PRETTY AS A PICTURE Veteran designer and illustrator Wolfgang Joop’s Wunderkind label, which he founded in 2003, celebrates the meeting of art and fashion in typically unconventional style. For the brand’s spring/summer 2017 collection, Joop has created an array of fluid, feminine

silhouettes inspired by one of celebrated Spanish artist Diego Velázquez’s series of portraits of the Infanta Margarita Teresa. A strong focus on cut results in architectural pieces that have been purposely deconstructed to celebrate the virtues of craftsmanship. As demonstrated to perfection by this covetable sleeveless dress,

MY FAVOURITES: MARCELL VON BERLIN Designer Marcell von Berlin’s eponymous label, which he founded in 2011, has become known for its distinctive look, which cleverly blends feminine silhouettes – think fitted bodices and flared skirts – with sportswear influences. Its covetable collections are aimed at the modern woman who wants to wear luxurious clothes with a contemporary twist. The man behind the label shares his insider tips for spring/summer 2017 with Fani Mari

2. ‘Balenciaga’s practical and sophisticated Ikea bag will be my most-used item this season. Whenever I shopped in Ikea, I wondered who would give its bag new life, and now it has happened thanks to Demna Gvasalia’

With its structural elements, clean lines and contemporary feel, the store echoes Jil Sander’s ethos and visual identity to perfection.

such as jewel-shaped bronze tables displaying the brand’s accessories, with synthetic materials. One of these is resin, used to make wall panels resembling compacted snow, which serves as an elegant backdrop for the brand’s strikingly modern garments characterised by innovative materials and

BACK TO THE FUTURE For spring/summer 2017, MCM has collaborated with British designer Christopher Raeburn on a unisex capsule collection that brings his sustainable approach to iconic pieces by the German leather goods brand. MCM’s distinctive Visetos canvas forms the basis of the collection, to which Raeburn’s has applied his ‘Remade’ concept, a process of deconstructing items in order to make new ones. The collection encompasses clothing as well as various bags, from belt bags to large totes. MCM – short for Modern Creation München – celebrated its 40th anniversary last year and this collaboration is an opportunity to explore the brand’s origins while looking to its future. grc MCM, Rosenthaler Strasse 38, 10178 Berlin, +49 (0)30 2849 3793, mcmworldwide.com FOR M A P GO TO PAGE 56

SMALL TALK Since Nicolas Ghesquière introduced the style for autumn/winter 2014/15, the Petite Malle – a riff on Louis Vuitton’s iconic leather trunks – has definitely become an ‘It’ bag. This season sees the brand take the design a step further with the launch of its Petite Malle phone cases. Available for iPhone 7 and iPhone 7+, the cases feature the label’s distinctive Monogram and Monogram Reverse (pictured) canvases finished off with hardware detailing. As the latest must-have technology accessory, these miniature versions of the historic trunk root Louis Vuitton firmly in the 21st century. grc Louis Vuitton, Kurfürstendamm 56-57, 10707 Berlin, +49 (0)30 882 5272, louisvuitton.com FOR M A P GO TO PAGE 46

Berlin’s forward-looking eyewear brands have never been afraid to push boundaries, and their innovative products have won them fans around the world, as Ruairidh Pritchard discovers

Seeing Is F

or decades, Germany’s best designers – of everything from cars to fashion – have found a way to marry technical innovation with sleek good looks, and this is increasingly true in the world of eyewear. Berlin in particular has become an epicentre of cool brands that have won acclaim across the globe for their on-trend designs, forward-thinking manufacture and skilful craftsmanship. ‘German manufacturing is world-famous, 59

to the point where “Made in Germany” is synonymous with top quality and precision craftsmanship,’ explains Justin Hofmann of Berlin-based eyewear brand IC Berlin. Hofmann believes the secret of the city’s success in eyewear is down to the character of the designers who call it home. ‘Berlin has historically been a free and liberal city, and so it follows that it attracts creative thinkers,’ he says. ‘The freedom to be who you want to be, or to recreate yourself,

