English Version | Midsummer Vacation's Dream

The beach, the “western” express acting as an interrail, an ice cream at dusk, life in flip-flops (but, in this case, swap your flip-flops for sandals, espadrilles, boots and ankle boots from top brands) and a series of other clichés to paint a perfect bathing season.

Full of commonplaces, it is true, but it is these predictable destinations that also trigger the vacationer imagination that we cultivate since childhood and which we do not give up in adulthood. Because they evoke memories of other times while creating new ones. Because only there, in the smell of the sea air and in the almost tavern terraces, does it taste like summer. Because places repeat themselves, like summer vibes, but memories don't - they add up, accumulate, multiply, inimitable. Photography by Branislav Simoncik. Styling by Karolina Gruszecka.
