Under the fading full moon, I had the pleasure of attending the Gala Night of the Creative Women Forum Saudi Arabia 2025 at the National Museum in Riyadh, a truly enchanting evening that felt straight out of One Thousand and One Nights. For this special occasion, I chose an outfit from Taller Marmo, a brand that perfectly embodies modern sophistication with a touch of timeless Middle Eastern allure. Surrounded by inspiring women, art, and culture, the night shimmered with creativity, beauty, and elegance.
My look: Suratt fil coupé kaftan by Taller Marmo, Torchon gold-tone crystal clip earrings
by Alessandra Rich, Angel leather platform sandals by Gucci, black shimmering scarf by Moschino, and velvet strass evening flap bag in black and gold by CHANEL.
Stay tuned for so much more coming up from my recent trip to Saudi Arabia.

After some heavy weeks, I chose color and sparkles again. Going to lunch with my daughter and my star-reading, high-energy friend Alexandra Kruse reminded me that life keeps moving, and joy can return in unexpected ways. This outfit carries brightness for the days when the heart feels heavy, a little reminder that love, light, and connection always find their way back. Stay strong!

For our MY STYLE ROCKS ‘Fictional Childhood Heroes’ episode, I dove into the magic of Minnie Mouse – with a twist. I never buy costumes; instead, I love the challenge of creating looks from pieces I already own. This time, I transformed designer staples from my closet into a couture version of Minnie. A little imagination goes a long way – and fashion is the best playground.
Worn in MY STYLE ROCKS Season 2 Gala Episode 36.

Georgian designer Demna is leaving Balenciaga after a decade to become Gucci’s new Artistic Director, starting early July 2025.
During a surprise press conference at the Parisian headquarters of parent company Kering, the newly instated Gucci CEO Stefano Cantino said: «I have always admired Demna’s creative approach, that is both unique and powerful. His ability to honor the iconic legacy of a brand while embracing a modern sensibility is extraordinary. With Gucci’s strengthened foundations as a springboard, Demna will lead the House towards renewed fashion authority and enduring cultural relevance.»
At the Balenciaga F/W 24 show in Paris wearing Demna’s designs head to toe.
Both Gucci and Balenciaga, where Demna has been creative director for nearly 10 years, are owned by Kering. At Balenciaga, Demna has redefined modern luxury, earning global recognition and cementing his authority on the industry.
Founded in Florence in 1921, Gucci is renowned for eclectic and contemporary creations that represent the pinnacle of Italian craftsmanship and are unsurpassed in quality, attention to detail and imaginative design.
Demna said: «I am truly excited to join the Gucci family. It is an honor to contribute to a House that I deeply respect and have long admired. I look forward to writing together with Stefano and the whole team a new chapter of Gucci’s amazing story.»
Gucci hasn’t set a date for Demna’s debut show, but it isn’t expected to come before September. That means Gucci’s next big moment on the fashion calendar — a May 15th cruise show in Florence, the brand’s birthplace — will be another studio-designed affair.

Gucci today announces the end of its collaboration with Creative Director Sabato De Sarno after only two years. The F/W 2025 fashion show in Milan on February 25 will be presented by the Gucci design office. The new Artistic Direction will be announced in due time.
Stefano Cantino, CEO of Gucci, said: «I would like to express my deep gratitude to Sabato for his passion and dedication to Gucci. I sincerely appreciate how he honored Gucci’s craftsmanship and heritage with such commitment.»
Francesca Bellettini, Kering Deputy CEO in charge of Brand Development, declared: «I sincerely thank Sabato for his loyalty and professionalism. I am proud of the work that has been done to further strengthen Gucci’s fundamentals. Stefano and the new Artistic Direction will continue to build on this and to guide Gucci towards renewed fashion leadership and sustainable growth.»
Gucci Ancora Campaign by David Sims S/S 2024
Personally speaking, De Sarno have been praised for his collections which I have never understood. I found his collections for Gucci so boring and felt I had everything already in my closet from previous years from designers who were at the reigns before him. The sizing was also absolutely bad.
Gucci gave no hint of who might replace De Sarno but there’s no shortage of big names available, or potentially available, with plenty of speculation about star creatives soon to move on from their existing labels. For now though, we’ll just have to wait and see.
