«Fashion is a weapon that you can use when you need it.» – Donatella Versace
Society’s ever-adapting fashion trends provide an opportunity for us to communicate our own message through our sense of style. Fashion is so much more than bags and brand names — it is a bridge between our inner and outer worlds, a medium for artistic expression, a call to creativity and self-exploration. Fashion is a weapon, use it wisely, as it can be one of the most powerful tools you have. It can be your magic confidence booster, and a tool to manipulate others how they conceive you. Be your own warrior!
My look: Tailored blazer by Balmain, Louis mini dress by Annie’s Ibiza x Clio Peppiatt, VSLING mini top handle handbag in black with sparkling embroidery, and studded Tan-Go platform pumps, both by Valentino, Eyota net stockings by Fogal, and crystal-embellished braided choker by Alessandra Rich.

Do not forget … it’s fashion and it’s for my museum. I have never had so many heads turning around than the day I walked through the streets of London in these shoes. I love pieces that are avantgarde, unexpected and different. Therefore I had to get Alexander McQueen‘s hoof boots and Balenciaga‘s super cool denim top, which you can easily restyle with a pair of jeans. Both are from the F/W 2024 collections, to shop them, click on the highlighted product description below.
My look: Knitted black cardigan, matching scarf, and hat, all by Stella McCartney, denim pants top (F/W 2024 Look 44) by Balenciaga, VLogo Moon embellished woven shoulder bag by Valentino, hoof booties (F/W 2024 Look 16) by Alexander McQueen, and diamond rose pendant necklace by Piaget.

As promised, here is my outfit that I wore to the radiant dinner with Clé de Peau Beauté in Cannes. We went on a sunset cruise and had a beautiful evening in the gardens of Château de la Napoule. The dress code said «black tie» and as we were unlocking a new radiance, I thought putting on a lot of sparkles is the perfect match!
My look: Sequin tuxedo blazer with feathers, and purple sequin halter gown, both by Michael Kors Collection, crystal-embellished Tan-Go pumps and small VSLING crystal-embellished crossbody bag, both by Valentino, sunglasses by CHANEL, and crystal-embellished snake necklace by Alessandra Rich.

Yesterday, I was invited by Valentino to an enchanting and mysterious evening. The dress code said: «Dark as Le Noir», reminiscent of the Maison’s F/W 2024 collection, for which Pierpaolo Piccioli presented pieces centered around a monochromatic black palette, exploring the depth and versatility of the color black.
The collection was marked by a sense of minimalism and elegance, focusing on silhouettes that ranged from structured to fluid. There was a mix of sharp tailoring and softer, more romantic elements, showcasing a balance between power and delicacy. Accessories were kept minimal, allowing the garments to speak for themselves.
We started the evening at 6pm at the Valentino pop-up store located on the first floor of the Mandarin Oriental Savoy Zurich. It was very hot and I have to admit that wearing an all black F/W 2024 outfit was not the most convenient choice but this is what you do for fashion :-).
After lots of shopping, lots of bubbly, and great conversations, we left for the secret location which was the LUX am See Restaurant in Zurich. I hadn’t been there before and was curious to explore something new.
I go to many events but I have to tell you that my Valentino family is truly special. The room is simply buzzing with great energy. The team is amazing and shopping at the Valentino store is always a fun experience.
Stay tuned for the outfit post coming up soon!

Art or not?! This questions touches on the debate wether fashion is considered art and if it should be collected the same way art is. I have seen fashion as art all my life and have been collecting for over 30 years. Today, it shows that I was right. High-fashion items have appreciated in value over time, much like art, making them valuable collectibles, . If you visit the Sotheby’s Salon at Bucherer, you will find many treasures that are hard to get and that have increased in value. It is a shopping haven for all fashion lovers and collectors!
My look: Oversized double-breasted two-tone wool-blend crepe blazer, matching pleated wool-blend crepe shorts, and studded Tan-Go platform pumps, all by Valentino, lingerie shirt by Schiaparelli, Faubourg Birkin 20 in So Black matte alligator with black hardware by Hermès, and yellow diamonds pear shape earrings (25.31 carat fancy deep yellow, VS1, 25.33 carat fancy brownish Yellow, VVS1, 4.8 carat white diamonds, H-I, with GIA certificates), available at The Sotheby’s Salon.

Outfit public, destination unknown. Would you go on a mystic tour, where the destination is unknown to you until the last moment? Ideal for adventurous travellers who enjoy the thrill of the unknown and trust the expertise of the travel planner, who will give you little insights about weather, season and activities beforehand so that you to know what to pack. The final reveal of your destination will happen while landing. I did it and I loved it!

Being back in my old home town was pure magic. Chicago, I love you. I had an amazing time celebrating a wonderful friend. I have always had a thing for tulle dresses, probably because they feel like playing dress up and are reminiscent of a ballet tutu.

by Bottega Veneta, transparent pumps Tan-Go by Valentino, lace tights by Calzedonia, earrings with pearls, and necklace, both by Alessandra Rich, and Dynasty oversized geometric-frame sunglasses by Balenciaga.
