They say black never goes out of style, but this F/W 2025 season, brown is redefining elegance. In Boston, I embraced a head-to-toe brown look that feels effortlessly chic, warm, and sophisticated. To break the monotony and add a playful twist, I styled it with a vibrant Christian Louboutin bag, the perfect pop of color that turns the entire outfit into a true statement. Sometimes, it only takes one bold accessory to elevate a monochrome look from classic to unforgettable.

My look: Cable-knit wool and cashmere puffer jacket, and cotton midi dress, both by Polo Ralph Lauren, Torchon gold-tone crystal clip earrings by Alessandra Rich, Frankie 85 snake-effect leather ankle boots by Jimmy Choo, and Breizcaba embellished embroidered felt and leather-trimmed canvas tote by Christian Louboutin.

LoL, Sandra

There are fashion pieces that come and go and then there are icons that define a whole era. The Chloé Paddington bag was the moment of the early 2000s, and I still have my original. Now that it has been reissued, I couldn’t resist bringing it back into the spotlight. For this shoot, I paired it with a sharp denim look and set it against the Reflecting Pool in Boston, a place where the city’s energy slows down for just a moment. Boston isn’t the obvious fashion capital, but that’s what makes it interesting: a city built on history, reinventing itself in the present, just like this bag. It’s fashion meeting travel, nostalgia meeting now and I love standing right at that intersection.

My look: Cropped denim jacket, high-rise flared jeans, and stretch-corded lace bodysuit, all by Zimmermann, Frankie 85 snake-effect leather ankle boots by Jimmy Choo, Paddington leather shoulder bag, shearling and gold-tone charm, logo necklace, Chloé iconic belt, and Carlina round-frame gold-plated sunglasses, all by Chloé.
