Sandra‘s Closet

Some collections feel beautiful.
Others feel meaningful.
And then there are rare moments in fashion when beauty, symbolism, heritage, and emotion come together.

With his debut for Dior, Jonathan Anderson opens a new chapter that feels both deeply personal and magically timeless. Born in Northern Ireland, Anderson brings his own cultural roots and sensibility into the house of Dior, subtle, thoughtful, and rich in meaning. At the heart of the collection lies a powerful symbol: the four-leaf clover.

🍀 A Symbol of Luck, Heritage, and Belief

The four-leaf clover is universally known as a sign of good fortune, but here, it carries layered meaning. It is a symbol closely tied to Ireland, a place renowned not only for its landscapes but for its people: authentic, loyal, warm, and deeply human. Ireland has a soul, and that soul quietly runs through this collection.

What makes the clover even more special is its intimate connection to Christian Dior himself. A botanical enthusiast and forever superstitious, Christian Dior always kept a clover in his suit pocket, believing deeply in destiny, superstition, and signs. Jonathan Anderson doesn’t just reference this history, he honors it with sincerity.

 Handbags, Accessories & Dresses That Feel Like Talismans

The craftsmanship across the collection is breathtaking. Handbags become modern talismans, adorned with clover motifs that feel elegant rather than literal. Accessories whisper luck rather than shout it.

For S/S 2026, Jonathan Anderson celebrates this cherished symbol, adding a joyfully decorative touch to the Lady Dior.

Flourishing with four-leaf clovers and adorned with a Ladybird charm, the Lady Dior Clover reflects Christian Dior’s superstitious spirit, crafted with the House’s enduring savoir-faire.

Hot-stamped and then hand-embroidered, each clover reflects the House’s exceptional craftsmanship. The piece is completed with the signature «D, I, O, R» charms, an enduring hallmark of the Lady Dior.

I am also completely obsessed with the new small Bow Bag CHF 4200 and the clover charm CHF 510.

The Dior Men Clover Saddle Bag CHF 3500 is already sold out.

I thought I had enough of the Dior Book totes, but not anymore seeing the new Dior Toile de Jouy Clover Book Tote CHF 3200.

Skirts, shirts flow with a quiet confidence, refined, poetic, and wearable while still unmistakably Dior. This is fashion that doesn’t just dress the body; it speaks to emotion and intention.

Why This Collection Feels So Personal

I love Ireland, not as an abstract idea, but as a lived experience. Every time I’m there, I feel grounded, welcomed, and genuinely happy. There’s always laughter, honesty, and a sense that life doesn’t need to be complicated to be meaningful.

Obsessed! Dior Clover S3I sunglasses CHF 570

Seeing those values translated into a Dior collection feels incredibly special. It makes me want to own a piece of it, not just to wear, but to carry as a reminder of joy, luck, and new beginnings.

A Collection for a New Year, Full of Hope

This feels like a collection that brings luck for the year ahead. A reminder that fashion can still believe in magic. That beauty can be symbolic. And that sometimes, the right piece, a bag, a dress, a small clover detail, can feel like a promise.

Jonathan Anderson’s first Dior collection isn’t just a debut.
It’s a blessing. 🍀

LoL, Sandra

Wednesday night I had the privilege of joining my dear friend Carmen Busquets in her beautiful Paris home to celebrate Lanvin and its creative director, Peter Copping. Just the day before, I attended the Lanvin S/S 2026 show, an unforgettable experience that once again reminded me why I have always admired this house so deeply.

Lanvin is not only the oldest continuously operating fashion house in France, but also one with a truly unique spirit. Founded in 1889 by Jeanne Lanvin, a visionary couturière who began by designing dresses for her daughter, the house has always been rooted in elegance, intimacy, and a profound sense of artistry. That maternal tenderness and refined craftsmanship continue to resonate in Lanvin’s DNA today.

With Therese Westin, Founder of VINST, and Lupe Puerta, Founder of THE FLOORR, who co-hosted the evening (thank you for having me!)

Peter Copping’s S/S 2026 collection captured this heritage with such grace. His inspiration draws both from the timeless codes of the house and from his own refined sensibility. There was a lightness, a sense of fluidity and romance in the pieces, yet always anchored by Lanvin’s signature sophistication. What struck me most was how seamlessly he honored Jeanne Lanvin’s legacy while making it feel entirely relevant for the present.

Beyond his undeniable talent, Peter himself is one of the kindest and most humble people I have met in fashion, qualities that make his creations shine even brighter. His modesty and warmth are rare in this industry, and they infuse the collection with an additional layer of beauty.

For the evening, I wore a look from Lanvin’s current F/W 2025 collection, styled with vintage Lanvin accessories and shoes. It felt like a personal way of connecting past and present, echoing the house’s long history while celebrating its modern vision.

With Peter Copping and Carmen Busquets, who co-founded NET-A-PORTER and is one of the most stylish ladies I know.

Lanvin is more than a brand; it is a story of artistry, heritage, and enduring elegance. And with Peter Copping at the helm, that story continues to evolve in the most beautiful way.

LoL, Sandra

It was such an inspiring evening with many amazing women.

Next to me was lovely Christine D’Ornano, who is Managing Director at SISLEY Paris, the beauty empire that belongs to her family.
