Andrew Nye Andrew Nye, who created this season’s cover for SHOP Düsseldorf, is an expert at vector illustration.

His graphic, conceptual approach made him the perfect choice for this cover, which was inspired by the radschläger – the cartwheeling fgure that is the symbol of Düsseldorf (read more in our feature on page 40). The illustration cleverly combines the traditional radschläger fgure with the modern silhouette of the Gehry buildings in Düsseldorf’s Medienhafen district.

Tissot has referenced its heritage in its Chemin des Tourelles range of watches, named after the street in Le Locle, Switzerland, where the brand started to manufacture its timepieces in 1907. In the latest collection, a variety of versions is available, with difering styles and straps; women should seek out the minimalist model with its white leather strap and glistening, light-catching face while, for men, the rose gold watch with a deep-brown strap is sure to become a staple accessory. This is a key range from the timepiece specialist, which was founded in 1853 and whose headquarters is still located in Chemin des Tourelles. mkh Galeria Kaufhof, Königsallee 1-9, 40212 Düsseldorf, +49 (0)211 13910, tissot.com * for map go to page 67

ECLECTIC CHIC If there’s one certainty with Miuccia Prada, it is that there are no certainties. Her autumn/winter 2015/16 collection for Miu Miu is a glorious mishmash of colours, patterns, and even eras.

Outfts are an exercise in contrasts, with thick houndstooth coats teamed with patent crocodile leather miniskirts. The efect is a joyous assault on the senses. Oversized buttons are a key motif that unites sometimes disparate looks. This oversized theme was also apparent in the costume jewellery worn by the models who showed the collection. The only area where Prada doesn’t play with proportions is accessories; bags and shoes have a distinctly 1950s feel, albeit with a cartoon-like Miu Miu makeover. th Miu Miu, Königsallee 18, 40212 Düsseldorf, +49 (0) 211 210 7740, miumiu.com * for map go to page 68 Save up to 14.5% by shopping tax free, see page 75

COCKTAIL HOUR

Designed to display extraordinary coloured gemstones to their full potential, this distinctive Colonna cocktail ring is the latest piece in Wempe’s By Kim collection. A 16.83-carat tourmaline takes centre stage in a rose-gold setting, while the band is formed from ten 10.85-carat tourmalines edged in bands of rose gold, inlaid with 40 brilliant-cut diamonds. The technical expertise involved in creating such a ring makes this piece a masterful achievement.

Although this is a colourful and exquisite piece of jewellery, it is elegant and doesn’t overwhelm the hand, ensuring that the owner will wear it for years to come. hl Wempe, Königsallee 14, 40212 Düsseldorf, +49 (0)211 324077, wempe.com * for map go to page 68

CLASSICS MADE NEW This season, Louis Vuitton’s menswear collection excels at combining classic brand heritage with a distinctly modern look – a challenging feat. The label’s menswear style director Kim Jones took inspiration from 80s cult designer Christopher Nemeth, his personal hero, reinterpreting Nemeth’s hand-stitched nature-inspired patterns using the brand’s staple luxury materials and some thoroughly modern techniques: examples include etched shearling and cork-embossed cashmere. Jones also pays homage to Nemeth’s denim work in perfectly tailored woollen cashmere, and denim-mix trousers and matching jean jackets.

Nemeth’s prints also appear on some of the brand’s bags. Elsewhere in the collection, trousers feature three-inch turn-ups, while padded shell jackets and updated ski jackets give this season’s menswear ofering a distinctly younger edge than previous collections. Louis Vuitton is continuing to establish itself as one of the go-to labels for luxury contemporary menswear. rp Louis Vuitton, Königsallee 20, 40212 Düsseldorf, +49 (0)211 323230, louisvuitton.com * for map go to page 68

POSITIVE Perfectly capturing the ever-changing and exuberant spirit of Düsseldorf, images of children turning joyful cartwheels are one of the city’s most enduring symbols, as Josh Sims discovers

Cities can be strongly associated with all manner of things: drinks, buildings, arts and local crafts, famous residents past and present.

