This week, I flew to the Côte d’Azur for a week filled with great adventures. My first stop was one of my favorite hotels in the world: the famous Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, located at Cap d’Antibes in the South of France. This place is just magical and for me filled with great memories. I was there with Dior for a great project that will be revealed in September.
My look: Grace sleeveless flower appliqué dress by Jonathan Saunders, cutout leather platform pumps by Saint Laurent, aviator sunglasses with Swarovski crystals by Chanel, vintage bag by Dior, Hapi leather bracelet by Hermès, diamond bracelet and ring by Vainard Fine Jewellery, Limelight Gala watch and rose diamond necklace by Piaget.
Now, I am in Cannes for the Film Festival. Stay tuned for more…

Last Wednesday, Trudie Götz and her team celebrated the opening of her two new concept stores, TROIS POMMES – THE STORE, one for women on Bahnhofstrasse 18 and one for men on Bahnhofstrasse 12 in Zurich. The new three-story shop for ladies is filled with everything a fashionista’s heart desires, the must-have pieces from well-known designers such as Givenchy, Saint Laurent and Peter Pilotto among others. For this special occasion, jewelry designer Harumi Klossowska and cashmere guru Greg Chait of The Elder Statesman had flown in to get to know their Zurich customers. Great concept, amazing interior, two thumbs up!

When you think “festival fashion,” Coachella, which starts today, is pretty much the gold standard. With the stylish crowd gathered in one dusty desert destination, decked out in their boho best, it’s a feast for the eyes. With the emergence of ’70s styles on the S/S 2015 runways, adapting to the boho vibe seems to be an easy task. Take, for example, fringe. From fringe hemlines to cropped tops, gorgeous flats and even bags, the look is everywhere you turn at a music festival. Here is some style inspiration.
Get the look: Fringed leather biker jacket by Balmain, cropped cutout stretch-knit top by Jonathan Simkhai, cut-off denim shorts and Monogramme fringed suede shoulder bag, both by Saint Laurent, Virginie rabbit-felt fedora by Maison Michel, gold-plated chain bib necklace by Ben Amun, aviator-style gold-tone mirrored sunglasses and leopard-print calf hair point-toe flats, both by Victoria Beckham.
A hat looks always stylish or opt for a flower crown. Colour some cute daisies under your eyes for the ultimate hippie feeling or stitch some floral lace around one hemline of your denim shorts. Wether you are in Palm Springs or not, this style looks great everywhere.
