More than 55 years on, the Byblos Hotel remains a Saint-Tropez legend with multiple facets and I love spending my summers there. Dazzling like the sun, the yellow banister of the grand staircase, that leads from the reception to the pool area, is one of my favorite spots in the hotel. It’s a joyful and playful work by French ceramist Roger Capron, that was the perfect backdrop to shoot this wonderful CHANEL outfit.
My look: Cropped black tweed top (S/S 2022 Look 8), and long black tweed skirt with cutout detail (S/S 2022 Look 9), logo brooch with green enamel and crystals, and logo chain waist belt, all by CHANEL, Angel leather platform sandals by Gucci, vintage oversized silk satin clutch by Prada, and oversized emerald green crystal clip-on earrings by Dolce & Gabbana.

Mykonos and Santorini are just a few of the Greek islands that promise unforgettable holidays. I just arrived in Mykonos. However those pictures were taken in Santorini at the beautiful Mystique Hotel before. I love this pink and white checked outfit. It’s fresh and sophisticated. On top, the oversized jacket is perfect to resist the strong wind in the evening.
My look: Checked oversized tweed blazer, checked jacquard crop top, and checked jacquard mini skirt, all by Balmain, quilted leather mules
by Bottega Veneta, pearl earrings and Chanel 19 bag in rose leather, both by CHANEL.

St. Tropez nights are just amazing – one of my favorite spots is the terrace of my hotel, the Byblos St. Tropez. On my way from my suite to the pool area, I always pass the Galerie Palmer. The paintings were the perfect backdrop to shoot this vibrant Fendace look.
My look: Fendace Wild Baroque cropped top with lace, and matching Fendace Wild Baroque ruched midi skirt, and black leather double platform sandals, all by Versace, V-Logo leather shoulder bag by Valentino, Clash de Cartier ring in 18K rose gold with amazonite by Cartier, logo earrings by CHANEL, and Oyster Perpetual 36 with turquoise dial by Rolex.

«Seduction, Stripped Down» is the name Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons gave to the collection.
In her S/S 2022 runway notes, Prada said, «We thought of words like elegant—but this feels so old-fashioned. Really, it’s about a language of seduction that always leads back to the body. Using these ideas, these references to historical pieces, the collection is an investigation of what they mean today.»
In this case the very feminine color red is paired with seductive lace fabric and spiced up with unconventionally placed corsetry boning. The belt is worn inside cinching the waist. Can you imagine that I wear nothing under this dress?! This is modern sexiness that only Prada can do!
My look: Guipure-lace belted cotton-blend midi dress
, crystal-embellished leather clutch, leather-trimmed PVC sandals, buckle-embellished arm cuff, all by Prada, and silver-tone crystal clip earrings by Alessandra Rich.

Do you know La Plonche? It is one of my favorite parts of Saint Tropez, hidden away from the masses at the port. Sitting close into the buildings of the old town, the small beach is fronting the oldest part of the French village and offers stunning sea views. You need to walk round a small coastal path to reach it. It is a legendary, fairytale place. Brigitte Bardot was a regular at the iconic Hôtel de la Ponche around the corner.
I absolutely love to wear Zimmermann dresses in Saint Tropez. It is the perfect brand for the Riviera.
My look: Estelle belted paisley-print linen and ramie midi dress by Zimmermann, yellow and orange Deauville beach tote by CHANEL, Naomi buckled leather mules by The Attico, yellow beaded earrings by Oscar de la Renta, and Clash de Cartier ring in 18K rose gold with amazonite by Cartier.

Saint Tropez is all about the good life, it lives to the rhythm of crazy days and wild evenings. While being here in the South of France, I have barely found the time to post as one event is after the other. Many fashion brands are hosting fantastic parties. One night for example we were invited by Dolce & Gabbana to La Sauvageonne for great food, yummy Dolce & Gabbana rosé and of course lots of dancing. The dress code said «DG Savannah», so I went for this beautiful dress from the new Pre-Fall 2022 collection along with the fun leopard boots.
My look: Ruched sequined zebra-print jersey mini dress, leopard-print pointed-toe boots, Dolce embellished printed leather shoulder bag, emerald green crystal clip-on earrings and emerald green crystal necklace, all by Dolce & Gabbana.

Color blocking at its best with Hublot‘s new Big Bang Unico Summer Purple watch. It’s summer in the city and vibrant colors are trending. Matching your watch to your look is the ultimate style goal. I personally love the combination of lime green and fuchsia. An unexpected mixture, that feels fresh and modern.
My look: Marino crepe double-breasted blazer, Limao cropped crepe halterneck top, Meloia paneled neon canvas straight-leg pants, and Notte embellished satin shirt, all by Jacquemus, The Mini Twist knotted leather clutch by Bottega Veneta, fuchsia suede Tribute sandals by Saint Laurent, and Big Bang Unico Summer Purple by Hublot.

Are you ready for an unstoppable weekend? Then I recommend a visit to The Penthouse at the newly opened Five Zurich to party until the early hours. What to wear? Cutouts and some sparkles will make heads turn. Enjoy being the queen of the night.
My look: Padded-shoulder single-breasted wool jacket, and cutout wool high-rise straight pants, both by Mugler, silver-tone crystal body chain by Area, Cameo embellished earrings by Simone Rocha, leather platform pumps by Gucci, and Hourglass crystal-embellished bag by Balenciaga.

A fresh signature look – sometimes we have to take some time off to clear our minds and find out in which direction we want to go in the future. As easy as it sounds, it can be hard to unwind from your daily duties. But when you take action, you begin to feel better almost immediately. In the summer, I always take some time off my social media, my work, even that it doesn’t seen like this to you as I am still posting daily. It is just well prepared beforehand. I need this time off.
At least once or twice a year, I also go to Clinique La Prairie, where I indulge in a rejuvenating journey for my body and my mind. Here you see me after my stay in a beautiful black and white look.
My look: Cropped button-embellished jacquard-knit blazer, cropped button-embellished ribbed-knit top, and button-embellished stretch-knit flared pants, all by Balmain, Lou mini quilted textured-leather shoulder bag, and grooved cabochon clip earrings
, both by Saint Laurent, Hannah straw visor by Eugenia Kim, Angel leather platform sandals by Gucci, and Carrera Automatic Chronograph by TAG Heuer.

This is THE bikini of the summer season. CHANEL’s bi-color summer essential from the S/S 2022 runway has been probably the most instagrammed two-piece swimsuit so far. Here you see me wearing it to a pool party at my house.
My look: Striped crochet-knit halterneck maxi dress by Missoni, bi-color bikini (Look 3 from the S/S 2022 collection), yellow and orange Deauville beach tote, straw straw visor hat, earrings and white and pink sneakers, by CHANEL.
On my skin: Les Beiges Huile Illuminatrice by CHANEL Beauty.
