Dear friends,I’ve just returned from Milan Design Week, and while the design scene was as inspiring as ever, it was the people – especially the women – who left a lasting impression. There’s something quietly magnetic about the way Milanese women dress. It’s not about chasing trends or making a statement, but about cultivating a sense of presence. Their style is elegant yet playful, refined but never rigid.

Dear Friends,Some people follow fashion, and some define it. Audrey Hepburn belonged to the latter category – not because she chased trends or made bold statements, but because she understood the power of simplicity. Long before the term “capsule wardrobe” became a thing, Audrey was already its queen. She instinctively built a wardrobe filled with just the right pieces – elegant, versatile, and timeless. She wasn’t really into fast-changing styles. For her, it was always quality over quantity.

Dear friends,Spring brings a sense of renewal – a time to strip things back, embrace simplicity, and curate a wardrobe that feels timeless rather than trend-led. This season, I’m drawn to pieces that capture the effortless glamour of the ’70s and the quiet refinement of the ’90s. Think Lee Radziwill’s polished nonchalance meets the clean lines and understated looks of early Jil Sander. The goal?

Dear friends,Let’s talk about steel! My algorithm has been obsessed with it lately, taking over every feed on every platform - and honestly, it’s easy to see why. In residential spaces, steel interiors started gaining traction in the 1930s and 1940s, thanks to the rise of Art Deco and Streamline Moderne. Since then, it’s been the ultimate balance between industrial edge and refined elegance. Whether in kitchens or living rooms, steel adds a sleek, timeless touch.

Dear friends,Butter yellow is so awesome, and for good reason. First of all, the world loves butter—or should I say loves butter *again*? Whipped, sculpted into objects, browned… it’s been having a major moment in artisanal food creations. But beyond the culinary world, this soft, creamy shade has taken over all aspects of lifestyle, embodying the perfect balance of warmth, elegance, and luxury. It’s sophisticated and timeless, making it the ideal colour for both beautiful dressing and home décor.
