...collection of short shorts, dresses, blouses and shirts created by her friend, Designer Arlette Nastat. Their collection this year tends to be ampler as Bardot demonstrated by modeling one of her striped angora sweater-tunics and gold lame thigh boots. She then retired to the seclusion of her St.-Tropez villa to celebrate her 43rd birthday...

The painting is drenched in idealized wistfulness, even to the title, taken from Baudelaire's L 'Invitation au voyage: "There, all is order and beauty/Luxury, calm and sensuous pleasure." No effort can restore its lost shock value, and this, in a different way, is true of the Derain as well. Today we luxuriate in its weighty design and audacious color...
