Striped and Found

Let's leave the joy of layering to colder nights. During hot days, all we need is long and elongating pieces that are effortlessly covering. This long, straight-cut dress satin crêpe is from Marella and since summer is not over, neither is the striped mania. Statement oblige, I'm wearing my trademark sunnies and to clash with this monochrome ensemble, nothing like an appealing orange handbag fitted with metallic handles.

Cheyma SS18

After my summer break in Tunisia and a quick trip to Dubai, I'm back in a sunny Switzerland, pumped and ready for another year of greatness, God willing. Meanwhile, I'm sharing with you in exclusivity one of my favorite look of Cheyma Spring Summer 2018 collection. Shot by one of the best photographer in town: Hannah Shan. 

Long denim skirt stories

Back in Switzerland and diving directly into a vintage skirt pool mood. This look is inspired by my Mother, I remember a picture of her not quite long after her arrival in Switzerland in 1989 and in terms of style, she had nothing to envy to the Swiss ladies. In this picture, she was wearing a long front buttoned denim skirt with a simple light blue shirt, killing it Mama! Still does. Now it's my turn to rock this style but with a ruffled shirt because making waves without consequences has never been so easy. Shiny V-Cut heeled shoes and my favorite fanny of this season and voilà: casual, vintage, chic.

Lookbook: Paris Haute Couture Week - FW 2017/2018

Here is some of my looks from the Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2017/2018 Week in Paris where I attended a selection of shows and presentations such as Rami Kadi, Alexis Mabille, Georges Hobeika, Tony Ward, Georges Chakra, Xuan Couture, Julien Fournié and Rami Al Ali. 

Starting with this red hit look that has been posted on the Street Style section of Vogue British, Vogue Germany, Vogue Arabia and WWD. I know right? This was a big moment for me. Seeing yourself under the Vogue word is like a red and white billboard telling you "you've got approved" and even if you trust your style and your message, it definitely feels (soooo) good and motivates you for the next steps. I'm wearing the Le Coq Sportif by Jean-Charles de Castelbajac hoodie, a Cortefiel Palazzo and a Mint&Berry fanny bag.

Summer breeze

There are dresses that you want to wear all summer. Maxi-dresses are my go-to when temperatures rise and inspiration on how to be covered, fresh and still look stylish goes down. Effortless, chic, incredibly light and delicate, this Mint&Berry dress had my heart as soon as I tried it on. Combined with a hat for the beach or a voluminous scarf for when the sun sets its rays, this dress is a summer call for thoughtless and peaceful vacation moments.

Seeing Red

This year's runways are bold and bright as they are bringing back the striking colour red playing it casually like it was the colour black. Red, finally back and far from the Cindy Crawford's 1991 plunging Versace gown at the Oscars. This time we have seen a range of revisited red. Including different tints, models and materials: Valentino's vinyl trench, Dior's red bright party dress or Balenciaga's haute oversized hoodies. Therefore, it's only natural that I embrace this mode with one of the few colours that has its own language of braveness and power. To realize this, and since everything from the 90's is having a revival, I chose a tracksuit kind of bottom from Lost Ink. To cope with that much statement I added a black scarf, a destructured white shirt and here we are, spring ready for fall and ready to talk without speaking.
