TIME FOR WEMPE The story of Wempe began over 135 years ago with a young watchmaker named Gerhard Diedrich Wilhelm Wempe, whose eye for quality and skills in marketing soon got him noticed by powerful clients. His watch designs were beautiful and accomplished, and by 1907 his success had allowed him to open a fagship in Hamburg, from whence he soon expanded across Germany. Today the frm has stores and stockists across the world. The core values of beauty and quality have remained paramount within Wempe, which is still a family-run company to this day. It is one of Germany’s most prestigious watchmakers, and a timepiece by Wempe should be on every enthusiast’s wish list. hl Wempe, Jungfernstieg 8, 20354 Hamburg, +49 (0)40 3344 8824, wempe.com * for map go to page 74 globalblue.com

to go From the leading luggage to the most comfortable clothing, Stephanie Hirschmiller provides a guide to travelling in style The contemporary world voyager has a range of options, but if one label epitomises stylish travel, then it surely has to be Louis Vuitton. The luxury luggage brand dates back to 1854 and has become known the world over for its signature fat-bottomed trunks. These days the label is also famous for its line-up of contemporary bags, such as the Speedy, Alma and Never Full. Louis Vuitton’s new designer Nicolas Ghesquière, who created Balenciaga’s bestselling Lariat bag in his former role, has tapped into Louis Vuitton’s heritage to create this season’s ‘It’ bag, the Petite-Malle, a miniature handbag version of the house’s original monogrammed trunk.

When it comes to dressing for the journey, Louis Vuitton’s Icons capsule collection is a good place to start. This season the regularly updated line is inspired by the style of the French architect and designer Charlotte Perriand, who combined utility with beauty. Capes – which were classic accessories during the golden age of travel in the early 20th century – are enjoying a renaissance, and among the Icons clothing items for autumn/ winter 2014/15 are woollen ponchos, as well as reversible check coats with camel interiors.

Dolce & Gabbana has created a fairy-tale cape and Valentino’s features quirky forest animals and ethereal butterfies, while Burberry has blanket-style ponchos and Saint Laurent focuses on abbreviated 1960s shapes. For fat shoes, among the best options are horse-bit loafers from Gucci or Tod’s. And if you’re preparing for a long-haul fight, Madeleine Thompson – who divides her time between London and Hong Kong – has created luxurious travel slippers in cashmere. In fact, she has thought about everything to make the journey as enjoyable as possible, with a range that includes pyjamas and a blanket, both in cashmere, an eye mask and, best of all, a cashmere and silk pillowcase which will no doubt improve the comfort of the pillow provided by your airline. Penny Klein and Heidi Gosman, the stylish duo behind go-to swimwear label Heidi Klein, are no strangers to international travel (the label’s resort 2015 campaign was shot in the Previous: Madeleine Thompson autumn/winter 2014/15

British Virgin Islands). The women’s advice to those who will be enjoying the sun this season is to pack two reversible bikinis (such as Heidi Klein’s São Paulo and Jaipur designs) and mix and match them. The sandals from Ancient Greek Sandals, a breakout brand set up by Christina Martini, the former Balenciaga and Louis Vuitton accessories designer, have been seen on the feet of women including Jessica Alba and Candice Swanepoel. The label’s shoes are all handmade in Greece and can be hot stamped with your initials. To help plan your visit, if you’re not having a digital detox, Martini recommends the app Like a Local, which has been given fve stars by Mashable, a leading technology website. ‘It helps avoid tourist traps and allows you to discover hidden gems,’ she says. The jet-

setting South African luxury jewellery designer Kirsten Goss can never aford to be of-grid for long and relies on the Monster Powercard, a portable device for recharging iPhones and iPads. ‘It’s got an unbelievable level of power and has got me out of too many sticky situations,’ she laughs. And fnally, we turn to the suitcase. The traditionalist’s choice would be an item from the British company Globe-Trotter, whose pieces are handmade to order in England and are crafted from vulcanised fbreboard. If in London, take time to visit the company’s recently launched fagship store in Mayfair where you can view its new Albemarle collection in caramel and red leather which is exclusive to the store. For something thoroughly contemporary, consider the multiwheel Rimowa Titanium. Goss bought a set

IN FOCUS:

Montblanc’s Meisterstück Pen Montblanc’s famous fountain pen has been a design classic since it was launched 90 years ago. Sally McIlhone looks at the reasons for its enduring appeal

In 1924, the humble fountain pen was transformed into an object of desire. This was the year Montblanc launched its now-iconic Meisterstück writing instrument, a pen that’s been used by every statesman from Barack Obama to Nelson Mandela.