Believing fosters an amazing creative vibe in Berlin, which leads to some amazing product design.’ IC Berlin is one of the most innovative eyewear brands in Europe, famed for its screwless frame design. As Hofmann explains, ‘the hinge is the heart of every IC Berlin frame.’ The fewer moving parts a frame has, he continues, ‘the less there is to go wrong. No screws means nothing can work loose, fall out, seize or break. Because the temples can pop off Above: Herrlicht glasses

and on so easily and quickly, it means that our glasses have withstood being sat on, trodden on, and even driven over with a car or, in one case, a ride-on lawnmower.’ IC Berlin’s screwless design exemplifies the marriage of technical ingenuity and beautiful design that has put Berlin on the eyewear map, and marrying those two aspects isn’t an easy process. ‘It’s a fine balance,’ says Hofmann, ‘but the IC Berlin aesthetic is a very strong

and precise one. We listen to the demands and needs of our customers while always keeping our design philosophy at the forefront: form follows function.’ Another of Berlin’s leading eyewear brands is Herrlicht, which has become known for its beautifully handcrafted wooden frames. ‘I had, and have, been fascinated by the material and had worked with it for some time before I had the idea of making wooden glasses’, explains designer Andreas Licht. ‘It is a wonderful material to use: it is warm and individual; it can be raw or refined. When I began a decade ago, I did pioneering work. I had the ambition to let it not be just one part of the frames, but the only component. It was a challenging and interesting thing to do.’ For Licht, an experienced joiner,

craftsmanship is at the forefront of everything he does. In the brand’s Berlin workshop, each pair of frames passes through Licht’s hands multiple times during the complex manufacturing process, ensuring that the final result is perfect. ‘I think objects made with real craftsmanship bring a certain beauty with them anyway. But of course making these frames also means seeking the best possible way to bring the technical and the aesthetic side together.’ As to why traditional spectacles are still popular the world over in an age of contact lenses and laser eye surgery, Licht believes that, ‘for many people glasses simply are an essential accessory. They can be used as a fashion statement, like jewellery.’ This idea of frames as fashion can also be seen at one of Berlin’s longest-established

eyewear brands, Cazal. Founded in 1975 by designer Cari Zalloni and entrepreneur Günter Böttcher, Cazal was one of the first truly design-focused eyewear brands in Germany. The pair worked from a ‘style first’ perspective, and Cazal’s extravagant designs paved the way for its 40-year success story. ‘There are a few very “old” producers of eyewear in Germany,’ explains Cazal’s managing director, Beate Obersteiner. ‘They created outstanding and unique designs in the 1970s and 80s. Our brand Cazal is the most famous out of these – a real collector’s brand.’

From pioneering design techniques to unconventional materials, Berlin’s leading names are creating some of the most innovative eyewear today Cazal’s distinctive, fashion-forward frames have grown in popularity throughout the decades, even becoming something of a status symbol in the world of hip hop, with fans including 80s legends Run DMC and popular American rapper Rick Ross. ‘Cazal is one of the brands that has been among the must-haves of really hip people,’ says Obersteiner. ‘Musicians, artists, actors, politicians – they appreciate the unique design which is far removed from trivial fashion trends.’ Add to this the fact that all Cazal creations are impeccably made in Germany, and it’s not hard to see why the brand has had such continued success.

n the rapidly changing world of modern retail, the department store is finding new ways to endure. Famed for offering everything one could possibly desire under one roof, modern shopping emporia must also be enticing enough to charm customers from their homes and away from the ease of online shopping. Berlin’s KaDeWe has shown itself to be particularly adept at this task, as have its sister stores Oberpollinger in Munich and Hamburg’s Alsterhaus. In order to ensure this continues, the KaDeWe Group is in the midst of overhauling the look and feel of all three

of its retail wonders. It aims to revolutionise the department store concept and bring it firmly into the 21st century. As CEO André Maeder explains, ‘Our department stores are great theme parks, places where you will find extraordinary quality, inspiration, pleasure, styling, entertainment and outstanding service. In competing with international stores and online shopping, the three stores are and will remain the attraction of the future.’ Pritzker Prize-winning architect Rem Koolhaas of OMA (Office for Metropolitan Architecture) has been selected to renovate

women’s fashion quadrant on the second floor, and men’s shoes and accessories on the first. Mahdavi’s soft pink carpets, graduated stone flooring, graphic Bauhaus-style clothing rails and scattered side tables create the feel of a perfectly curated concept store and complement the brands on offer, which include Céline, Balenciaga and Chloé. Architectural firm Storage Milano turned its hand to designing the men’s accessories quadrant, and has given it a sleek, modern and modular layout. Seek out Ted Baker, Valentino, Dries Van Noten and Hugo Boss, among other suave and sophisticated brands. KaDeWe has always been dedicated to displaying the latest trends in fashion, lifestyle and design, and these new floors serve to prove that it can continue to be a leading light of the world’s international department stores. Customers can navigate their way between quadrants thanks to four distinctive concourses with intriguingly designed escalators – the most captivating of which is presented in a concentric circle. This highly original concourse will connect KaDeWe’s

