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.

Le Byblos St. Tropez is so much more than a hotel, it is a whole way of life. It is one of my favorite spots in the world and I always feel home away from home. What is the Gstaad Palace in winter for me, is the Byblos Saint Tropez in summer.
Finally, I can take some holiday feeling back home with the beautiful Byblos scented candle that is created in collaboration with the oldest candlemaker in the world – the House of Trudon.
The candle is made in a colour exclusive to Byblos and is limited to only 55 numbered pieces, an homage to the 55th anniversary of the Byblos. Each candle is a reflection of extraordinary know-how and is recognisable by the emblems of both houses as well as its highly unusual orange glass. The Cyrnos fragrance, with its lemon, lavender and pine notes, resonates with the joie de vivre that permeates life on the French Riviera. Available as 270g for CHF €130.

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.
