Widely regarded as one of the most architecturally important cities in Europe, Barcelona has a relationship with beautiful design that stretches back for centuries. Its array of gothic masterpieces – such as the breathtaking church of Santa María del Mar – is complemented by a fantastical collection of Modernista (Catalan art nouveau) buildings, including Domènech
i Montaner’s Palau de la Música Catalana and Antoni Gaudí’s Casa Batlló, La Pedrera and unfnished cathedral, La Sagrada Família. The city’s distinctive aesthetic is a defnite infuence on its inhabitants’ view on design in everything from clothing to homeware.

local fashion fans keen to keep the treasure trove of up-and-coming independent Barcelona-based designers to themselves. Two of the most prominent of these are Alejandra Anglada, whose draped and structured creations are immediately reminiscent of the city’s architecture, and Elena Gallego, who recently impressed at Valencia Fashion Week with a collection of asymmetrical laid-back tailoring in a palette of Mediterranean-inspired brights. Another designer fnding popularity with the city’s fashionable residents is Krizia Robustella, who runs her own shop – KR Store, in the Barri Gòtic area – as well as showing at Barcelona Fashion Week. Her latest ofering, the Hot Snow Patrol, takes inspiration from winter sports; however, the collection’s pastels and brights featured across geometric landscape and skyline graphics are undeniably Barcelonian.

Maya and Tiyi del Barrio, is one; best known for its range of Neon Lights, it’s a perfect example of witty Spanish innovation resulting in inspired design. One of the city’s greatest success stories, though, has to be Josep Abril. The Barcelona-born designer, a graduate of the city’s Escola d’Arts i Tècniques de la Moda (EATM), won the frst Gaudí Prize for new designers in 1991 before going on to create his eponymous label in 1996. Since then Abril has been clothing some of the best-dressed men in Spain, winning the GQ award for best menswear design in 2004. Abril has his own theories about how Barcelona’s residents have been infuenced by the city Above: Josep Abril autumn/winter 2014/15
itself, and also by those who call it home. ‘I see Barcelona as a cradle of diferent cultures, maybe because the people of Barcelona are well travelled; we come back full of varied styles, or perhaps because many people from other countries come here to make it their home.’ Abril’s work is all about modern simplicity, with subtle details hinting at a more expressive creative process, a marriage of functionality and abstract expressionism, something he attributes to the two major infuences from his home town. ‘The most obvious are from two contrasting places; on the one hand, there is the post art nouveau, avant-garde rationalism which has made us more pragmatic, minimalist and focused on the essentials; on the other hand, the reminders of our history have given us a warmth and sensitivity.’ It may be the city’s artistic heritage and rationalism that infuence Abril’s work, but it’s Barcelona’s atmosphere that has kept him here. ‘At frst, I thought that it would be better to leave and go to another city such as Paris or Milan, where it is much easier to work as a fashion designer, but the playful, Mediterranean spirit of Barcelona made me stay in the end.’ Whether it’s thanks to the intellectual landscape, the Mediterranean sun and beaches, or the varied architectural history, the people of Barcelona have a style as unique as that of their city theboxshopbcn.blogspot.com, kriziarobustella.com, lacomercial.info, josepabril.com

Barcelona has a wildly varied nightlife; venues range from chic cocktail bars and bohemian cafébars to outdoor dance parties and cool underground clubs. Whatever you’re looking for from a night out, you are sure to fnd it in Barcelona with must-visit bars and clubs in every major district of the city. evenings begin for many with a promenade between 8pm and 9pm followed by a post-dinner surge from 11pm to midnight; most bars stay open until at least 2am and sometimes later. globalblue.com
eating and drinking go hand in hand in the majority of Barcelona’s bars and some of the liveliest serve as many tapas as they do alcohol; expect many menus to tailor drinks options to the food available. even so, Catalan wines are among Spain’s best and the region’s southerly Penedès area is known for its high-quality sparkling cava. Be sure to try the local version of the Spanish wine punch sangria, made with cava instead of the more usual red wine, which is particularly refreshing on warm days.

