When Madam is ready, we'll drive to the harbor. Dear Willy comes along. Yesterday at his place the afternoon was delightful. All the beautiful people from theater and fashion were rubbing elbows. We even stumbled upon Monsieur Christian Dior; once more our Willy photographed his entire collection this season, with his distinctive elegance - so composed.
Do you remember his pictures of the Swiss pavilion at the Universal Exhibition? It felt like being on board a huge liner.

Boat Pieces

Exhibition Sea-pieces, From Max Beckmann to Gerhard Richter, 8 June to 16 September 07
Hamburger Kunsthalle, Glockengiesserwall, 20095 Hamburg, +40 428 131 200
www.hamburger-kunsthalle.de

In 2005, the first Sea Pieces exhibition put together by the Hamburg Kunsthalle aroused so many maritime vocations that several thousand visitors left Germany within the space of a few months. In their mind, at least. This summer the museum is having a second go, this time centered on modern artists: Max Beckmann, Otto Dix, Max Ernst, Paul Klee, as well as photographers, sculptors, and video artists from the XXth and XXIst centuries. Or how the sea has inspired our contemporaries with its stories of "beautiful women, container ships and monster waves."

Spring-summer 07 collection
Marc Jacobs, www.marcjacobs.com

Marc Jacobs' generous spring/summer collection is all about light and softness. It beams with the kind of nonchalant grace that suits the debenture seats at Wimbledon and the alleys of Art Basel. Or, the promenade deck of a luxurious cruise liner.

Not only starfish is interested in coral. Sylvie and Olivia Chantecaille celebrate the little polypoid animal by creating a powder bearing its effigy, a limited edition of 600 numbered pieces. A small part of the income generated will be donated to the American association Reefs of Hope, which strives to save the coral reefs.
Very soft, hydrating, and rich in vitamin C, it illuminates the skin with a delicate glow. A perfect match will be MAC's Moonbathe lip glass, whose wonderful hue shimmers with the exuberance of coral.

Exhibition Martin Munkacsi: Think While You Shoot
San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, 12 May to 16 September 07
151 Third Street (between Mission and Howard Streets) San Francisco, CA 94103, +1 415 357 4000
Exhibition page on www.sfmoma.org

Posterity may have forgotten Hungarian artist Martin Munkacsi, but he was a pioneer of modern photography and an inspiration for Richard Avedon and Henri Cartier-Bresson. His work for Harpers's Bazaar, where he was hired in 1934, brought fashion photography into the modern era. His models were more than just mannequins, as he took them out of the studios to capture them in movement, swimming, running or driving fast cars. His pictures are the emblem for a new lifestyle.

A few lengths in the pool's cool water, on the spray-swept deck, are like a dive into the ocean. We improvise a ball game with cute boys.

Benefit Knows How to Swing

Benny Goodman and his orchestra are in full swing. Between two clarinet solos, we'll snatch an opportunity to refresh our make-up discreetly. With a little luck, the music will coil up inside the case's grooves as in a 78 record, and every time we make up it will play Stompin' at the Savoy.

After the concert, we'll go moonbathing in the pool. Passengers linger in the lounges, ever ordering more champagne. Out here on the deck, the garlands of little lights are out; the water reflects the sky, and it's like bathing among the stars. A quick trip to our cabin for a change of clothes, and still dressed in black we'll return to the party and make a big impression.

The last notes from Benny Goodman's band float around in the evening air. We'll spend the first hours of the night on a crescent-shaped chair; it's like sitting on the Moon! Rays of silvery light shimmer in the huge liner's wake. No intrigue is resolved - and that's the way it should be.
Gatsby keeps us waiting.
