Last week’s gala episode of MY STYLE ROCKS was all about the 90s. A decade that I lived and that was all about bold style, laid-back vibes, and iconic trends that still influence fashion today! From grunge flannels, fuzzy hats and ripped jeans to hip-hop baggy fits and sleek minimalist slip dresses, the decade was a perfect mix of cool and carefree. Think platform shoes, Doc Martens, chokers, crop tops, checked mini skirts and tracksuits—whether inspired by Clueless, Friends, or your favorite boy band, 90s fashion was effortlessly fun and full of personality!
As you know, I have been collecting fashion for more than 30 years. For this episode I dived into my closet and looked for pieces that I actually wore in the 90s. I had designed the bag along with the matching T-shirts during my time at Sonia Rykiel in Paris. Originally created for the people backstage at the S/S 1999 show, Sonia decided to produce them for the actual collection as she liked them a lot.
My look: Appliquéd printed cotton-jersey sweatshirt by Dolce & Gabbana, neon pink cropped top (S/S 1995), and black hot pants (S/S 2022), both by CHANEL, checked mini skirt (S/S 1998) by D&G, printed wool bag (S/S 1999) by Sonia Rykiel, triangle-logo scrunchie, crystal scrunchie, and fuzzy hat in lilac, all by Prada, leather, faux pearl and crystal choker
by Alessandra Rich, 90’s vintage sunglasses by Gucci, creoles by Dior, black tights with crystals by Calzedonia, and Strike leather ankle boots by Balenciaga.

Happy 50th Birthday to me! Here’s to half a century of fashionable moments, wisdom, and an unstoppable love for style! May this milestone year bring me health, success, love and joy. 50 is the new fierce, and I hope to wear it effortlessly! Thank you for reading Sandra’s Closet, your support keeps me thriving.
They say «50 is the new 30». There are many reasons why you could say that. Personally speaking, I love to take my mindset over numbers – confidence, self-awareness, and wisdom make me today more fearless and open to new experiences. Unlike past generations, many people at 50 are hitting their professional peaks, starting new businesses, or even switching careers. For me, filming MY STYLE ROCKS and living in Istanbul for the past 4 months has been extremely rewarding. A new challenge, a new team, a new opportunity – all of that has added to making my life more fulfilling.
I know that I still have to work on prioritizing self-care, which will make me feel even more youthful and vibrant. In terms of fashion, I have been preaching since decades that style has no age limit. I love to explore new ideas, and live with curiosity and excitement.
Bottom line? Age is just a number – your attitude, energy, and how you embrace life define how young you truly feel! Wishing us all a year filled with glamour, adventure, and everything that makes us feel truly alive. Cheers to all of us and my next 50 years!
LoL, Sandra

Let’s party and celebrate the 50th episode of MY STYLE ROCKS, that aired this week. I wore this look for the first time and adore the color combination of light blue that is blending seamlessly with the richness of burgundy and a touch of pink. By adding a sprinkle of vintage glamour with the turban, the outfit got a fun and quirky edge, bringing the old-fashioned alive with a fresh perspective. Let the past inspire the future – style reimagined, bold, and make it uniquely yours, where timeless elegance meets a playful twist!

This upcoming Sunday’s gala episode of MY STYLE ROCKS will be all about Pop Art, which means it will be all about bold colors, graphic prints, and playful designs that bring art to life through clothing. Inspired by the 1960s Pop Art movement, it features vibrant patterns, comic-style graphics, and everyday cultural references like logos and icons. This fun, rebellious style turns fashion into a canvas, celebrating creativity and making a bold, eye-catching statement.
Jeremy Scott’s work for Moschino often drew on Pop Art references, blending bold, vibrant colors with playful, consumer-culture imagery. He transformed everyday objects like fast food logos, candy wrappers, and cleaning products into high-fashion statements, channeling the spirit of artists like Andy Warhol. Scott’s designs celebrated the quirky, fun, and provocative essence of Pop Art, making his collections for Moschino both whimsical and deeply rooted in pop culture commentary.
My look: Cropped trench jacket by Dolce & Gabbana, printed cotton-blend faille skirt, matching bustier top, and pearl necklace with bow, 
all by Moschino, inflated oversized square-frame acetate sunglasses by Loewe, Aevitas pointy stud leather platform pumps
by Versace, and Mondrian embroidered appliquéd canvas clutch by Olympia Le-Tan.
