Last week, I was in Milan for another UBS Unique event that I am going to tell you more about soon. Here you see me in the garden of the Four Seasons Hotel wearing a one-of-kind kimono by Rianna + Nina who create contemporary pieces from vintage silk scarves to elegant effect. All designs, which are available at for example at Matchesfashion
, Browns
, and Moda Operandi
are made in Berlin where the designer duo resides.
Framed by Rianna + Nina: Rianna Nektaria Kounou and Nina Kuhn.
My look: Vintage patchwork silk kimono coat and vintage silk belt, both by Rianna + Nina, ruffle-trimmed cotton-blend cady jacket, ruffled-hem silk and wool-blend skirt, ruffled-neck chiffon blouse, Queercore embellished leather ankle boots, and GG Marmont matelassé shoulder bag
, all by Gucci.

Hello from beautiful sunny Milan. Here you see me in front of the iconic Duomo (Cathedral of Milan) which is is the largest and most complex Gothic building in Italy. But who would have thought that this embroidered skirt with the cute ice bear would also be the perfect look last night? Surprisingly it was as Moncler had transformed the Via Montenapoleone in a snowy landscape for the opening celebration of their newly renovated store. Most of the street was cordoned off and covered in white, as a multitude of snowflakes fell continuously from the building, landing on the heads and coats of the invited guests (see photo at the end).
My look: Ruffle-trimmed cotton-blend cady jacket, ruffled-hem silk and wool-blend skirt, ruffled-neck chiffon blouse, Queercore embellished leather ankle boots, GG Marmont matelassé shoulder bag and oversized round-frame actate sunglasses, all by Gucci.

I am in love with Gucci‘s bold prints and kaleidoscopic color palettes. While a real rainbow is a rare shot of magic across the sky and we cannot rely on Swiss fall weather, I suggest letting our wardrobes lift our spirits. Vibrant stripes are a symbol of fun, luck and positivity and make every outfit pop.
My look: Planet hoodie, plissé-lurex midi skirt, Peggy striped platform sneakers
, GG Marmont matelassé shoulder bag, embellished oversized square-frame sunglasses, and earrings with pearls and tiger heads, all by Gucci.
