NEW CLASSIC Berlin-based design studio Nitz & Schieck uses 3D printing to create jewellery such as this striking geometric ring, which is 3D printed in wax before being cast. The ring, part of the Solitaire collection, embodies strength and elegance. It is reminiscent of a classic ring that might hold a precious solitaire stone – but with the ‘gem’ represented by the shape of facets cast in steel or silver. Nicole Nitz and Sandro Schieck, the designers behind the brand, Save up to 14.5% by shopping tax free, see page 90

Their designs are characterised by strong concepts and clear, geometric shapes and lines.

FULL CIRCLE When André Goerner founded Gentlemen’s Circle, he aimed to create a one-stop shop for everything a man could possibly want, from an old-fashioned shave or a Swiss watch to a tailor-made suit or a quality cigar. The store is styled like a high-end barbershop from the 1920s; solid armchairs and parquet flooring add to the luxurious ambience, while earth tones and softly illuminated onyx counters lend classical masculinity. Michelin-starred chef Kolja Kleeberg has created an exclusive pastry named Gentlemen’s Corner for the store: bite-sized pieces of spiced sourdough rolled in sugar and served hot. Our top tip – enjoy this snack along with a signature gin rickey cocktail from the bar. th Gentlemen’s Circle, Charlottenstrasse 35, 10117 Berlin, +49 (0)30 2007 5470, gentlemens-circle.com

WRANGLE IT Denim brand Wrangler recently opened a store on Alte Schönhauserstrasse in the centre of Berlin, part of an ongoing expansion of its retail network across Germany. The space, which covers 120 square metres, is bright, modern and, of course, minimal: a home that befits Wrangler’s forward-thinking biannual collections for men and women. One of the newest additions to the store is a collection of denim products that city-dwellers can take to the countryside – these classic garments transcend style. rd Wrangler, Alte Schönhauserstrasse 32A, 10119 Berlin, +49 (0)30 2008 9520, wrangler.com FOR M A P GO TO PAGE 88

Following launches in Munich, Hamburg and Sylt, American brand Woolrich has opened a store in Berlin. The 270-square-metre space was designed by prestigious Japanese studio Wonderwall, under the direction of Masamichi Katayama.

Katayama reflects Woolrich’s connection to the outdoors by including floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the two-storey building.

Furnishings combine the heritage and the contemporary – prints, pictures and modern materials and finishes emphasise the brand’s heritage, while showing how it has remained current since it was founded in 1830. rd Woolrich, Fasanenstrasse 74, 10719 Berlin, +49 (0)30 8870 9986, woolrich.eu FOR M A P GO TO PAGE 79

IN STORE: KONK German fashion designers are becoming increasingly prominent on the international stage and the mission of the Konk concept store, located in Berlin’s fashionable Mitte neighbourhood, is to promote the next generation of German talent. Edda Mann, Konk’s owner, is adept at fnding the best of German fashion and design. She talks about her store and its philosophy to SHOP’s fashion editor Ximena Daneri and fashion co-ordinator Fani Mari

‘Berlin is such a creative city, with a very impressive history. I was born in the east of Berlin; it’s my home town. I have a strong need to support creative people living in this wonderful city: this is what I’m doing, and this is what inspires me. The store opened in 2003 and the team is made up of myself and three other wonderful women.

‘I chose this area because many galleries and art spaces are located here. The idea of art manifested in clothes is very important to us at Konk. Also, I like the smaller stores in this neighbourhood. I took Konk over in 2012 and I already loved the design of the store – especially the changing room, which has drawings of trees on the wall by an old student companion of mine, Alexander Wagner.

‘I try to support young and promising Berlin-based designers as well as longtime designers. Every piece is selected carefully and as a result Konk has become a happy, colourful place with many unique pieces that you won’t find anywhere else.

‘When we’re selecting designers, the most important thing is that the designer lives and designs in Berlin and the production is within Europe. Furthermore, it is very important that the clothes, the jewellery, the accessories all tell Save up to 14.5% by shopping tax free, see page 90

‘Konk has become a happy, colourful place with many unique pieces that you won’t find anywhere else’ a story – a story about how a piece is made, the meaning behind the piece.

‘It’s hard to name just a few very special designers. Perhaps I would say Naoko Ogawa and NCA, but there are many, many more. For spring/summer 2016 I am excited about Anntian, Marina Hoermanseder and Penelope’s Sphere. And my favourite trend?

Stripes, stripes, stripes!

‘Katy Perry once visited Konk and that was a surprising and special moment. I have so many great customers who also became friends.’

HAPPENING HOOD Berlin’s vibrant Prenzlauer Berg neighbourhood ofers gourmet food markets, cute cafés and fashion-forward streetwear shops. Sally McIlhone takes a tour

erlin boasts many exciting and intriguing neighbourhoods, from elegant Charlottenburg, with its leafy Schlosspark gardens and the upmarket boutiques of Kurfürstendamm, to the Kreuzberg district, with its abundance of open-all-hours bars and nightclubs. One of the most up-and-coming areas is Prenzlauer Berg, a former bohemian quarter which is now filled with quirky boutiques, busy markets, independent eateries and watering holes galore.

