ARTHOUSE PRADA After last season’s riot of colour, Prada’s autumn/winter 2014/15 collection is a more sombre afair. This season Miuccia Prada has taken inspiration from the flms of arthouse director Rainer Werner Fassbinder, which translates into a collection where clever layering, as well as contrasting proportions and textures, plays a key part. Oversized shearlingtrimmed outerwear is juxtaposed with tightly wound neck scarves, body-skimming silk shifts and furry trimmed transparent slips. Art deco-inspired prints provide a welcome burst of colour and the slouchy, chevronstriped knits look set to be a cosy yet chic winter wardrobe staple. irs Prada, Königsallee 34A, 40212 Düsseldorf, +49 (0)211 865780, prada.com * for map go to page 70

The autumn/winter menswear collection from German fashion house Jil Sander remains true to the brand’s distinctive clean lines, sharp tailoring and minimalist aesthetics; high-sheen quilted fabrics in striking shades of deep plum and midnight blue provide slick options for winter suiting. Jacket designs cover a range of cuts and lengths, while slim-ft knitwear in place of shirting keeps the overall look modern, adding a relaxed and wearable edge to this elegant attire. Visitors to the store on Königsallee can also browse the label’s womenswear collection, which eschews the moody shades so often chosen for autumn/winter in favour of a palette of icy blues and the occasional pop of pastel pink or purple. Pastels for winter may not be a new idea, but in the pared-back and easy silhouette of Jil Sander they seem fresh and perfectly right for now. gl Jil Sander, Königsallee 62, 40212 Düsseldorf, +49 (0)211 328444, jilsander.com * for map go to page 70

regeneration projects such as the MedienHafen (Media Harbour) and RheinTurm by Frank O Gehry and David Chipperfeld are helping to redefne the city. ‘Although the city is celebrating the 725th anniversary of its founding, Düsseldorf’s real draws are to be found in its dozens of new developments,’ journalist Evan Rail commented in the New York Times, pointing out the city’s stylish contemporary architecture, cutting-edge restaurants and new takes on traditional beer. ‘It’s not really a beauty-on-every-corner kind of place, but more of a hidden gems kind of city,’ explains David Dorfmueller, an American who started writing about Düsseldorf when he moved there in 2013. Among these ‘gems’ is Trödelmarkt Aachener Platz, a weekly fea market in Bilk, full of brica-brac, antiques and food stalls where visitors can enjoy a bratwurst and a cup of cofee. ‘There’s something very German about going to a market on Saturday,’ says Dorfmueller.

ermany’s cities are among the leading places in the world for modern retail, with stunning glass shopping centres ofering the latest fashion designs. But the country is also rightly famous for its traditional winter markets, which have been providing seasonal delights for centuries – it is thought that the frst market was held in Saxony in the 1300s. Modern Berlin, with its cutting-edge credentials, turns into a winter wonderland towards the end of the year, with an impressive selection of markets. Some, such as those at Gendarmenmarkt and Potsdamer Platz, are situated in key shopping areas while others are more intimate and focus on handicrafts and home-made food. The charming Nostalgischer Weihnachsmarkt (Nostalgic Christmas Market) at the Opernpalais boasts a range of pretty craft items, from cosy scarves to painted baubles and other decorations, while brandy punch and roasted almonds will help keep visitors warm.

A short distance from the centre of the city, a similarly welcoming atmosphere can be experienced at the Aventsökomarkt (Advent Eco Market) at Kollwitzplatz in Prenzlauer Berg. From huts illuminated with fairy lights, a wide range of goods can be selected including gingerbread and seasonal decorations. As carolers sing, and perhaps as snow dusts the stalls’ roofs, enjoy a cup of hot rum and a baked apple with vanilla sauce. A dash of Scandinavian culture comes to Berlin at the charming Lucia Weihnachtsmarkt

Behind the city wall is the Handwerkerhof (Craftsmen’s Courtyard), where visitors can watch artisans at work in their timber houses, whether creating stunning glass items or making intricate metalwork. Stay warm with a cup of hot chocolate from the Schoggladn Hoisla (Chocolate House) in the courtyard, and before you leave, look out for the zwetschgenmännla. Dating back to the 18th century, these fgurines are skilfully made from wire covered with (rather unusually) prunes and walnuts, which are then painted by hand.

