Step gently, curious heart 
you’ve just stumbled into the garden where logic naps in flowerbeds 
and roses hum lullabies only bees understand.

A creature of lace and glittered dreams drifts between the blooms, 
while cobalt-blue hands—perhaps borrowed from a forgotten fable 
offer grapes like ancient treasures or temptations in disguise.

The air tastes like secrets. 
The flowers eavesdrop. 
And somewhere, the moon giggles behind a petal.

Alice tumbled down a rabbit hole 
but here, you simply blink, 
and you’re swept into a surreal sip of wonder, 
dressed in a daydream stitched with whimsy and a wink.

The Tale of the Rainbowfishes: Dressed in my most electrifying Nixi Killick look—a riot of colors, patterns, and unfiltered creativity—I stepped into the world feeling like a walking piece of futuristic art. The kind of outfit that turns heads, sparks conversations and feels like a living, breathing extension of imagination itself.

And then, I saw it. A drawing of a fish. But not just any fish—a fish that mirrored my outfit so precisely, so unbelievably, that it felt like the universe had reached out and whispered, This was meant to be. The colors, the swirls, the energy—it was as if my look had swum right off the fabric and onto the page.

It wasn’t a coincidence. It was something bigger, something rare. Like two rainbowfishes finding each other in the vastness of the ocean, a meeting so unlikely yet so deeply right.

Maybe that’s what happens when you embrace your most vibrant self—the world responds in kind. It sends little signs, unexpected echoes of your energy, tiny miracles hidden in plain sight. The more boldly you step into your colors, the more the universe throws color right back at you.

This moment was a reminder that standing out will always lead you to the magic. That the world is full of surprises waiting for those who dare to be different. And that somewhere, out there in the great unknown, another rainbowfish is waiting to swim into your story.

The new year is already a few hours old, yet it still hums with the energy of fresh beginnings and boundless possibilities. I love this feeling—the excitement of a blank canvas, the chance to imagine what life might look like if we dare to dream a little bigger, brighter, and bolder.

As I step into 2025, my resolution is to fully embrace that daring spirit. I want to be even more unapologetically myself, to create more art, to care less about pleasing others, and to dive headfirst into my mission of adding vibrancy, joy, and a dash of delightful madness to everyday life.

This year, I want to build a world that isn’t just lived in but celebrated. A world that feels alive, electric, and brimming with possibility. And here’s the thing: we can create that world. Every decision we make is a brushstroke on the canvas of our reality. With our dreams, our creations, and where we choose to place our focus, we have the power to make life extraordinary.

If you’re standing in front of options, always reach for the boldest one. When you’re choosing between good dreams and wild ones, go for the wildest. Wear the dress that makes you feel alive, paint with colors that light you up, and say yes to the ideas that make your heart race a little faster. Life is too short for compromise and too beautiful to settle for ordinary.

This isn’t just about fashion or art—it’s about the freedom to express yourself without fear. It’s about taking risks, celebrating individuality, and finding joy in the unpredictable. Whether it’s mixing the craziest patterns in your wardrobe, daring to share an idea that feels just a little too bold, or adding a touch of whimsy to your everyday, every act of creativity is an invitation to bring a spark of magic into the world.

So, this is my promise to myself for 2025: to lean into the boldest choices, to trust the wildest dreams, and to celebrate the beauty of every imperfect, colorful, and fearless step along the way. A masterpiece isn’t created by staying in the lines—it’s born from breaking them. Let’s paint the world brighter together.

Darlings, the season of sparkles and magic has arrived! The air is twinkling with possibility, and if you close your eyes, you can almost hear the whispers of dreams waiting to come true. This Christmas, let’s believe in the impossible and embrace our inner fairy princesses—because life is simply too short to live without a tiara! 

Deck your halls (and your heart) in every shade of pink imaginable. From blush to bubblegum, rose to raspberry, let the colors of joy and whimsy transform your space into a sugarplum wonderland. Bring out all your ornaments—the glitter-drenched stars, the velvet bows, and the candy cane charms. More is more, and this is the season to shine brighter than the North Star!