Few, however, are associated with an action – and one that provides the doer with no beneft, other than the fun of having done it. Perhaps that is all that is needed. After all, Düsseldorf consistently ranks among one of the best places to live in the world.

Look to the streets, from statuary and signage to Alfred Zschorsch’s 1950s landmark fountain in Burgplatz and the fountain on Martin Luther Platz, and to the shops, with their mugs, T-shirts and other souvenirs, and the image of cartwheeling children is prevalent.

Notice it on the doorknockers of Saint Lambert’s church, on the manhole covers, even in the bakery windows – the cartwheeler often

appears in chocolate or in marzipan. Buy a stamp to send a postcard and it may well appear there too. From doorstops to sweets, soft toys to grafti, the cartwheeler is everywhere you turn.

The fgure of the cartwheeler, radschläger in German, is as much a symbol of Düsseldorf as the Eifel Tower is a symbol of Paris or yellow taxicabs are a symbol of New York. It is, in one form or another, the city’s most popular souvenir purchase. The association between the city and the cartwheeler’s fying hands and feet is perhaps Düsseldorf’s most historic yet least-known feature, often overshadowed by the high-end shopping of Königsallee, or the impressively condensed 260 bars found in Altstadt’s square kilometre.

The origin of this association between city and cartwheeling is steeped in local mythology and subject to intense debate. Many believe it is attached to the story of a long-ago wedding

The origin of Düsseldorf’s long association with cartwheeling is steeped in local mythology and subject to debate - cartwheeling as an expression of happiness is probably closest to the truth

between local nobility. When one of the spokes of the happy couple’s carriage wheel broke – an omen of bad luck – a small boy is said to have placed himself in the wheel to allow the wedding procession to continue. In another version of the tale, cartwheeling boys at an unhappy wedding managed to prevent the bride from crying and made her laugh instead.

The notion of cartwheeling as an expression of happiness probably comes closest to the truth. Another story says that cartwheeling became a city-wide craze celebrating victory in the battle of Worringen in 1288, when local noble Adolf VIII of Berg defeated the Archbishop of Cologne. The notorious rivalry between the citizens of Düsseldorf and Cologne is today most often Above: souvenir cups and saucers bearing the familiar image

demonstrated on the football pitch.

Others suggest that this spontaneous revelry was, in fact, organised by Adolf himself in celebration of his military triumph – and sponsored with a few well-placed pfennig coins.

Later generations of children continued the tradition by cartwheeling for visitors, charging a pfennig per spin, a practice that continued well into the 20th century. And when the Jan Wellem monument, a statue sculpted in 1711 of a popular local ruler, was returned to the city in 1945, after years of being kept in protective storage, cartwheeling children appeared on the streets once more.

Today, it is less common to see small children perform for the crowds, though this doesn’t stop older visitors to the city

While other cities stage marathons, Düsseldorf has held a cartwheeling championship for children since 1937

trying it out for the camera. This can-do attitude is certainly in the spirit of the original cartwheeling Düsseldorf citizenry. And cartwheeling has certainly not died out. Those visiting Düsseldorf during the summer months may be lucky enough to stumble upon one of the city’s most unusual traditions, held in the old town alongside the Rhine. While other cities stage marathons, Düsseldorf has held a cartwheeling championship since 1937. Several hundred young people, aged between eight and 12, as well as international competitors, take part; the challenge is to see how many cartwheels can be performed over a 15 or 20 metre stretch. It makes a dizzying spectacle – and one that is as joyous as the less formal cartwheeling of days gone by

HIGH TECH, HIGH STYLE Germany’s most fashionable citizens are embracing technology as they search for labels that combine good looks with functionality, writes Beth Druce

echnically advanced clothing has not previously been known for its style credentials, but that is changing. And when the streets of Germany are hit with sub-zero temperatures this winter, the fashionconscious can remain warm, dry and stylish.

The family-owned Schöfel label is one example of a brand that combines function with fashion. Founded over 200 years ago, it was involved in the early development and manufacture of windproof, waterproof Gore-Tex in the 1980s, and has since become one of the leading names in skiwear and outdoor clothing. Increasingly, however, the label is being spotted of the slopes, worn by city dwellers keen to sport its collection of streamlined and stylish technical apparel.