Table Talk From classic French cuisine to beach-inspired seafood, there is a restaurant in Düsseldorf to suit every taste. Isabella Redmond Styles explores a selection of the city’s best

German national cuisine has always been rich with variations and contrast, with each district boasting its own specialities. Foods that are shared by all regions, such as sauerkraut, are prepared and cooked diferently throughout the country, while the south-west is infuenced by French cuisine. Even so, traditional German cuisine is characterised by its heartiness, with an emphasis on meat and potatoes, partly because of Germany’s relatively northern location. In recent years there has also been a growing interest in organic food. An international centre for business with a fast-paced lifestyle, cosmopolitan Düsseldorf ofers an array of standout restaurants. From French-inspired fne dining in Michelin-starred restaurants to fresh seafood in stylish eateries, there are dishes to suit every taste. Despite this diversity, Düsseldorf’s traditional cuisine refects classic German gastronomy. Typical fare includes sauerbraten, a pickled roast beef with stewed apples that is usually marinated in vinegar and other spices before serving, halver hahn, combining dark rye bread, cheese and mustard, and fonz met olk, black pudding with onion rings. globalblue.com

There are few better ways to spend a cold winter day than tucked up inside, admiring world-class works of art. Düsseldorf’s Kunstpalast is home to more than a few masterpieces, from medieval sculpture to contemporary photography, and the gallery also regularly hosts an impressive range of high-calibre temporary exhibitions. look out for the Hentrich Glass Collection, which is said to be the most comprehensive glass collection in europe as well as an exhibit by colour specialist Katharina Grosse.

Visit Düsseldorf’s Carlstadt district to discover the city’s fnest galleries and antique shops. Set to the south of Düsseldorf’s historic Altstadt (Old Town), the area is defned by its elegant stately residences which have remained unchanged since the 18th century, while the vibrant Carlsplatz food market offers a delightful contrast to the more refned attractions. A former farmers’ market, Carlsplatz now attracts the city’s gourmet enthusiasts thanks to its rich variety of stalls and high-quality produce. The market is open every day of the week, except Sunday, which is the perfect day to visit the area’s popular bistros and coffee shops instead.

Дюссельдорф изнутри Бет Дрюс рассказывает об авторских бутиках, необычных кафе и других интересных заведениях Дюссельдорфа Софа с подушками из старых мешков из-под муки, настольные лампы из фехтовальных масок и покрытые кожей столы из деревянных козел – все эти дизайнерские решения Уве ван Афферден выставляет в своем собственном бутике на Lorettostrasse. Помимо них, владелец собирает для ассортимента лучшие разработки избранных брендов – Le Labo, Percival, Monitaly, Tanner Goods и других. Он выбрал идеальное место для своего магазина: район Unterbilk считается самым стильным и динамичным в Дюссельдорфе. Дюссельдорф всегда ассоциировался с красивой архитектурой и насыщенной культурной жизнью. Однако в последнее время на этот город стали смотреть под новым углом. Он приобрел славу активного центра современной жизни, и это отразилось на его облике: разнообразные стили теперь образуют архитектурную эклектику. Столь стремительным изменениям способствуют авангардные проекты – в частности, MedienHafen («Медиагавань») Франка Гери и Давида Чипперфильда. «Со дня основания Дюссельдорфа прошло уже 725 лет. Однако истинную причину его очарования лучше искать не в истории, а в многочисленных новых зданиях», - считает американский журналист Эван Рейл в New York Times. Среди достоинств города он особенно отмечает стильную новую архитектуру, современные рестораны и актуальный взгляд на пивные традиции Германии. «Конечно, этот город не из тех, где красота повсюду. Но здесь куда более значительную роль играют скрытые от globalblue.com

посторонних глаз сокровища», - объясняет американец Давид Дорфмюллер, который переехал в Дюссельдорф и начал писать о нем в 2013 году. Среди таких «сокровищ» еженедельный блошиный рынок Trödelmarkt Aachener Platz в районе Bilk. Лавочки и прилавки наполнены старинными вещицами и антиквариатом, а посетители прогуливаются между ними и наслаждаются неизменной сосиской bratwurst и чашкой кофе. «Есть что-то типично немецкое в том, чтобы в субботу бродить по рынку», - пишет Дорфмюллер. Магазин Vaseline на Wallstrasse наглядно демонстрирует, как призрачна граница между хорошим и необычным вкусом. На его полках - винтажные предметы мебели, ювелирные украшения и старомодные безделушками, так что если вы ищите необычные сувениры – вам сюда. Его противоположность – Unterhaltang Lieblingsstücke в районе Flingern: в его ассортименте собраны стильные и современные предметы для домашнего обихода, дизайнерские канцтовары, детские книги, а также косметика и даже немного одежды. Если вы неравнодушны к хорошему кофе, обязательно побывайте в кофейне сети Woyton, их множество в Дюссельдорфе. Она дорожит своими верными поклонниками и репутацией, поэтому со вниманием относится к обжарке зерен и устойчивому, социально ответственному развитию. Самый востребованный способ приготовления напитка в Woyton – так называемый «пуровер», когда горячая вода наливается в чашку через фильтр со свежемолотым кофе и подается без молока. Для основательной трапезы в Дюссельдорфе также достаточно вариантов. В бистро Zicke на улице Bäckerstrasse практикуют современный подход к традиционной немецкой кухне. По выходным здесь устраивают бранчи в очаровательных интерьерах и

