THIS IS A MODERN WORLD If the look of Pull & Bear’s recently enlarged and refurbished Barcelona store could be summed up in two words, they’d be ‘colourful’ and ‘youthful’. The Spanish fashion brand’s bold new space takes Palm Springs in California as its inspiration, and no expense has been spared when it comes to kitsch decorations and wall hangings – think neon signs and hotpink famingo sculptures. There’s Save up to 15.7% by shopping tax free, see page 77
something to catch the eye in every part of the store, from the uniquely decorated changing rooms to the chill-out zones and even at the cash desk, which resembles a fairground game. The bright colours, dynamic textures and inviting decorations combine to create a highly visual experience, and one that refects Pull & Bear’s love of new technologies and the latest trends in art and music. rf Pull & Bear, Avinguda Portal de l’Àngel 42, 08002 Barcelona, +34 93 302 0876, pullandbear.com * for map go to page 72

After years as a merchandiser, she made her passion her career and launched a womenswear collection just over a decade ago. Helbig has since won acclaim for her elegant creations and skilled use of luxurious fabrics. Ximena Daneri caught up with the designer in her Barcelona boutique.

Fashion incorporates musical references, flm, craft, folk tradition … Fashion is history and sociology. ‘My label Teresa Helbig was founded in the year 2000. The team is the most valuable part of the label, and consists of seamstresses, pattern makers and occasional collaborators – 10 to 12 people in total. ‘We chose to open the atelier in the Eixample district of Barcelona. Besides fnding it very beautiful and representative of the history of Barcelona, I love its blend of tradition and modernity, which also refects the Teresa Helbig collections. ‘I really like the world of interior design and I think a home or workplace illustrates the ideas, tastes and values of those who inhabit it. I enjoyed designing the new atelier, although it was hard work. ‘I think what diferentiates us as a brand, the unique quality we globalblue.com

The form is seductive, modern, provocative and rebellious. This mixture works well, and creates a strong efect. ‘Each client is a curious and amusing story. It’s particularly exciting when we design for a bride. I really like the loving relationship between mothers and daughters. ‘There is a Spanish saying, “In the blacksmith’s house, you fnd a wooden knife.” After spending all week in my store, you won’t fnd me shopping all day long at the weekends.

IN FOCUS:
THE ESPADRILLE
Whether in its classic form or with a modern twist, Spain’s signature shoe evokes the spirit of hot Mediterranean summers and classic Hollywood glamour, says Karen Munnis
42 | F E AT U R E S
M
any would be surprised to learn that the espadrille, with its signature jute-rope sole evoking long Mediterranean summers, has its roots in menswear. The espadrille can trace its history back over several millennia – Granada’s archaeological museum has a primitive example thought to date back around 4,000 years – and it was standard footwear for the King of Aragon’s infantry troops in the 13th century. Espadrilles have come a long way since then, being seen on the feet of some of the most famous names of the 20th century, including Salvador Dalí, Lauren Bacall and John F Kennedy Junior.
The espadrille offers a ladylike alternative to flip-flops or flat sandals, adding an elegant touch to beach attire or floaty dresses 79 / 91
86
Until the turn of the 20th century, espadrilles were designed more for function than fashion and were worn mainly by the military and rural workers. They were comfortable and practical; the natural sole moulds itself to the foot while allowing the skin to breathe – ideal for Spain’s hot summers. An alpargatero (espadrille maker) would make the sole, while a seamstress would sew together the upper in a black or natural-coloured linen or cotton. Each Spanish region had Previous: Castañer spring/summer 2015

its own version of the shoe; participants in the traditional sardana dance of Catalonia, for example, always wore a white design. It wasn’t until 1948, when Lauren Bacall wore a pair of espadrilles in the flm Key Largo that the shoe gained worldwide attention. Grace Kelly and Rita Hayworth soon followed suit and the shoe became universally popular with women throughout Europe and the US. Today, the espadrille ofers a ladylike alternative to fip-fops or fat sandals – the wedge version, with ribbons that lace up the leg, adds an elegant touch to beach attire or foaty summer dresses. The shoe’s classic model features cotton and jute rope, but in recent years each season has brought new colour, fabric and style incarnations. That said, the original design remains a fashion favourite, with its leading makers celebrated for creating handcrafted products that remain true to the espadrille’s heritage. Castañer is the company often credited with taking the espadrille into the mainstream, as well as for creating a more fashionable style of the shoe. The Castañer family has been involved in the industry since

