Leigh Radford set out to encapsulate the richness of Paris at sunset in this simple striped top. For inspiration, she fondly recalled late-afternoon strolls through the flea market at Clignacourt and the book stalls along the Seine. For a sense of casual Parisian romance, she chose a keyhole opening for the neckline and three-quarter-length sleeves.