This Christmas, I wish for you to feel every ounce of sparkle life has to offer. May your days be merry and pink, your nights dreamy and bright, and your heart filled with the kind of joy that makes you believe you can do anything (because you can!).

Now, go sprinkle some magic, loves! The fairy tale is yours to write.

Welcome to the Flamingos on Rainbows party, where the cocktails are iconic, the fashion is fantastical, and the vibe is pure technicolor joy. I’m sitting in a bathroom drenched in a rainbow of light, the walls awash in vivid colors like a dreamscape of prisms and magic.

The air hums with laughter, and yes—those are flamingos! These fabulous pink creatures are my party companions, elegantly flouncing around as I twirl with a delicate Chinese paper umbrella in hand, ready to turn every corner into a whimsical runway.

My outfit is a pink explosion from head to toe. I’m a walking cocktail—Tequila Sunrise meets Cosmopolitan, but with even more flair and fun. The flamingos are the perfect partners in crime for this look, their flamboyant pink feathers swirling around me like a celebration of joy.

And the bathroom? Oh, it’s not just a space, it’s a rainbow wonderland. Each color catches the eye like a sip of a fresh mojito—zesty, energizing, and utterly refreshing. Every inch of this space makes you feel alive, a bold reminder that life should always be lived in full color.

Like a Piña Colada on a tropical island, this moment is pure delight, mixing fun with a splash of retro glamour. Theflamingos are my Jack Daniels on ice—cool, confident, and owning the scene.

I am honoured to be the face of Swiss hat manufacturer Risa. This is what they say about me in their catalogue:

Sara – an explosion of colour with glitter and sprinkles. Born in Appenzell, Sara Streule came into contact with colours at an early age. Her parents’ house, with its light blue façade, inspired her from an early age, as did various places such as an orange-coloured brick house in London. Sara found her home in Zurich. Colourful, whimsical, multi-layered and extremely creative, Sara lives and loves her life in the lovingly named ‘Pastel Palace’. As a creative director and model, Sara is not just an unparalleled work of art but also a muse who inspires with her ability to combine contrasts and colours with a twinkle in her eye. She is our muse for the 2024 summer campaign. We find it simply colour-tastic!

I will be an old lady with wrinkled skin if I am still alive in 2070. Thanks to my vegan, relatively healthy lifestyle and my discipline when it comes to attending my pilates lessons and saying no to addictions all my life, my chances are good that I will be fine.

I won’t fly to the moon or relocate to Mars, but I may have become something like an Iris Apfel of my generation. I will still have pink hair and keep my passion for colours and style. My wardrobe will be a tapestry of memories from all my travels and many years on earth. Whenever somebody asks after a bangle or a jacket, I will have a thrilling story of how I came to this piece, and it will not involve any commercial chains.

Since I will not have grandchildren, I might bother other young people with stories from my wild past, whether they want to listen or not. I might play my age and ignore the fact that they are not interested, and I will show them the crazy pictures I took when I was younger.

Born as a storyteller many years ago, I will have had the time to write my book till now, and hopefully, I did find a publisher. There was an exhibition about me and my style in London, and I put an effort into it, putting all the misfit pieces of my life together.

Hopefully, I will accept, if not embrace, the signs of time my body will carry and be proud of the journey of my body’s changes documented in photography. If some photographers were still willing to take my picture, I would not miss the camera lights, even if my pose might have become slightly less adventurous. I want to inspire and be a positive role model of age. Who needs a flying car when they can have this…

Feminist artist and photographer Iris Brosch says that all women are Madonnas and intends to add representations of diverse women to public spaces. The Black Madonna project asks for a redefinition and reposition of females in our society. I couldn’t be prouder to be a part of it in a Tableau Vivant installation.