82 /

The name comes from a long-running German tradition whereby any craftsperson has to produce a Meisterstück – or ‘masterpiece’ – to demonstrate their skills and be admitted into the relevant professional body or guild. As Christian Rauch, Montblanc’s managing Opposite: Montblanc Meisterstück 149 fountain pen nib in rose gold, 90 Years Collection

54 | F E AT U R E S

director of writing instruments, explains, ‘We liked this idea so much that it was decided that Montblanc would apply this spirit of the Meisterstück to everything, whether it be writing instruments, leather goods or watches.’ Once Montblanc had created its ‘masterpiece’ pen, the company was understandably reluctant to reinvent the design to any great extent. After all, why mess with perfection? ‘The last real design change was at the beginning of the 1950s,’ Rauch explains. ‘Since then we have made small alterations; for example, we improved the way they work on fights. It’s like looking at the Coca-Cola logo, which seems to have been the same for ages but is actually not.’ In terms of the look and feel of the pen, however, little has changed. ‘If you ask someone to draw a fountain pen, from Nigeria to Paris it will always look like a Meisterstück, and that’s why we stick so closely to that shape,’ Rauch points out. Careful thought goes into any proposed modifcation. ‘For the 90-year anniversary we created a version in rose gold Above (clockwise from lef): historic photograph of the Montblanc factory; Meisterstück Le Grand rollerball and fountain pen in rose gold, 90 Years Collection; managing director of writing instruments, Christian Rauch

S H O P | 55

for the frst time. The Meisterstück comes in four sizes and the biggest, the 149, we usually never touch. But this time we made a version in rose gold and we discussed it for more than a year – with the board, with external consultants, with our friends from Richemont [the Swiss luxury-goods group of which Montblanc is now a part] … Finally we did it and we love it – but it was a big decision for us.’

The company is reluctant to reinvent the design to any great extent. After all, why mess with perfection?

It’s because of this reluctance to make vast changes that the Meisterstück has stood the test of time. ‘It became a real luxury icon, and there aren’t many of those. There’s the Trinity de Cartier ring, the face of the Rolex Oyster watch, the Chanel No5 perfume bottle … maybe 10 to 15 items that are really recognised all over the world.’ Now that the Meisterstück has entered this hall of fame, Montblanc is keen to ensure that’s where it remains. For Montblanc, part of that is making sure the Meisterstück is technically perfect. ‘With a regular Meisterstück, there are around 100 diferent working steps; the nib alone takes 35,’ explains Rauch. After a thorough set of quality controls – by eye, by magnifying glass, by computer measuring – the fnished handmade pen then goes through a crucial fnal check. In a soundproofed room, trained members of staf write with each one; as Rauch puts it, the testers ‘experience the soul of the writing instrument’ by how it feels and sounds. The Meisterstück was one of the frst writing instruments to be made to last;

56 | F E AT U R E S

because of this the brand is respectful of every piece, whether it was made in 1924 or 2004. ‘We always said that the Meisterstück should be meant for life and be passed on to the next generation. This is very untypical; usually with a pen, you use it and when it’s broken you throw it away. This was the world before Montblanc came along, and it’s still the world of pens in most cases.’ This pride in its products is clear in every aspect of Montblanc’s aftercare. ‘We make our products to live for ever, and we also repair them, no matter how old they are,’ says Rauch. ‘We have a strict policy here; if you send us a Montblanc from 1941 we will repair it with materials from 1941. For example, the piston of a fountain pen today is made out of silicon; in 1941 it would have been cork, so we do the repair with a cork piston.’ Given such attention to quality, the Meisterstück seems set to be as desirable and famous in another 90 years as it is now montblanc.com Above (from top): Montblanc car advertising, circa 1920s; atention to detail and quality is at the heart of the company’s ethos

Fashion is more global than it has ever been, yet national characteristics prevail. The Americans excel at luxe sportswear, no-one produces such beautiful leather as the Italians and Paris remains the destination for utterly chic and feminine style. And, while the idea of German precision is frequently discussed in relation to everything from cutting-edge technology to supercars, it can be applied equally to the country’s fashion labels. Practical, immaculately designed and manufactured, always functional: German brands are starting to celebrate their innate pragmatism and their timing couldn’t be better. Fashion is experiencing a dramatic sea-change as luxury brands everywhere realise that what women really need in their closets are real clothes; timeless building blocks that look good and are easy to wear. Take, for example, Jason Wu’s debut collection for Hugo Boss. Wu, who is best known for his utterly frivolous, incredibly luxurious cocktailwear, wasn’t perhaps the most obvious choice for a brand renowned

for its pin-sharp masculine tailoring. Yet the marriage has only served to highlight the strengths of the German brand. Ahead of his autumn/winter debut Wu alluded to the brand’s studied perfectionism, jokingly referring to the unapologetically modern Hugo Boss HQ in Metzingen as ‘the campus’. Yet that sense of German precision is clear in Wu’s clothes: the sleekest double-faced cashmere coats, Previous: Strenesse autumn/winter 2014/15

