"She really epitomized this idea of effortlessness. It's like she never was trying too hard and I think that sometimes is the most difficult thing to achieve," said designer Peter Som.
"That gaze, the voice, the hair. It was just that confidence. That was something that I think men and women alike could relate to," he said.
Among Som's favorite Bacall fashion moments is a casual one from 1946. She's leaning in a photo on a bent knee propped on a stool near a fireplace in a wool trouser and loose turtleneck suit designed by Leah Rhodes. The pleats are sharp and the sleeves billowy. The only skin bared: her feet, slipped into low-wedge slides, yet her piercing signature sideward glance and wave of long blond hair took the look in a new direction.
"She was the opposite of Marilyn Monroe's overt sexuality, yet she still oozed sensuality out of every pore," he said. "The clothes are so simple and so chic, and they still feel today so relevant. They feel like clothes you kind of want to wear."
As Som put it of his standout favorite that has Bacall at that fireplace in trousers and sweater: "It's kind of a butch pose, you know, but she was just so cool. She was a real dame, an old soul even back then, with an innate sense of how to wear things, or not. How she carried that off was magic."

What comment did Benedixt say about the titles?
You know the drill, sorry for the late reply and all 😬🤙
On 30 September, she said:
"I think that of course it will be difficult for them in the beginning, that's clear, but my sister makes wise decision – also as a Queen – and she thinks ahead, not just in the moment, and I think that is the most important thing."
Definitely the most eloquent comment on the matter. Maybe they should just put Benedikte in charge of their PR 🙈
