THE MAXIMINIMALIST

She’s game for a wine at one. Honey, you want one too? Sleek, strappy, starving for more — the steamed clams come with Cartier. Order! She’ll try the soufflé Suissesse in slinky linen slacks. I want the salmon rillettes. The stilettos are twisted — gold leaf or stomping on nail varnish — and dinky Dior bags are starter size. Clack, clack, clack. Crack the oysters open and… breathe.
