Sandra‘s Closet

Marking the beginning of a new month and celebrating Switzerland’s National Day right where I am, in the heart of it. Dressed in Alaïa, inspired by the graceful spiral of the Guggenheim Museum in New York, curves, structure, and movement. Art and architecture translated into fashion.

My look: Cropped asymmetric denim jacket, matching pleated denim mini skirt, and thin spiral gold-tone earrings, all by Alaïa, key charm with pearls by Simone Rocha, Arcadie leather mini bag, doll technical yarn trick, trick key chain with lock, leather, cord and metal trick, and cord bracelet, all by Miu Miu, embellished aviator-style recycled-acetate and gold-tone sunglasses by Bottega Veneta, and Nama Leather-trimmed embroidered suede and mesh platform sneakers by Chloé.

This Sunday on MY STYLE ROCKS it’s K-POP madness – and your favorite juror (yes, me) showed up like a glitter explosion met a rainbow in Seoul. 🦄💥

I’m rocking:
🖤 A black tulle skirt with maximum drama.
👢 Platform boots that make me 2 inches closer to stardom.
🌈 A denim jacket in rainbow realness (yes, the back is a whole mood!).
💎 A glitter top because subtlety is not in the K-Pop dictionary.
🌙 Space buns? Of course. Iconic, intergalactic, indispensable.
(All details below, just click on the links to be transferred to the respective websites.)

And wait for it… one of the fabulous contestants dedicated a glowbiotic with schisandra to me. I’ve officially made it – skincare meets fan culture meets fashion fantasy.

You do not want to miss this episode. Fashion, fun, and fabulous chaos – just the way we like it.

A touch of lace, a whisper of dreams. For last week’s bridal-themed MY STYLE ROCKS episode, I stepped into a gown that once waited patiently for its moment. Today, it shines under a different kind of spotlight — one that celebrates style, strength, and a little bit of magic. Sometimes, dresses find their destiny in unexpected places.

As worn in Gala Episode 62 «Wedding» on MY STYLE ROCKS Season 2.

My look: Ruffled bridal dress and matching lace garter with blue bow, and veil with feathers, all by Christopher Kane, long daisy leaf clyster earrings by Simone Rocha, printed metallic leather box clutch by Dolce & Gabbana, and white silk pumps with crystals by Saint Laurent.

This collaboration explores the creative juxtaposition of femininity and utilitarianism, bringing to life new designs that combine Crocs’ practical DNA with Simone Rocha‘s signature aesthetic. The collaboration was shown alongside the S/S 2024 collection «The Dress Rehearsal» which explored notions of matrimony and ceremony. The styles reflect these ideas shown through tiered cake inspired embellishments in crystal and pearl that have become synonymous to the brand.

The collection includes three silhouettes – the Classic Clog, the Siren and the Quick Trail.

The Classic Clog was the signature starting point of the collaboration, exploring the idea of adorning the Crocs, pushing the style into a precious place in contrast to its practical nature.

The Siren is a new shape marrying the ideas of femininity and practicality.

The Quick Trail is rooted in Crocs’ authentic comfort, an archive style that has been reissued and reimagined.

The collection is available at Simone Rocha stores and online from April 2024.

Maybe it is not in the perfection of life that things make sense, but in the chaos. This can also apply to an outfit. Sometimes I like to mix and match unexpected things. The chaos can create perfection. With much love from Gstaad Palace.

I am obsessed with the Jimmy Choo x Jean Paul Gaultier collaboration featuring global pop star Kylie Minogue in the campaign. Fusing two creative identities and being born from a shared vision of femininity, empowerment and confidence, the capsule collection is co-designed by Jimmy Choo’s creative director Sandra Choi and JPG’s creative director, Florence Tétier. It revisits archive pieces from the Parisian fashion house, adapting them to contemporary tastes.

«Fashion for me has always been about collaboration with like-minded creatives, and pure personal self-expression. Jean Paul Gaultier and Jimmy Choo have both been part of my fashion journey, and I’m thrilled to work with both of them to celebrate this exceptional collection,» says Kylie Minogue of the partnership. «It’s our collective histories fusing, to create something fresh and new,» she adds.

Acting as an evolution of the longstanding relationship between Kylie and both brands, the campaign follows a long line of made-to-measure Gaultier looks and custom Jimmy Choo shoes. The campaign sees Kylie showcasing the new footwear collection and transforming into a modern-day pin-up.

My favorite pair of the collection: The black leather wedge pumps show both the icons of the cities that are home to the brands, the Eiffeltower and Big Ben, in their plexiglass heels.

For Jimmy Choo, the collaboration follows its recent team-up with Sailor Moon creator Naoko Takeuchi and for JPG, the collection follows its recent release with the corset-loving London ready-to-wear label KNWLS, alongside news of its next guest designer: Simone Rocha.

The heart shape as a motif is impossible to ignore in fashion right now. Already in June last year, I posted about the heart shaped bag trend. Fans of the heart bag may not intrinsically realize it, but the motif speaks to a psychological comfort during a time when things are still incredibly uncertain.

CHANEL debuted pastel quilted flap bags in the shape of chunky hearts on the S/S 2022 runway and they immediately sold out everywhere. I found one for you pre-owned in great condition, that is 15% off right now, please see below.

The shape of a heart is so beautiful, but also gives good energy and in some ways, hopefully, spreads love. Valentine’s Day is coming up and I thought you might get inspired. However heart shaped bags aren’t just for Valentine’s Day and weddings, just saying… happy shopping!

Are you ready for an unstoppable weekend? Then I recommend a visit to The Penthouse at the newly opened Five Zurich to party until the early hours. What to wear? Cutouts and some sparkles will make heads turn. Enjoy being the queen of the night.
