La Piscine (1969)
The grandaddy of stylish pool inspiration: Jacques Deray’s 1969 thriller starring Alain Delon, Romy Schneider and a very young Jane Birkin. With costumes by Courrèges and a stunning Côte d’Azur pool serving as the backdrop for both steamy sex and something much darker. La Piscine is the stuff of mood-board dreams. It’s also a perennial designer reference, popping up in collections from Tory Burch and Simon Porte Jacquemus.

“latest scandalous summer favorite”
Syd Steinberg
“Jane Birkin in everything really but this film in particular. The little dresses, the sunglasses, the denim. Perfect summer wardrobe. In classic Jane style, the clothes never try too hard.”
Krista Anna Lewis
“It hits every summer! Drama, horniness, beautiful cinematography all at the perfect slow juicy pace of summer. A late movie twist that turns out to not be late movie at all.”