Begin your Prenzlauer Berg adventure by exploring the area’s shopping options. First, seek out an unusual bag at Tausche. The name is a play on the German words for change – tauschen – and bag – tasche – and the

brand offers messenger-style shoulder bags with changeable front panels. The walls of Tausche’s Prenzlauer Berg store are lined with the various options available, showcasing patterned and illustrated panels, some featuring popular Berlin landmarks, as well as textured versions. ‘We opened our shop more than 11 years ago,’ explains Heiko Braun, Tausche’s co-founder. ‘Back then, it was a very vivid area.

A bohemian lifestyle could be found and there were a lot of hipsters. We were among the first to have a fashion store in Helmholtzplatz. The

area has changed a lot. Many families now live here, some hipsters have stayed and there are tourists from all over the world. The area is full of historic flair and you can still sense the past, even though everything is very renovated now.’

Kastanienallee shopping street is the next port of call, for the Flagshipstore fashion emporium and the Above and Dost streetwear boutiques. Flagshipstore offers Berlin-made eco-friendly fashion and clothing from European designers who are less known than they deserve to be. Johanna van den Haak decided to open a boutique here because she spotted a gap in the market. ‘It’s a nice and hip area, but there was one thing missing – a store like ours, which offers real Berlin fashion design and handmade, special accessories for men and women. Especially during summer, we have many customers from overseas. They like the individual things we offer which they won’t find anywhere else.’

Concept stores Above and Dost, opened by long-term friends Mike Gülal and Michael Müller, better known as Mike and Micha,

Above (clockwise from top far lef): Flagshipstore; Above and Dost concept store owners Mike and Micha; one of their minimalist interiors; Tausche boutique; one of the brand’s messenger bags featuring the Berlin skyline

offer a spectacularly curated selection of trainers, accessories, interior design items and clothing from brands such as Huf, Wood Wood, New Balance and Herschel. When Mike and Micha were looking for somewhere to start their retail journey, Prenzlauer Berg was the obvious choice. ‘We always knew about its potential to become a great shopping destination,’ they explain. ‘Prenzlauer Berg is the gentrified, arty neighbourhood that everyone loves to hate because it is so nice. It’s full of bohemian couples, hipsters, cafés, organic food stores and yoga studios. In summer this area is the best.

It’s all happening outside.’

To enjoy some of the best outdoor activities in the district, look no further than the weekend markets. On Saturday morning, visit the Kollwitzplatz area to soak up its relaxed atmosphere and enjoy the delicious food at the weekly farmers’ market. Sample a Thüringer rostbratwurst – spicy sausage – with sauerkraut in a bun or opt for a slice of cake from one of the many bakery stalls. From fresh produce to cheese and sweet treats, there are plenty of edible gifts on offer to bring back for friends and family. On Sunday, the flea market at

For a departure from German cuisine, visit the Bird for delicious burgers and craft beers – try the Birdhouse burger for a truly memorable meal.

Round off your tour of Prenzlauer Berg with a glass of wine at Baden im Wein. This charming little bar offers over 90 hand-selected wines from German and European producers, all chosen by the dedicated owners who are also happy to recommend wines based on customers’ personal tastes.

Talented designers from around the world are setting up in Berlin, attracted by the city’s vibrant creative scene. Hannah Lewis speaks to some of the names to watch

‘Berlin is a city that makes you feel free,’ says Odély Teboul. A French native, Teboul is one half of the talented design duo behind the Augustin Teboul label, and part of a wave of designers and labels moving to Berlin, drawn by the city’s unique creative character.

Though Teboul’s design partner Annelie Augustin is German, it was not her nationality that brought the pair to Berlin; rather, it was a feeling that the city was the place where they 93 / 104

99

/

should launch their label. ‘There’s a great creative scene, it’s great to be surrounded by so many creative minds,’ Teboul explains. ‘The style is very individual, people dare to mix and have a personal touch.’ The city has indeed proved welcoming to the designers, who have won prizes for their creations and now show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.

‘Strong’, ‘feminine’, ‘sophisticated’ and ‘detailed’ are the terms Teboul uses to Lef: Steinrohner spring/summer 2016

58 | F E AT U R E S

Berlin is a melting pot of eclectic cultures and ideas that fosters some of the most exciting fashion design talent in the world describe the Augustin Teboul brand, and all are reflected in its all-black collections, which embrace strong silhouettes. The latest Augustin Teboul collection evokes a tropical storm and juxtaposes geometric lines with the softer theme of plants. The black and white colour scheme is particularly powerful on a polka-dot shirt dress with an asymmetric hem of cascading ruffles. Augustin Teboul’s bold, unique womenswear falls somewhere between ready-to-wear and bespoke, and the Berlin scene has proved the perfect place for the two

designers to explore their idiosyncratic ideas.

Inna Stein and Caroline Rohner, another creative duo, met at the Weissensee school of art in Berlin. On graduating, the pair, who are Russian and Swiss respectively, chose to remain in the city and found the Steinrohner label, which won the 2015 Fashion Council Germany Young Designers’ Award. ‘The city is multicultural and very inspiring,’ they explain.

‘A lot of artists and musicians move to Berlin, turning it into a continuously growing cultural capital with a very vibrant creative scene.’

The two describe Berlin fashion as minimalistic and architectural, with classic influences, and the same could be said of their own creations. The design of their womenswear seems simple and yet there is always something experimental. ‘We like to shape fabrics into seemingly impossible cuts where you might have to look twice to understand how it’s done.’