circled at the waist with a neat black military belt; the neat trouser suits with immaculately tailored boyish jackets and gamine tailored trousers; and the plush knitted capes sitting high on Wu’s models’ shoulders before swooping down behind, which look warm yet eminently practical. Wu isn’t the only designer rethinking how to fuse pragmatism with high fashion. Escada’s latest Escada Sport edition is packed with equally practical pieces. Fur jackets are cut close to the body and cinched with belts; parkas or gilets with fur hoods ofer a cosy but lightweight way to wrap up in winter; glossy coats and jackets are insulated with lightweight quilting and padding. All are paired with fat, boyish shoes designed to be functional yet super chic. At Strenesse it’s a similar story, with sporty, fur-trimmed lightweight parkas and jackets providing warmth over sleek day dresses and leggings. Snug jackets are ofered with insulating fur across the body and knit on the sleeves. And, just as at Hugo Boss, the sleek, modern trouser suit reigns supreme, valued for Above (clockwise from lef): Hugo Boss cashmere coat; Hugo Boss catwalk show; Escada Sport; Escada Sport Manteau jacket, all autumn/winter 2014/15

its practicality but cut to look super-stylish, with slouchy trousers in palest dove grey, charcoal or soft rose beige. Accessories get the practical treatment too. Strenesse tops its clean-cut looks with eminently wearable cross-body envelope bags. At Munich-based MCM, creative director Michael Michalsky’s sumptuous totes have been designed with women’s working lives at the forefront of the design process; separate compartments are incorporated for tech gadgets such as laptops and iPads, while rucksacks are designed with individual pockets in which to compartmentalise possessions. But it’s perhaps in sportswear where German precision and tech know-how mix most potently. The country’s world-class performance sportswear brands, from Adidas and Bogner to Porsche Design and Schofel,

lead the way when it comes to combining fashion with extreme sportswear. Adidas was able to show of all its latest developments when it dressed the British team at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. The brand supplied ‘heat pants’, self-heating garments that ensure the optimum temperature for athletes during their warm-up sessions, and Powerweb suits made with a thermoplastic polyurethane that stores and returns elastic energy to reduce muscle fatigue. This may sound very sci-f, but don’t be surprised if the very same technology starts to appear in your wardrobe in the not-toodistant future. And you can bet it will be German brands who ofer it frst hugoboss.com, escada.com, strenesse.com, mcmworldwide.com, adidas.com, bogner.com, porsche-design.com, schofel.com

Café SoCiety Hamburg’s cofee shops range from artisanal venues serving the perfect espresso to themed cafes ofering an array of sweet treats. Verity Hogan takes a break at some of the city’s best

As the world’s second largest importer of cofee, Germany has clearly fully embraced café culture. Cofee was introduced into the country in the late 17th century, with the opening of the frst cofee houses where traders, the wealthy and the educated met to discuss the matters of the day while enjoying a cup of the stimulating new drink, but it remained a luxury until much more recently. Today, cofee consumption has spread to all sections of German society. Cofee is the country’s most popular drink and Germans drink 150 litres of it each per year on average. Kafee und Kuchen, the practice of pausing for a cup of cofee and piece of cake between lunch and dinner, is an important part of German life, although it has become more of a weekend activity in recent years. Hamburg’s coastal setting has made it one of the leading trading and distribution points for cofee within Germany. As a result, the town is home to an array of cafés, cofee roasteries, and even museums dedicated to the bean. globalblue.com

Хорошей дороги! Стефани Хиршмиллер рассказывает о качественных чемоданах, комфортной одежде и других полезных вещах, которые сделают путешествие не только удобным, но и стильным

Среди всего многообразия аксессуаров из арсенала современного путешественника по-настоящему роскошный стиль воплощают сумки и чемоданы Louis Vuitton. Эта компания была основана в 1854 году и быстро прославилась фирменными багажными кофрами с плоским дном. В прошедшие полтора века значимость бренда неуклонно растет, и каждая серия сумок, будь то Speedy, Alma или Never Full, получает заслуженное признание. Новый дизайнер марки Николя Гескьер (автор бестселлера Lariat для Balenciaga) детально изучил наследие Louis Vuitton и переосмыслил исторический чемодан с монограммой в модели Petite-Malle, globalblue.com

которая уже претендует на статус It-bag сезона. Серия Icons этого модного дома предлагает отличные решения для дорожных комплектов одежды. Она обновляется каждый сезон, и в этом году ориентируется на стиль французского архитектора и дизайнера Шарлотты Перрианд, суть которого – в объединении функциональности с красотой. Сезон возрождения переживают сейчас плащи с капюшоном – обязательный элемент золотого времени путешествий в начале 20 века. Коллекция Icons развивает эту тему с помощью шерстяных пончо и двусторонних клетчатых пальто с верблюжьей подкладкой. Накидка от модного дома Dolce & Gabbana выглядит так, будто спустилась из волшебной зимней сказки. Вариация Valentino декорирована изображениями лесных животных и необычных бабочек, пончо Burberry похожи на теплые пледы, а силуэты Saint Laurent укорочены в стиле 1960-х. В дорогу лучше отправляться в удобной обуви на плоской подошве, и мы рекомендуем лоферы от Gucci и Tod’s. Дизайнер Мадлен Томпсон, которая живет на два города, Лондон и Гонконг, и постоянно курсирует между ними, специально для продолжительных перелетов создала роскошные мягкие туфли из кашемира. Она продумала все до мелочей, чтобы сгладить неудобства длительных путешествий: в ее коллекции – маска для глаз, пижама, одеяло и наволочки из кашемира и шелка. Дизайнеры Пенни Кляйн и Хайди Госман развивают популярную марку одежды для пляжного отдыха Heidi Klein. Их дело пронизывает дух международных путешествий: курортная рекламная кампания марки в 2015 году снималась на Британских Виргинских островах. Если в этом сезоне вы отправляетесь в теплые страны, Heidi Klein рекомендует приобрести два двусторонних купальникабикини, которые можно сочетать в различных комбинациях, как, например, модели São Paulo и Jaipur. Марку обуви Ancient Greek Sandals создала Кристина Мартини, которая раньше

