Once the preserve of hippies and ravers, tie-dye has moved into the mainstream. Psychedelic and colorful, the trend prominent in the ‘60s and ’70s has returned to the runways, giving 21st-century fashion a playful twist. With its uplifting mood, the trend gathered steam during the pandemic and has remained popular ever since. I love my Gabriela Hearst tie-dye pieces that transport a little bit of summer into fall.
My look: Massey tie-dyed cashmere maxi shirt dress
, Severino frayed tie-dyed cashmere scarf, and Vettel striped cashmere cardigan, all by Gabriela Hearst, Marble Silk Constance bag by Hermès, neutral Amber Ghost suede and PVC sandals by Alexandre Vauthier, Windsor round acetate sunglasses by Isabel Marant, Maillon de Cartier 16mm 18-karat white gold diamond watch, and Clash de Cartier bracelet MM in white gold, both by Cartier.

I am invited to Gstaad this weekend for a fun birthday / wedding anniversary celebration. It feels good to go back to my home away from home, even though my favorite hotel, the Gstaad Palace, already closed for the summer season. When people ask me why I love this hotel so much, the explanation is easy. Everything that happens in Gstaad, happens at the Palace. The lobby is a vibrant yet cozy place where you can sit for hours to enjoy great conversations, amazing food with your friends or people who might have just met.
My look: Damask and jacquard tulle dress, floral-print crossbody bag, Made in Heaven pearl choker, and peace pearl-embellished pendant earrings, all by Moschino, La Di Da 130 two-tone metallic leather platform sandals by Aquazzura.

Munich has always been my happy place. I absolutely adore this city in which I had lived for eight years before moving to Chicago and then Zurich. Therefore I was so happy to be back to see my friends, to enjoy Bavarian food and to walk around the famous Maximilianstrasse for some serious shopping damage.
My look: Aliane patchwork floral-print linen midi dress by Zimmermann, Bougainvillea 105mm sandals by Aquazzura, gold-tone necklace
by Saint Laurent, yellow beaded earrings by Oscar de la Renta, and denim tie dye cannage small Caro bag by Dior.

Challenging my inner Laura Ingalls Wilder… Driving with the MASERATI Ghibli Hybrid through the Swiss countryside in my Liberty floral print maxi dress, I remembered the American Western television series «Little House on the Prairie», that I loved to watch when I was a child. It is the perfect outfit for a picnic in the meadow.
My look: Liberty floral print maxi dress by Gucci, Lapee metallic-toecap leather ankle boots by Isabel Marant, Sunshine logo-embroidered woven tote bag, and raffia and stainless-steel bottle holder, both by Fendi, cat-eye acetate and metal sunglasses by Bottega Veneta, and Woody canvas-trimmed raffia sunhat by Chloé.

Looking back, the ’90s feels like a golden era—the Game Boy! The Spice Girls! The last cell phone-less generation! but most of all when it comes to the fashion. Do you remember the impossible-to-forget popcorn shirts – aka magic bubble shirts, or scrunchie shirts, as they can also be called – from the late ’90s/early 2000s? They are back! A shirt that’s initially tiny enough to fit a doll, but expands large enough to fit your boyfriend, and that everyone had put on the «never again» fashion list, is making a comeback. I unpinned mine with a matching bra top.
My look: Cropped satin-cloqué cardigan, satin-cloqué sports bra, and Bite layered distressed denim and cotton-piqué shorts, all by Alexander Wang, mirrored-platform metallic-leather sandals by Miu Miu, green flap pocket bag with colorful strap (Look 5 Pre-collection Summer 2021), horn layered necklace by Isabel Marant, Louise long necklace by Louis Vuitton, and Loulou heart-shaped acetate sunglasses by Saint Laurent.

Blended by the breathtaking beauty of Santorini and its amazing sunsets, I wore this vibrant look for a night out in Oia. It is an amazing destination to have your vacation with its Cycladian architecture, the picturesque scenery, and the volcanic landscape. Every corner offers a photo opportunity. Make sure to wear flat sandals or wedge platforms for exploring the stone paved alleys of the Greek island. Another thing to have in mind is that the stones might get really slippery, thus you must be careful and don’t risk your safety for a picture.
My look: GG diagonal silk kaftan, GG Multicolour platform espadrille, GG Marmont Multicolour small shoulder bag, and cat-eye marbled-acetate sunglasses, all by Gucci, faux-pearl tassel earrings by Oscar de la Renta, Oyster Perpetual 36 with turquoise dial by Rolex, and J’Adior bracelet set by Dior.

Versace‘s iconic «Trésor de la Mer» motif celebrates the vibrancy of nature. Originally presented by Gianni Versace for S/S 1992, the print shows a beautiful array of starfish, coral, and seashells. For S/S 2021, Donatella Versace seeked inspiration from her late brother’s breathtaking collection and created looks for the modern little mermaid. Here, you see me wearing it on my holidays in Santorini, Greece.
My look: Trésor de La Mer cropped embellished printed cotton-jersey T-shirt, Trésor de la Mer-print scoop-neck swimsuit, starfish-print cap, and white Rodeo pop-print shoulder bag, all by Versace, Double G matelassé wedge espadrilles, and vintage elastic belt with star buckle, both by Gucci, Power butterfly sunglasses by Balenciaga, and distressed denim shorts by Saint Laurent.

Hello from Santorini where I am on holidays with my daughter right now. The Greek island is one of the most photogenic places you can imagine. The view of the contrasting white houses built on the dark lava cliffs surrounded by the blue sky and deep blue sea is absolutely breathtaking. It has been almost 25 years I was here the last time. Today, the city of Oia is buzzing and has become an absolute hot spot. We are staying at the beautiful Mystique Hotel Santorini, where we took these photos before having dinner at the Lure restaurant, located on top of the hotel.
My look: Baroque-print one-shoulder dress, white Rodeo pop-print shoulder bag, and black leather double platform sandals, all by Versace, and single earring by CHANEL.

This week, I flew to Berlin for a very special event hosted by Veuve Cliquot: a unique closing dinner of the retrospective of exceptional artist Yayoi Kusama at Gropius Bau. The dress code said «colorful chic», so I went for this artsy, sophisticated look with a touch of elegance and a little bit of Veuve Cliquot orange.
My look: Layered embroidered silk-organza and pointelle-knit dress by Fendi, The Pouch large gathered intrecciato leather clutch by Bottega Veneta, Arkendisc 130 patent-leather platform sandals by Christian Louboutin, Horsebit blue topaz diamond white gold ring
by Gucci Fine Jewellery, and gold-tone, bead and faux pearl clip earrings by Oscar de la Renta.
Stay tuned as I will show you much more of this wonderful evening!

Looking good is all about having the right energy. If you feel good about yourself, it’ll be much easier to project that inner contentment into the world. You can wear the most stunning outfit but without the right attitude, you won’t have the same charisma. The best way to get started is taking some time off as I did at the Clinique La Prairie this spring to rewind for an instant energy boost. After my stay, I was ready to kick some … cannot wait to go back soon.
Speaking about fashion, I am in love with this outfit and hope you will be too. This is one of the most comfortable, yet sexy looking jumpsuits in my closet.
My look: Two-tone tulle-trimmed ponte halterneck jumpsuit by Balmain, embellished silver-tone belt and silver-tone, crystal and faux pearl clip earrings, both by Alessandra Rich, Playboy Lips appliqué canvas book clutch by Olympia Le-Tan, Angel leather platform sandals by Gucci, and Tank Française 25.05mm medium 18-karat gold and stainless steel watch by Cartier.
