Studio Session

my kind of uniform, personal style & investment pieces

Hi all,

today I wanted to share a couple of old photos that I created in my studio almost a year ago. I found them again after scrolling through my camera roll to look for outfit inspiration and what I wore in the past. (I always do this when I don’t know what to wear) and thought, why not share them on Substack too.

Most of the bags and items you’ve seen many times but perhaps this post may help some of you to create new outfit combinations. You know I love layering and more oversized fits, so here are my uniforms:

From left to right: Outfit 1: Rhune jacket + scarf, Bottega Clutch, ESSEN boots. Outfit 2: (This was actually in collaboration with Mytheresa: Toteme trench (similar), The Row shirt, bag and trousers, Alaia flats. Outfit 3: The Row top, belt, trousers (similar) and bag. Outfit 4: Vince knit, Tiger of Sweden skirt. Outfit 5: Toteme trench, Weekend and Beyond trousers, Kaite bag and Alaia flats.

That collar is spectacular!

The Khaite Amelia tote bag have been in heavy rotation since I got it. I’m thinking to get the black one as well. I also love suiting, especially a more oversized fit like this gorgeous chocolate one. It also looks great with grey colours and I will definitely re-create this look.

Khaite bag, Alaia flats, The Row belt, House of Dagmar turtleneck

Beige, grey and chocolate brown:

CAMILLA AND MARC trench, House of Dagmar knit and trousers, The Row belt and bag, old vintage ballet flats

I always loved the colour combination grey and brown together but it seems it was everywhere since last fall. I intuitively combined these old vintage flats from my mum with some satin trousers from House of Dagmar back then.

Turtlenecks are my Go-To:

I pair them with almost everything, I also wear turtlenecks under my heavier knits to keep me warm as I’m freezing all the time. Combined it here with this gorgeous Kelly belt that I got offered last year, the colour is so versatile and rich.

Light denim, a great body, silver and a little bit of Alaia:

Raey denim (slightly different one), Falke body, Alaia Le Coeur bag and Tiffany Elsa cuff. This cuff is my most worn jewelry the last couple of years! It’s such a special piece and so unique.

Denim definitely has its moment in 2023, especially this one from Raey (They also have a great new drop at Matches). I love the straight cut and lighter colour. I think it looks really chic with white and silver details. The black Falke body is also a very good one that I highly recommend, I have this one for almost 7 years now and I wear it to this day.

Belted details:

Very old Bottega Triangle belt that I still love and wear.

I love brown and black together, especially dark rich brown tones. Can you see how the belt pops out and makes the look elegant?

That image was everywhere on Pinterest back then.. still my favourite ballet flats and they are the most comfortable shoes! Alaia crystals and mesh . I also love these and these.

That’s all. Let me know if you like to see some more outfits I wore the last couple of years?