the 18th century when Rafael Castañer, the family’s frst alpargatero, was born. In 1927, the family opened its frst workshop, in Banyoles, though its products were still aimed primarily at working labourers. It wasn’t until the 1960s that the brand’s focus began to change. The company – now run by the second generation, Lorenzo Castañer and his wife Isabel – began to play with the basic espadrille design, gaining a fanbase of artists, actors and other famous people in the process. However, it was a chance meeting with Yves Saint Laurent at a Parisian fair in the early 70s that literally changed the shape of Castañer’s shoes, as well as its business. ‘Yves Saint Laurent was a great infuence for us,’ says Rafael Castañer, the company’s current menswear designer. ‘He was always a visionary and his idea for a highheeled wedge was a simply brilliant one.’ The style of espadrille that Above (from top): Luis Castañer with Grace Kelly wearing espadrilles; Yves Saint Laurent worked with Castañer to create a new style of espadrille

Yves Saint Laurent helped to create quickly became a bestseller and since then it has evolved to become the Carina, a low-cut wedge-heel version with ribbons that wrap around the ankle, one of the company’s most popular models to this day. A desire to stay close to its Spanish heritage was one of the main factors behind the company’s decision to open its frst store – designed by Rafael’s sister Cristina, and recently remodelled by Benedetta Tagliabue – in Barcelona in 1994. ‘The town was, and still is, very cosmopolitan and Mediterranean, which is also our brand’s ethos,’ says Rafael. Since then
Castañer has gone from strength to strength, opening stores in Paris, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Shanghai, among other cities. Castañer’s shoes appeal to Spanish and Hollywood stars alike. Pedro Almodóvar uses Castañer espadrilles in his flms - Penélope Cruz wore them in Jamón Jamón, most notably – while Scarlett Johansson donned a pair in Woody Allen’s Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Every season, Castañer introduces new materials, colours and styles to its collections, but remains true to its heritage, producing and manufacturing all of its espadrilles in Spain. ‘Espadrilles are a traditional, simple and charming product,’ explains Rafael. ‘Yet we still manage to create a sophisticated and luxurious design without losing the craft and timeless essence.’ Espadrilles will always evoke that summertime feeling, with an added touch of elegance. And by maintaining its Spanish roots, Castañer continues to create a classic product that will never go out of style castaner.com

TABLE TALK Barcelona’s creative spirit has found an inspiring new outlet in the city’s world-class restaurants, as Isabella Redmond Styles discovers
From Antonio Gaudí to Joan Miró, Barcelona has long been known for its artists’ surreal and colourful approach, and this unconventional creative streak is increasingly evident in the city’s restaurants. Forget the time-honoured notion of fne dining; Barcelona’s best places to eat provide gastronomic experiences that are at once playful and profound. Catalan cuisine forms globalblue.com
the backbone of the majority of menus.

Proudly continuing Barcelona’s tradition of surrealist art, Objeto de Deseo is part shop, part gallery, which sells decorative objects that you won’t fnd anywhere else. Owner Jorge Subietas explains that the store allows the pieces to be the focus of attention, rather than merely a prop to be used with furniture or other interior design items. The items have been sourced from over 30 countries worldwide and fashioned out of an assortment of wood, glass, porcelain and metal, meaning there’s something that will ft perfectly within any home.

В Фокусе: Эспадрильи
Классические или современные, знаменитая испанские эспадрильи сочетают в себе образ жаркого средиземноморского лета и классического голливудского шика, – утверждает Карен Мьюннис Многие могут удивиться, узнав, что эспадрильи с их традиционной веревочной подошвой, напоминающей о жарких летних днях, на самом globalblue.com
деле берут начало в мужской одежде. Первые эспадрильи появились еще несколько тысячелетий тому назад и использовались в качестве повседневной обуви у солдат короля Арагона, жившего в 13 веке. В археологическом музее Гранады хранится примитивный экземпляр этой обуви возрастом 4000 лет. С тех пор эспадрильи прошли долгий путь развития и успели покрасоваться на ногах

