The 2000s staple is back, this time with a luxury twist. Its resurgence is evidence that the old school playbook for starting trends can still work in 2024 with this historic first-time collaboration between the Brazilian and Italian fashion icons featuring four unique styles combining signature Dolce & Gabbana prints with the unmatched design of Havaianas. Available for both, men and women.
However, those must-have flip flops sold out fast, but they will be back soon. To be notified of restocks, sign up here.

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.

Who can forget Jennifer Lopez going viral on the Versace S/S 2020 catwalk in a fresh iteration of her iconic jungle-print dress? Tropical prints had been allover that summer and I have been waiting for the perfect moment to wear this stunning look. Finally the gown had its moment to get loud … as it was the perfect dress to wear to the Annabel’s For The Amazon Gala 2023.
My look: Cutout embellished printed silk-chiffon gown, green watersnake sandals
, and Virtus embellished crossbody bag, all by Versace, crystal clip earrings
, and matching necklace with glittering green and clear crystals, both by Dolce & Gabbana.

Greeting from Mykonos where the Meltemi, a dry northern wind blows over the Aegean during summer strongly. A headscarf is then a great idea to keep hair in place and prevent it from tangling.
Shopping sustainably starts with investing in the right pieces and keeping them for many years to come. An Hermès silk carré is a great example for such an item. My grandmother gifted me with my first one when I was a kid. If you take good care of your collection, you can hand them over to the next generation. Making change together is all about making little transformations within your own behaviors toward a more beautiful and happier life. Trust me on that!
My look: Embellished tulle-trimmed stretch-jersey and open-knit maxi dress by PatBO, Tess small embossed two-tone leather shoulder bag
by Chloé, bead-embellished flat sandals by Saint Laurent, «Caparacons de la France et de L’Inde» 90cm silk twill scarf (designed by Philippe Ledoux, first launched in 1959, re-editions in 1997 and 2008) by Hermès, leopard print lens sunglasses by Dolce & Gabbana, Ras Du Cou silver-tone, shell and beaded necklace, and gold-tone and shell earrings, both by Isabel Marant.

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.

(all S/S 2017) and bowtie pasta and cameo clip earrings (S/S 2012), all by Dolce & Gabbana, black lace-up Janis pumps by Saint Laurent, and pizza box bag by Moschino.

This was my outfit I wore to the Hot Party in the Snow at Carlton Hotel in St. Moritz. When it comes to eveningwear, I am a huge fan of La-based designer Monique Lhuillier. The daughter of a French diplomat always admired the lavish gowns her mother and other stylish guests would wear to high-profile events, moving her to create her eponymous label. I adore her intricately detailed and expertly crafted designs.
My look: Crystal-embellished tulle gown by Monique Lhuillier, Devotion mini bag in silver by Dolce & Gabbana, Odette lace pumps in rose by Jimmy Choo, floral-clip earrings, floral-detail chain-link belt, and crystal-embellished choker necklace, all by Alessandra Rich.
