«The LaQuan Smith muse is a woman who appreciates glamour; someone who is not afraid to dress up in the middle of the day just to run her errands “like a boss woman should.”» – Laquan Smith
I am such a big fan of the work of Laquan Smith. His clothes are sexy and fun to go out with. Here you see me on the streets of London, my happy place, during the day, running some errands before going out. My favorite coat of the season is keeping me nicely warm.
My look: Belted padded hooded shell coat
by Alaïa, cold-shoulder twill halterneck midi dress by LaQuan Smith, limited edition Maria Frou Alta satin platform pumps, and Paloma mini bag with flamenco strass, both by Christian Louboutin (Flamencaba collection), Clash de Cartier bracelet MM in white gold by Cartier, embellished leather belt, embellished clip-on earrings, embellished choker, and heart necklace, all by Alessandra Rich.

The color combination of green with purple might leave others green with envy. Personally speaking it is a match made in heaven and a beautiful alternative to the typical holiday colors, red and green. I wore this look for a night out in London.

At Louis Vuitton it’s all about the bigger the better with those oversized proportions and details, such as the big belt buckles. Have fun to explore your femininity in a larger-than-life way.

«Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach. Flexibility is a requirement for survival. Have the will of a tiger, the strength of a leopard, and the heart of a lion.»
I like being a cat lady. If I was an animal, I would love to be a big cat. In my world, leopard is a color. This season, the classic print has been given a serious rebranding, and has been spotted allover. The best brand to look out for animal prints is by far Dolce & Gabbana! No doubt about that.
My look: Kim leopard-print cotton-blend chenille jumpsuit, and Sicily small crystal and leather handbag, both by Dolce & Gabbana, laser-cut leather corset belt by Alaïa, Mitza ring by Dior Fine Jewellery, grooved cabochon clip earrings
and Cherry leather platform ankle boots, both by Saint Laurent.

I started the New Year well with an amazing trip to Bahrain. Situated on the Persian Gulf between Qatar and the northeastern coast of Saudi Arabia, to which it is connected by the King Fahd Causeway, it comprises a small archipelago made up of 50 natural islands and an additional 33 artificial islands, centered on Bahrain Island which makes up around 83 per cent of the country’s landmass. The capital and largest city is Manama. Here I took these pictures while strolling around. I love the juxtaposition of modernity and tradition.
In terms of dress code, it is respectful to cover your shoulders and knees. I recommend wearing a scarf in case you want to visit a religious place.
My look: Broderie anglaise belted top, and matching broderie anglaise linen flared pants, both by Zimmermann, 23P light blue quilted caviar leather small classic double flap bag, and matching 23P caviar quilted mini chain belt bag, and sunglasses, all by CHANEL, Chevaloscope scarf 90 in rose/blue/multicolore by Hermès, and Dellena 100 leather wedge sandals by Jimmy Choo.

Remember … you are the star of your own life! Make the most out of it! Bondage is only for fun – no one should live a life in chains. The secret to living is giving and even forgiving. What seems to be negative at first sight might end up as your biggest blessing! To a fantastic 2024!
My look: Black latex bondage gown by Christopher Kane, Kelly Pochette Cut clutch in black Swift leather with gold hardware by Hermès, large CC logo gold Goossens earrings by CHANEL (Cruise 2011), and Angel leather platform sandals by Gucci.

Theatrical and striking, Louis Vuitton’s XXL zippers put a fun twist on contemporary pieces. I wore this ensemble for tea time at Claridge’s Hotel in London where the Christmas tree was the perfect backdrop for this outfit.

On my way back to my beloved GSTAAD PALACE, for a fun weekend with CHANEL and to celebrate my friend’s birthday. I have never shared these photos from last year’s ASMALLWORLD weekend that unfortunately doesn’t take place anymore.
The theme for Friday night was HOLLYWOOD ON THE TIBER, a term which encapsulates the splendor of nocturnal Rome between the end of the 1950s and early 1960s when the city was a true capital of cinema. The dress code said all-out old Hollywood glamour and I went for a petticoat style.
My look: Pink layered tulle dress with floral embroidery, pink satin gloves and hoop petticoat underskirt, all by Moschino (Look 23, S/S 2021), Odette lace pumps in rose by Jimmy Choo, Devotion mini bag in silver by Dolce & Gabbana, head piece by Stephen Jones, necklace and earrings, both by Alessandra Rich.

My look: Colours Of Palccoyo jersey maxi dress by Johanna Ortiz, Bromelia 100 metallic canvas espadrille wedge sandals by Castañer, sunglasses with golden frame and burgundy lenses by Gucci, small messenger flap bag in Tiffany blue by CHANEL, Oscar seashell choker by Isabel Marant, Rose Céleste necklace, and Rose des Vents and Rose Céleste necklace, both by Dior Fine Jewellery, and coral earrings by Oscar de la Renta.
