Dior’s Lucky Beginning

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.

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

Happy St. Patrick’s Day

St.Patrick'sDay

To all my Irish readers, Happy St. Patrick’s Day 2012!

When I lived in Chicago, one of my favourite days during the year was the 17th of March when the Chicago River was dyed green for this special occasion (see tiny photo to the left). It is a 50-year tradition in the American city where many Irish are living.

Did you know? It’s said that blue was originally the colour associated with the holiday but over time green took over in popularity due to Ireland’s nickname as “The Emerald Isle”, the green in the Irish flag and the clover that St. Patrick used in his teachings about Catholicism.
Thank God, it was changed to green as blue would have been such an ordinary colour for the Chicago river.

During my last trip to Ireland, it was raining pretty much all the time. This inspired me to style this fashionable outfit for the more humid days:

Star-print rain coat by Miu Miu, cable-knit cashmere sweater by Ralph Lauren Black Label, high-waisted cotton-canvas skirt by See by Chloé, 1970 small leather shoulder bag by Gucci and Wellington boots by Hunter.

Leap Year

Lepa Year

The new movie “Leap Year”  starring Amy Adams and Matthew Goode is hitting the cinemas today. The romantic comedy is about the Irish tradition that women may only propose to men in leap years on February 29th. It is believed this antiquated custom was started in 5th century  Ireland by the legendary St. Patrick.

In the movie, Anna (Amy Adams) is disappointed because her boyfriend does not ask the important question on their four-year anniversary. Therefore she wants to take matters into her own hands and follows him to Dublin to get down on one knee herself on Leap Day. But before that she has to face all sorts of problems as she is stranded on the other side of the Emerald Isle due to bad weather conditions. With the help of an innkeeper named Declan (Matthew Goode) she travels across the beautiful country and experiences that the road to love can be unexpected.

Lepa Year2

As I am really looking forward to seeing this movie, I got inspired to create an outfit for the perfect proposal in the Irish countryside. Wouldn`t Anna look awesome in this cute belted flower dress by Stella McCartney combined with the faux-fur cocoon shrug by Elizabeth and James to keep her warm?! As it can be really muddy, the adorable quilted wellingtons by Marc Jacobs would be a functional but stylish addition to this cute look. And last but not least who could resist her glamorous embroidered sequined clutch by Stella McCartney and the vintage Bulgari pieces? Me- definitely not!

LoL, Sandra