The spring/summer Steinrohner collection, Relieve the Reef, dips into the underwater world for inspiration, playing with ‘curiosities of colour under the surface’ and loosely

like there were already in New York, London or Paris. People moved here because of this freedom.’

Karaleev’s eponymous label was launched during these years and the flexible, open environment worked well for his fledgling business, which swiftly gained both recognition and commercial success. His aesthetic is, as he puts it, ‘contemporary unconventional’. Like Steinrohner and Augustin Teboul, Karaleev strikes the perfect balance between the esoteric and the commercial. For spring/summer, soft colours and soft tailoring are given an edge with frayed fabric, interesting textures or pops of bold orange and cobalt. A little black dress is

embracing a coral motif throughout. As in Stein and Rohner’s other collections, prints, shapes and textures are experimental, but the overall effect is genuinely wearable. The ideas are bold and new, but an underlying classical element means the clothes will fit easily into most wardrobes.

Vladimir Karaleev came to Berlin 15 years ago to study, moving from his hometown of Sofia in Bulgaria. Now an established name, he has seen the city grow and watched the evolution of its creative scene from uncertain to exciting. ‘Back then, Berlin was looking for its own identity. It was unexplored,’ he recalls.

‘There weren’t rules for fashion, art or music

taken to the next level with unexpected twists and drapes, becoming almost architectural yet somehow still remaining soft. This is an accomplished collection from a seasoned designer who has taken full advantage of the opportunities available in Berlin.

Common to all these designers is the idea of their adopted city as a constant influence on their work. For Karaleev, this is paramount.

‘The place I live influences my work most of all,’ he says. ‘My job is my life.’ After 15 years in the city, the Berlin he sees now is a melting pot that combines the cultures and ideas of everyone who has moved there. This eclectic mix is what drew him and others like him to Berlin – and continues to draw others today, fostering some of the most exciting fashion design in the world

MAKING THE CUT Wempe is celebrating the launch of its signature diamond cut. Ruairidh Pritchard explores the German brand’s sparkling new addition

hen it comes to classic European timepieces, few brands can match the reputation, variety or quality of Wempe. The Hamburg-based family company, which offers its own standout designs as well as a multitude of watches from top international brands, has become an authority on all things horological. In recent years, however, Wempe’s jewellery line has also been turning heads, and with good reason.

The By Kim jewellery range has opened a new chapter in the company’s 135-year history.

It is named after the brand’s charismatic chief executive officer, Kim-Eva Wempe, greatgranddaughter of founder Gerhard Wempe, and the latest collection marks a landmark achievement for the brand, as it launches its very own signature diamond cut.

‘For us as a company, the Wempe-Cut® is a milestone in the development of the jewellery brand,’ explains Anja Heiden, who sits on the Wempe board of directors. ‘The diamond is the most important gemstone for us and with our own cut, we have not only proved our innovative strength and creativity in this field, but have also succeeded in creating

From the exquisite Wempe-Cut® diamonds to the jewellery in which they are set, every piece by Wempe is considered down to the last detail extraordinary added value for our customers.’

The development of the cut itself focused almost entirely on how best to exhibit the quality of the diamonds. All the diamonds are graded with the colour ‘rare white’ or ‘rare white +’ and are classified as either VVS or VS, two of the highest degrees of clarity.

During the design process, the diamond 96 / 102

specialists at Wempe worked with the company’s master diamond cutters to develop a variety of potential cuts. As Heiden explains, ‘It absolutely had to be a round cut – and it had to considerably increase the diamond’s brilliance and light reflection. Three prototypes were manufactured, based on our requirements. One fulfilled all of them and, moreover, it looked

beautiful. That was the one to become the Wempe-Cut®.’

After each new Wempe-Cut® diamond is crafted, every individual stone is certified by Hoge Raad voor Diamant, the world-renowned certification authority and gemmology institute in Antwerp. During this process, some of the world’s leading diamond experts inspect each stone to determine its cut, colour, clarity and carat – the hallowed four Cs on which the diamond industry is built. All the rough stones are certified by the United Nations Kimberley Process, an international scheme that ensures diamonds are appropriately sourced.

The new cut, which appears for the first time in By Kim’s latest jewellery collection Splendora, features a total of 137 facets – an increase from 57 facets in Wempe’s brilliant-cut gems. The 18-carat white gold setting is elegant and understated, ensuring the main focus of the Splendora line is undoubtedly the Wempe-Cut® diamond. The line comprises three standout pieces: a ring, earrings and a pendant.

Above (clockwise from botom far lef): Wempe Splendora pendant; Kim-Eva Wempe; one of the brand’s Berlin stores; Splendora ring featuring the Wempe-Cut® diamond

Each features Wempe-Cut® diamonds of either one, 1.4 or two carats in a four-prong setting, the interior of which features 16 further brilliant-cut 0.09-carat diamonds.

Heiden and the designers at Wempe are set to include the cut across a much wider array of pieces, including bespoke jewellery for some of their most discerning clients. ‘Splendora is the first By Kim line that we will present with the exclusive Wempe-Cut®,’ Heiden explains, ‘but it is certainly not the last. Customers may also have the Wempe-Cut® set in any other setting of their choice.’

