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.

Emotions drift like autumn leaves,
whispering secrets to the breeze.
They knock, they dance, they fade away,
never meant to truly stay.

Joy arrives with golden light,
laughing, warm, and feather-light.
Then sorrow creeps through midnight doors,
weeping waves upon our shores.

Anger flares, a fleeting spark,
burning bright but never stark.
Love, though, hums a deeper tune,
a steady glow beneath the moon.

A heart may quake, a mind may roam,
yet bonds we forge become our home.
So let the tempests rise and cease—
connection stays, the soul’s own peace.

In the heart of Zurich, where forgotten fabrics whisper tales of yesterday, Rachelle Nkou’s INSIDE – upcycling couture breathes new life into the discarded. 

From vintage finds and deadstock treasures, she crafts unique pieces, transforming what once was lost into wearable art.

Green isn’t just a color for me—it’s an emotion. It’s the reassurance that no matter what happens, life continues to grow. It’s the vibrant reminder to be bold and unafraid, to stand tall like a tree in a storm and dance like leaves in the wind.

When I look at the green ELHO jacket hanging in my wardrobe, I think about the little girl surrounded by grass and flowers, dreaming of what she could become. I think of Kermit and his wise little tune about the challenges and joys of being yourself. I think of the endless ways green has brought me comfort, confidence, and creativity.

Life feels a little brighter, a little livelier, when you let green in. It’s the color of possibility, of adventure, and of saying, “Why blend in when you can grow out?” So, whether it’s through the lush landscapes of your memories, a bold fashion statement, or even just a delicious bowl of matcha, let green remind you of your own power to thrive and shine.

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.

There’s something profoundly symbolic about the act of wrapping oneself in a winter jacket—a ritual of protection, a moment of seeking solace against the elements. 

My blue ELHO Freestyle winter jacket is more than just a garment; it is a shield, a cocoon, a reminder of the delicate balance between vulnerability and resilience.

In winter, when the world feels stark and exposed, warmth becomes a sanctuary. This jacket, with its tailored design and striking blue, is a physical manifestation of care—care for the body, care for the spirit. It protects me not only from the cold winds that bite at my skin but also from the sense of fragility that can come with the season. With every zip and snap, I am enveloped in a promise: You are safe. You are held.

Blue, the colour of open skies and deep waters, feels like the perfect tone for this journey. It carries a quiet strength, a calm that speaks of depth and endurance. When I wear this coat, I’m reminded that warmth is not just a physical state—it’s an emotional one. It’s the comfort of knowing I am equipped for whatever the day holds, a reminder that I carry my own strength and security wherever I go.

How we choose to protect ourselves—through layers of fabric or layers of self-love—becomes a reflection of how we value our well-being. This winter, as I stride forward into the crisp air, protected and ready to embrace all that the world has to offer.

This look is not just skiwear; it’s a statement, a celebration, a fierce declaration of artistic rebellion—and yes, it’s straight from the slopes to the city streets!

I’m wrapped in ELHO Freestyle’s first art capsule collection, and let me tell you, it’s no ordinary collection. This is where high-performance skiwear meets the unapologetic creativity of Jean-Michel Basquiat, the artist who shattered the boundaries of art and culture.

When I say I feel like a rebel, I mean it. Basquiat was never one to play by the rules. His work was loud, raw, and utterly captivating, shouting his truth to the world in wild colors and bold strokes. Elho, too, doesn’t create just to fit in; they craft skiwear that feels at home in nature’s extremes and just as at ease downtown. And here I am, happily in the middle of it all—artist, model, designer, content creator, and yes, a rebel in my own right. Just like Basquiat, Elho, and I, this look is the perfect misfit, daring anyone who crosses my path to look closer, to step out of their comfort zones, to see fashion as both function and art.

A Look as Bold as the Brushstrokes

As soon as I slipped into this outfit, I could feel Basquiat’s fearless energy; it’s as though he left a piece of his spirit in each brushstroke. The bright splashes of color, the jagged edges, the chaotic compositions—it all brings his art to life with a magnetic intensity. This is not fashion for the faint-hearted; it’s for the adventurer, the dreamer, the person who dares to ski down a mountain like it’s their very own runway!

Style for the Slopes…and the Streets

Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Sara, skiwear in the city?” Absolutely! This collection has a versatility that’s hard to resist. The pieces transition effortlessly from the wild outdoors to the concrete jungle, transforming every sidewalk into a gallery and every snowy peak into an art installation. The way I see it, if you’re going to brave the elements, why not do it with a touch of Basquiat’s raw, revolutionary spirit? There’s something undeniably thrilling about bringing this avant-garde aesthetic into unexpected spaces, as though Basquiat’s art itself is coming to life in new and unexpected ways.

And for all my colorful, quirky rebels out there, this collection is a reminder that life is too short for the mundane. Step out, embrace the art, and make a statement—whether it’s on the powdery slopes or on the bustling streets. Let Basquiat’s legacy live on in every wild choice we make. Here’s to all of us rebels, painting our own paths with every look we wear and every daring step we take.

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.

Cute and kawaii things in bright, pastel colours have a unique way of bringing comfort, reminding us of childhood dreams and an innocent world filled with joy. Playful designs capture a sense of pure happiness and simplicity. They transport us to a time when life was carefree, and the biggest worry was deciding what game to play next.

Bright colours such as soft pinks, mint greens, and light blues evoke nostalgia, making us think of childhood memories and the excitement of discovering new adventures. These shades bring warmth and lightness, creating a calm, comforting atmosphere in our busy adult lives. They also serve as little reminders to find joy in the everyday.

In a world that can often feel overwhelming, cute things and kawaii culture offer a much-needed escape. Cute characters and joyful smiley faces like Taina’s cats are like little beacons of positivity, communicating warmth and kindness without words. These adorable expressions lift our spirits, providing a much-needed break from the stress of our day and rejuvenating us for the challenges ahead.

Ultimately, the comfort of cute and kawaii things lies in their ability to connect us to a simpler time. They remind us of the beauty in small moments and offer a retreat from the world’s complexities. In their bright colours and cheerful designs, we find a comforting return to a world filled with smiles, fun, and endless possibilities.

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!