подают блинчики, баварские сосиски и традиционный континентальный завтрак с овощами. Мы также настоятельно рекомендуем суши-рестораны, особенно учитывая, что именно в Дюссельдорфе самое большое японское сообщество в Германии. В Старом городе множество уютных баров, где можно перевести дух между прогулками по старинным улочкам. Не забудьте попробовать местное янтарное пиво altbier: его варят как старинные заводы Zum Schlussel и Uerige, так и новая пивоварня Brauerei Kuzer, основанная в 2010 году. В Дюссельдорфе действительно есть, что посмотреть. И если вдруг кажется, что с первого взгляда любопытных мест не так много, то, как советует Рейл, «стоит отнестись к этому как к преимуществу». van-aferden.com, facebook.com/vaseline.duesseldorf, troedelmarkt-aachenerplatz.de, unterhaltung-lieblingsstuecke.de, woyton.de, bistro-zicke.de, duesseldorf-tourismus.de 50: Festive Fairs

Ярмарка радости Стивен Дойг рассказывает о рождественских ярмарках Германии, где можно познакомиться с европейскими традициями и порадовать себя очаровательными подарками и домашними сладостями Немецкие города занимают ведущие позиции на шоппинг-карте мира, благодаря многочисленным современным торговым центрам, где всегда найдутся модные новинки. Но больше всего путешественников притягивают традиционные рождественские рынки: считается, что они возникли в Саксонии в начале 14 века – и с тех пор это стало неотъемлемой частью европейских новогодних праздников. Динамичный Берлин, со всеми его модными заведениями, ближе к концу года в мгновение ока превращается в зимнюю романтичную сказку. Повсюду открываются

колоритные ярмарки: некоторые расположены в самом центре, например, на Gendarmenmarkt и Potsdamer Platz, а другие – в более укромных точках города. Но на каждой из них обязательно присутствуют традиционные ремесла и рождественские угощения. На очаровательном рынке Nostalgischer Weihnachsmarkt на площади Opernpalais в центре внимания ручное творчество мастеров – это и уютные шарфы, и расписные сувениры, и разнообразные декоративные вещицы. А горячий пунш на основе бренди и жареный миндаль прекрасно согревают в холодный сезон. Такое ощущение, будто лихорадочная жизнь современного Берлина на время остановилась, чтобы уступить место неспешной атмосфере зимнего праздника. äсли немного отойти от центра города в сторону района Пренцлауэр-Берг, то вы попадете на небольшую, но очень приятную ярмарку Aventsökomarkt на площади Kollwitzplatz. Можно бесконечно долго бродить среди лавочек, украшенных уютными огоньками, и рассматривать рождественские подарки – от пряников до праздничных украшений для дома. Подпевая рождественским песням и, если повезет, даже радуясь новогоднему снегу,

