Own the sky in my Aviator couture collection
Are you ready for takeoff? You better be, because this season, we will reach for the stars with feminist hero of flight Amelia Earhart. By flying solo across the Atlantic in 1932, this pioneering aviator showed women worldwide that the sky is NOT the limit. Standing defiantly on the wing of her plane in her jodhpurs, leather jacket and lace-up boots, Amelia exuded both grit and grace. She personified freedom. And she gave us something we had been craving for a long time: our own, swashbuckling heroine.
When people called Amelia ‘crazy and reckless’, she didn’t disagree. “Everyone has oceans to fly, if they have the heart to do it. Is it reckless? Maybe. But what do dreams know of boundaries?”, Amelia would say, flashing her dazzling, gaptoothed smile. And off she went, to break another outrageous record. Even when it came to love, Amelia was the pilot of her own destiny. “I cannot guarantee to endure at all times the confinements of even an attractive cage,” Amelia warned publicist George P. Putnam on their wedding day. She followed her heart, not his. The way Amelia loved, lived and embraced all the inevitable risks was a spectacular manifestation of my motto ‘dare to dream, dare to grow, dare to be’. And as we fly into the future of feminism, Amelia dares us to dream bigger and bolder: “Women, like men, should try to do the impossible.”
My new Couture Collection is designed for women ready to take flight. Reach for the stars in these spectacular, sage green pieces inspired by the iconic, badass bomber jacket. Thanks to the eye-popping patches, you can – quite literally – wear your feminine feminism as a badge of honor!

More than a feeling
Don’t ignore your emotions; they are much more powerful than you can imagine. By linking the magical world of emotions with hard science, Dutch scientist Pierre Capel, professor emeritus in experimental immunology, shows us the consequences of our feelings and the power of our minds. The message: we can do much more than we think. “Meditate. It’s the single best thing you can do for your health.”

Keto curious?
The fact that I feel bikini-confident all year round is, of course, a nice bonus. But for me, the biggest payoff of following the keto diet is the way it optimizes my health and gives me tons of energy.

Super (skin) food
‘If you can’t eat it, why put it on your skin?’. I pretty much live by this beauty adage. After all, with your skin being one of your body’s largest organs, anything – and I mean anything! – you put onto your skin will end up in your bloodstream.
