Think pink, the S/S 2017 catwalks defiantly dictated fuchsia hues. The look? Nothing for sweet sugar princesses, pink has grown up and looks super cool on cape/dress hybrids, tight at the neck to elegant effect, as seen at Valentino or at Balenciaga where it was paired with purple spandex shoe-pants. I like those dresses together with Miu Miu‘s runway heels. Do you dare?

Pink is trending this summer and I love it combined with burgundy. It is an unusual color combination that I wore to the dinner I recently had with Frédéric Malle (for the previous post about it, click here please).

When the time comes to free our feet and immerse them in some much-needed sun, women’s flip flops and beach shoes become our very best friends. If you are particular like me with your footwear, you will love those jelly ones by Valentino because they are almost undestroyable and great to be worn in the sand. No need to worry about ruining them.

Stay tuned to see which color I got for myself…

This year, I am bombarding you with sunny looks as I cannot wait for summer to arrive. Here you see me on my favorite island St. Barths just recently. I had lunch at one of my beloved spots, Le Toiny. Feet in the sand, great food, super service and you can chill at the beach later. My love for this Caribbean island won’t stop as I will be revealing a very special collaboration soon…
My look: Tiered lace maxi dress by Stella McCartney, embellished textured-leather sandals
by Valentino, patchwork clutch by Prada, Eva aviator-style rose gold-tone sunglasses by Tom Ford, pendant necklace by Roberto Cavalli and pearl bracelet by Chanel.

Nothing has changed since last winter… more is more is still the motto, this is what the S/S 2017 season is all about! With fashion in a maximalist mood, accessories have kept their center stage. On the runways, kitten heels are back, earrings were bigger than ever, and one bag is definitely not enough. New? The marriage of socks and boots. The forecast: Get ready for your another sumptuous season!

Somehow I always find the time before the holiday season extremely stressful, getting everything ready for the family, the gifts, the food, the decoration, preparing the travels and getting all the business work done. Running around the city in those freezing temperatures doesn’t make it any better. Then, it is always time to put on some superwoman powers…
My look: Black double-breasted wool coat with gold bars by Givenchy, Superman jumper by Valentino,
Skin 5 mid-rise skinny jeans by Acne Studios, Joyce embellished leather shoulder bag by Loewe, wool scarf by Bottega Veneta, Horsebit blue topaz diamond white gold ring
by Gucci Fine Jewellery and red leather boots by Prada.

Last Thursday, I flew to Munich for a very interesting press conference with Neutrogena. After I landed back in Zurich at 10pm, I went straight to a friend’s cocktail party. I knew I wouldn’t have time to change, therefore I planned my outfit precisely. Metallics are always a great way to work day and night, adding the right shimmer especially in artificial light.
My look: Black long shearling coat by Prada, metallic lace-trimmed cotton-blend cardigan and ruffled crinkled silk-chiffon blouse, both by Gucci, appliquéd leather and lace skirt by Jason Wu, large classic flap bag in caviar leather by Chanel, Spring Garden brocade knee boots by Valentino and diamond ring by Vainard Fine Jewellery.

Mastering the two Cs: comfort and cool, an effortless off-duty look is something I like to think of when the weekend lays ahead of me. I could literally live in those velvet pants that have become a fix staple in my wardrobe.
My look: Little black jacket (Paris – Seoul Cruise 2016), brooches and earrings (Front Row Only F/W 2016 collection), all by Chanel, pussy-bow leopard-print silk-georgette shirt by Saint Laurent, drawstring velvet track pants by Chloé, sunglasses by Fendi, starstudded leather ankle boots and guitar-strap Rockstud rolling tie-dye cross body bag, both by Valentino.