the KaDeWe store, following on from his work on the stunning Fondazione Prada in Milan in 2015. His concept for the Berlin department store sees the building’s 60,000 square metres reimagined as four quadrants, each with its own separate entrance and central atrium, which are tailored to individual customer groups and designed with them in mind. The first phase of the reconstruction, on the side facing Tauentzienstrasse, was completed late last year. The windows were enlarged, echoing the large central glass arch that tops the store, as well as giving a nod to the large windows that the first Kaufhaus des Westens – to give it its full name – had when it opened in 1907. In contrast, the store’s new main entrance, with its mirrored glass and gold and silver touches, offers a modern counterpoint. The store has been keen to take this step into the future while paying tribute to its illustrious history, and it is details such as this that show how the past and present can be married harmoniously. In addition, two of the interior quadrants are now open: the India Mahdavi-designed

interior to its new rooftop restaurant and its final ramp offers stunning views of the city. Lifts will allow visitors to access the delights of the seventh floor, which is due to boast a variety of eateries and bars, and will remain open even after the rest of the store is closed. An open-air garden is also planned, which will provide visitors with a sneak peek into the gourmet floor’s kitchen. Those touring the rest of Germany should be sure to visit Hamburg’s Alsterhaus and marvel at the new Luxury Hall, which will showcase bags by the likes of Saint Laurent and Fendi, jewellery from Bucherer and edible treats from Fortnum & Mason. Over at Oberpollinger in Munich, urbanwear concept The Storey opened late last year, bringing together modern fashion icons such as bomber jackets from Alpha Industries and trainers by Vor. Designed by Gonzalez Haase AAS, the space provides visitors with the chance to discover the latest hip brands in the most stylish of surroundings. Renovations at KaDeWe will continue

With its newly opened quadrants, enticing windows and plans for the future, it’s a perfect time to visit until 2018, with new elements being unveiled over the course of next year. The KaDeWe Group is focused on ensuring the in-store developments do not impinge upon the customer experience, so much of the construction is taking place after hours to minimise the disruption. KaDeWe celebrates its 110th anniversary in 2017. With its newly opened quadrants, enticing windows and exciting plans for the future, there’s never been a better time to visit

NAVYBOOT Head to Navyboot’s store in the Mitte district to discover footwear that showcases the Swiss brand’s exacting attention to detail. Its accessories are just as cleverly designed and made. This metallic tote (from €299), for instance, is a perfectly sized leather shopper for your trip to Berlin. It stands out thanks to its long fringing details, and takes practicality into consideration with its small white zipped wallet that’s handily attached to the bag via a clasp.

34: Seeing Is Believing Кристальный взгляд

Смелые берлинские бренды дизайнерских аксессуаров никогда не останавливались на достигнутом, что помогло им завоевать широкую аудиторию поклонников по всему миру, – рассказывает Руайрид Притчард В течение многих десятилетий лучшие немецкие дизайнеры из самых разных сфер, от автомобилестроения до моды, успешно сочетают современные технологии с безупречным дизайном. Не стала исключением и индустрия оптических приборов. Столица Германии играет особую роль среди оптических брендов, многие из которых получили всемирное признание, благодаря стильному дизайну, инновационному производству и непревзойденному мастерству. «Немецкая промышленность не нуждается в рекламе, ну а ярлык „Сделано в Германии“ уже давно является знаком первоклассного качества и редкого мастерства», – поясняет Юстин Хофманн из берлинской оптической марки IC Berlin. Хофманн полагает, что секрет успеха оптической индустрии кроется в характере местных дизайнеров. «Берлин с давних пор был свободным и либеральным городом, поэтому неудивительно, что сейчас он привлекает людей с творческим складом ума, – говорит он. – Свобода быть тем, кем ты хочешь, способствует созданию креативной атмосферы в Берлине, что, в свою очередь, дает плоды в виде великолепных дизайнерских решений». IC Berlin – один из самых инновационных

