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.

Until Easter Monday, you can enjoy in Zurich those rose filled fountains, an initiative of the city’s Altstadtkirchen. Originally presented for the first time last year, when the pandemic was in full swing, it is a message of hope with the slogan «without thorns there is no rose». This year, with the war in Ukraine taking place, we need a message of hope more than ever.
For me, dressing up during those sad times, always gives me hope and joy. I am a huge fan of Zimmermann, the designs are feminine, comfortable and romantic.
My look: Pink Botanica Butterfly gown by Zimmermann, CHANEL No.5 parfum box evening bag, and bi-color tweed ballerinas, both by CHANEL (S/S 2021 Collection Act 2), floral sunglasses by Dolce & Gabbana, 4810 hoop earrings in pink gold with diamonds by Montblanc, and Carrera Automatic Chronograph by TAG Heuer.
Let’s hope, everything is coming up roses! Happy Easter!

A cape-sleeve coat is one of the most practical items you can have in your wardrobe as it always leaves enough space for your sleeves, especially when they are more voluptuous. This coat features powerful cape-like sleeves and a unique sculptural belted silhouette.

I know I got your attention at «cheesy». Fashion should be fun and not be taken too seriously! This yellow Prada sweater got the internet talking and let’s be frank, it resembles Swiss cheese that is known for its distinctive appearance with several holes. However, I find it very fashion-forward and extremely cool especially when worn together with the matching black open-knit sweater. Being proudly Swiss, I love cheese and I adore this Prada look so much. It was actually my favorite from the S/S 2021 collection and it is also very «Pantone Color of the Year 2021». With Central European weather going crazy at the moment, it is the perfect outfit at the moment.
In case your wondering about the placement of the bow brooch… one hole is placed a little unfortunate revealing a little too much in movement.
My look: Distressed logo-intarsia sweater in yellow, distressed open-weave wool sweater in black, belted pleated mohair-blend skirt, two-tone slingback pumps, and Re-Nylon scrunchie, all by Prada, Constance 24 in Evercolor Lime with palladium hardware by Hermès, satin bow brooch by CHANEL, rose diamond ring by Piaget, Carrera Automatic Chronograph by TAG Heuer, Cameo embellished earrings, and faux pearl and crystal barrette, both by Simone Rocha.

Perched on the sixth floor, overlooking the city, the lake and the Alps, La Réserve Eden au Lac Zurich’s La Muña restaurant is the place to be. Here you see me on the terrace dressed in an all-denim look. With the recent ’90s fashion revival, the matching jean-on-jean style is making a cooler-than-ever comeback this season and has been seen on several runways.
My look: Embroidered washed denim jacket (Look 38 pre-collection S/S 2021), matching denim top and jeans (Look 37 pre-collection S/S 2021), white organza blouse (Look 21 S/S 2021 runway collection), 80’s inspired chain earrings, all by CHANEL, faux pearl and satin clutch by Balenciaga, oversized cat-eye acetate sunglasses

«Take care of your mind, your body will thank you.
Take care of your body, your mind will thank you.»
A sentence that is very true. Taking time for yourself is so important. Spending a night or a weekend in a beautiful hotel room by myself is pure luxury for me. Putting on a comfy look, enjoying a bath, reading without any distraction recharges my batteries immediately. Here you see me in my room at the La Reserve Eden au Lac, sporting my new Hermès Kelly Danse in different ways. Happy, relaxed and fully energized for many projects coming up this month.
My look: Selma ribbed-knit cardigan, Aeris ribbed-knit bralette, and Tala tie-front ribbed-knit wide-leg pants, all by Jonathan Simkhai, Kelly Danse II in Verso Blush/Rose Jaipur Evercolor leather with silver hardware by Hermès, iridescent lambskin sandals in light bronze by CHANEL (Cruise 2021), Carrera Automatic Chronograph by TAG Heuer, and silver-tone, crystal and faux pearl necklace by Alessandra Rich.

Classy and fabulous – this is how I feel in SAINT LAURENT. After this week’s IG Live Beauty Talk for Mother’s Day with Yves Saint Laurent Beauty (owned by L’Oréal, which holds exclusive licenses for the name), this post is an other homage to the French Maison. Shot at the Zaha Hadid exhibition at Galerie Gmurzynska – I am wearing pieces from the brand’s beautiful Resort 2021 and S/S 2021 collections.
SAINT LAURENT, that is today owned by the Kering Group, is one of the most iconic brands of the 20th Century. Founded by legendary designer Yves Saint Laurent and his partner Pierre Bergé in 1961, it quickly revolutionized the way fashion and society intertwine with the launch of its iconic «Rive Gauche» collection just five years later, becoming the first couture house to launch ready-to-wear. Today, Creative Director Anthony Vaccarello, who was appointed in April 2016 after Hedi Slimane left the company, continues to honor the label’s trailblazing spirit with his empowering, dynamic and boundary-pushing designs.
My look: Two-tone ribbed wool jacket, pussy-bow ruffled silk crepe de chine blouse, cotton-blend satin shorts, Jodie rose-embellished white leather platform sandals, Cassandra medium YSL-plaque dark green leather cross-body bag, gold-tone, enamel and faux pearl clip earrings, all by Saint Laurent, JUSTE UN CLOU bracelet in rose gold with diamonds by Cartier, and Carrera Automatic Chronograph by TAG Heuer.

The famous French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry once said «Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing to take away.» From the power of his words, modern power style begins! I love to incorporate tailoring that embodies the ultimate juxtaposition between the masculine and the feminine. In speaking about dressing for success, a power suit is one that lives at the intersection of conservatism and boldness. Modern, powerful, and sexy, add a pair of heels that command authority and play with the accessories. My masculine watch challenges the traditional norms of femininity and exudes confidence, allowing me to express strength and perseverance. Being in line with Saint-Exupéry, definitely not a piece to take away from me…
My look: Asymmetric pinstriped and Prince of Wales checked wool blazer and matching Prince of Wales checked wool and cashmere-blend tapered pants, both by Alexander McQueen, ribbed-knit thong bodysuit by Michael Kors Collection, Carrera Automatic Chronograph by TAG Heuer, Jumbo Lilico sandals in navy blue and black, and matching Bonnie Jumbo Lilico velvet bag, both by Sophia Webster.