Барселонский секрет привлекательности
PHOTO: EsTrOP BarcElOna
Руарид Притчард рассказывает о влиянии особого барселонского духа на новое поколение дизайнеров и владельцев бутиков
globalblue.com
Архитектурное богатство Барселоны считается одним из самых значительных в Европе. На протяжении многих веков здесь уделяли особое внимание дизайну и красоте внешнего облика. Многочисленные готические шедевры, как, например, великолепная церковь Санта-Мария-дель-Мар, соседствуют с представителями каталонского модернизма: Дворцом каталонской музыки, построенным по проекту Луиса Доменек-и-Монтанера, и творениями Гауди - дворцами Casa Batlló и La Pedrera и, конечно, неоконченным собором Sagrada Família. Неповторимая эстетика этого города, определенно, влияет на отношение ее обитателей к дизайну в целом – от одежды до интерьера. Стиль Барселоны проявляется в сочетании классического средиземноморского шика, обогащенного модернистским экспрессионизмом, с легким пренебрежением по отношению к модным нормам. Столь избирательный подход вылился в появление самых стильных в Испании мультибрендовых бутиков и винтажных магазинов, которые главным образом сосредоточены в Готическом квартале и в районе El Born. Te Box – как раз один
из таких. Минимализм пространства, оформленного в индустриальном стиле, задают голые бетонные полы и белые стены. Этот магазин можно назвать маленькой тайной местных поклонников моды, которые берегут свою сокровищницу, полную разработок молодых независимых дизайнеров. Отдельного упоминания заслуживают Алехандра Англада и Елена Гальего. Структурные модели с обильной драпировкой, которые создает Алехандра Англада, ассоциируются с архитектурным своеобразием Барселоны. В свою очередь, асимметричная расслабленная одежда ярких средиземноморских оттенков принесла Елене Гальего успех на Валенсийской неделе моды. Дизайнер Кризия Робустелла стремительно обретает популярность в городских модных кругах. Свои коллекции она представляет в собственном бутике KR Store и на Барселонской неделе моды. Источником вдохновения для новой серии Hot Snow Patrol послужили зимние виды спорта. Модели пастельных и ярких оттенков украшены принтами с геометрическими фигурами и графичными силуэтами города – и это выдает в них истинно барселонский стиль. La Commercial относится к сегменту роскошных бутиков. Его ассортимент составляет globalblue.com

одежда и аксессуары для мужчин и женщин от таких марок, как Kenzo, Missoni и Comme des Garçons, а также достойные пристального внимания местные бренды домашней утвари. Марка Maná Maná, основанная сестрами Майей и Тийей дель Баррио, – из их числа, а линия Neon Lights прекрасно иллюстрирует своеобразный современный испанский дизайн. Творческий путь дизайнера áозе Абриля – просто образцовая истории барселонского успеха. Он родился в Барселоне, окончил школу Escola d’Arts i Tècniques de la Moda (EATM), получил главную награду для молодых дизайнеров Gaudí Prize в 1991 году, а в 1996 открыл
81
собственный лейбл. è тех пор он создает коллекции для самых стильных мужчин в Испании, о чем свидетельствует премия GQ 2004 года – ее вручают лучшему дизайнеру мужской одежды. У Абриля есть собственная теория о влиянии Барселоны на ее обитателей: «Я воспринимаю Барселону как плавильный котел самых разных культур. Возможно, потому что мы много путешествуем и привозим обратно тысячи идей. А может быть, потому что многие люди из других стран выбирают именно наш город в качестве своего второго дома». Произведения Абриля воплощают современную простоту, причем изысканные и лаконичные детали как бы намекают, что за ними стоит бурный творческий процесс. Подобное сочетание функциональности с абстрактным экспрессионизмом он связывает с двумя крупнейшими влияниями, характерными для Барселоны: «Наши самые заметные тренды – полные противоположности друг другу: с одной стороны, это ар-нуво нового времени – такой авангардный рационализм с его прагматизмом, минимализмом и сосредоточенностью на главном. А с другой - напоминание о нашей разнообразной истории, которое обращает нас к домашнему теплу и чувствительности». Возможно, художественное
наследие и рационализм и оказывают решающее влияние на творчество Абриля, но именно особая атмосфера города заставляет его оставаться: «Поначалу я думал, что с удовольствием перееду в другой город – например, в Париж или Милан, где гораздо легче заниматься модным дизайном. Но насыщенный средиземноморский дух Барселоны убедил меня остаться». Невозможно точно сказать, откуда этот дух берется – из активной интеллектуальной жизни, средиземноморского солнца и пляжей или разнообразной архитектурной истории. Но совершенно очевидно, что стиль обитателей Барселоны настолько же неповторим и узнаваем, как и сам город. theboxshopbcn.blogspot.com, kriziarobustella.com, lacomercial.info, josepabril.com 75: When You Shop The World, Shop Tax Free

