My Look: Fifth Ave

90s fashion is making a comeback and I couldn’t be any happier as it reminds me so much of my childhood days. It was the time of the supermodels and Prada’s famous nylon backpack. Browsing through fashion magazines as a yojnI manifested the idea to become an editor one day. This week, a dream came true and I visited the VOGUE offices in NYC.

The next day I strolled down Fifth Ave in this ’90s inspired outfit.

My Look: My Birthday

«It’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years

I am feeling a little bit more diva-ish than usual today. Must be … because it’s MY freaking BIRTHDAY that I am spending at the beautiful Gstaad Palace hotel.

Don’t forget: Today is the oldest you’ve ever been, but also the youngest you’ll ever be again. So my motto is, celebrate each day as if it was your birthday!

My look: Embellished black mink jacket, floral bustier top, matching high waisted briefs , ruched tulle skirtwallet bag with detachable chain belt, and mini leather shoulder bag, and Astra sandals by Sophia Webster.

May your holidays sparkle with joy and laughter! May peace, joy, and love find their way under your Christmas tree.

My Look: Power Shoulders

One jacket, two looks. Power shoulders have always made a strong statement in fashion and they work with pants and skirts. The strong shoulder is most associated with the 80s, but it first had a heyday in the 30s and 40s, as a sign of women’s liberation, when the female suit was primarily birthed. I love this versatile Balenciaga jacket that comes with a built-in skirt. One piece, many options and styles … statement fashion for the woman of the new 20s.

My look: Oversized plaid wool jacket with built-in skirt detail (2017) by Balenciaga, cropped high-rise wide-leg jeans by Stella McCartney, cashmere circles appliqué scarf and logo striped oversized silk shirt, both by Prada, New Abby tweed sailor cap by Maison Michel, JW-charm gold-plated choker by JW Anderson, bean embellished leather toteicon by Simone Rocha, Vita suede platform sandalsicon by Amina Muaddi, Lady Excalibur watch by Roger Dubuis, and leopard face mask by Dolce & Gabbana.

My Look: Patchwork

The outfit for which I had received the most compliments this summer was definitely this full-on Dolce & Gabbana denim and brocade patchwork look that I wore to a summer party in Saint Tropez.

Isn’t this outfit just fabulous? So vibrant, fun and playful. I love the idea of using stock fabrics to produce new looks, a truly sustainable approach to fashion without loosing the style aspect out of sight! Bravo, Dolce & Gabbana, well done!

My Look: Sunflower

Sunflowers are a symbol of the sun and symbolize love, happiness, vitality, positivism and energy. In Chinese culture, the graceful flower also stands for a long life and good luck. Seeing a sunflower field always makes me happy. Therefore please excuse my sunflower overdose but I truly enjoyed those last summer days to the fullest walking through the yellow fields.