разрабатывала аксессуары для Balenciaga и Louis Vuitton. Джессика Альба и Кандис Свейнпол уже стали поклонницами ее греческих сандалий ручной работы, тем более что на них можно разместить собственные инициалы. Если вы не выключаете гаджеты на время путешествия, то помогать в пути вам будет приложение Like a Local. Пользователи портала Mashable, специализирующегося на различных технологиях, дали ему высшую оценку. Такого же мнения придерживается и Кристина Мартини: «Это приложение помогает избегать туристических ловушек и находить самые интересные места города». Дизайнер ювелирных украшений из Южной Африки Кирстен Госс тоже предпочитает оставаться на связи всегда, поэтому пользуется Monster Powercard – портативным устройством для зарядки iPhone и iPad: «Эта станция дает невероятный уровень мощности и не раз меня выручала в сложных ситуациях», улыбается она. И, наконец, чемодан. Если вы придерживаетесь традиций, то непременно обратите внимание на британскую компанию Globe-Trotter. Все ее дорожные кейсы создаются английскими мастерами на заказ и исключительно вручную. Также компания запатентовала собственный износостойкий материал – «vulcanised fbreboard». Новую коллекцию марки Albemarle, в которую вошли сумки из кожи карамельного и красного оттенков, можно посмотреть только в новом флагманском магазине марки в лондонском районе Мейфэр. Но если вы предпочитаете исключительно современное оборудование, рекомендуем попробовать четырехколесный чемодан Rimowa Titanium. Кирстен Госс приобрела набор из трех кейсов еще 10 лет назад: «Их роняли, бросали и возили по всему миру, но они не вышли из строя, и я до сих пор ими пользуюсь», - утверждает она. Пожалуй, самым роскошным предложением в этой сфере можно назвать новинку марки Moynat, которую в 1849 году в Париже открыла Полин Мойна. Эти чемоданы ручной работы по форме подходят в багажник автомобиля, а также могут быть перекрашены под ее цвет. Новый арт-директор компании globalblue.com

В ФОКУСЕ: Ручка Montblanc Meisterstück Знаменитая перьевая ручка Montblanc считается классикой дизайна, еще с тех пор как она была выпущена 90 лет назад. Салли МакИлхоун пытается узнать секрет ее необъяснимой привлекательности В 1924 году скромная авторучка стала объектом всеобщего желания. Это был год, когда Montblanc выпустил уже ставшую легендой ручку Meisterstück, ручку, которой пользовался каждый государственный деятель от Барака Обамы до Нельсона Манделы. История названия связана с давней немецкой традицией, согласно которой, каждый мастер должен был создать Meisterstück или «шедевр», чтобы продемонстрировать свои способности и получить аттестацию соответствующей профессиональной организации или гильдии. «Нам так понравилась эта идея, что мы решили воплощать дух Meisterstück в каждом изделии, включая авторучки, изделия из кожи и часы», – поясняет генеральный директор Montblanc Кристиан Раух. После создания своего шедевра компания Montblanc по понятным причинам не торопится вносить кардинальные изменения в ставший популярным дизайн. В конце концов, зачем портить такое совершенство? «Последние серьезные изменения в дизайне были сделаны в 1950-х годах, – говорит Раух. – С тех пор мы ограничивались лишь незначительными модификациями. Например, мы усовершенствовали характеристики ручки для использования во время полета. Это как логотип Coca-Cola, вам может показаться, что он уже сто лет не менялся, но на самом деле это не так».

