Sandra‘s Closet

Red leather, knee-high. Lola knew what she was doing. A boot like this changes your posture before it changes anything else, and you feel it the moment you stand. I wore mine at L’Oscar London, which runs a Kinky Boots package until July 11, 2026 and which looks like a stage that has been waiting all day for an entrance.

Then the coat. Embroidered, a showpiece that could headline on its own. The rule says pick one hero piece. I wore two –  including the clutch, it actually makes three.

My look: Renata embellished maxi coat by Alice + Olivia, cotton-poplin and jersey bodysuit by Valentino, vintage red leather boots by Prada, rushed logo belt by CHANEL, hedgehog clutch by JW Anderson, and crystal heart clip-on earrings in gold-tone brass by Alessandra Rich.

LoL, Sandra

London has always felt like the perfect backdrop for a little fashion rebellion, so it only made sense to channel my inner eighties icon Madonna, while wandering through the city streets.

This look is my love letter to the quintessential «Material Girl» era: a punk-meets-pop moment where nothing is too much and individuality is everything. Key elements include a dress with net layer, fingerless gloves, a cap and one of my favorite details, the garter belt, worn visibly at the leg. It is a little bold, a little rebellious, and very much in the spirit of eighties styling.

What I love most about this aesthetic is its fearless approach to self-expression. It’s not about dressing neatly, it’s about telling a story, breaking a few rules, and having fun while doing it. Walking through London dressed like this felt powerful, nostalgic, and completely free.

Sometimes fashion is at its best when it doesn’t whisper – it sings.

My look: Double-breasted raw-edge bouclé jacket by Balmain, layered dress in white jersey dress and black logo net (Look 23 – Cruise 2022), tweed cap, 2019 fingerless studded gloves, logo belt, garter thigh micro flap bag, (Look 31 – Cruise 2022), 80’s inspired chain earrings, 21K black nylon and patent leather interlocking CC knee high sock boots (F/W 2021/22 Act II), and 19A all about chains waist bag (2019 Métiers d’Art collection (Paris-Egypt)), all by CHANEL.

LoL, Sandra

When the heat wave hit Zurich, I took these photos in my garden of my new beach look that has become one of my favorites this summer. I definitely felt like ice in the sunshine and wished sometimes the CHANEL clutch was made of real ice cubes.

My look: Crystal-embellished lace maxi dress and knotted halterneck bikini, both by Alessandra Rich, set of two silver-tone calf hair brooches and leather platform sandals, both by Saint Laurent, ice cube clutch bag, straw hat, logo belt and logo earrings, all by Chanel.

LoL, Sandra