外。巴塞罗那的风格中融合了经典的 地中海风情，又夹杂了些许现代表现 主义的特征，以及一丝对时尚界因循 守旧做派的微妙蔑视。正是得益于这 种对个性化风格与时尚的独到认知， 巴塞罗那坐拥许多西班牙最好的多品 牌精品店和百年老店，它们大多集中在 哥特区（Barri Gòtic）和波恩区（El Born）。 波恩区的 The Box 便是一例。这 是一个极具极简主义风格与工业化气 息的空间，店内有着不加修饰的混凝 土地板和白色的墙壁。当地有许多时 尚达人热衷于收藏巴塞罗那新生代独 立设计师们的杰作珍宝，而这间店铺 则是他们共同的秘密。在这些新兴设 计师中有两位最引人瞩目的人物，其一 是Alejandra Anglada，她的作品以垂
褶形状和精妙结构著称，让人一见之 下即能联想起巴塞罗那城中的建筑； 另一位则是 Elena Gallego，前不久此 君便以一系列地中海式鲜艳配色的非 对称休闲时装在瓦伦西亚时装周上大 放异彩。 另一位深受这座城市的时尚市民 青睐的设计师是Krizia Robustella， 她在哥特区有一间自己的时装精品店 KR Store，该品牌也曾亮相于巴塞罗 那时装周。她的最新产品“热雪巡游” （Hot Snow Patrol）系列灵感源于 冬季运动；然而，整个系列的几何图形 和天际线图案采用了丰富的蜡笔元素 和明亮配色，体现了鲜明的巴塞罗那 风格。 在巴塞罗那的众多精品店中，L a Commercial则相对更为奢华富丽。该
84 精品店销售男装、女装、配饰以及家居 用品，经营高田贤三（Kenzo）、米索尼 （Missoni）和川久保玲等众多国际品 牌和些许值得关注的本土家居品牌。 由Maya del Barrio和Tiyi del Barrio 两姐妹创办的Maná Maná 就是其中 之一；该品牌因旗下的Neon Lights系 列而颇具盛名，它是妙趣横生的西班 牙创意衍生杰出设计的完美范例。 然而，要数城内最为成功的品牌故 事，则非Josep Abril莫属。Abril出生 于意大利，毕业于巴塞罗那服装设计 与时尚学院（EATM），于1991年获 得高蒂服装设计大奖新锐设计师第一 名，并于1996 年创办了自己的同名品 牌。而后，Abril为西班牙最具穿衣品 味的绅士量体裁衣，并在2004年获得 了GQ最佳男装设计奖。 对于巴塞罗那市民是如何被这座 他们称之为家的城市所影响的，Abril 有自己的看法。 “在我看来，巴塞罗那 是不同文化的摇篮，可能是由于巴塞罗 那人的游历都很丰富，我们带着各种不 同的风格回到巴塞罗那；抑或是因为 有许多外国人来到巴塞罗那定居。” Abril的作品充斥着前卫大胆的简 约风格，而其作品中诸多微妙的细节 则暗示了一个更具表现力的创意过程， 表现了实用功能和抽象表现主义的完 美结合，Abril则将此归因为家乡对他 的两个重大影响。 “最明显的两个影响 却有着鲜明的对比。一方面，后新艺术 主义和先锋派理性主义让我更为务实 简约、专注要点；而另一方面，这座城 市的历史赋予了我们温暖和感性。” 或许影响Abril作品的是这座城市 的艺术遗产和理性主义，然而让他选 择留在这里的，则是巴塞罗那的独特 氛围。 “起初，我认为离开这座城市、去 巴黎或者米兰更好，因为那里非常适合 时装设计师。但最后，巴塞罗那奇趣横 生的地中海精神让我留了下来。” 无论是由于巴塞罗那令人赞叹的 精神世界、地中海的阳光和海滩还是 globalblue.com
丰富多彩的建筑历史，居住在这里的 人们都和他们的城市一样，有着属于自 己的独特风格。 theboxshopbcn.blogspot.com, kriziarobustella.com, lacomercial.info, josepabril.com