This flexibility and open-mindedness, and constant consideration of clients’ wishes, keeps Wempe at the forefront of its field. The brand builds on its long history by constantly pushing forward, enthusiastically pursuing new ideas and new ways to convey its elegant, luxury aesthetic. From the exquisite WempeCut® diamonds to the contemporary yet classic jewellery in which they are set, every piece by Wempe has been considered down to the last detail, and this commitment to true excellence shines through Above (from top): Wempe diamonds awaiting cuting in the brand’s workshop; Splendora earrings; loose-cut diamonds

TABLE TALK Berlin is known for its creativity – not just in fashion and art, but also in food. Fani Mari discovers some of the German capital’s most original places to eat

While traditional German food is hearty and delicious, the country’s dining experience has not always been recognised for its originality or fnesse. This is now changing, particularly in Berlin, where the city’s restaurant scene rivals that of Europe’s more established gastronomic centres. The German capital’s food is rapidly becoming as original and groundbreaking as the art and fashion for which it is already famous.

Thanks to Berlin’s cultural diversity, it ofers a wide range of international restaurants that will impress even the most adventurous eaters, served in an impressively wide variety of venues, from high-end Michelin-starred establishments to quirky, colourful street-food cafés. New openings are frequent, and chefs from around the world have found a warm welcome for distinctive styles that range from classic French, Italian and Swiss to Asian, Japanese and Nordic. Whatever you prefer, you’re sure to fnd it in Berlin – and this might also be the trip when you discover some entirely new favourites. globalblue.com

CHUTNIFY This bright, colourful Prenzlauer Berg hotspot is the place to go for ‘modern traditional Indian food’. The house speciality is the dosa, a South Indian style pancake served with a variety of fillings, side dishes and, of course, chutney. The chefs draw on local and organic produce, and recognise the importance of great quality ingredients, which is why they use, for example, free-range chicken and organic eggs.

Vegetarians are in for a treat in the form of the Mean Green Paneer Dosa, which is packed with pepper, onions and paneer (Indian cheese) marinated in green chutney, then panseared. Meatier offerings include the Keema Mattar Dosa, a spicy combination of minced lamb, peas and fresh mint. There’s also a selection of rice bowls, made fresh to order, and even a Nutella and banana dosa for dessert.

Already a success in Brooklyn, New York, Zenkichi has opened its second branch in Berlin. Decorated with dark wood, bamboo, granite and black pebbles, this intimate Japanese brasserie offers cosy booths for group dining. A variety of salads and tempura vegetables makes Zenkichi a good option for vegetarians. That said, the standout from the menu has to be the sashimi selection, particularly the wonderfully fresh oysters and the black cod, which is faultlessly cooked and flavourful. Expect something a little different from the dessert menu, including black sesame ice cream. The restaurant claims the widest selection of premium sake in Berlin.

monkfish fillet with root vegetables, aniseed and citrus stock. Dishes such as Portobello mushroom tempura with mashed sweet potato, tandoori and wild herbs make great vegetarian options. After 8pm, Crackers becomes more lively, so visitors who want to concentrate on the food might consider dining early. Desserts are a must, with the berry cheesecake particularly recommended.

Modekonstrukt, Eberswalder Strasse 16, 10437 Berlin, +49 (0)30 2435 5167, femkit.de

Berlin-based fashion brand Femkit specialises in elegant, classic designs.

Founded in 2011 by Cindy Schlobinsky, the company eschews fast-paced trends and focuses instead on high-quality materials and careful attention to customer feedback when new products are developed. In August 2014, Schlobinsky opened the Modekonstrukt store in the Prenzlauer Berg neighbourhood. Here clients can discover the collection in a relaxed atmosphere and enjoy an individual consultation. After a little remodelling in 2015, the boutique is once again ready to welcome visitors.

Bucherer has been known for excellence since it opened its first watch and jewellery boutique in Lucerne in 1888, and today it has stores across the globe. The company’s long partnership with Rolex means it offers an unrivalled selection of the brand’s watches, sure to please timepiece aficionados.

Bucherer’s own range of fine jewellery is also not to be missed. Look out for the exquisite La Cerise collection, which includes these ultra-feminine earrings. Their intricate decoration of diamonds and tourmalines charmingly reflects the blooms from which the collection takes its name.

РУССКИЙ ПЕРЕВОД 50: Happening Hood

Район-праздник Салли МакИлхоун рассказывает об энергичном берлинском районе Пренцлауэр-Берг и его гастрономических рынках, очаровательных кафе и бутиках уличной моды Берлин состоит из непохожих друг на друга, но одинаково заманчивых районов. В элегантный Шарлоттенбург едут, чтобы погулять по цветущим садам Schlosspark и дорогим бутикам на Kurfürstendamm. А в Кройцберге круглые сутки открыты многочисленные бары и клубы. Одним из самых интересных и перспективных районов считается Пренцлауэр-Берг – некогда просто богемный, а сейчас наполненный очаровательными магазинами, шумными рынками, независимыми кафе и барами. globalblue.com