многих звезд 20 века, включая Сальвадора Дали, Лорен Бэколл и Джона Ф. Кеннеди младшего. Вплоть до рубежа 20 века при производстве эспадрилий основное внимание уделялось практичности, нежели стилю, а главными потребителями были военные и сельские рабочие. Такая обувь была удобна и практична: натуральная подошва легко принимает форму стопы и позволяет коже свободно дышать, что особенно актуально для жаркой испанской погоды. Созданием подошвы обычно занимается alpargatero globalblue.com
(мастер по эспадрильям), а портной сшивает верх из хлопка или льна черного или натурального оттенка. Каждый регион Испании имеет свои традиции создания эспадрилий. К примеру, участники национального каталонского танца Сардана носят эспадрильи только белого цвета. Всемирная популярность пришла к этой модели обуви после того, как Лорен Бэколл продемонстрировала ее в фильме 1948 года «Риф Ларго». Грейс Келли и Рита Хейворт последовали ее примеру, и

вскоре эспадрильи можно было заметить на ногах многих женщин из США и Европы. Сегодня модель эспадрилий на платформе составляет стильную альтернативу вьетнамкам или плоским сандалиям, а ремешок, завязывающийся вокруг ноги, добавляет элегантности любому пляжному наряду или легкому летнему платью. Классические модели выполнены из хлопка и джутовой веревки, хотя в последние годы появляются все новые цвета, ткани и фасоны. Тем не менее, оригинальный дизайн остается фаворитом среди многих известных производителей, сохранивших верность подлинным традициям. Одной из главных заслуг компании Castañer считается популяризация эспадрилий и придание им современного стиля. Семья Castañer занимается производством обуви с 18 века, с момента, когда появился на свет первый в семье alpargatero. В 1927 году семейство открыло свою первую мастерскую в Баньолес, хотя продукция в первую очередь все еще была рассчитана на простых рабочих. Начиная с 1960-х годов, аудитория бренда начинает меняться. Компания, управление которой сейчас принадлежит Лоренцо Кастаньер и его жене Изабель, начала экспериментировать с изначальным дизайном globalblue.com
эспадрилий, привлекая внимание художников, актеров и других знаменитостей. Переломным моментом, изменившим судьбу обуви Castañer, стала случайная встреча предпринимателя с Ив Сен-Лораном во время парижской ярмарки в начале 70-х годов. «Ив Сен-Лоран оказал на нас огромное влияние, – говорит Рафаель Кастаньер, заведующий дизайном мужской одежды. – Он всегда был провидцем и его идея создания обуви на высокой платформе просто блестящая». Стиль, предложенный Ив Сен-Лораном очень быстро стал хитом. Так появилась одна из самых популярных на сегодняшний день моделей «Carina» – с высоким каблуком, глубоким вырезом и ремешком, завязывающимся вокруг лодыжки. При открытии первого магазина в Барселоне в 1994 году компания руководствовалась несколькими факторами, и главным среди них было желание оставаться верными своему испанскому наследию. Дизайном магазина занималась сестра Рафаэля – Кристина, а совсем недавно итальянский архитектор Бенедетта Тальябуэ сделала полную перепланировку. «Барселона всегда была и остается очень космополитичным городом с привлекательной средиземноморской атмосферой, заложенной в

основу нашего бренда», – говорит Рафаэль. За время своего существования бренд Castañer успел пройти немалый путь развития: новые магазины открылись в таких городах, как Париж, Токио, Гонконг и Шанхай. Обувь Castañer завоевала признание среди многих испанских и голливудских звезд. Педро Альмодовар часто выбирает эспадрильи Castañer для своих фильмов, Пенелопа Крус одевала их в фильме «Ветчина, ветчина», а Скарлетт Йоханссон – в картине Вуди Аллена «Вики Кристина Барселона». Каждый сезон Castañer использует в своих коллекциях новые материалы, цвета и стили, но при этом верность традициям остается неизменной: вся обувь производится исключительно в Испании. «Эспадрильи – классический, простой и очаровательный продукт, – поясняет Рафаэль. – Тем не менее, нам удается придавать им изящную и роскошную форму, не нанося ущерба бессмертным традициям и первозданному качеству». Слегка элегантные эспадрильи всегда будут вызывать у нас летние эмоции. Не забывая о своих испанских корнях, Castañer продолжает создавать классическую обувь, которая никогда не выйдет из моды. castaner.com