брендов оптики в Европе, получивший широкую известность, благодаря оригинальной безвинтовой конструкции оправ. «Особое крепление дужек – главная изюминка всех оправ IC Berlin, – поясняет Хофманн. – Чем меньше в конструкции двигающихся деталей, тем меньше шансов, что что-то пойдет не так. Отсутствие винтов означает, что ничего не будет болтаться, отваливаться, цепляться и ломаться. Дужки можно с легкостью снять, поэтому очкам не страшно, если на них сядут, наступят, переедут машиной или, как однажды случилось, пройдутся газонокосилкой». Безвинтовая конструкция IC Berlin, идеально совместившая в себе техническую гениальность и изящный дизайн, позволила берлинским производителям заявить о себе на весь мир. «Это золотая середина, – комментирует Хофманн эстетику прочной конструкции IC Berlin. – Мы всегда прислушиваемся к нуждам наших покупателей и отводим первостепенное значение нашей философии: форма следует за функциональностью». Другой ведущий берлинский бренд оптики – Herrlicht, ставший популярным по всему миру, благодаря изящным деревянным оправам. «Я всегда всегда был очарован этим материалом, но немало воды утекло прежде, чем возникла идея создавать деревянные оправы для очков, – поясняет дизайнер Андреас Лихт. – Это замечательный материал, теплый и индивидуальный; его можно использовать как в сыром, так и в обработанном виде. Когда я только начинал заниматься производством, а это было лет десять назад, я чувствовал себя настоящим первооткрывателем. Я планировал использовать дерево не как один из материалов для создания оправы, но как единственный материал для создания оправы. Это была не простая, но увлекательная задача». Лихт – опытный столяр со стажем, и мастерство для него превыше всего. В берлинской мастерской дизайнер лично проверяет каждую оправу по несколько раз, чтобы убедиться в том, что конечный продукт будет идеальным. «Я считаю, что

умело сделанные продукты уже несут в себе определенную эстетику. Но, конечно, при работе с оправами мы делаем все возможное, чтобы найти баланс между техническим и эстетическим аспектом». Что касается вопроса неугасающей популярности очков в век контактных линз и лазерной хирургии, то Лихт уверен, что «для многих людей очки остаются важным аксессуаром. Подобно украшениям, они помогают подчеркнуть индивидуальность». Идея о том, что очки могут быть модным аксессуаром очевидна для одного из старейших берлинских брендов Cazal. Эта компания, основанная в 1975 году дизайнером Кари Заллони и предпринимателем Гюнтером Бёттхером, была одной из первых в Германии, где дизайну было уделено должное внимание. Для создателей основным приоритетом выступал стильный дизайн, благодаря которому марке Cazal удавалось сохранять популярность в течение всей сорокалетней истории. «В Германии имеется несколько довольно „старых“ производителей оптических приборов, – рассказывает генеральный директор Cazal, Беате Оберштайнер. – Они создавали выдающиеся и уникальные модели в 1970-х и 80-х годах. Наш бренд Cazal возглавляет этот список по популярности и выпускает продукцию действительно достойную коллекционеров». Стильные и узнаваемые оправы Cazal набирали известность в течение десятилетий, став своеобразным символом статуса в мире хип-хопа; среди поклонников бренда такие легенды 80-х, как Run-D.M.C. и Рик Росс. «Cazal относится к числу тех брендов, которые считаются „маст-хэвом“ среди настоящих хипстеров, – говорит Оберштайнер. – Музыканты, художники, актеры, политики – все они ценят уникальный дизайн, далекий от тривиальных модных тенденций». Остается лишь вспомнить, что все изделия Cazal создаются исключительно в Германии, и секрет успеха бренда станет очевиден. Ведущие берлинские бренды, использующие новаторские дизайнерские техники и оригинальные материалы, создают наиболее интересные, инновационные и узнаваемые очки на сегодняшний день. globalblue.com

38: The Future’s Bright Яркое будущее Культовый берлинский универмаг KaDeWe проходит полную реставрацию, и результаты впечатляют. Салли МакИлхоун узнала подробности В стремительно меняющемся мире современного ритейла универмаг находит новые способы удержаться на плаву. Несмотря на изобилие всех мыслимых товаров, собранных под одной крышей, современный торговый центр должен быть достаточно привлекателен, чтобы заманить покупателей, привыкших к онлайн-шоппингу. Берлинский KaDeWe решил подойти к этому вопросу глобально, а его примеру последовали и другие универмаги, включая Oberpollinger в Мюнхене и Alsterhaus в Гамбурге. Торговая сеть KaDeWe Group проводит комплексную реставрацию трех своих универмагов. Основная задача – радикально изменить концепцию универмага и адаптировать ее к вызовам 21 века. Директор сети Андре Маедер поясняет: «Наши универмаги представляют из себя большие тематические парки, предлагающие посетителям исключительное качество, вдохновение, стиль, удовольствия, развлечения и отличное обслуживание. Несмотря на конкуренцию с международными бутиками и интернет-магазинами, наши три универмага есть и всегда будут привлекательны». Дизайнер Рем Коолхаас из компании OMA (Office for Metropolitan Architecture), получивший престижную Притцкеровскую премию за достижения в области архитектуры, был выбран для проведения реставрационных работ KaDeWe. В 2015 году архитектор успешно закончил свой великолепный проект Fondazione Prada в Милане. Его концепт для берлинского универмага предусматривает разделение здания площадью 60 000 м2 на четыре квадранта с отдельными входами и одним центральным атриумом. Каждый сектор имеет свой дизайн и посвящен нуждам определенных групп покупателей. Первый этап реконструкции фасада на Tauentzienstrasse был завершен в конце

