Les Filles du Bord de Mer – Part1.

Let’s have a dream & summon the beautiful American Katharine Hepburn to a bar in Ostend. Let’s also invite Françoise Sagan from St Tropez & ask her to pick up Brigitte Bardot aboard her racing car. At the same time, Gabrielle Chanel will come from Deauville with Marguerite Duras. All will respond to the invitation of a man, say Corto Maltese.
Picture their maritime silhouettes walking together then disappearing into the mist of a fishing port, why not Antwerp…
Suddenly, all that’s left is Arno’s voice singing “Les Filles du Bord de Mer” – “The Seaside Girls” -, over & over again…
Arno whispered this collection to me, so close & dear to my heart… I dedicate it to him & sincerely hope that you will like this first part as much as I enjoyed imagining it.