согревайтесь горячим ромом и запеченными яблоками в ванильной глазури. Дух Скандинавии привносит в мультикультурный Берлин очаровательный рынок Lucia Weihnachtsmarkt, который также располагается в ПренцлауэрБерге. Он получил свое название в честь северной богини света, а на его прилавках – скандинавские и немецкие продукты, напитки и сувениры. Каждый год около двух миллионов человек устремляется на Нюрнбергский рождественский рынок, который проводится на одном и то же месте с начала 17 века. Шумное веселье разворачивается в аутентичных декорациях – на центральной площади Старого города, у подножия церкви Frauenkirche, которая по такому случаю украшена огнями. Каждый год торжества начинаются со зрелищной церемонии с участием трубачей и рождественского хора. С самого начала у этой ярмарки появился собственный символ – ангел с золотыми крыльями, и практически в каждой лавке можно приобрести такую маленькую фигурку на память. Рядом со стеной Старого города располагается подворье Handwerkerhof, где мастера встречают гостей в своих стилизованных деревянных домах и продают композиции из стекла, изысканные кованые произведения из металла и другие образцы народных ремесел. Обсудить увиденное будет особенно приятно за чашкой горячего шоколада в Schoggladn Hoisla. В качестве десерта рекомендуем zwetschgenmännla – оригинальные, расписанные вручную фигурки из чернослива и грецких орехов на каркасе из проволоки, которые стали местной традицией в 18 веке. В Дюссельдорфе, деловом центре Германии, также проводится свой зимний рынок. Вдоль Schadowstrasse выстраиваются празднично украшенные прилавки, на которых можно найти и деревянные фигурки ручной работы, и миниатюрные домики, и другие ремесленные поделки. На Angel’s Market в Старом городе globalblue.com

располагаются лавки в стиле ар-нуво, где продают красивые спиральные восковые свечи, елочные игрушки и венки из остролиста и сосны, переплетенные красными лентами. Даже если вы всегда относились к новогодним праздникам с изрядной долей иронии, уверены, вы не сможете устоять перед очарованием рождественских рынков Берлина, Дюссельдорфа и Нюрнберга. visitberlin.de, tourismus.nuernberg.de, duesseldorf-tourismus.de 80: When You Shop The World, Shop Tax Free

入乡随俗

杜塞尔多夫城中散落着许多隐秘的珍宝，从独此一家的店铺到意外美妙的餐馆，Beth Druce带您发掘置身于Lorettostrasse街上的Uwe van Aferden精品店，您会见到以填充后的面粉包装袋为靠垫的沙发，使用击剑面罩制成的桌灯与皮革覆面的隔板桌。这里除了展示van Aferden自己的作品，还出售一系列经过仔细挑选的品牌，包括Le Labo, Percival, Monitaly与Tanner Goods。该店拥有完美的地理位置，其所在的Unterbilk是一片酷感十足的奇趣街区。提到杜塞尔多夫，首先联想到的就是其令人印象深刻的建筑，与引人入胜的文化气息，然而如今它已被重新定义，成为一座有着活力满满的热闹氛围，并海纳百川、兼容并蓄的城市。城中引人瞩目的改造

项目，包括由Frank Gehry与David Chipperfeld 联手打造的 MedienHafen（媒体港），正在重新定义这座城市。 “虽然杜塞尔多夫已经迎来了自己成立 725周年的庆典，但这座城市的真实魅力体现于不计其数的新发展中。”记者Evan Rail在纽约时报上评论，并报道了城中摩登时尚的建筑，顶尖的餐馆与对传统啤酒的改造。 “这并不是一个街角巷尾美丽随处可见的地方，而是一座隐藏着诸多宝石的城市， ”David Dorfmueller解释，这个美国人从2013年移居杜塞尔多夫之后开始书写这座城市。珍宝之一是 Aachener Platz的Trödelmarkt，一个在Bilk地区每周举行的跳蚤市场，玲琅满目的装饰品、古董与大排档齐聚在此，让游客们可在此尽享香肠与咖啡的美味。 “在周六去逛市场是一种非常德国式的习惯， ”Dorfmueller表示。在Wallstraße街上的Vaseline，美味与非传统口味之间的界限已然模糊。这座摩登版本的老古玩店有着古董内饰、珠宝与壁纸以及复古风货架；这是挑选一件不同寻常的纪念品的绝佳之地。与之形成鲜明对比的是Flingern区的Unterhaltang Lieblingsstücke，这里陈列着各色时尚商品，包括色彩缤纷的家居用品、设计师品牌文具、儿童读物、美容产品与少量服饰。对于高品质工匠咖啡的爱好者，不妨前往 Woyton位于杜塞尔多夫多家分店中的一间。这家店拥有一群忠实的拥趸与极佳的声誉，提供店内烘焙服务并持有各种令人咋舌的专业资质。Woyton对于“手冲咖啡”技法运用也相当出名，这是一种将水注入漏斗过滤的咖啡，并不加奶清饮的喝法。如果要外出就餐，城中也有许多餐馆可供探索。Bäckerstrasse街上的Zicke餐馆，以迷人内饰与对传统德国美食的现代演绎而出名。该店的周末早午餐包括煎薄饼，巴伐利亚香肠和附杂菜的欧陆式早餐。由于杜塞尔多夫也是德国最大的日本人聚集地，毫无意外的，这里的寿司餐馆都出类拔萃。当您在街上逛得腿脚疲乏时，可以去Altstad（老城区）挑一间酒吧小憩，并品尝当地特产altbier。这种琥珀色的啤酒可以在许多历史悠久的酒坊如 Zum Schlussel或Uerige找到，在成立于2010年的 Brauerei Kuzer也可见其身影。在杜塞尔多夫有无尽可能等待人们去发现，如果有些地方稍微远离城中心，那么不妨如Rail提议的， “好好利用这一点。” van-aferden.com, facebook.com/vaseline.duesseldorf, troedelmarkt-aachenerplatz.de, unterhaltung-lieblingsstuecke.de, woyton.de, bistro-zicke.de, duesseldorf-tourismus.de