Schöfel’s minimalist, brightly coloured winter jackets are constructed using Ventloft insulation and the company’s own Venturi Stretch laminate, which combines breathability and waterproof and windproof qualities with close-ftting fexibility.

German heritage brand Bogner, founded

by Olympic ski jumper Willy Bogner in 1932, remains as popular as ever. Today the brand’s

menswear collection combines a distinctive retro aesthetic with cutting-edge functionality.

Goose-down jackets take inspiration from the original jacket worn by Germany’s Olympic ski team (Bogner was a sponsor as early as 1936), incorporating striking motifs with refective panels, a detachable, adjustable hood and water-repellent zips. The snow gaiters may not be necessary during a leisurely stroll around the city, but as temperatures fall you’ll stay cosy.

An emerging genre of men’s apparel is

Technically advanced clothing is particularly popular in Germany, where smart products are being driven by even smarter consumers

simultaneously performance-enhanced and suited to an urban lifestyle – an ofering that cold-water surf brand Finisterre has built its name on. ‘Just because a garment has technical features doesn’t mean it has to look like a technical product,’ explains the company’s marketing manager Natalie Beck. Finisterre, which started out serving the needs of surfers in cold-water regions, now sells its well-edited mix of colour-coordinated merino wool base layers, sweats, technical jackets and socks to a much wider market.

One of the European markets where Finisterre is seeing strongest growth is Germany. While Germany is one of the few countries in the world with a surfable inner-city wave, on the Eisbach river in Munich, it’s not German surf culture that is driving this growth.

‘We have seen an increasing proportion of our customers coming from the big cities,’ explains Beck. ‘This year we’re particularly excited about a new insulation development we’re using within our cold water surfng range. We’ve replaced the recycled polyester flling with British wool insulation. For the same amount of flling you get more warmth, better moisture management, and improved heat retention. You can leave your jacket on a radiator or car engine to warm

up before you put it on, and it will retain that warmth, like a wearable hot water bottle.’

Functional footwear is also becoming increasingly popular in Germany, spearheaded

by Vivobarefoot, whose ‘barefoot’ technology means feet can enjoy the benefts of barefoot walking whatever the weather. ‘Germany is one of the four areas in the world that is very receptive,’ explains digital marketing manager Jamie Page. ‘It’s a country of people that seem to really understand what we’re doing, the importance of functional footwear and the benefts of healthy feet.’

The Scott, a key style in Vivobarefoot’s autumn/winter 2015/16 range, is a lightweight, waterproof lace-up boot in soft leather that is ideal for colder climates. ‘We’ve included a range of features for thermal protection, while still allowing the foot to be free to function fully,’ explains Page. The Vivo aesthetic is defned by its pared-down approach. The Ra is a leather

Oxford shoe, while the Gobi is a desert boot made from watertight waxed canvas with a thermal layer underfoot. ‘Our entire lifestyle range is designed primarily for everyday wear but we stick to the same principles with all our shoes, so technically you could run marathons in our Oxford lace-ups and desert boots,’ says Page.

Marathon-ready Oxford shoes, Olympicstandard ski jackets and wearable hot water bottles are all part of a blurring of boundaries between fashion and function; a long overdue infux of clothing companies that cater for fashion-conscious urbanites who want to equip themselves for winter’s extremes. Clients, says Beck, are ‘urban-based customers who are active, afuent, and clued-up on good product.’

Smart products are being driven by even smarter consumers: function is in fashion schoefel.de, bogner.com, fnisterreuk.com, vivobarefoot.com

CAFÉ SOCIETY Germany is a nation of cofee lovers and the country’s café culture is thriving. Isabella Redmond Styles picks some of the best examples in Düsseldorf

Cofee is Germany’s favourite drink, more popular than water and even than beer.

German adults drink an average of 165 litres of cofee per year, compared to 140 litres of bottled water and a mere 107 litres of beer, according to the most recent fgures from the Deutscher Kafeeverband (German Cofee Association).

