Match Point – Kelly Prehn: The Art of Summer

Known for timeless elegance that always turns heads and sets trends, Kelly Prehn brings effortless poise to summer dressing, and makes a decade long difference for Asia’s endangered wildlife, one paw print at a time.

In Cannes, Kelly Prehn appears in a bias-cut silk dress with minimal accessories and sun dried hair. In a long cycle of trend-led dressing, the multi dimensional model’s approach remains consistent: clean lines, fluid fabric, and a silhouette that prioritizes movement. The effect aligns with a Carolyn Bessette register – minimal and assured –while reading distinctly her own.

Kelly’s choices are always practical and contemporary. She prioritizes pieces designed for versatility, cuts that perform without fuss. Ballet dancer posture makes everything she wears Merce Cunningham clean.

Though admired for her sartorial choices, the Shu Uemura muse’s off grid focus on more impactful social aspects, including a hands-on approach with Asia’s endangered wildlife with grassroots teams.

Bias-cut to trail boots: she styles out both, possibly even more so in the jungle.
