ISSUE FW’26
In our new FW’26 issue, we take you to the south of France and to Renée and Jan’s wedding, which was a celebration of love, friendship and style. We also sit down with Louis Abel founder Jimmy Loutfi for an in-depth interview about how his own wedding rings marked the start of a new chapter in fine jewellery, and look ahead to New York Bridal Fashion Week for the silhouettes, details and ideas that will set the tone for the coming season.
Valerie Aflalo – On weddings, fashion & having the courage to follow your gut
Podcast

In this week’s episode, Johannes is joined by Valerie Aflalo – the designer, entrepreneur and former Miss Sweden who has embarked on an inspiring journey from the world of fashion to jewellery design, sustainable living and TV production.
Valerie recounts with warmth and humour the unglamorous proposal on the sofa whilst she was pregnant, how her husband had to ‘redo the proposal’ – and how their dream castle wedding eventually turned out exactly as they’d imagined. We also hear how her passion for design, creativity and wellbeing has led to new projects – from jewellery in gold and gemstones to her programme *The French Food Journey*.
This is a conversation brimming with wedding inspiration, a zest for life and wise insights into love, balance and having the courage to follow your dreams.