Однако, что касается внешнего вида самой ручки, то здесь мало что поменялось. «Если вы попросите кого-то нарисовать вам авторучку, то она всегда будет напоминать Meisterstück, именно поэтому мы придерживаемся неизменного дизайна», – замечает Раух. Перед тем как внести малейшую правку, решение тèательным образом обдумывается. В честь 90-летнего юбилея мы впервые выпустили модель в варианте из розового золота. Meisterstück поставляется в четырех размерах и самый большой из них, 149-й, мы обычно никогда не меняем. Но в этот раз мы решились на выпуск версии из розового золота, правда этому предстоял целый год дебатов и консультаций, в том числе с нашими партнерами из Richemont (швейцарская холдинговая компания, специализируюèаяся на производстве предметов роскоши, частью которой является Montblanc). В итоге мы это сделали и ничуть не жалеем, однако для нас это было непростым решением». Возможно, как раз благодаря такой осторожности к масштабным переменам серия Meisterstück смогла выдержать испытание временем. «Эта ручка стала настояèим символом роскоши, которых не так уж и много, например, кольцо Trinity de Cartier, часы Rolex Oyster, духи Chanel No5 и может еèе 10 или 15 веèей, которые действительно признаны во всем мире». Теперь, когда Meisterstück попал в этот зал славы, Montblanc стремится сделать все возможное, чтобы он остался там как можно дольше. Для этого компании также необходимо следить, чтобы ручка всегда шагала в ногу со временем. «Процесс создания регулярной модели Meisterstück состоит из ста различных этапов, 35 из которых приходятся на одно только перо», – поясняет Раух. После тèательных проверок, как с помоèью невооруженного глаза, так и при помоèи увеличительного стекла и компьютерного анализа, сделанная вручную авторучка подвергается окончательной проверке. Для этого требуется помеèение со звукоизоляцией и несколько специально обученных сотрудников, которые, как выразился Раух, могут «прочувствовать душу письменных принадлежностей». Ручка Meisterstück была одной из первых

и по-настояèему долговечных. Именно ей обязаны своей популярностью остальные веèи бренда, выпуèенные в период с 1924 по 2004 год. «Мы всегда говорили, что Meisterstück создается на века и должна переходить из поколения в поколение. Это, конечно, может звучать слегка необычно, ведь мы привыкли покупать ручку и сразу ее выкидывать, как только она перестала писать. Такое положение дел было до прихода Montblanc и таким оно остается сейчас со многими письменными принадлежностями». Ценность каждого изделия легко заметить по принципам сервисного обслуживания Montblanc. «Мы создаем такие изделия, которые должны служить вечность, и мы будем рады принять их в ремонт независимо от того, когда они сделаны, – говорит Раух. – У нас действуют довольно строгие правила. Если вы принесете к нам ручку Montblanc 1941 года выпуска, мы наладим ее с помоèью комплектуюèих того же года. Например, поршень авторучки сегодня делается из кремния; в 1941 годы мы использовали пробковое дерево, поэтому и чинить будем с деталями из пробкового дерева». Учитывая такое внимание к качеству, похоже, что Meisterstück будет столь же знаменит и желанен даже через 90 лет. montblanc.com 58: Form And Function

Мода Или Практичность? Немецкие дизайнеры в очередной раз доказывают, что одно другому нисколько не мешает. Клэр Коулсон изучила зимние коллекции лучших немецких брендов Несмотря на то, что мода – понятие глобальное, определенные страны упорно продолжают сохранять лидерство в тех или иных областях. Так, американцы делают превосходную спортивную одежду, итальянцев сложно превзойти по части изделий из кожи, а французы остаются лидерами шикарных и невероятно женственных нарядов. Что же касается Германии, то пресловутая немецкая точность в равной степени применима как к современным технологиям и автомобилям, так

и к модным брендам этой страны. Практичный дизайн и неповторимое качество в сочетании с природным прагматизмом стали основой формирования модной индустрии немцев. В последнее время, когда мода переживает кардинальные изменения, роскошные бренды по всему миру начинают осознавать одну простую истину: все что нужно женщинам – так это настоящая одежда, состоящая из элегантных классических элементов, которые хорошо смотрятся и легко носятся. Взять, к примеру, дебютную коллекцию Джейсона Ву для Hugo Boss. Кому-то такой союз может показаться весьма странным, учитывая, что дизайнер специализируется в основном на легких и роскошных вечерних платьях, в то время как Hugo Boss – на строгих мужских костюмах. И, тем не менее, это сотрудничество позволило подчеркнуть сильные стороны немецкой марки. В преддверии своей дебютной осенне-зимней коллекции Ву решил сослаться на перфекционизм бренда, в шутку назвав ультрасовременную штаб-квартиру Hugo Boss в Метцингене «кампусом». И все же ощущение немецкой точности, безусловно, присутствовало в коллекции Ву: стильные двусторонние кашемировые пальто с аккуратным военным ремнем черного цвета; аккуратные костюмы с безукоризненными мальчишескими пиджаками и брюками; а также плюшевые трикотажные накидки, которые можно носить в сложенном виде на плечах, а затем накинуть на спину – все это смотрится элегантно и в высшей степени практично. Ву не единственный дизайнер, пытающийся переосмыслить и объединить прагматизм и высокую моду. Последняя коллекция Escada «Escada Sport» буквально изобилует практичными моделями. Меховые куртки слегка приталены и подвязаны поясом; парки и жилетки с меховыми капюшонами почти невесомы и весьма удобны в зимнюю пору; глянцевые пальто и куртки сделаны с использованием легкого и современного утеплителя. Все это сочетается с мальчишеской обувью на плоской подошве, которая, несмотря на свою практичность, выглядит довольно шикарно. В Strenesse похожая история: легкие globalblue.com

