A staccato wrap-up of last week!
WROTE “The Pre-Fall Edit” – a love letter to that magical in-between moment when sandals happily coexist with cashmere sweaters. Inside: six effortlessly chic looks built from 50 versatile pre-fall pieces, packed with easy layers, elevated basics, and go-to staples. More here.
TRAVELLED to Zurich last weekend and, once again, was floored by the architecture, the lake, the food, the quality of life. Here are some snaps I couldn’t resist taking.
FOLLOWED Copenhagen Fashion Week from afar. My highlight? Danish design duo Skall Studio teaming up with Milan-based jewellery atelier Le Sundial for their S/S26 collection, La Danse, Act II. Think flowing, poetic silhouettes paired with minimal yet sculptural pieces… I was obsessed.
FELL INTO a massive rabbit hole – zero regrets. If you follow Role Model, you already know “Sally, When the Wine Runs Out”. It’s snowballed into what the internet calls “the Sally epidemic” – at every show, he picks a Sally from the crowd (or sometimes a surprise celeb like Natalie Portman, Bowen Yang, or Troye Sivan) to hop onstage and dance. Pure serotonin. Wholesome and impossible to scroll past.

OBSESSED OVER with croc-effect/embossed clothes and accessories (you might’ve spotted them in my last pre-fall edit) – they add such a glossy edge to any outfit. Definitely sensing a micro-trend here. Currently loving these ones from COS, Toteme, Toteme, and Nour Hammour.
FOLLOWED “Looks On Screen”, an Instagram deep-diving into fashion in film and the stories behind it – from the Dior looks in “A Bigger Splash” to custom Manolos in “Marie Antoinette”.
WORE old linen trousers (similar ones here), a Breton shirt by Arket, Hermès sandals, earrings by Lie Studio, and a basket from our local market (find similar version on Etsy here and here.)
Have a wonderful rest of the weekend!
Lots of love,
Franzi