Начать путешествие по этим кварталам можно с местных модных бутиков. Мы рекомендуем заглянуть в магазин Tausche и оценить его стильные сумки-мессенджеры со сменной передней панелью. Название бренда обыгрывает два немецких словах: «менять» (tauschen) и «сумка» (tasche). На стенах фирменного магазина в Пренцлауэр-Берге демонстрируются все возможные варианты сменных элементов, где есть и абстрактные узоры, и рисунки, и фотографии берлинских достопримечательностей, и текстуры. «Мы открыли магазин больше 11 лет назад и оказались в числе первых на Helmholtzplatz, – объясняет сооснователь Tausche Хайко Браун. – Тогда в нашем районе кипела богемная жизнь, которая притягивала продвинутую молодежь. За прошедшие годы все вокруг сильно преобразилось. Творческие люди остались, однако преимущественно здесь живут семьи и собираются туристы со всего мира. Однако несмотря на масштабную реставрацию,

92

в этих кварталах до сих пор можно почувствовать атмосферу истории». Еще одно важное место в ПренцлауэрБерге – торговая улица Kastanienallee, на которой расположился универмаг Flagshipstore и бутики стритстайла Above и Dost. Flagshipstore специализируется на экологичной одежде от европейских дизайнеров, не столь известных, как они того заслуживают. Джоанна ван ден Хаак придумала свой проект, почувствовав свободную нишу на местном рынке: «Мы находимся в приятном и стильном месте, но здесь определенно не хватало такого магазина, как наш. Мы предлагаем понастоящему берлинский модный дизайн и хэндмэйд, в частности – мужские и женские аксессуары. У нас много покупателей из других стран, особенно летом. И им нравятся эксклюзивные вещи, которые невозможно найти где-то еще». Концепт-сторы Above и Dost открыли давние друзья Майк Гулал и Михаэль Мюллер, больше известные как Майк и Миха. Они очень тщательно подходят к составлению ассортимента и подбору кроссовок, аксессуаров, интерьерных элементов и одежды таких брендов, как Huf, Wood Wood, New Balance и Herschel. Когда Майк и Миха искали место для своих магазинов, выбор предсказуемо пал на Пренцлауэр-Берг: «Мы сразу чувствовали торговый потенциал этого района, – объясняют они. – Эти облагороженные, живописные кварталы все очень любят ненавидеть, потому что тут все такое чудесное, все эти богемные парочки, хипстеры, кафе, магазины органических продуктов и студии йоги. Летом район буквально расцветает, поскольку вся жизнь выходит на улицу». По выходным под открытым небом открываются рынки. Субботним утром стоит отправиться на фермерский рынок на Kollwitzplatz, где царит непринужденная атмосфера и продаются органические продукты. Непременно попробуйте острую колбаску в булке Türinger Rostbratwurst с кислой капустой или пирог в одной из многочисленных булочных лавочек. Свежие globalblue.com

продукты, сыры и сладости – на этом рынке очень много вкусных подарков для друзей и родных. В воскресенье обязательно посетите блошиный рынок в Mauerpark. Пока вы гуляете по нему в поисках самых интересных предложений, собравшихся неподалеку людей развлекают самые разные музыканты. Кроме того, здесь можно подкрепиться традиционной немецкой едой и пивом. Ценители изысканной кухни тоже найдут для себя кое-что интересное в Пренцлауэр-Берге. Ресторан Skykitchen,

отмеченный звездой Мишлен, сервирует классические немецкие блюда с современным акцентом в интерпретации шеф-повара Александра Коппе. Обратите внимание на меню Voyage Culinaire из восьми блюд, которое объединяет все лучшее, что только может предложить этот ресторан. В поисках традиционного берлинского завтрака отправляйтесь в Café Anna Blume. Это кафе и одновременно цветочная лавка названа в честь стихотворения немецкого художника Курта Швиттерса и предлагает завтрак из трех блюд с фруктами, яйцами, мясом, сыром и хлебом. Чтобы отойти от немецкой кухни, загляните в Bird за вкусными бургерами и крафтовым пивом: с фирменным бургером Birdhouse эта трапеза запомнится надолго. Завершить путешествие по ПренцлауэрБергу можно бокалом вина в Baden im Wein. В меню этого очаровательного маленького бара – более 90 сортов вина: владельцы заведения лично подобрали лучшие

93

предложения немецких и европейских виноделен. Они также будут рады порекомендовать вам что-нибудь исходя из персональных вкусов. Независимые бутики, шумные рынки и заведения со звездами Мишлен – Пренцлауэр-Бергу, определенно, есть что предложить миру. И похоже, миру это интересно.

Второй дом

«Берлин помогает почувствовать себя свободной», – делится Одели Тебуль – француженка по происхождению и соосновательница марки Augustin Teboul. Она – из числа тех дизайнеров, кто переехал в Берлин в поисках знаменитой творческой среды этого города. Над своим брендом Тебуль работает вместе с Аннели Августин, коренной немкой. Однако дуэт выбрал столицу Германии для работы вовсе не поэтому. Скорее, дизайнеров привело предчувствие, что именно в этом городе они должны открыть свою марку. «Здесь удивительная творческая атмосфера. Так приятно работать в окружении множества талантливых людей, – объясняет Тебуль. – Стиль этого города невозможно сравнить ни с чем: люди здесь отваживаются на неожиданные сочетания и самовыражение». Берлин уже не раз подтвердил свою готовность принимать молодых дизайнеров, которые, в свою очередь, завоевывают награды за свои творения и эффектно выступают на Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. «Сильный», «женственный», «обстоятельный», «для людей с тонким вкусом» – все эти характеристики Тебуль приписывает своему бренду Augustin Teboul. И действительно, это можно проследить в дизайнерских комплектах – полностью черных и с ярко выраженным силуэтом. Новая коллекция Augustin Teboul посвящена тропической буре, и для передачи этого