无论是经典造型还是摩登现代演绎， 这款西班牙的著名鞋款，蕴藏着地中 海炎炎夏季之神髓与好莱坞的经典魅 惑。Karen Munnis报道 或许不少人会感到惊讶，当得知草编 鞋 那 标 志 性 的、洋 溢 地中 海夏日风 情 的 黄 麻 绳 鞋 底，是 来自于男 鞋 设 计。草编鞋的历史可以追溯到几千年 前——格拉纳达考古博物馆就藏有一 双4000 年前的草编鞋原型——这是 13世纪阿拉贡国王的步兵部队的标准 着装。自那时起，草编鞋经历了漫长 的岁月，并见诸于20 世纪最负盛名人 士的足端，其中包括萨尔瓦多·达利、 劳伦·巴考尔和小约翰·肯尼迪。 一直到20世纪，草编鞋的设计相较 时尚更偏重功能性，并主要为军队与 农民穿着。它们舒适又实用；天然鞋底 与足底完美贴合，又能让皮肤充分呼 吸——对于西班牙的酷暑季节再适合 不过。alpargatero （草编鞋工匠）负 责制作鞋底，裁缝则负责将其与黑色 或天然染色亚麻或棉布制作的鞋面缝 制在一起。西班牙各个地区都有自己 globalblue.com
风格的草编鞋；举例而言，加泰罗尼 亚地区的传统 sardana 舞者们，就只 穿着白色款草编鞋。 直到1948 年，劳伦·巴考尔在电影 《盖世枭雄》中足踏一双草编鞋，这 款鞋履才获得了全球性的关注。女星 格蕾丝·凯利与丽塔·海华斯竞相效 仿，这款鞋在欧洲与美国的女性中迅 速风靡。 今日，草编鞋则成为夹脚拖鞋与平 底凉鞋更为女性化的替代——腿部装 饰有缠绕绑带的坡跟版本，为沙滩装 束或飘逸夏装平添优雅气息。经典款 草编鞋使用棉布与黄麻绳制作，但近 年来每一季都可见到新的色彩、材质 与款式。虽然如此，最原始的经典款 设计仍是时尚宠儿，顶尖草编鞋制造 商们仍以其忠于历史的手工制作传统 而备受推崇。 Castañer 公司被视为将草编鞋带 入 主 流视 野，并将这 款 鞋 履 打造 得 更为时尚的功臣。自18 世纪家族首名 草编鞋工匠 R a fael Cast a ñer 诞生 起，Cast a ñer 家族就一直从事该行 业。 1927年，家族在Banyoles开设了
90 第一间工作坊，但当时产品依旧主要 针对工人阶级。 直到20世纪60年代，品牌的重心开 始转移。该公司——如今由家族的第 二代Lorenzo Castañer与妻子Isabel 经营— — 开始颠覆基 础的草编鞋设 计，并在变革的过程中获得了艺术家、 演员与其他知名人士的青睐。然而，最 终彻底改变Castañer的设计、并让其 事业腾飞的，还是源于70 年代早期与 伊夫圣罗兰（Yves Saint Laurent）在 巴黎展会上的偶遇。 “伊夫圣罗兰对 我们有着深远的 影响， ”公司目前的男装设计师 Rafael Castañer 表示。 “他总是那么具有前 瞻性，他提出的坡跟鞋的点子简单而 绝妙。”这款灵感来自伊夫圣罗兰的草 编鞋迅速成为热卖款，其后又演化为 在脚踝处缠绕绑带、低帮坡跟的 Carina 款，该款式时至今日都是公司最 受欢迎的鞋款之一。 尽量贴近其西 班 牙血统是公司决 定于1994 年在巴塞罗那设立首间门 店的主要原因之一 — — 该 店由 R a fael的妹妹Cristina设计，并于近日由 Benedetta Tagliabue修葺一新。 “这 座城市从过去到现在都非常国际化， 具有典型的地中海风格，这也是我们 品牌的精神， ”Rafael 表示。自那时起 Castañer不断壮大，在巴黎、东京、香 港和上海等城市分别开设了专卖店。 Castañer 品牌的鞋履深受西班牙 与好莱坞明星的宠爱。佩德罗·阿尔 莫多瓦曾在电影中使用Castañer草编 鞋——其中最出名的，是佩内洛普·克 鲁兹穿着其在电影《火腿、火腿》中的 登场——斯嘉丽·约翰逊则在伍迪· 艾伦的电影《午夜巴塞罗那》中同样 穿着Castañer草编鞋。 每一季，Castañer 都会为产品系 列引入新的材质、色彩与款式，同时 仍忠实于 传 统，其 所有 草 编 鞋 的生 产 制 造 全 部 在 西 班 牙完 成 。“ 草 编 鞋是一款传统、简约又别具魅力的产 globalblue.com
品， ”Rafael解释道。 “在不背离其手工 艺传统与隽永神髓的同时，我们设法 打造更为繁复与奢华的设计。”草编 鞋永远都能唤醒人们的夏日激情，又 为其平添几许优雅。通过保持其西班 牙血统，Castañer不断创造出永不过 时的经典单品。 castaner.com