спортивные парки и куртки, украшенные мехом, сочетаются с повседневными платьями и леггинсами. Прилегающие жакеты утеплены мехом и трикотажными деталями на рукавах. Как и в случае с Hugo Boss особое место здесь отведено современным костюмам, практичным и в то же время стильным, с брюками свободного покроя серого цвета с голубоватым или розоватым отливом. Аксессуары также приобрели долю практичности. Strenesse завершает свои привлекательные образы удобными клатчами на длинном ремешке. Мюнхенская марка MCM во главе с креативным директором Михаелем Михальски предлагает роскошные сумки тоут, отвечающие всем потребностям современной женщины. В сумках предусмотрены специальные отделения для электронных гаджетов, таких как ноутбук и iPad, а рюкзаки изобилуют кармашками разных размеров для всевозможных мелочей. Но особенно выраженно немецкая точность и техническое ноу-хау проявились в области спортивной одежды. Когда дело доходит до умения сочетать моду и одежду для экстремальных видов спорта, то здесь неизменными лидерами остаются такие немецкие марки, как Adidas, Bogner, Porsche Design и Schofel. Бренд Adidas смог показать все свои последние разработки во время экипировки британских спортсменов, участвующих в зимних олимпийских играх в Сочи в 2014 году. Adidas представил свои «теплые штаны», сделанные из самонагревающихся материалов и обеспечивающие оптимальную температуру тела спортсмена во время тренировки, а также костюмы Powerweb из термопластичного полиуретана, который хранит и возвращает эластическую тягу для снижения мышечной усталости. Возможно, это звучит немного из области фантастики, однако не стоит удивляться, если в скором времени подобная технология появится в вашем шкафу. И с большой долей вероятности можно предположить, что это будет вещь одного из немецких брендов. hugoboss.com, escada.com, strenesse.com, mcmworldwide.com, adidas.com, bogner.com, porsche-design.com, schofel.com

46: Good To Go 整装待发从最顶尖的行李箱到最舒适的着装，S t e p h a n i e Hirschmiller 为您呈现时尚旅行指南当代旅行者们有着广泛的选择，然而如果要选出一个最能代表时尚旅行的品牌，那当属Louis Vuitton。这个奢华箱包品牌可以追溯到1845 年，并以标志性的平底箱举世闻名。

如今品牌的摩登包袋同样声名显赫，譬如

S p e e d y 、A l m a 与 N e ve r F u l l 等系列。L o u i s Vuitton 的新设计师 Nicolas Ghesquière，曾在执掌 Balenciaga 时创造了热销款 Lariat 手袋，他潜入 Louis Vuitton 的深厚历史，创造出这一季新款的It bag（话题包袋），Petite-Malle，一款品牌经典老花手提箱的迷你手袋版本。当提到旅行中的衣着，Louis Vuitton 的Icons 套装系列是不错的起点。这个定期更新的系列，在这一季，从善于将实用与美感结合的法国建筑师与设计师 Charlotte Perriand处得到灵感。斗篷——20 世纪早期旅行黄金年代的必备单品— —重新归来，Icons 秋冬系列单品还包括羊毛披风，与驼色内饰的两面穿格子大衣。Dolce & Gabba na 带来了童话般的斗篷，Valentino 则使用精灵古怪的森林动物与空灵蝴蝶，Burberry 推出了毯式披风，而Saint Laurent 注重改进1960年代的版型。对于平底鞋而言，最佳选择是来自 G u c c i 或 To d ’s 的马衔铁乐福鞋。如果您将踏上长途飞行之旅，穿梭于伦敦与香港之间的 M a d e l e i n e Thompson——为您奉上奢华的羊绒旅行拖鞋。事实上，为使旅途变得尽可能舒适她已想尽一切办法，推出了一系列羊绒睡衣与毛毯、眼罩以及，其中最棒的，一款羊绒与丝绸制成的枕头套，其舒适度无疑比航空公司提供的枕头套高上不少。最佳泳装品牌 H e i d i K l e i n 背后的设计双杰 Penny Klein与Heidi Gosman，也是国际旅行的常客（品牌的2015度假系列广告在英属维珍群岛拍摄）。这两位女性对那些想要在本季沐浴阳光的人们的建议是带上两套双面比基尼（例如Heidi Klein的São Paulo 与Jaipur系列）并混搭穿着。来自 A n c i e n t G r e e k S a n d a l s ，这个由前 B a l e n c i a g a 与L o u i s V u i t t o n 的配饰设计师 Christina Martini创造的颠覆性凉鞋品牌，可见于 Jessica Alba与Candice Swanepoel的足上。品牌的鞋款全部在希腊手工制成，并可烙印上您的姓名首字母。如果您并不想完全摆脱科技的帮助，那么Martini 为您推荐这款叫做 Like a Local的手机app用以规划行程，它曾被顶尖科技网站Mashable给予五星评价。 “ 它帮助您免于落入游客陷阱，并带您探索当地不为人知的珍宝， ”她表示。搭乘喷气机穿梭于全球的南非奢华珠宝设计师Kirsten Goss，绝不能忍受离开网络太久，她高度依赖 Monster Powercard，一款用于为 iPhone 与iPad充电的便携装置。 “它所包含的充电量大得令人难以置信，帮我摆脱了许多尴尬窘境， ”她笑称。最后我们将目光投向手提箱。传统派的选择有来自英国Globe -Trotter公司，其来客定制产品全部在英格兰使用硫化纤维板手工制作。如果去伦敦，不妨抽出时间造访该公司最近在 Mayfair开设的旗舰店，在那里你

