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.

Here is the second look from my photo shoot in Los Angeles with PIAGET. This outfit is one of my favorites this season. The blood lustre rockabilly-inspired satin bomber jacket with the vampire detail on the back is such an eye-catcher while giving an unexpected twist to the feminine Piaget jewelry. An unbeatable combination!
My look:Embellished satin bomber jacket, leopard print blouse, red skinny stretch-leather pants, Betty chain red leather shoulder bag and suede ankle boots, all by Saint Laurent, sunglasses by Céline, jewelry and Limelight Gala watch, both by Piaget.