40: The Art Of The Nouveau ヌーヴォーの達人たち バルセロナの文化的風土と風景に触 発されて新たに頭角を現したエキサイ ティングなデザイナーやブティック店 主を、ルーリー・プリチャードが発見 した。 建築の世界でヨーロッパ有数の都市 として広く知られるバルセロナ。この街 と美しいデザインの関係は、数世紀を
遡る。サンタ・マリア・ダル・マル教会 などゴシック建築の傑作の数々と、ド メネク・イ・ムンタネーによるカタルー ニャ音楽堂やアントニ・ガウディによる カサ・バトリョ、ラ・ペドレラ（カサ・ミ ラ）、未完の大聖堂サグラダ・ファミリ アといった奇想天外なモデルニスタ（ カタルーニャ版アールヌーボー）建築 が互いを引き立て合っている。 この街独特の美感が、衣服から 家庭用品まであらゆるもののデザイン に対する住民の意識に間違いなく影 響を与えている。バルセロナのスタイ ルは、古典的な地中海シックにモデル
86 ニスタ表現主義的なちょっとした味付 け、ファッション規範に従うことへの 秘かな反抗を表したミックススタイル だ。こうしたユニークな個性観やファ ッション観のおかげで、バルセロナは スペイン有数のクールなマルチブラン ドブティックやヴィンテージショップを 擁するようになった。そうした店舗の 多くは、ゴシック地区とエル・ボルンに 集中している。 エル・ボルンにあるザ・ボックス （The Box）がその一つだ。むき出し のコンクリート床に白壁のミニマルで 工業的な雰囲気のスペースで、バルセ ロナ出身の独立系新進デザイナーの 作品が豊富な同店を自分たちの秘密 にしておきたい地元ファッションファ ンの穴場となっている。そうした地元 デザイナーの中でも有名なのが、ドレ ープの入ったデザインや構造的な作品 が一目でこの街の建築物を思い起こ させるアレハンドラ・アングラーダと、 最近のヴァレンシア・ファッションウィ ークで地中海から発想を得た明るい 色彩を使い非対称のゆったりした仕 立てのコレクションを披露して好評を 得たエレナ・ガジェゴの二人。 そしてもう一人、ファッショナブル なバルセロナっ子の間で人気上昇中 なのが、ゴシック地区に自店KRストア （KR Store）を構え、バルセロナ・フ ァッションウィークにも出展したクリツ ィア・ロブステリャだ。彼女の最新コレ クション「ホット・スノー・パトロール」 はウィンタースポーツにヒントを得てい るが、幾何学的な風景やスカイライン の図柄にパステルカラーや明色を一 貫して使った点がいかにもバルセロナ 的だ。 バルセロナのブティックの中で比 較的高級な部類に入るのが、ラ・コメ ルシアル。ケンゾー、ミッソーニ、コム・ デ・ギャルソンといった国際レーベル のメンズウェア、ウーマンズウェア、ア globalblue.com
クセサリー、家庭用品を揃えるこの店 は、注目に値する地元の家庭用品ブ ランドもいくつか置いている。マヤとテ ィイのデル・バリオ姉妹が創設したマ ナ・マナもその一つ。ネオンライトのシ リーズで知られるこのブランドは、ウィ ットに富んだ革新的なアイデアを形に したデザインの好例だ。 だが、バルセロナきってのサクセ スストーリーと言えば、やはりジョセッ プ・アブリルだろう。バルセロナ生ま れで同市のファッション芸術技術学院 （Escola d ’Arts i Tècniques de la Moda、略称 EATM ）の卒業生であ る彼は、新人デザイナーに与えられる ガウディ賞の初代受賞者（1991年） で、その後、1996 年に自身の名を冠 したレーベルを創設した。以来、ジ ョセップ・アブリルはスペインを代表 する伊達男たちがまとうブランドとな り、2004 年にはGQ誌のベスト・メン ズウェアデザイン賞を受賞している。 バルセロナの住人がこの都市自 体やここを故郷と呼ぶ者の影響をい かに受けてきたかについて、アブリル には自説がある。 「僕はバルセロナを 様々な文化を育むゆりかごだと思って います。それはたぶん、バルセロナ人 の旅行経験が豊富であちこちから異 なるスタイルをふんだんに持ち帰って くるから。あるいは、他国から多くの人 々がやってきて、ここに住み着くから かもしれません。」 アブリルの作品は「モダンでシン プル」が持ち味で、創造的な表現のプ ロセスが微妙なディテールにそれとな く表れている。機能性と抽象的表現 主義を融合したデザインは、本人によ れば、生まれ育ったバルセロナの二大 特徴に影響されているという。 「まず 明らかなのは相対する二つの立場で す。一方にポスト・アールヌーボーの前 衛的合理主義があり、実際的でミニ マリスティックで必須要素に注力する