可以见到最新的Albemarle系列，这个焦糖色与红色皮革的系列是在门店独家贩售的。对于摩登人群，不妨考虑多向轮的Rimowa Titanium系列。Goss在十多年前购入了一套三件该系列旅行箱： “他们已经在世界各地遭受冲撞、抛掷和拖行，担仍然紧跟着我的步伐， ”她表示。或许最终极的豪华旅行配件是来自Moynat 的创新单品。这个由Pauline Moynat在1849年成立于巴黎的品牌，提供可以恰好装入车辆后备箱的定制旅行箱，并可在色彩上与车辆外观相匹配。该公司的新艺术总监 Ramesh Nair，是Hermès的前设计师，所以请务必关注这些经过重新塑造的必备单品。有了上述时尚与舒适旅行指南，完美旅途唾手可得。 louisvuitton.com, madeleine-thompson.com, heidiklein.com, ancient-greek-sandals.com, globetrotter1897.com, moynat.com

52: In Focus: Montblanc’s Meisterstück Pen 聚焦：万宝龙大班笔自90年前诞生至今，万宝龙的驰名钢笔系列一直是永恒的设计经典。Sally McIlhone为您揭示其持久魅力背后的秘密

1924 年，默默无闻的钢笔开始被打造成欲望的载体。在这一年万宝龙推出了品牌标志性的大班系列书写工具，这是一支从奥巴马到纳尔逊曼德拉等每位显耀政客都使用过的笔。系列的名称来源于一个历史悠久的德国传统，每位工匠能必须制作出大班——即“杰作”——来展示自己的技能并获得进入相关专业机构或行业协会的资格。正如万宝龙书写工具总监Christian Rauch 所解释的， “我们如此喜欢这个传统，以至于万宝龙决定将这种大班精神运用到各条产品线，无论是书写工具、皮革制品还是腕表。” 当万宝龙创造出“杰作”钢笔后，公司自然不愿轻易在其设计上做重大变动。毕竟，为什么要破坏已经完美的东西呢？“ 最后一个真正意义上的设计变动发生在 1950 年代初， ”Rauch 解释道。 “自那时起我们就只做过微小调整；例如，改进了钢笔在航班上的工作原理。就好比可口可乐的经典标志，多年来看似完全相同而事实并非如此。” 然而在笔的外观和触感方面，几乎没有任何变化。 “如果你请人画一支钢笔，从尼日利亚到巴黎，它看起来永远都像一支大班笔，这也是我们如此坚守这一外形的原因， ”Rauch 指出。任何修改建议都会经过深思熟虑的考量。 “对于90周年纪念系列，我们首次制作了玫瑰金版本。这款大班笔有四种尺寸，其中最大的149 我们过往鲜少触及。但这次我们做的这个玫瑰金版本， globalblue.com

经过了一年多的商榷——与董事会成员、外部顾问、与历峰集团（万宝龙如今所属的瑞士奢侈品集团）的同僚们...最后我们决定做这个版本，并对成果非常满意—— 但这对我们仍旧是一个相当重大的决定。” 正是这种对于变化保持的慎省态度，让大班笔经受住了时间的考验。 “它成为真正意义上的奢侈图腾，而世上并不多见。其他还有Cartier的Trinity戒指，劳力士蚝式腕表，香奈儿 5号香水瓶等...或许在全球只有 10到15件产品拥有同样的地位。”今日大班笔已跻身殿堂，万宝龙则将全力确保它能够永居其列。对万宝龙而言，部分工作是确保大班笔在技术上的至臻完美。 “任何一支普通的大班笔都经过100多道不同的生产工序；仅笔尖部分就需要35步， ”Rauch解释。之后是一整套全面的质量控制体系——包括肉眼观察、放大镜观察、计算机测量等——最后的成品手工制钢笔还会经过关键的最后检验。在隔音的房间内，训练有素工作人员会试写每支钢笔；正如Rauch所言，测试者通过触觉和声音来“检验书写工具的灵魂”。大班笔是最先诞生的经典书写工具之一；因此品牌旗下的每一款产品都备受尊崇，无论它制造于1924 年还是2004年。 “我们总是强调，大班笔应当被珍藏一生并传给下一代。这是不多见的；因为通常对于钢笔，人们总是用坏了就丢弃。这是万宝龙诞生于世之前的普遍情况，也是如今钢笔世界中多数发生的事实。” 万宝龙对于自身产品的骄傲体现在其售后服务的每一个方面。 “我们要让自己的产品永生，所以我们也负责 “我修复它们，无论经过了多少个年头， ”Rauch 表示。们订立了严格的政策；如果您送来一支1941年代的万宝龙笔，我们将以1941年的材料修复它。譬如，今日钢笔内的活塞是用硅制成的；而在1941年是以软木制作的，所以我们会在修复中仍使用软木活塞。” 对品质如此专注的大班笔，似乎会在接下来的 90 年中如今日一般闻名遐迩且受众人追逐。