прошлого года. Окна были значительно увеличены, чтобы соответствовать большому стеклянному куполу на крыше магазина, а также напомнить о крупных окнах самого первого универмага Kaufhaus des Westens (именно так расшифровывается его название), открытого в 1907 году. Новый главный вход, украшенный зеркальными стеклами и золотыми и серебряными деталями, придал общей конструкции современную полифонию. Универмаг был заинтересован в таких смелых переменах, но при этом дизайнеру удалось отдать дань славной истории бренда, доказав, что прошлое и настоящее могут гармонично ужиться вместе. Два сектора обновленного универмага уже открыты для посещения: отдел женской одежды на втором этаже, интерьер которого был спроектирован студией India Mahdavi и отдел мужской обуви и аксессуаров на первом. Мягкие розовые ковры, изящная каменная плитка на полу, оригинальные вешалки для одежды и ажурные столики, расставленные повсюду, создают атмосферу идеального концепт-стора и дополняют представленные бренды, среди которых Céline, Balenciaga и Chloé. Архитектурное бюро Storage Milano приняло участие в дизайне отдела мужских аксессуаров, придав ему стильный, современный и модульный облик. Наряду с хорошо подобранным ассортиментом престижных брендов, здесь можно встретить коллекции таких марок, как Ted Baker, Valentino, Dries Van Noten и Hugo Boss. KaDeWe всегда славился отличным подбором последних трендов моды, лайфстайла и дизайна, и эти новые этажи лишний раз доказывают, что универмаг не потерял свое первенство среди знаменитых универмагов всего мира. Посетители могут легко сориентироваться в пространстве торгового центра, благодаря четырем своеобразным галереям и оригинально спроектированным эскалаторам, самый впечатляющий из которых сделан в виде концентрической окружности. Оригинальные залы соединяют интерьер KaDeWe с новым рестораном на крыше, откуда открываются захватывающие виды на город. При помощи лифта можно будет попасть на седьмой этаж,

где даже после закрытия универмага гостей будут ждать несколько баров и кафе. Также планируется сад под открытым небом, где можно будет отведать гурманскую кухню. éсли вы собираетесь посетить Гамбург, то обязательно загляните в универмаг Alsterhaus, чтобы полюбоваться на новый зал Luxury Hall, где представлена серия сумок Saint Laurent и Fendi, ювелирные украшения Bucherer и деликатесы Fortnum & Mason. В мюнхенском Oberpollinger можно застать новую экспозицию мультибрендового бутика городской одежды The Storey, открывшегося в конце прошлого года. Здесь вас ждет множество культовых вещей, включая куртки-бомберы Alpha Industries и кроссовки VOR. Необыкновенно стильный интерьер, выполненный студией Gonzalez Haase AAS, предлагает посетителям возможность окунуться в мир актуальных хипстерских брендов. Весь следующий год нас ждут новые открытия в рамках модернизации универмагов KaDeWe, которая продлится до 2018 года. KaDeWe Group прилагает максимум усилий, чтобы реконструкция не отразилась на качестве обслуживания клиентов, поэтому все текущие работы проводятся после закрытия магазинов. В 2017 году марке KaDeWe исполняется 110 лет, и, если учесть появление новых залов, роскошных окон и интригующих планов на будущее, то, возможно, сейчас настал самый удачный момент, чтобы посетить один из ее знаменитых универмагов. 58: When You Shop The World, Shop Tax Free Совершая покупки по всему миру, совершайте их с Tax Free Услуги Global Blue Tax Free Shopping позволят вам сэкономить на покупках в более чем 300 000 магазинах, расположенных в самых лучших шоппинг районах мира.