50: Festive Fairs 节日盛会从手工艺品到私房甜点，德国的季节性市集为您带来欧洲最传统的购物体验，Stephen Doig报道德国的各大城市都拥有世界领先的现代零售业态，令人赞叹的玻璃幕墙购物中心内贩售着时下最新潮的时尚产品。然而该国同样以传统冬日集市闻名于世，在那里可以寻觅到畅销几个世纪的季节性美食——历史上的第一个市集被公认于14世纪在 Saxony举办。拥有新潮前卫名片的摩登柏林，在每年末会化身冬日仙境，各种声色动人的市集让人眼花缭乱。有些市集就位于主要购物区域，譬如在 Gendarmenmarkt市场与Potsdamer Platz广场举办的那些，而某些市集则更具亲和力，专注于手工艺品与家庭自制美食。引人入胜的Nostalgischer Weihnachsmarkt 市集位于Opernpalais，以贩售漂亮的手工艺品见长，从舒适的围巾到彩绘圣诞球，还有其他各种装饰品，购物的同时还有白兰地果酒与烤杏仁 globalblue.com

为到访者们平添暖意。位于Prenzlauer Berg的 Kollwitzplatz广场的 Aventsökomarkt市集，距离市中心只有咫尺，但同样可以体会到温馨的节日氛围。从被童话灯光点亮的小屋，到包括姜饼与节日装饰物在内的玲琅满目的商品。不妨随着颂歌演唱者们开始轻吟，或许还伴随着飘落屋顶的雪花，喝上一杯温暖的热朗姆酒，配以裹着香草酱的烤苹果。在魅力十足的Lucia Weihnachtsmarkt市集，您则可以在柏林感受到一丝斯堪的纳维亚文化的气息，这个市集也位于Prenzlauer Berg地区。这个以北欧神话中光之女神的名字命名的市集贩售斯堪的纳维亚与德国的美食、饮品与礼物。纵使德国首都有着独特的冬日魅力，但欧洲最著名的冬日市集实则位于另一座德国城市纽伦堡，这里每年吸引着两百万人到访。在圣母教堂（在这个时节会被灯光点亮）的光辉照耀下，狂欢的人们聚集在老城的中心广场，为您带来最原汁原味的节日体验。纽伦堡冬季市集据传在17世纪就已开始举行，号手们与颂歌演唱者们以规模宏大的开幕式为市集拉开序幕。从久远的年代起，金色天使就成为这个市集的象征，各种颜色的仿制品都可在此购得。在

城墙背后的Handwerkerhof 有一片庭院，人们可以在此观摩工匠们在木屋内工作，无论是吹制美丽绝伦的玻璃制品，还是制作精细复杂的金属制品。不妨在庭院中的Schoggladn Hoisla买一杯热巧克力取暖，离开前则别忘了去看看zwetschgenmännla。这些可追溯到18世纪的人偶全部以手工塑成，以铁线固定造型并（不同寻常地）覆以李子与核桃。在德国的商业重镇杜塞尔多夫，冬日市集的传统同样得以延续。若要找寻艺术品，可径直前往位于Schadowstrasse的宽敞市集，在那里可以找到手工制木头人像与迷你屋。在城中旧城区的Angel’s Market，新艺术风格的摊档贩售着精美的螺旋形状的蜡烛，手绘圣诞树装饰，与使用冬青与松枝制作、并点缀猩红色丝带的花环。无论是到访柏林、杜塞尔多夫还是纽伦堡，即使那些不专为节日而来的人们，也会被德国冬季市集欢乐氛围所感染。 visitberlin.de, tourismus.nuernberg.de, duesseldorf-tourismus.de