настроения дизайнеры соединили прямые линии с изображениями мягких растений. Черно-белая палитра как прием наиболее эффектно проявляется в платье в горох с асимметричным подолом из кружевного каскада. Особенная одежда Augustin Teboul заполняет нишу между готовой и

выполненной на заказ, и именно Берлин стал идеальным местом для воплощения столь необычных идей. Инна Штайн и Каролин Рохнер встретились в Берлинской высшей школе искусств Вайсензее. Окончив учебу, они не захотели возвращаться в свои родные страны, Россию и Швейцарию, а объединились в творческий дуэт, чтобы остаться в Берлине и основать собственный лейбл – Steinrohner. «Этот мультикультурный город вдохновляет сам по себе, – объясняют они. – Художники и музыканты переезжают в Берлин, превращая его в развивающуюся культурную столицу с активной творческой средой».

Они считают берлинскую моду минималистской, архитектурной и не лишенной классического влияния. Все это справедливо и по отношению к их собственным разработкам. Они создают простую и в то же время экспериментальную одежду: «Нам нравится придавать вещам невозможный, на первый взгляд, крой. Иногда нужно пристально globalblue.com

всматриваться в образ, чтобы осознать, как он сделан». Коллекция сезона весна/лето называется Relieve the Reef и посвящена подводному миру с его «преображением цвета под водной гладью» и коралловыми мотивами. Как и в других коллекциях Steinrohner, принты, формы и текстуры экспериментальны, однако в результате все это складывается в удобные и понятные комплекты. Наряду с новыми идеями, Штайн и Рохнер обращаются и к классике. Таким образом, их одежда легко впишется в большинство гардеробов. Владимир Каралеев родился в Софии (Болгария), а 15 лет назад приехал учиться в Берлин. За эти годы дизайнер сделал себе имя, а также стал свидетелем роста города и эволюции креативной среды – от неустойчивой к многообещающей: «В то время Берлин находился в поиске своей идентичности. Его только предстояло исследовать, – вспоминает он. – Не было своих правил для моды, искусства и музыки, какие уже действовали в Нью-Йорке, Лондоне и Париже. И люди приезжали сюда в поисках этой свободы». Каралеев создал бренд под своим именем, и эта гибкая, открытая среда активно поддержала новый бизнес. Вскоре его марка стала узнаваемой и достигла коммерческого успеха. Свою

95

эстетику дизайнер называет «современной нетрадиционностью». Как Steinrohner и Augustin Teboul, бренд Karaleev старается выдерживать баланс между стилем для избранных и коммерческим интересом. К сезону весна/лето нежные цвета и мягкий крой, характерные для Karaleev, дополняются рваными кромками, интересными текстурами или яркими вспышками оранжевого и кобальтового оттенков. Маленькое черное платье берет новый уровень благодаря неожиданным складкам: теперь это почти архитектурный, но все еще сохраняющий плавность силуэт. Словом, этот опытный дизайнер, в полной

мере задействующий все возможности Берлина, создал новую цельную коллекцию. Всех молодых творцов объединяет ощущение, что Берлин постоянно влияет на их творчество. Каралеев вообще считает этот процесс ключевым: «Место, где я живу, воздействует на мою работу больше всего, – говорит он. – Моя работа – это моя жизнь». Прожив в Берлине 15 лет, он называет город плавильным котлом, который объединяет культуру и идеи всех, кто приезжает сюда. Столь эклектичная смесь влечет его и таких, как он, в современную столицу Германии. И потому самый интересный модный дизайн будет процветать.

62: Making The Cut

Новая грань

Семейная компания Wempe, основанная в Гамбурге, на протяжении многих лет удерживает лидерские позиции в часовом деле. Ее предложения включает как часы собственной разработки, так и модели иностранных брендов. Умело сочетая репутацию, качество и разнообразие, Wempe сохраняет статус непререкаемого авторитета, когда речь идет о часах. При этом в последние годы все чаще обращает на себя внимание и ювелирная линия этого бренда, и на то есть веские причины. С ювелирной серии By Kim началась новая глава в 135-летней истории Wempe. Она получила свое названа в честь харизматичного исполнительного директора компании Ким-Евы Вемпе, праправнучки основателя Герхарда Вемпе. Новая коллекция Splendora в этой серии ознаменовала важный момент в истории бренда: Wempe представляет собственную бриллиантовую огранку. «Для нас как для компании WempeCut® – это веха в развитии ювелирного направления, – объясняет Ана Хайден, член совета директоров Wempe. – Алмаз – самый важный для нас камень. А благодаря собственной огранке, мы не только демонстрируем творческий подход и созидательную силу в своей сфере, но и предлагаем необыкновенную дополнительную ценность нашим клиентам». Все алмазы, с которыми работает этот ювелирный дом, относятся к группам rare white и rare white+ по цвету, а также соответствуют самым высоким степеням чистоты VVS и VS. Поэтому разрабатывая новую огранку, Wempe стремится продемонстрировать высокое качество драгоценного камня. Варианты прорабатывали лучшие эксперты по бриллиантам и огранщики globalblue.com

