summers require extra steps to stay cool,
and headbands are a must-have to fix a frizzy
mane and to get that fringe away from your
forehead. This silk Gucci headband is adorned
with the house’s Flora snake print, which
features a serpent winding its way around
bouquets of flowers. Both naughty and nice,
it’s begging to be stashed in your handbag for
impromptu beach trips. gucci.com

ARAKS BIKINI
New York-based label Araks uses the most
luxurious Italian fabrics to create effortlessly
chic lingerie and swimwear. While the brand
is mostly known for its sleek undergarments,
it’s worth having a look at their swimsuit
collection. We especially love this red, plum
and pink color-block bikini that combines a
flattering triangle top and low-rise briefs. The
sculpting, stretchy fabric is even woven with
SPF 50+ protection, adding extra shielding
to complement all that sunscreen you’ve
already slathered on. araks.com