い。スペインの熱い夏にはもってこい だ。alpargatero（エスパドリーユ職 人）が靴底を作り、針子が黒や生成り のリネンかコットン地でアッパーを縫 い合わせる。スペインには各地域にご 当地版のエスパドリーユがある。例え ば、カタルーニャ伝統のサルダーナダ ンスの踊り子は白のデザインを履くの がしきたりだった。 世界から注目されるようになった のは、1948 年にローレン・バコールが 映画「キー・ラーゴ」でこの靴を履い た時からだ。まもなくグレース・ケリー やリタ・ヘイワースも履くようになり、 ヨーロッパやアメリカで広く人気を集 めた。 現在、エスパドリーユはビーチサン ダルやフラットサンダルの女らしい代 替品となっている。編み上げリボン付 きのウェッジソール版を履けば、ビー チウェアやふわっとしたサマードレス にエレガンスが加わる。この靴の伝統 的なモデルはコットンと縄底が特徴だ が、近年ではシーズン毎に新しい色、 生地、スタイルが登場している。とは いえ、ファッション界のお気に入りは 今でもオリジナルデザインで、エスパ ドリーユの伝統に忠実な手作り製品 を作る主力メーカーがもてはやされて いる。 globalblue.com
カスタニエールは、エスパドリーユ を主流にした企業とよく言われ、ファ ッション性の高いエスパドリーユを生 み出すことでも名高い。カスタニエー ル一族は18世紀から靴業界に関わっ てきた。一族初のエスパドリーユ職 人、ラファエル・カスタニエールが生ま れた時代だ。1927年、バニョラスに最 初の工房をオープンするが、その頃は まだ、主に労働者をターゲットとして いた。 このブランドが方向性を変え始め たのは、1960年代に入ってからだ。現 在は二代目のロレンソ・カスタニエール とその妻のイサベルが経営する同社 は、ベーシックなエスパドリーユのデ ザインにあれこれ手を加え、アーティ ストや俳優、その他の有名人にファン ベースを広げていった。しかし、カスタ ニエールの靴の形を文字通り変え、事 業を変貌させたのは、70年代はじめの パリ・フェアでのイヴ・サンローランと の偶然の出会いだ。 「イヴ・サンローランの影響は大き かった」と、同社の現メンズウェアデ ザイナー、ラファエル・カスタニエール はいう。 「彼の目はいつも未来に向い ていて、彼が思いついたハイヒールウ ェッジのアイデアはとにかく素晴らし いものでした。」イヴ・サンローランの
94 手を借りて生まれたエスパドリーユの スタイルはベストセラーとなり、やがて カリナへと進化していった。くるぶしに 巻いて締めるリボンの付いたローカッ トウェッジヒールのエスパドリーユで、 同社史上最も人気の高いデザインの 一つだ。 1994 年に同社が第一号店（ラファ エルの妹クリスティーナが設計し、最 近ベネデッタ・タリアブーエが改装し た）をバルセロナにオープンすること にした主要因の一つは、スペインの伝 統を大事にしたいという想いだ。 「こ の町はコスモポリタンで地中海の気質 に溢れています。それが当ブランドの 精神です」と、ラファエルはいう。 同 店のオープン以来、カスタニエールは 成長の一途で、パリ、東京、香港、上 海などの都市に店舗をオープンしてい る。 カスタニエールの靴は、スペイン人 もハリウッドスターも同じように虜に している。ペドロ・アルモドヴァルは彼 の映画の中でカスタニエールのエス パドリーユを使っており、 「ハモン、ハ モン」でペネロピ・クルスが履いてい たのが最も有名だ。一方、スカーレッ ト・ヨハンソンもウディ・アレン監督の 「それでも恋するバルセロナ」で履い ている。 カスタニエールでは、毎シーズン新 しい素材や色、スタイルをコレクショ ンに加えているが、伝統を大切にする 点は変わらず、全てのエスパドリーユ をスペインで生産・製造している。 「エ スパドリーユは伝統的でシンプル、チ ャーミングな商品」だとラファエル。 「 その手作り感と時代を超えた魅力を 失うことなく、洗練された高級感のあ るデザインを作り出すことに成功して います。」エスパドリーユは常に夏の 気分にさせるが、どこかエレガンスも 感じさせる。カスタニエールはスペイン に強く根を張ることで、決してすたれ globalblue.com