PHOTO: ALBAYRAK-PHOTOGRAPHY.COM

Руайрид Притчард рассказывает о фирменной огранке бриллиантов Wempe, премьера которой состоялась в новой ювелирной коллекции бренда

из мастерских Wempe. «Со всей определенностью огранке нужно было придать круглую форму. Она должна была существенно улучшить естественный блеск алмаза и игру света. В соответствии с этими требованиями были созданы три прототипа. И один из них удовлетворял сразу всем задачам, более того, он чудесно смотрелся. Он и стал Wempe-Cut®», – комментирует Хайден. После обработки каждый бриллиант с огранкой Wempe-Cut® проходит обязательную сертификацию геммологического института Hoge Raad voor Diamant в Антверпене, чья экспертиза признана во всем мире. В

97

позициях. Опираясь на богатую историю, этот бренд неуклонно двигается вперед. Он всегда с энтузиазмом приветствует новые идеи и возможности транслировать свою элегантную эстетику. Бриллианты с оригинальной огранкой Wempe-Cut®, классические, но современные украшения, – Wempe прорабатывает все до мельчайших деталей. И эта преданность своему мастерству освещает каждое творение бренда. рамках сертификации специалисты мирового уровня исследуют каждый камень в лаборатории и подтверждают его огранку, цвет, чистоту и каратность – главные показатели в бриллиантовой индустрии. Необработанные алмазы также проходят сертификацию по специальной международной системе United Nations Kimberley Process, которая подтверждает правильное происхождение камней.

Wempe-Cut® подразумевает 137 граней, что существенно больше традиционных 57, применяемых к драгоценным камням Wempe. Коллекция Splendora удостоилась чести впервые представить новую огранку аудитории. Оправа из белого золота 750 пробы выглядит спокойно и лаконично, и это еще раз подтверждает, что в центре внимания компании теперь бриллиант Wempe-Cut®. Коллекцию образует комплект из кольца, серег и подвески. Акцентом каждого предмета стал бриллиант Wempe-Cut® одного, 1,4 или двух карат. Во внутреннюю часть оправы с четырьмя зубцами дополнительно встроено 16 ограненных бриллиантов 0,09 карат. Хайден и дизайнеры Wempe готовятся использовать бриллианты с фирменной огранкой и в других украшениях, в том числе – в выполненных на заказ для самых взыскательных клиентов. «Splendora – это первая линия By Kim с эксклюзивной огранкой Wempe-Cut®, – объясняет Хайден.

– И конечно, не последняя. Кроме того, заказчики смогут выбирать и другую оправу для Wempe-Cut® на свой вкус». Гибкость, открытость и пристальное внимание к пожеланиям клиентов – вот что удерживает Wempe на лидерских

56: Home From Home 心安是归处 才华横溢的设计师们无不为柏林城内盎然的创意所 吸引，纷纷从世界各地来此创业。Hannah Lewis与 其中一些佼佼者深入交谈 “柏林是一座会让你感到自由的城市，”法国设计师 Odély Teboul如是说，他便是Augustin Teboul品 牌背后的天才设计师二人组当中的一位。一大批设 计师和品牌被柏林的独创性吸引而来，Teboul也是 其中的一员。 尽管Teboul的设计师伙伴Annelie Augustin 是德国人，这对搭档却并非由于Augustin的国籍 才前往柏林，而是因为他们有一种感觉——柏林 才应当是他们品牌的诞生地。“能在这座创意盎然 的城市，被这么多思维新颖的人包围，真是妙不可 言，”Teboul解释道。“这里的设计风潮非常独特， 人们敢于混搭，敢于在造型上突出个性。”柏林也确 实向这两位设计师们敞开了怀抱——他们的作品已 经屡获殊荣，目前正在梅赛德斯·奔驰（MercedesBenz）时装周上亮相。 Teboul用“强烈”、“女性化”、“干练”、“注 重细节”这些词来描述Augustin Teboul这个品 牌。全黑系列中的浓重剪影，将这些特征尽显无 遗。Augustin Teboul的最新系列产品中，几何线条 与柔软的植物主题相得益彰，引发了一场热带风暴。 不对称的花边从波点衬衫裙底倾泻而下，让黑白图 案更具张力。Augustin Teboul女装大胆而独特，款 式介于便服和定制版之间。创意无限的柏林，果然 是这两个设计师探索超凡理念的完美之地。 Inna Stein和Caroline Rohner这两位创意 组合，一个来自俄罗斯，一个来自瑞士。从柏林 Weissensee艺术学校毕业后，他们没有各自归乡，而 是选择留在柏林成立自己的品牌Steinrohner。“这 座城市拥有多元的文化，能给人带来许多灵感，”他们 说道，“艺术家和音乐家们来到柏林，把它变成了一个 不断成长、创意盎然的文化之都。” 用他们的话来说，柏林时尚既简约又带有建筑 之美，散发着古典的魅力。其实，他们自己设计的 女装也可作如此评价——貌似简单，却总带着一些 试验性。“我们喜欢把织物剪裁成貌似不可能的样 式，乍一看并不容易理解它的设计过程。”深入内衣 世界寻找灵感的Steinrohner春夏系列“暗礁解脱 （Relieve the Reef）”，借助“对表层之下的色彩的

