Summer cashmere can be your best friend as it easily transitions into fall. Gabriela Hearst knows how to handle this luxurious material perfectly as seen in her S/S 2023 collection for Chloé which will be one of her last because she is leaving the French Maison as Creative Director.

, matching striped crocheted wool-blend maxi skirt, and clutch Penelope small, all by Chloé, Mafaldina Spikes green sandals by Christian Louboutin, Aurora oversized butterfly acetate sunglasses

Those photos dedicated to Louboutin‘s Greekaba collection have been taken last year in Crete. However, I have never posted them as they are pretty daring besides my natural curls (haha). This morning, I woke up and thought why am I hesitating? Why women always feel this need of being perfect, or are told that some things are not allowed for them at a certain age. Men never care, why do we?! So here you go … if you don’t like it, then better don’t scroll.
With full moon in aquarius on the first of August, it is time to set yourself free. It is your chance to activate your first house of self, identity, and personal goals and ambitions. This is your personal cosmic release. Let go of any ways of being that no longer feel aligned. Many things might come to you and will be revealed. Trust the process.
My look: La Chemise body stretch shirt bodysuit in white by Jacquemus, brown suede pleated mini skirt by Miu Miu, Cycladissimo 120 leather-trimmed embroidered canvas wedge sandals, and Carasky Loubi mini embroidered shoulder bag, both by Christian Louboutin, and faux-pearl tassel earrings by Oscar de la Renta.

Here they are the craziest shoes of the season. An art gallery’s worth of the weird, wacky and wonderful walked onto the runway for S/S 2023. Moschino’s pumps resembled miniature blow-up flamingo pool floats, one of Loewe’s sandals was entirely made of a huge 3-D petal and JW Anderson joined forces with Wellipets for some whimsical frog aesthetic. Heels, in particular, had a surreal feel, most notably seen in Alaïa‘s cabaret version and Sophia Webster‘s flamingo heels.

After the mystical CARACABA and last year’s ever-whimsical GREEKABA, get ready to say ¡Hola! to Christian Louboutin’s annual limited-edition cabas offering, the FLAMENCABA: a fiery celebration of all the creativity, charisma and exquisite craftsmanship that Andalusia has to offer, developed in collaboration with the inimitable Rossy de Palma, actress and long-time friend of Christian’s.
It was inspired by the region’s rich culture and flamenco tradition, and it features men’s and women’s shoes, fans, and bags. The key pieces include the FLAMENCABA small tote
that highlights the savoir-faire of local craftsmen with ornate detailing inspired by Flamenco dresses. On the base of the handles, CARASPIKES become gold-toned SEVILLANA spikes, inspired by Seville’s architectural heritage and bringing an added touch of opulence to this everyday tote bag.
Another highlight is the FLAMENCABA mini bag, that was inspired by the iconic shawls worn by Andalusian bailaoras.
Christian Louboutin will donate part of the profits from the capsule collection to Centro Coreografico Maria Page, an organization that aims to promote dance and Spain’s cultural heritage as a model of social and civic commitment for the benefit of children, adolescents, genders and vulnerable groups.
Launching in May 2023, this year’s Flamencaba collection continues in the footsteps of the annual cabas series with a true ode to craftsmanship.

My crazy burger-inspired outfit that I wore to the Moschino F/W 2023 show was actually from the Maison’s Resort 2022 collection. People couldn’t believe their eyes when I walked around the streets of Milan. I adore fashion with a sense of humor and nobody does this better than Jeremy Scott for Moschino.
My look: Burger-motif jacket with salad and tomato embellishment, burger-motif high-waisted skirt, sequined hamburger crossbody bag, large clip-on burger earrings, and one-of-a-kind burger-motif head piece, all by Moschino, nude silk shirt by Miu Miu, and Iriza 100 patent-leather pumps by Christian Louboutin.

What is the ultimate style? For me this means investment pieces that are timeless, classy and that you can keep for many seasons to come. In terms of brands, CHANEL is one of the Houses that offers great and seasonless investment opportunities.
My look: Sparkling knitted dress with silky underdress by CHANEL, Chiara crystal-embellished suede slingback pumps, and Palmette crystal-embellished suede cross-body bag, both by Christian Louboutin, and necklace by Alessandra Rich.

I like to spend the whole month of January at my happy place, the Gstaad Palace. The hotel’s spa is one of my favorite parts of the hotel with its cozy fireplace, gym, heated outdoor pool and the best spa treatments. Here we photographed this fun look featuring the new Louis Vuitton x Yayoi Kusama collection.
I chose a bag from the «Painted Dots» as I adore its artisanal approach. Louis Vuitton’s craftspeople developed a special technique to make some of the 3D paint daubs look «wet,» as if they’d just been painted by Kusama’s hand.
My look: Double-breasted cloth jacket with feather detail by Prada, pussy-bow cotton-poplin shirt by Valentino, layered stretch jersey-trimmed low-rise straight-leg jeans by Alexander Wang, Kate 100 black suede pumps by Christian Louboutin, silver-tone crystal clip earrings by Alessandra Rich, Painted Dots Monogram scarf, and Painted Dots Monogram Onthego PM, both Louis Vuitton x Yayoi Kusama.
Stay tuned as my birthday is coming up and I will explain to you why I am not afraid of turning one year older…

When I saw the teddy dress on the F/W 2022 runway, I knew immediately this piece needs a place in my closet. Cozy, comfy, yet stylish and glamorous, it is the perfect choice when it comes to a black tie winter gala, or when you want to attend an outdoor event in style.
My look: Teddy Bear Icon camel hair-blend coat, Mito camel hair maxi dress, Tannas bag
, and Hoopyt headband, all by Max Mara, Iriza 100 patent-leather pumps by Christian Louboutin, necklace and silver-tone, crystal and faux pearl clip earrings, both by Alessandra Rich.
