Un wanted folding fan. But when the air becomes truly unbreathable, even the portable electric fan it’s allowed. What matters is the gestures: the act of “waving”, for those who know how to do it, is the most chic there is. Word of the stars, from Mariah Carey to Naomi Campbellwho elected it as the accessory of Summer 2022.
Derived from the ancient traditions of East Asia, which later became a key tool for communicating social rank in Victorian societies, today the fan is the most useful of the must-haves.
It is no coincidence that the most prominent celebs were the first to try it in Summer 2022, in vacation or on the occasion of fashion shows and events under the sun. A piece that makes a virtue of necessity, popular and regal at the same time, naturally theatrical: to have the illusion of keeping cool, and in the meantime get noticed.
The fan, the accessory for summer 2022
Not just raffia hats, cat glasses and designer bags. In the seaside resorts, celebs walk with a fan in hand. Classic and decorated as tradition dictates: what Eva Longoria flaunts in Marbella, Spain, paired in contrast with the total white short shirt dress by Norma Kamali.

Dotted with polka dotsprobably purchased in a souvenir shop or in a local boutique: on the other hand, if whoever invented the fan in the second century BC was certainly Chinese, flamencoto which the look of the American actress refers.
Fresh ally to the hottest events
Outdoor parade in the hottest hour ahead? Naomi Campbell in Paris he demonstrated to the world how chic it can be to have a portable electric micro fan with you.

In the front row from Louis Vuitton Menswear Spring-Summer 2023, in a sophisticated purple pajama suit, the Black Venus faced the heat and the photographers with a small contraption in hand, pointed straight at the face. Combined with the outfit in the nuances, of course: it is not difficult to find similar ones on Amazon.
The style secret? Match it with the look
Necessary to “fan” with style: a look that leaves nothing to chance. Like the mermaid dress by Mariah Carey flaunted for the Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda show in Syracuse, covered with a majolica and crystal print.
The perfect ally of the precious tiara, a folding fan in plain wood with black lace detail, as Sicilian women dictate. To follow suit, the singer Anitta. Simple and effective: a touch of freshness to copy for a wedding or a summer ceremony.
