My Look: Enjoy Every Moment

Enjoy every moment… time flies. Here you see me celebrating my daughter’s 21st birthday in Boston at Contessa restaurant this month. We took the photos on beautiful Commonwealth Avenue in Back Bay, next to my hotel The Newbury Boston, which often gets compared to Georges-Eugène Haussmann’s Paris boulevards. The street is home to many beautiful residential homes and is divided at center by a wide grassy mall. I enjoyed the warm spring weather in this beautiful Valentino knitwear look that features the iconic 1967 chain motif.

My Look: Did You Know?

Did you know that FAZ, the label that is best known for its faux fur, has launched an amazing jersey outerwear collection, which bridges the «soft yet sharp» gap between leisure and luxury wear perfectly. Here you see me on my way to the Bvlgari Serpenti event this week in Zurich sporting my new trench coat, that feels like wearing a comfy sweater, but looks totally stylish! I also adore how the grey blends in with all my shades of purple and lilac.

My look: Grey Darling jersey trench coat by FAZCelestial printed silk and linen minidress by Zimmermann, Tan-Go embellished leather platform pumps, and small VSLING crystal-embellished crossbody bag, both by Valentino, heart-shaped crystal earrings by Alessandra Rich, and 30 denier tights in light purple by Calzedonia.

My Look: Painted Dots

I like to spend the whole month of January at my happy place, the Gstaad Palace. The hotel’s spa is one of my favorite parts of the hotel with its cozy fireplace, gym, heated outdoor pool and the best spa treatments. Here we photographed this fun look featuring the new Louis Vuitton x Yayoi Kusama collection.

I chose a bag from the «Painted Dots» as I adore its artisanal approach. Louis Vuitton’s craftspeople developed a special technique to make some of the 3D paint daubs look «wet,» as if they’d just been painted by Kusama’s hand.

My look: Double-breasted cloth jacket with feather detail by Prada, pussy-bow cotton-poplin shirticon by Valentino, layered stretch jersey-trimmed low-rise straight-leg jeansicon by Alexander Wang, Kate 100 black suede pumpsicon by Christian Louboutin, silver-tone crystal clip earrings by Alessandra Rich, Painted Dots Monogram scarf, and Painted Dots Monogram Onthego PM, both Louis Vuitton x Yayoi Kusama.

Stay tuned as my birthday is coming up and I will explain to you why I am not afraid of turning one year older…

My Look: Attention

Attention, please! Here comes another Valentino Pink PP look but this time in combination with a great pair of jeans. I love this outfit so much. Hot pink has definitely been the color of 2022, taking inspiration from the ultra-bright world of Barbie and Ken, aptly named the «Barbiecore»trend, which was further amplified by paparazzi photos of Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling on the set of Greta Gerwig‘s forthcoming Barbie movie.

My look: Double-breasted wool and cashmere-blend coat, 3D-flower lurex-jacquard wool-blend scarf, tie-neck silk-georgette shirt, VLOGO reversible leather belticon, VLOGO leather-trimmed wool fedoraicon, Roman Stud maxi clutch bag in nappa leather, VLogo signature earrings, and Tan-Go leather ankle boots, all by Valentino, distressed high-rise wide-leg jeans by Peter Do.
