Documenting an interesting mix of my day

Apparently everyone thought I was a journalist or stylist (about 12 ladies!)

My staple when dashing in London between calls meetings and exhibitions

My highlight of June

The Queen

So chic

It was a phenomenal exhibition to see the Queen’s fashion legacy & true British tailoring 🪡 and hand written notes I adore

Piece of sample for the Queen’s wedding dress

Loo says everything about a place

Milan Design Week is no longer just a design fair. It has become one of the world’s most powerful cultural gathering points for fashion, luxury, art, hospitality, and global consumers.

The smartest brands understood something important:
people no longer just buy products. They want to enter worlds.

Luxury is shifting from retail to cultural experience — and that is exactly what emerging brands should learn when building long-term community and relevance.

Bottega Veneta | Lightful | Salone Del Mobile

The installation literally turns weaving into architecture and light - Louise Trotter is pushing the house away from product display into material intelligence. - Kwangho Lee’s influence: controlled chaos + material experimentation, Lee’s work is never clean luxury. It’s tension rooted in Korean basketry and traditional craft, but pushed into irregular, almost raw forms.
It’s about turning craft into something spatial, emotional, and almost spiritual — where material, hand, and intuition sit at the same level.
Most brands collaborate for visibility.
This one moves the brand forward.

On a personal note, it’s powerful to see a Korean artist at the centre of one of the year’s most defining cultural moments — spanning fashion, art, and design. ✨

My most excited visit and worth the wait
Entering Aquae Mirabilis didn’t feel like an installation but immersive artwork.
Luke Edward Hall imagined an underwater kingdom around a hidden narrative — the mythology of Italian caviar.
Ancient civilisations. A sturgeon that has existed for 180 million years. Every layer adds depth, rarity, and time.
But this wasn’t storytelling for its own sake.
This was craft translated into a universe.
Texture, engraving, repetition — the same codes that define their jewellery — reinterpreted across objects, space, and experience. Not product. Culture, given form.
At Salone del Mobile, Buccellati doesn’t adapt to the context. They expand beyond it.
Why it is my favourite? Because I love art meets living pieces beyond jewellery - what a joyful way to tableset for your guests and entertain? I manifest my future villa and I know who’ll be on my guests list 🩵🧜‍♀️🧜✨

One of my highlights of Milan Design Week ✨ 10 Corso Como.

When you walked past, there was a gigantic octopus wrapped around this iconic legacy store. Designed by Andy Hillman for Moncler’s “Have a Puffy Summer.”
Inside the store, the octopus tentacles snake through every floor — cleverly designed, each room telling a different story. Moncler collection on one level, Cassina furniture installations on another, I was in my candy shop. I love seeing stores combined with art, interior and fashion. Completely seamless.

Walked up to the terrace. Saw the back of the octopus’s head. Watched people streaming in from the courtyard.
By the time when I came down, the entire shop floor was heaving. People genuinely excited and shopping!

When a retail linking with strong experience and concept, traffic comes naturally, i wonder if the sales converted? I truly hope so ✨🐙

24 hours in Milano - One of my favourites
When Apricots Blossom was one of the few that made you slow down — and stay.

From the moment you entered, there was a quiet control. Draped forms, soft structure, a sense of calm before anything revealed itself. Then downstairs — sound, metal, rhythm. Almost meditative.

Uzbek craft, not shown as heritage, but as life in motion — precision, repetition, intention in every detail.

In a week driven by spectacle, this felt human.

“When positioning is clear, everything else aligns.”

Jacques Marie Mage didn’t scale through visibility. It scaled through conviction.

A distinct point of view.
A refusal to follow minimalism.
A product defined by craft—150 steps, hand-finished in Japan.

Scarcity wasn’t created.
It was built into the product.

From there, everything else followed—
spaces, community, demand.

People don’t queue for eyewear.
They queue for what it represents.

Position first.
Then protect what makes it rare.
