Last weekend, nearly a million techno music fans came to Zurich for the 31st Street Parade. The world’s largest techno party always takes place on the second Saturday in August. More than 200 DJs took part in the festivities, letting the electronic and techno music fans dance around Zurich’s lake basin. In the evening, the event continues in the city’s clubs. The sun was shining and I enjoyed a fun time at the Baur au Lac hotel, my favorite place to be during the festivities. It is a great way to have a front row seat at the iconic music parade while enjoying the serenity and space of the hotel’s beautiful park.

Even that Johannesburg is presumably dangerous, walking around in Melrose Arch is pretty safe as it is gated and has a lot of security measurements. It has high-end shops, restaurants, and hotels. Given its premium status, it’s a fitting location for showcasing luxury brands such as Rolls-Royce, as well as having the armoured car service dealer just across.
My look: Cropped knitted cardigan, Sahara cropped stretch-knit top, and jacquard-knit wide-leg pants, all by Alaïa, Kate 100 suede pumps by Christian Louboutin, wallet on chain, bag charm earrings, necklace with pink bag charm, chain belt with hoop bag charm, and round sunglasses, all by CHANEL.

So much traveling behind and ahead of me and I am loving it. Here you see me two weeks ago on my way to a fantastic night at Annabel’s in London enjoying the live performance of famous DJ Black Coffee. After that I left to Saint Tropez (definitely with this clutch in my suitcase) for some fun time with friends, followed by my school reunion in Frankfurt. Yesterday, I was back in Zurich, today I am in Wimbledon and then tonight off to Johannesburg. No matter where I am and what I am doing, my motto is shine and sparkle and enjoy life to the fullest.
My look: Sequinned flared tulle jumpsuit by Halpern, St. Tropez beaded leather clutch by Aquazzura, Angel leather platform sandals by Gucci, silver-tone crystal clip earrings by Alessandra Rich, sunglasses by Celine, and laser-cut leather corset belt
by Alaïa.

Here is my outfit that I wore for my shoot with Nespresso at Watches & Wonders. It was the perfect day, as I absolutely adore coffee, fashion and watches. In terms of my outfit choice, I went for something stylish yet super comfortable. Can you imagine that I walked 10 kilometers at the fair?!
I hate being in line so instead of leaving my jacket at the cloakroom, I comfortably hang it over my shoulder as it comes with a strap and is super light. Being also fully waterproof, I can only recommend getting this piece for many occasions and years to come!
My look: Off-the-shoulder padded shell jacket by Alaïa, ruffled Lurex and velvet mini dress by Balmain, medium 16 bag in satiny calfskin leather
by Celine, suede boots with sleeve, and earrings, both by CHANEL.

For the Loubishow, that took place during Paris Fashion Week, I stepped into the spotlight with these amazing fringed overknee boots. Commanding attention with every step, they make a bold statement. With so many western style boots on display for the new season, I couldn’t have chosen a better pair to wear that night.
My look: Cropped wool jacket with gold buttons by Saint Laurent, crystal-embellished cotton collar by Area, knitted denim leggings, and denim knit hood, both by Alaïa, crystal-embellished cotton collar by Area, Bolcheva 120 fringed suede over-the-knee boots, and Palmette crystal-embellished suede cross-body bag, both by Christian Louboutin, crystal-embellished snake necklace by Alessandra Rich, mirrored sunglasses by Balenciaga, Maillon de Cartier 16mm 18-karat white gold diamond watch

«The LaQuan Smith muse is a woman who appreciates glamour; someone who is not afraid to dress up in the middle of the day just to run her errands “like a boss woman should.”» – Laquan Smith
I am such a big fan of the work of Laquan Smith. His clothes are sexy and fun to go out with. Here you see me on the streets of London, my happy place, during the day, running some errands before going out. My favorite coat of the season is keeping me nicely warm.
My look: Belted padded hooded shell coat by Alaïa, cold-shoulder twill halterneck midi dress by LaQuan Smith, limited edition Maria Frou Alta satin platform pumps, and Paloma mini bag with flamenco strass, both by Christian Louboutin (Flamencaba collection), Clash de Cartier bracelet MM in white gold by Cartier, embellished leather belt, embellished clip-on earrings, embellished choker, and heart necklace, all by Alessandra Rich.

I am on my way to London with my beloved belted padded hooded shell coat. When it arrived at my doorstep, I was pretty hesitant, but after waiting a few days, I knew this will be THE coat of the season.
Pieter Mulier‘s Alaïa collections are directional but wearable – there’s an art in that balance that only the most skilled designers can achieve. This shell coat has oversized lapels and is padded to enhance the powerful silhouette. The Maison always draws attention to the waist so I am sure to knot the belt.
It arrives in a pouch (how great is this for travelling) and can be folded into a small little piece. Its oversized hood as well as its water-repellent material make it the perfect companion in cold and wet weather. I have never taken an umbrella since then.

«Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach. Flexibility is a requirement for survival. Have the will of a tiger, the strength of a leopard, and the heart of a lion.»
I like being a cat lady. If I was an animal, I would love to be a big cat. In my world, leopard is a color. This season, the classic print has been given a serious rebranding, and has been spotted allover. The best brand to look out for animal prints is by far Dolce & Gabbana! No doubt about that.
My look: Kim leopard-print cotton-blend chenille jumpsuit, and Sicily small crystal and leather handbag, both by Dolce & Gabbana, laser-cut leather corset belt by Alaïa, Mitza ring by Dior Fine Jewellery, grooved cabochon clip earrings
and Cherry leather platform ankle boots, both by Saint Laurent.

Dark blue is such an elegant color and it is THE color to wear right now if you want to look on-trend. I choose it for the beautiful cocktail party with Gianvito Rossi in London.
My look: Asymmetric draped stretch-jersey turtleneck jumpsuit by Alaïa, dark blue 105 suede pumps by Gianvito Rossi, crystal chandelier earrings by CHANEL (S/S 2023), and crystal-embellished Hourglass tote bag by Balenciaga.

Life is too short to wait … I decided not waste time on unimportant matters or unworthy emotions. Life is also too short to wait for a special event to wear a fabulous outfit. During my month here in London – I am having such a good time in this vibrant city – I love to dress up and go out. This has become one of my favorite looks.
My look: Lace turtleneck bodysuit, matching lace leggings, croc-effect vinyl mini skirt, and laser-cut leather corset belt, all by Alaïa, Cherry leather platform ankle boots by Saint Laurent, and black satin pochette (Métiers d’Art 2023 Collection Paris – Dakar) by CHANEL.
