Estée Lauder unveiled Modern Muse, the new fragrance inspired by the intriguing duality of today’s woman, with a spectacular muse-themed party held at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum during New York Fashion Week.
The glamorous event was attended by fashion, art, design, media, and film industry luminaries and their muses and I felt very honored to have been invited.
The highlight of the evening was a performance by The Dolls: Mia Moretti and Margot, who curated an unforgettable musical experience, in celebration of all modern muses, with live vocals by Margot and the debut of their new single “Southern Swing (Ft. The Original Pinettes).”
Enjoy my photos from this amazing night and see all the celebs which were there!

I thought that you might like Bally’s F/W 2012 campaign that transports us to a winter wonderland of effortless luxury, set against the breathtaking alpine background that surrounds the chic Swiss ski resort of Verbier. As I am living in Switzerland, this scenery is part of my daily life and I always feel like being on vacation here in Zurich.
Shot by New York-based photographer Norman Jean Roy at Verbier’s prestigious Chalet d’Adrien, Bally chose the iconic mountain resort town in Switzerland’s Valais to directly reflect the Swiss brand’s own heritage. The campaign features Caroline Trentini, Hilary Rhoda, Andrew Cooper and Robert Konjic.
Below are some of the behind the scenes shots that I truly liked.

Yesterday, I arrived in New York City and went immediately to Fashion’s Night Out (FNO), the biggest fashion party of the year.
Please enjoy some of impressions of last night. It was so much fun. Sorry that I didn’t take more photos, but at one point there was too much partying and shopping involved…
LoL, Sandra