montblanc.com 58: Form And Function 秀外慧中从最顶尖的行李箱到最舒适的着装，S t e p h a n i e Hirschmiller 为您呈现时尚旅行指南德国制造拥有精密准确的国际声誉——这也适用于该国的时尚品牌。一批德国顶尖品牌带来的冬季系列都印证了这点，Clare Coulson表示时尚正变得比任何时候都全球化，然而民族特色仍未磨灭。美国人擅长制造奢华运动装，而在皮革制作上无人能与意大利人比肩，巴黎仍旧是极致时髦与女性化风格之圣地。此外，德国制造的精密性则体现在从前沿科技到超级跑车等各行业，其同时适用于该国的时尚品牌。

实用、纯净的设计与制造，永远兼顾功能性：德国品牌在这个最佳时机，开始高举自己与生俱来的实用主义旗帜。时尚界正经历一场剧烈的变革，各地的奢侈品牌都意识到女人衣橱中真正需要的，是实穿的服饰；是好看又易穿的不过时的经典款。以 Jason Wu在 Hugo Boss品牌发表的首个系列为例。Wu个人最出名的单品是轻浮放浪、极度奢华的鸡尾酒会装，这或许与以锋芒锐利的男性化剪裁出名的 Hugo Boss并不匹配。然而二者的联姻却更彰显了德国品牌的优势。在推出秋/冬系列之前，Wu深入研究过品牌的完美主义传统，并开玩笑地将Hugo Boss位于麦琴根的总部成为“校园”。然而那份德国式的精密在 Wu 的设计中昭然若揭：时髦的双面羊绒大衣，腰部装饰着简洁的黑色军用皮带；利落的西装则搭配以简约的男孩风夹克与剪裁中性的西装裤；而 Wu的模特们肩上搭着的毛绒针织披肩可以围至背后，温暖又实用。 Wu并不是唯一考虑将实用主义融入高级时装的设计师。Escada旗下的最新副线Escada Sport，同样推出了不少实用的作品。毛皮夹克以贴身剪裁并配以可收紧腰带；皮草领大衣或风衣为冬季带来轻盈又温暖的包裹；闪光外套与夹克则采用轻质绗缝线与填充物。以上系列都可搭配平底的男孩风鞋履，即实穿又时髦。 Strenesse品牌也采取了类似的作法，运动感十足的皮草装饰轻便风衣及夹克，可搭配时髦连衣裙与打底裤，为冬日带来暖意。温暖的外套通体装饰着绝缘皮草并辅以针织袖管。并且，与Hugo Boss如出一辙，时髦摩登的裤装，西装裤是系列中的明星，以超高实用性以及时尚剪裁而脱颖而出，此外还有极浅的鸽子灰、木炭黑或温和的玫瑰米色宽松裤装可供选择。时装配件也变得实用起来。Stgrenesse以耐磨的斜跨信封手袋，来搭配其简约的服装造型。在慕尼黑的 MCM，创意总监Michael Michalsky在设计奢华手提包的初期，就以适合女性职业生涯为考量；包中设有可收纳笔记本电脑、iPad等数码产品的隔断，而背包的设计中则加入了可以收纳财物的独立口袋。德国式的精准与技术，或许在运动服上结合并体现地最为淋漓尽致。该国众多的世界顶尖的专业运动品牌，从 Adidas 与Bogner 到 Porsche Design与 Schof fel ，都是将时尚与高性能运动服结合的领导者。Adidas借助2014 年索契冬奥会上的英国队，展现了自己的技术实力。品牌提供的“发热裤” ，使用一种可自身发热的材料，以确保运动员们能在最适合的温度下进行热身，而使用热塑性聚氨酯制造的Powerweb西服，则能够吸收并反馈弹力，从而减少肌肉疲劳。这或许听起来很科幻，但当同样技术制成的服饰在不久的将来出现在你的衣橱中时，请不要过度惊讶。而你几乎可以确信这必然是德国品牌首率先推出的。 hugoboss.com, escada.com, strenesse.com, mcmworldwide.com, adidas.com, bogner.com, porsche-design.com, schofel.com
