My Look: Dioriviera


An invitation to venture away and to enchantment, this year’s Dioriviera summer capsule, dreamed up by Maria Grazia Chiuri, reveals a sunny wardrobe.

My Look: Pucci on the Rocks

When it comes to swimwear, I am obsessed with PUCCI. The Italian house’s vibrant prints fulfill the quest for beach and poolside excellence perfectly. Check out the innovative styles with impeccable fits for all shapes and sizes and don’t miss out the matching accessories to finish off the look. Here you see me this summer in Pucci at Soho House Roc in Mykonos.

My favorite summer cocktail? Pucci on the Rocks!

My look: Ruffled Marmo-print bandeau bikini top, and matching printed string bikini bottoms, printed sandals, cotton pareo with Marmo-print, shoulder bag with chain strap, spiral cuff bracelet, and Pesci silver-tone, resin and faux pearl hoop earringsicon, all by Pucci, GG-logo cat-eye acetate sunglassesicon by Gucci, crystal hair clip by CHANEL.

My Look: Freedom

Being on a boat can be a positive influence on your life. It is said that the mere sight and sound of water promote wellness by lowering cortisol, increasing serotonin, and inducing relaxation. Personally speaking, it is this feeling of freedom that boosts my energy levels and elevates my mood. Here you see me on board of Christina O this summer happy as a bug.

Zimmermann’s High Tide collection boasts all sorts of anker and sailing elements. The perfect outfit for a day on the yacht in combination with the Prada raffia accessories.

My look: High Tide polka dot cropped topicon, High Tide polka dot bralette cropped topicon, and High Tide cropped high-waisted wide-leg jeansicon, all by Zimmermann, raffia small striped logo tote in tan and yellowicon, and matching striped raffia bucket haticon, both by Prada, interlocking G canvas espadrille wedgesicon, and white vintage sunglasses, both by Gucci, choker with colorful stones and matching long earrings with logo charm, both by CHANEL (Pre-collection summer 2023).

CHANEL Chance Eau Fraîche Eau de Parfum

CHANCE EAU FRAÎCHE charmed the world with its joyous, lively, and sparkling scent. Now, CHANEL presents a new, dazzling and elegant interpretation of it. A new chance is within reach.

VIBRANT ENERGY 2002: CHANEL unveils CHANCE, a gleeful and optimistic floral fragrance creation. A name redolent of success and achievement. «Chance is a way of being», said Gabrielle Chanel. It is no coincidence; it must be created, honed, sought out. It is the product of effort and passion.
Four interpretations of this now-iconic scent emerged, including CHANCE EAU FRAÎCHE Eau de Toilette, a floral-sparkling fragrance with a modern, sophisticated, and decidedly light trail that features notes of jasmine and zesty citron paired with a teak wood accord. An invigorating composition with charming optimism.

BOLD DUALITY 2023: CHANEL reinterprets CHANCE EAU FRAÎCHE Eau de Toilette, creating a version that combines the density of an Eau de Parfum with the brightness of the Eau de Toilette. For this unique composition, CHANEL Perfumer-Creator Olivier Polge amplified the intensity without overpowering its freshness—a challenge he met with great success. CHANCE EAU FRAÎCHE Eau de Parfum has the same spontaneous, lively nature as the Eau de Toilette, but leaves behind a more intense trail. Rather than merely adjust the concentration, the perfumer composed something completely new, a fragrance in its own right. The citron accord has become exhilarating without losing its original juiciness; the jasmine is richer and more intense; and the teak wood accord reveals a more ambery facet, giving it a certain elegance.

CHANCE EAU FRAÎCHE EAU DE PARFUM Vaporisateur 50 ml CHF 135.-
CHANCE EAU FRAÎCHE EAU DE PARFUM Vaporisateur 100 ml CHF 192.-

Available from Mid August 2023.

My Look: Monaco

This was my outfit that I wore to the beautiful soiree with Hublot in Monaco. Before leaving the the event, we took these pictures at my hotel Hermitage on my private terrace. Here comes the summer! As the world’s most popular colour, blue symbolises new horizons, kindles a desire to get away and inspires new avenues for exploration. Sporting the new BIG BANG UNICO SKY BLUE, I love its summery feel in combination with this beautiful dress and hope you will like it, too.

My look: Tama asymmetric cutout printed linen and silk-blend organza maxi dressicon by Zimmermann, Triple Heart crystal-embellished satin pumpsicon by Mach & Mach, crystal-embellished heart-shaped earrings by Alessandra Richgreen mini flap bag with straps (Pre-fall 2022), and 23P mini top handle classic flap retangular in emerald green and navy blue lambskin leather, both by CHANEL, and Big Bang Unico Sky Blue watch by Hublot.

CHANEL and Barbie

The House of CHANEL has collaborated on one of the summer’s most-anticipated film, Barbie, produced by and starring Oscar nominee Margot Robbie, a House ambassador, as the global icon. Directed and writen by Oscar nominee Greta Gerwig, the film reveals that to live in Barbie Land is to be a perfect being in a perfect place… unless you have a full-on existential crisis. Or you’re a Ken.

Throughout the history of cinema, CHANEL has been a preferred collaborator. In our latest partnership, the House proudly worked alongside Barbie creatives to realize several costumes for Margot Robbie’s character as well as a ski suit for Ken’s character, embodied by Ryan Gosling.


In a June 2023 interview, the actress/producer says that, in Barbie, «You’ll notice a lot of CHANEL, Barbies like CHANEL! I’ve got some great CHANEL outfits in the film that I got to wear. The mentality with Barbie is that she has all the accessories—there’s always a hat or bow and earrings and jewelry. The jewelry is big in the way it would be on a doll: big necklaces and earrings. Hats are never for protection from the sun, they’re just another accessory, along with bags and shoes and all of it! It was really fun.»

Five silhouetes imagined by Virginie Viard will be seen on screen, along with quilted bags, including a heart-shaped one, and accessories (shield-eyewear from the COCO NEIGE collection, holographic cuffs and costume jewelry, hats from Maison Michel) made available by the House. Oscar-winning costume designer and friend of the House, Jacqueline Durran, was given a selection of outfits in various shades of pink from the Ready-to-Wear, COCO BEACH and COCO NEIGE collections imagined by Virginie Viard. The five featured silhouetes – three suits, a ski suit, and a dress – were chosen to highlight the Barbie character as she moves through her journey in the film.

The feature film is in cinemas now.

My Look: Parisian

Unlocking the secrets behind French women’s style, the effortlessness, the attitude, the enigmatic and ever-so-coveted «je ne sais quoi». Simplicity is, apparently, key, as French women are never overdone or overdressed. It’s all about hyper-engineered minimalism, and by the way who said men’s shirts are only for men? Combine classic pieces in your wardrobe with something edgy, like breton stripes, a great pair of jeans with a cool sailor cap and you will feel like a true Parisian!

My look: Striped cardigan jacket with leather details, flared jeans in dark union wash twillicon, cropped boyfriend shirt in blue chambray, and Triomphe wool sailor capicon, all by Celine, Mini Dauphine bag by Louis Vuittonicon, Le Loafer leather penny loafers by Saint Laurent, and polarized pilot sunglasses by CHANEL.