Cofee was introduced into Germany in the late 17th century, when cofeehouses began to become popular across Europe.

The beverage on ofer at the time would have been very diferent to that served after German cofee lover Melitta Bentz invented the modern drip cofeemaker in 1908. Bentz’s innovative paper flter made a grounds-free, less bitter cup of cofee; variations on her invention remain in use today.

Visitors to Germany will enjoy discovering the long-standing tradition of kafee und kuchen: a good cup of cofee and a slice of something sweet. Düsseldorf isn’t short of venues that serve great cofee and cake, whether you prefer elaborate French patisserie or an artisanal brew served in ultra-chic, minimalist surroundings. globalblue.com

U G LY D E L U X E A well known spot in Düsseldorf’s on-trend Bilk district, Ugly Deluxe’s chic, understated atmosphere makes it a perfect place to refuel and revive. After dark the restaurant and bar has a great dinner and cocktail menu, but the café’s daytime oferings are a highlight. Ugly Deluxe has mastered freshly brewed, favourful cofee which is served all morning alongside a breakfast menu that includes fried eggs with prosciutto and parmesan.

Come afternoon, pair a slice of the café’s legendary New York cheesecake with your cofee; this fortifying combination will guarantee that you power through the rest of your day.

The food menu ofers plenty of savoury options in the form of soup, salads and flled baguettes, as well as a very tempting selection of cakes, freshly made every day.

The Dolcinella café and deli is known and loved for its homemade products. Owners Diana Struck and Fenja Fürer use organic ingredients whenever possible, and everything from cakes and cookies to jams and favoured liqueurs is made by hand and thoughtfully presented in homemade packaging. Dolcinella makes a great cup of cofee but is also rightly proudly of its British-style afternoon tea, which is served every Friday and Saturday at four o’clock. Expect freshly baked scones served with luscious mascarpone, along with delectable mini sandwiches and cakes, accompanied by a steaming pot of English breakfast or Earl Grey tea.

PURE FREUDE

Olga Knoebel named her café Pure Freude, which translates into English as ‘pure joy’, after her family’s punk and new wave record label.

Even in winter, the café’s courtyard is lovely to sit in, snuggled in the blankets and rugs provided, but it’s the spectacular French-style patisserie that those in the know head here to enjoy. The only hard decision is which sweet treat should accompany your cofee. The macaroons, available in a rainbow array of colours and favours from lemon to violet, are too pretty to resist, but it’s also worth keeping room for a freshly baked croissant, dainty petits fours and a scoop of homemade ice cream.

HUGO BOSS For autumn/winter 2015/16, Boss menswear is inspired by sophisticated winter holiday destinations – think Aspen, Colorado, or St Moritz, Switzerland. As such, the looks refect outdoorsy elegance. From padded coats to pure wool trousers, even the warmest layers are cut close to the body for a fattering ft. True to form, materials are of the highest quality and range from merino wool and mohair to fnest cashmere. The colour palette is similarly refned, sticking to shades such as granite and glacier blue with just a hint of brick red.

RENÉ LEZARD When Thomas Schaefer founded the René Lezard label in 1978, he did so with the idea of creating a modern, design-led premium brand for men and women that used only the highest quality materials.

This philosophy remains at the core of the latest autumn/winter collection. In muted colours and with a relaxed silhouette, the pieces are elegant and stylish without being trend-driven. Warm fabrics such as cashmere and wool are used throughout the collection, giving the clothes an invitingly tactile look. Those seeking dressier items won’t be disappointed, as there are plenty of silk blouses, along with statement coats in foral jacquard.

Rene Lezard, Schadow Arkaden, Schadowstrasse 11, 40212 Düsseldorf, +49 (0)211 323 7210, rene-lezard.com

STRENESSE Inspired by the spirit of Paris, the latest womenswear collection from Strenesse adds a German touch to classic French style. Androgynous silhouettes are given a feminine edge with soft textures, bold colours and prints, as seen in the super-cosy coats which are available in a wide range of colours and prints, from classic black and navy to glamorous leopard print. Boxy suits have been given a modern makeover with wide fared trousers which can be paired with masculine loafers. Simple yet standout accessories complete the collection so, with everything you need to get you through the colder months, Strenesse could be your onestop shop for a capsule winter wardrobe.