The Black Madonna in Einsiedeln represents a paradoxical reality: She attracts millions of admirers, believers and pilgrims who face her in devotion. But what about the admiration and validation of womanhood in society? While the Black Madonna is a spiritual success, especially women of colour are still vastly underrepresented in the political and cultural realm.

The Black Madonna project intends to show the power of womanhood. The diverse cast shows the fluidity in spiritual experience.

Black Madonnas are found worldwide, between 400 and 500 in European churches and shrines. A very famous one is the one in Einsiedeln, which has been the reason for controversial debates about why her skin was black.

Minuki is taking over with a friendly, fluffy invasion. The little blue creatures with its big eyes, heart-shaped noses and arms wide open are always ready for a cuddle.

Minuki was dreamed by the mind of Taina, a Swiss-Finnish street-art artist whose mission is to make the world a more colourful place. This is something Taina and I have in common: We try to fill the world with more colour and cuteness found in our imagination. I knew Taina’s art on walls of the city before I finally met the girl behind it and long before we joined forces. If you remember the cover picture of 1999’s movie “American Beauty”, then you can imagine how our talk went: “You know, just like that, just a bath in Minukis instead of rose petals.” Roses have thorns, Minukis not, so its quite an upgrade.

And what was just a faint idea became real: On a foggy Saturday in Saint Gall, a bus full of Minukis arrived at the studio of photographer Daniela Bologna, maybe the happiest blue ocean ever. I just couldn’t wait for a second longer to jump into this pool full of cuteness as soon as the set was ready.

Minuki is proof that monsters don’t have to be frightening and nasty. They may look different to humans. They might have a big belly, but they don’t mean any harm but just want to cuddle. Like me, like you, like all of us (even the strange humans who would never agree). So if you are already frightened about all those Valentine’s Day ads, just like I: Maybe a Minuki can be your date this year? He is no drama, no fights and doesn’t cheat on you, blue love is powerful and true.

Minuki is designed by Taina and can be bought at Unuh

Frida Kahlo has landed in Zurich with a fabulous immersive experience at the new MAAG Light Hall. This world premiere brings the powerful work of the Mexican artist to Switzerland, presented using high-performance video projection and light acoustic effects.

Since I was a teenager I was fascinated by Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) and her surrealistic art. For me, Frida is an immense source of inspiration with her self-portraits and as well a symbol of resilience. Her life was not easy, being in constant pain after a terrible bus accident when she was 18 and giving her heart to a man which whom she had a very turbulent relationship didn’t make it any easier.

But despite all the pain, grief and sadness she experienced, she didn’t stop to create and paint, the opposite: She made suffering an art. Very often Frida even painted in bed and her work became a kind of medicine. The total of her paintings is 144 and 55 of them are self-portraits.

During her lifetime she was in the shadow of her artist husband Diego Riviera, although Frida claimed in her diary that she never could have endured her painful existence without his love, he was in a certain sense the second tragic accident in her life. He had numerous affairs, even one with Frida’s sister and the Stern magazine describes their marriage as an “unholy symbiosis between an elephant and a dove”. Besides art, they also shared a passion for communism and an unhealthy lifestyle with alcohol and drug abuse.

It wasn’t until one year before her death, that Frida had her first and only solo exhibition. However, by the time it happened she was already so sick that she had to be carried in her bed to the opening. Frida became only after her death the most well known Latin American painter and an icon of the feminist movement. The Hollywood movie about Frida’s life starring Salma Hayek in the main role in 2002 gave Frida’s popularity another boost.

I couldn’t have been happier when I heard that The MAAG Light Hall would be showing Frida Kahlo’s work as an immersive experience. This venue is Switzerland’s first permanent museum to show only immersive exhibitions. Frida is the first artist they show and I was not disappointed at all. The opening was a blast with Mariachi music, drinks but mostly: A journey into the exotic world of my beloved Frida full of colours and strong symbolism. I can truly recommend this exhibition and I am curious myself which other outstanding artists will be shown at the MAAG Light Hall in the future.

The exhibition is on from now till 2.1.2022 at MAAG Light Hall in Zurich.
