Sandra‘s Closet

On my way to celebrate a dear friend’s birthday, I chose an outfit that felt both unusual and comforting, a soft, easy ensemble paired with a beautifully detailed vest, platform sneakers, and touches of rose gold shimmering through my shoes, my bag, and the vest itself.

Since losing my mother, life has felt like an endless attempt to find my way back. Grief makes even the smallest things heavy, and yet fashion gives me little sparks of light, a reminder that creativity, beauty, and self-expression can gently guide me forward. It’s not always easy, but these small steps every day matter.

My look: Embellished wool and silk-blend twill vest and Open Disco leather wedge sneakers, both by Valentino, printed mesh top, and matching printed mesh flared trousers, both by Jean Paul Gaultier, Screen rectangular sunglasses by Loewe, 4810 hoop earrings in pink gold with diamonds by Montblanc, and Nina leather bag by Gabriela Hearst.

Zurich’s weather is currently somewhere between «meh» and «what is this humidity?» … but hey, the jungle vibes are free. With a bathing-suit-meets-dreamy-wrap-skirt combo, a bold hat, and my trusty bamboo stick, I’m fully embracing my inner Tarzan. This look is an instant vacation mood booster, even if the only wild adventure today is dodging summer rain.

My look: One-shoulder ruffled printed swimsuit, Tropical Agitations wrap-effect ruffled printed cotton-voile maxi skirt and We Are Human embellished tasseled belt, all by Johanna Ortiz, Santon grosgrain-trimmed straw hat by Jacquemus, Betty bow-embellished suede platform sandals and Apophis cuff, both by Saint Laurent, T printed textured-leather pouch by Loewe, and gold-tone bead earrings by Isabel Marant.

Buttercup Yellow is having a moment, bold and soft at once, and full of life. I built this look around a relaxed-fit, slightly transparent pant in the season’s most radiant hue, and let the color echo in the details: soft yellow nails and a basket bag with a matching pop of sunshine. It’s a tone that turns heads without trying too hard, just like summer should feel.

My look: Stretch-jersey bandeau bra and briefs set, pleated georgette peplum tapered pants, and patent leather-trimmed mesh ballet flats, all by Alaïa, beehive basket bag by Loewe, vintage black braided cord necklace by Emporio Armani, and Audrey wayfarer sunglasses by Celine.

A little tribute to Jonathan Anderson, who truly grasps something essential about fashion — the pure joy it sparks when it surprises us with something we never knew we needed, yet instantly love the moment we see it. «We have to start loving fashion again,» he once told Vogue. «We don’t know what tomorrow’s going to bring. So let’s enjoy it!» I couldn’t agree more.

Wishing you all a joyful Easter weekend — and dreaming of another beautiful escape to Clinique La Prairie sometime soon. Preferably, of course, in the most fashionable way possible.

My look: Appliquéd embroidered jacquard-knit wool cardigan, and matching printed high-rise wide-leg jeans, both by Loewe (S/S 2021), Falling Apart embroidered jersey bodysuit by Johanna Ortiz, black mesh ballerinas with strap by CHANEL, floral earrings by Dolce & Gabbana, Birkin 35 Togo orange by Hermès, and Audrey wayfarer sunglasses by Celine.

In a major shake-up in the fashion world, Jonathan Anderson, the creative force behind JW Anderson, has been named the new artistic director of Dior Homme. The move marks a significant shift both for the designer and for the French luxury house, as Anderson prepares to take the reins of one of menswear’s most prestigious brands.

Anderson, who has long been known for his boundary-pushing, gender-fluid designs, has spent the last decade building his namesake label into a critical darling and commercial success. He has also served as creative director at Loewe since 2013, where he’s been widely credited with revitalizing the Spanish luxury label with his distinctive artistic vision. To see why I had always been a huge fan of his designs for Loewe, click here please.

His appointment at Dior Homme signals a potential new direction for the brand, one that may blend Dior’s classic tailoring with Anderson’s more avant-garde, experimental approach. Dior Homme has traditionally been known for its sleek, structured silhouettes, most recently under the leadership of Kim Jones, whose streetwear influences brought a fresh energy to the house.

Preppy tailoring and relaxed sportswear converge in the Dior Men Fall 2025 lifestyle capsule by Kim Jones.

With Anderson stepping in, the fashion industry is buzzing with anticipation. Will he bring elements of his own label’s playfulness and subversive style to Dior? Or will he chart an entirely new course, merging the heritage of Dior with a more conceptual lens?

Dior hastily issued a one-line press release saying Anderson was working on its spring 2026 men’s collection, which would be presented on June 27 at 2:30 p.m. during Paris Fashion Week. It also distributed a new official portrait of Anderson by photographer David Sims.

As the fashion world waits for his first collection, all eyes will be on Paris to see how Anderson reshapes the legacy of Dior Homme. Personally speaking, as a big fan of his work, I would have loved seeing him at Dior to do the womenswear but let’s see …

One week ago, I posted whom I would love to see at Loewe after Jonathan Anderson’s exit had been announced and yesterday the Spanish House fulfilled my prediction: Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, the duo behind Proenza Schouler, will be taking over as the brand’s new creative directors starting April 7, 2025. They’re stepping in after Jonathan Anderson, who spent 11 years transforming Loewe into a globally respected fashion house with over $1.5 billion in annual revenue.

Their work has been instrumental in shaping modern fashion, with a design practice rooted in a rigorous exploration of craft filtered through an artistic sensibility, which has not only evolved the industry’s landscape but aligns with the values that underscore Loewe’s 179-year heritage.​ This move is also part of a bigger shake-up by Loewe’s parent company, LVMH, as they fine-tune leadership across several luxury labels.

It’s a pretty big shift, and I am curious and excited to see how their American fashion background will influence Loewe’s next chapter.