MAX MARA

this is a brand to go to for outerwear, as some of the season’s best coats and jackets can be found in this collection. Soft and slouchy is a key silhouette for autumn/winter, and Max Mara’s contrasts between ftted separates and loose, comfortable knitwear make for one of the most grown-up and feminine takes on the trend.

Max Mara, Königsallee 4, 40212 Düsseldorf, +49 (0) 21 1860 6980, maxmara.com * for map go to page 68

Max Mara presents a feminine yet bold collection this season, taking much of its inspiration from images of Marilyn Monroe in the 1960s. This concept works beautifully with the Italian fashion house’s classic style, which has always focused on excellent materials and tailoring. Here it becomes softer and more rounded than in recent seasons, while still maintaining Max Mara’s distinctive style. Soft tailoring is key, and

Города могут ассоциироваться с самыми разными вещами: напитками, зданиями, искусством и ремеслами или знаменитыми жителями прошлого и настоящего. Но едва ли найдется много городов, чей символ – действие. Причем такое действие, которое не несет прямой выгоды исполнителю, если не считать радости и удовольствия. Не исключено, что и этого вполне достаточно. Ведь неслучайно же Дюссельдорф регулярно оказывается в числе лучших городов для жизни во всем мире. Взгляните на его улицы. Городские скульптуры и знаки, известные фонтаны Альфреда Зшроша, установленные в 1950-е на Bergplatz и Martin Luther Platz, молоточек на дверях Базилики Святого Ламберта, крышки канализационных люков – повсюду можно встретить изображения детей, выполняющих этот несложный трюк. Не говоря уж о кружках, футболках и других сувенирах, а также витринах пекарен – «колесо» появляется даже на обложках шоколадок и марципана. Купите марку, чтобы отправить открытку домой, – и там вы тоже увидите это фирменное дюссельдорфское упражнение. Дверные упоры, конфеты, мягкие игрушки и граффити, – маленькие акробаты будут попадаться вам всюду, куда бы вы ни взглянули.

Radschläger – так по-немецки называется человек, делающий «колесо». Его фигура стала таким же символом Дюссельдорфа, как Эйфелева башня в Париже и желтые

кэбы в Нью-Йорке. Связь между городом и поднятыми руками и ногами, очевидно, кроется где-то глубоко в истории. Однако немногие по-настоящему интересуются этими преданиями, увлекаясь роскошным шоппингом на Königsallee и знакомством с барами в Altstadt, где насчитывается не менее 260 заведений. Тем не менее, происхождение символа связано с городскими мифами и до сих пор остается предметом бурных дебатов. Многие считают, что все началось в давние времена со свадьбы местной знати. Когда счастливые молодожены ехали в повозке, одна из спиц в колесе сломалась. А поскольку это считалось плохой приметой, маленькому мальчику поручили встать на место этой спицы так, чтобы свадебная процессия могла отправиться дальше. По другой версии, мальчишки ходили колесом, надеясь развеселить невесту, которая выходила замуж против своей воли и грустила по этому поводу. Саму идею, что кувырки ассоциируются с радостью, можно назвать самой правдоподобной. Еще одна история повествует, что такими акробатическими упражнениями жители города приветствовали исход битвы при Воррингене в 1288 году, когда местный дворянин Адольф VIII фон Берг одержал победу над архиепископом Кельна. По сей день битвы между жителями Дюссельдорфа и Кельна продолжаются, только теперь – в globalblue.com

