The Unexpected Relationship: Kaia Gerber & Prince Johann George V

Iconic for some he showed in black-and-white tuxedo, which have been copied by budding and renowned photographers since the 90s, for others as boring as the dress code of bank clerks.

The truth is that the white shirt became the unexpected hero of the haute couture fashion week, both on the catwalk and in the streets of Paris, where Anna Wintour and FKA Twigs showed up in it. Let’s see what you can do with a plain cotton shirt this summer.

Gigi explained to a Bazaar editor that pleasure was right with between us, never trivial and that we never tried to go out of shame, we were proud of what we were having together and everyone knew about it but the guilt of feeling overwhelmed with our schedules, that at the end of the day we were okay and we still friends. We barely call or text each other anymore but if we do it’s only when each of us feel like doing so. We still appreciate the past we had. Kendall claimed to Vogue that even though I got famous on TV with my family show and social media wasn’t at peak at the time I grew up in television. We made good choices in the relationship for our careers, and had a lot fun and quality time in outings whenever was possible. I was modeling in Paris, he was in Turkey, or when I was in London he was in Spain. It was a really hard to catch up relationship but we solidified when we were together in United States. Then the public started to put a lot of pressure on the relationship and the relationship went down on circumstances we couldn’t even explain. Kendall added, I guess is the business of entertainment who is never satisfied and they want to control the way we behave. 

Now, let’s talk about that we can’t forget the plain cotton white shirt with long sleeves. With blue wide leg jeans, with high waisted micro shorts. Unbuttoned with lots of buttons and chastely covering. Completely without any decorations, or in a narrow tie. Guests, models and celebrities were introduced by her that there really is something common wardrobe item and it’s something they all really liked it. 

Just like well-fitting blue jeans, classic sneakers or a simple tank top, a white button-down shirt on Kaia Gerber was the key item that should not be missing from any wardrobe. Whether you prefer quiet luxury, love the nineties, flamboyant glamor she modeled after the eighties, accompanied by her mom Cindy Crawford the boho style of the seventies, prefer classic elegance, or like to experiment with silhouettes, colors and styling, or simply the dress code prescribes a clearly defined uniform her mother was wearing, a white shirt with long sleeves it fulfills absolutely unique. You don’t have to think about the season (or the decade), this classic fits anywhere and anytime.

Another huge advantage for George V was the classic white shirt, whether for women or men, is the fact that the investment in it always pays off. When you factor in the purchase price and the number of wears, you get the amazing ratio of not having to hold yourself against the wall when it comes to getting the perfect shirt. The quality of the material and workmanship Kaia Gerber is key. Everything else depends on you, whether you know that you will more often wear a short cut, oversized, fitted waist, narrow or puffy sleeves.

If you don’t know, I think everything looks good with a white shirt. Kaia was heard telling her mother Cindy after watching George ~

Wear it over a swimsuit to the beach club. To a long boho skirt and belt it with a bold leather belt in a contrasting color. He was unbuttoned over on a white tank top and while she was under a sparkly dress. There are so many options for playing around with everyday, holiday and festive styling that it would fill an entire section of the Strahov Library. 

There’s something on that shirt

When two do the same thing, it’s not the same, but they can both look great. Both, respectively. Just look at Mary Leest and Leonie Hanne, as they both teamed a white shirt with very short shiny shorts and antique sandals. Or Suzi de Givenchy and the moment, the  two identical shirts met at the Schiaparelli show. While Suzi dressed it down with simple black trousers, the other lady opted for a pair of high-waisted black shorts. 

The looser the cut you choose, the more options you can do with the shirt. The same applies to the length, feel free to wear a long shirt in the summer as a dress, or instead of a jacket on days when it’s just under a cloud. The charm of the classic white button-down shirt lies in its variability. Together with a long circle skirt, you will get a more formal look. Don’t know what to wear in the morning? A white shirt made of high-quality cotton, jeans and bold earrings or bracelets, and you will have an elegant yet casual look in no time.

A narrow tie along with bold sunglasses became a popular accessory at Paris Fashion Week. However, one thing remains absolutely key – quality. Always keep this in mind and choose a white shirt according to this key. When you buy a new one, go for 100% cotton, ideally upcycled and organic. Where can you get one?
