Welcome to the favorite beach of our L*SPACE President-Creative Director, Monica Wise: Juan-les-Pins!
Located to the South of Monte Carlo’s gambling and Nice’s glitterati, and to the North of Cannes’ resort culture, Juan-les-Pins is a French beach town legendary for its spotless white sand, laid-back vibe, and vibrant night life.
Painted by Monet and Picasso, Juan-les-Pins also counted among its early visitors Coco Chanel, who was refused entrance to a casino because she was dressed casually in the new craze – “beach pajamas.” We have Mlle Chanel to thank for introducing the fashion of beachwear and making sunbathing socially acceptable – particularly in JLP, where, these days, chic bikinis and cover-ups are de rigueur.
Want to see what Monica would pack for a quick jaunt to Juan-les-Pins? Head over to the Swell Blog to find out!

In her element as a Tropézienne, Brigitte Bardot cultivated an effortless, tousled, laid-back brand of glam that was all her own. The actress, style icon, and animal activist had a natural sex appeal and carefree spirit – the opposite of her tightly corseted bombshell contemporaries Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield. Her easygoing glamazon aesthetic was a breath of fresh air to beach babes (and bros, of course) when she hit the scene in the 1950′s, and continues to inspire today.