100

好奇心”，始终大胆地以珊瑚色为主题。在Stein和 Rohner的其他系列作品中，印花、图形和纹理都极 具试验性，但整体效果却很适宜日常穿着。尽管他 们设计理念大胆而新潮，但潜藏其中的经典元素却 让这些服饰成为了百搭之选。 15年前，保加利亚人Vladimir Karaleev从他 的家乡索菲亚前来柏林求学。如今名声在外的他， 见证了这座城市的成长，也见证了其中的创意景象 从初露端倪发展到如火如荼。“当时的柏林尚未被探 索过，它正寻觅着自己的身份，”他回忆道。“在当时 的柏林，时尚、艺术或音乐不像在纽约、伦敦或巴黎 一样被条条框框束缚，于是人们为了这种自由而搬 到了这里。” 这些年来，Karaleev创立了自己的同名品牌。 他的新兴事业与灵活、开放的环境十分契合，他也 借此迅速被圈内认可，并在商界大获成功。用他 自己的话来说，他的审美就是“当代的非传统”。和 Steinrohner 和Augustin Teboul一样，Karaleev 实现了小众与商业的完美平衡。春夏系列作品中，柔 软的色调和裁剪因为加入了磨边处理、灵巧的纹理 或亮橘、钴蓝色块而风采倍增。出人意料的编织和 褶痕，则将小黑裙提升到了更高的层次，仿佛散发 着建筑的气息，却又不知为何柔软如故。这位经验丰 富的设计师充分地利用了柏林给予他的机会，来完 成这个系列。 这些设计师往往都认为，庇佑他们的这座城市 对他们的作品有着持续的影响。对Karaleev来说， 这一点至关重要。“我居住的地方对我的作品影响最 大，”他说道。“我的职业就是我的生活。”在柏林待了 15年后，这座城市在他眼中已然是一个大熔炉，把来 到此地的所有人的文化和理念都融汇在一起。这样 的包容有着至今不衰的魅力，不仅驱使着他，还吸引 着像他一样的其他人来到柏林；许多世界上最激动 人心的时尚设计，也正是因此才得以诞生。

62: Making The Cut 完美切割

Wempe发布了独一无二的钻石切工术。Ruairidh Pritchard带您深入了解这家德国品牌的最新亮点 说到经典欧洲时计，少有品牌能在声望、种类和质 量上与Wempe相较。这家扎根于汉堡的家族企 业如今已成为钟表界之权威，不仅经营自家设计 的精品时计，也销售各大顶级国际品牌的腕表。不 过，近些年来，Wempe的珠宝系列同样收获了不 少赞誉。

By Kim 珠宝系列为品牌135年的历史开启了全 新的篇章。该系列以品牌创始人Gerhard Wempe 的曾孙女、现任首席执行官Kim-Eva Wempe之名 globalblue.com

命名；最近，By Kim还发布了独一无二的钻石切 工，堪称Wempe品牌的重要里程碑。 “对于公司而言，Wempe - Cut ®是我们珠宝品 牌发展的一大里程碑，” Wempe董事会成员Anja Heiden解释道。“钻石是我们最重要的宝石，通过 我们的自主切割，我们不仅证明了Wempe在珠宝 领域中的创新实力和创造力，也成功为我们的顾客 带来了无与伦比的附加价值。” Wempe - Cut ®的研发重心几乎全部集中于 如何最好地呈现钻石的品质。所有的钻石都有 严格分级，以颜色而论，可分为“接近无色”（rare white）或“无色”（rare white +）；从净度的层面来 说，VSS（极微瑕级）和VS（瑕疵级）则是最高的 两个等级。 在设计过程中，Wempe的钻石专家与公司的钻 石切割大师携手，共同研究各种可能的切割方式。 正如Heiden所说，“我们必须要采用圆形切割—— 而且还要显著提高钻石的明亮度和反光程度。根据

件引人注目的作品：一枚戒指、一对耳饰和一枚坠 饰。每一件单品都饰有1.4克拉或2克拉的Wempe Cut ®钻石，以四爪台镶嵌，四爪台内还饰有16枚更 加明亮的0.09克拉小钻。 Heiden 和Wempe旗下的设计师们打算将 Wempe - Cut ®切工用于各类作品，其中包括为 眼光最卓绝的顾客打造的定制珠宝。“Wempe Cut ®将在By Kim的Splendora系列当中首次亮 相，” Heiden解释道，“但这肯定不会是它的最后一 次亮相。顾客也可以随意选择将Wempe - Cut ®钻 石镶嵌在其他产品之中。” 如此灵活的设计、开放的思想和对顾客愿景 的尊重让Wempe 一直走在所涉领域的最前沿。品 牌不断向前推进，以悠久的历史为根基，饱含热情 地以新颖的想法和方式传达其优雅而奢华的美学 理念。从精致的Wempe - Cut ®钻石，到镶嵌着这 些钻石、经典而不失当代美感的珠宝，每一件作品 的每一个细节都经过了设计师的深思熟虑，亦将 Wempe对卓越的不懈追求展露无余。
