Power pairings… Dress, meet pants! Red have fun with pink! Exciting twists that will make heads turn. The downside? It’s dangerously easy to get it wrong. Here are some tips how to pull it off. First, make sure that the fabrics look good together, second don’t underestimate the proportions of your outfit. A belt might help to accentuate your shape.
A dress over pants has emerged as my latest obsession thanks to Balenciaga that showed that it can be undeniably chic when done right. The partial split (it is sewn together at the seam) at the front of my pink dress, where I put my leg through, and the one in the back, both give a new life to my “old” red leather pants.
My look: Split-side silk-georgette midi dress and scarf leather belt, both by Balenciaga, red skinny stretch-leather pants and red ankle boots, both by Saint Laurent, De Manta brocade clutch by Alexander McQueen, diamond rose ring by Piaget and sunglasses by Céline.

This was the outfit I wore to the launch event of The No Animal Brand at Jelmoli in Zurich. Shearling has been a huge trend this F/W 2014 season and Prada’s colorful designs are the best way to sport the fuzzy style. Oversized and extremely comfortable, Mrs Prada delivered sheepskin jackets in psychedelic seventies colours, that brighten up every grey winter day.
My look: Shearling jacket by Prada, leather biker vest, lips print blouse with open back
, red skinny stretch-leather pants
and red ankle boots, all by Saint Laurent, shearling bag by Chanel, red lace bra by Victoria’s Secret, earrings by Dior and diamond ring by Vainard Fine Jewellery.

This week in Paris with Dior, I had barely time for anything but I managed to have a quick shopping spree on Avenue Montaigne, the famous shopping street in the 8th arrondissement. Personally speaking, it is one of the most beautiful destinations to indulge in high fashion in the world. It boasts numerous stores, such as Givenchy, Chanel, and Saint Laurent, as well as other upscale establishments such as the Plaza Athénée hotel, with is under construction at the moment.
My look: Smoking blazer by Balmain, slub cotton-jersey top by James Perse, red skinny stretch-leather pants, Sac Du Jour leather tote
and red ankle boots, all three by Saint Laurent, Lady Excalibur watch by Roger Dubuis, Diorette ring and earrings, both by Dior Haute Joaillerie.

I am completely in love with my new red Sac Du Jour leather tote by Saint Laurent, a gorgeous and “less expensive” alternative to an Hermès Birkin bag. In combination with the matching red ankle boots, it adds style and colour to every monochrome outfit.
My look: Black oversized jacket by Stella McCartney, embellished cotton-jersey sweatshirt by Matthew Williamson, leather skinny pants, Sac Du Jour leather tote
and red ankle boots, all three by Saint Laurent, Pound printed modal and cashmere-blend scarf
by Mary Katrantzou, cherry earrings by Dolce & Gabbana, ring by Chanel and cuff by Céline.
On my nails: 657 Azuré by Chanel.
