Sandra‘s Closet

Feels Like Prada – I have been collecting Prada from the early beginning (thank you, Mama, for spoiling me at an early age). Miuccia Prada’s first creation was the now-classic Prada backpack called the Vela, which made its debut in 1984. In 1988, she showed her first ready-to-wear collection for F/W, that was focused on clean lines and timeless silhouettes. Since then, she has influenced how we think about fashion, without you knowing about it probably. Personally speaking, she is the real trendsetter in the industry, sometimes even a little ahead of time.

For me, it is fascinating to see how the young generations crave now for Prada. The recent launch of the re-edition nylon bags caused a true fashion frenzy. Needless to say, I feel blessed that I have kept everything in my closet. I love to mix and match from different seasons as you can see in this look, shot during Milan Fashion Week.

My look: Cropped organic denim jacket, denim bralette (both F/W 2021), synthetic reflective silver track pants (F/W 2017), frame comic-print leather bag (S/S 2018), light green pumps (S/S 2012), spiked bead collar necklace (S/S 2003), and wide blue head band (F/W 2020), all by Prada.

LoL, Sandra

This was my outfit that I wore to the BREITLING store opening last week. Definitely not for the faint-hearted that suffer from arachnophobia as this mint-green cotton shirtdress from the Prada S/S 2018 runway is decorated with an eye-catching cartoon of six black, yellow and pink tarantulas above a swishy leopard-print skirt.

My look: Multi-print shirt dress, frame comic-print leather bag, comic print choker with spider charm and cadillac sunglasses, all by Prada, Adriana leopard-print calf hair and snake-effect leather platform sandals, all by Marc Jacobs.

Happy Mother’s Day to all of you! I hope that you will be spoilt and have to time to relax on this very special day. Personally speaking, family means a lot to me and therefore I was very happy to spend the last weekend in my hometown Frankfurt in Germany to celebrate my nephew’s baptism. I am very blessed as I have amazing parents and a super duper little sister!

Frankfurt is a city full of contrasts. In the center, it is filled with skyscrapers that gave it the nickname «Mainhattan». If you head to the suburbs, you will find the most beautiful landscapes, green and picturesque. I am sure that you can feel the diversity in my pictures.

In this post, you see me wearing pieces from Prada’s S/S 2018 collection which I absolutely adore. Miuccia Prada collaborated with eight female illustrators who depict women in their own «uniquely empowering way» as the fashion show notes read. From manga to punk to sci-fi by artists such as Brigid Elva, Jöelle Jones, Stellar Leuna, and Trina Robbins among others, let the artwork do the talking!

My look: Tiger-print Misty-patch coat, comic-print one-shoulder cotton dress, frame comic-print leather bag, and appliquéd leather sneakers, all by Prada. Square-frame glitter sunglasses by Gucci, Rose des Vents bracelet, 18k yellow gold, diamond and turquoise by Dior, Tonda 1950 set clarity watch by Parmigiani Fleurier, and diamond ring by Vainard Fine Jewellery.
