Red Valentino’s dress.
Antibes, ville de mon enfance,
Objet de mon affection,
A jamais dans mon esprit et mon cœur…

Antibes is a well known town on the French Riviera, located between Cannes (12km) and Nice (20km). Antibes is a historic town ; it was the only town on the coast to be protected by ramparts.

Iris (rainbow in Greek) is the rainbow deesse and messager of the gods. She is charged to deliver the divine messages to the mortals. The rainbow is the Iris manifestation ; it is the bridge between the earth and the sky. To the poets, the rainbow is the track of the Iris’s foot when she descends quickly from the Olympus to the earth. They also name the rainbow as the Iris’s scarf.

Dreaming of a delicious summer

Lost in thoughts,
I dream of a flowered and delicious summer.
The taste of ripe fruits,
The heady perfume of flowers
come to me.
I look forward to the arrival of summer,
Season of joy and hope.