футбольных схватках. Правда, есть мнение, что этот праздник был на самом деле организован самим Адольфом в честь собственного военного триумфа: он просто удачно разбросал пфеннинги, которые и обнаружили местные жители. Вплоть до 20 века поколения детей продолжали славную традицию – кувыркались колесом для гостей, собирая по пфеннингу за каждый трюк. А в 1945-м об этой традиции вновь вспомнили, когда был восстановлен памятник местному правителю и любимцу горожан Яну Веллему, сооруженный в 1711 году и на многие годы спрятанный в хранилище. В честь возвращения его на законное место детвора вновь пошла «колесом» по улицам города. Сегодня дети уже не выступают для прохожих. Однако это не останавливает гостей города от попыток сделать трюк самим ради памятной фотографии. Столь энергичное и непосредственное выражение своих чувств, определенно, в духе этой славной дюссельдорфской традиции, которая и в наши дни далека от исчезновения. Если вы приедете в Дюссельдом летом и отправитесь на прогулку вдоль Рейна в старом городе, то вам может посчастливиться стать частью самого необычного городского праздника. В то время как в других городах устраивают марафоны, в Дюссельдорфе с 1937 года проводят чемпионат по хождению

колесом. В нем участвует несколько сотен молодых людей в возрасте от 8 до 12 лет, в том числе – и из других стран. Они состязаются в количестве кувырков на дистанциях в 15 и 20 метров. Это поистине головокружительный спектакль, и он приносит всем участникам не меньше радости, чем в былые времена.

46: High Tech, High Style

Высокие технологии, высокий стиль Бет Дрюс рассказывает о брендах, которые пользуются популярностью у ценителей моды в Германии благодаря сочетанию стиля и функциональности Передовая с точки зрения технологий одежда раньше никогда не славилась красотой и стилем. Однако времена меняются. Этой зимой, когда температура воздуха в Германии опустится ниже нуля, ценители хорошего вкуса смогут поддерживать тепло и сухость, не снижая своих требований к дизайну. Бренд Schöfel специализируется на одежде, в которой сочетается функциональность и мода. Он был основан 200 лет назад, и теперь принадлежит одной семье. Компания стояла у истоков разработки и внедрения ветроустойчивой и непромокаемой мембраны Gore-Tex в 1980-е. Это помогло ей стать лидером в сфере одежды для лыжного спорта и удерживать эти позиции до настоящего времени. Со временем Schöfel стал интересоваться не только лыжной экипировкой, но и комплектами для активного отдыха. Обтекаемые силуэты и технологическое совершенство этой одежды по достоинству оценили обитатели городов. Минималистские зимние куртки, доступные в разных цветах, оснащены подкладкой из изоляционной ткани Ventlof и эластичным ламинатом собственной разработки Venturi Stretch. Эти материалы обеспечивают защиту от влаги и ветра без потери дышащих свойств. Кроме того, такой материал гарантирует полную свободу передвижений.

Немецкую марку Bogner в 1932 году основал лыжник-олимпиец Вилли Богнер, и по прошествии многих лет она остается не менее востребованной. Мужская одежда бренда сочетает в себе необычную ретро-эстетику с современной функциональностью. Так, куртки с гусиным пухом созданы под вдохновением от оригинальных моделей, в которых выступали немецкие олимпийцы (Bogner был одним из спонсоров Олимпиады в 1936 году). Они украшены яркими мотивами со светоотражающими элементами, а также снабжены съемными капюшонами и водонепроницаемыми молниями. Гетры от снега могут и не понадобится во время неспешных прогулок по городу, но как только температура воздуха упадет, вам станет в них гораздо уютнее. Бренд Finisterre специализируется на одежде для серфинга в холодной воде. Однако среди широкой аудитории он сделал себе имя именно на мужской одежде – удобной и красивой для активного городского образа жизни. «Если одежда обладает качественными техническими характеристиками, это еще не значит, что она должна выглядеть исключительно как технологический продукт», – рассуждает менеджер по маркетингу компании Натали Бэк. И если раньше компания Finisterre работала для серферов в холодных регионах, то теперь она осваивает более широкий рынок с помощью тщательно продуманных коллекций термобелья из разноцветной шерсти мериноса, толстовок, курток и носков. Германия входит в число европейских рынков, которые бренд осваивает особенно успешно. Это одна из немногих стран в мире, где волна доступна серферам прямо в городе – на реке Айсбах в Мюнхене. Однако спрос в Германии порождает вовсе не серф-культура. «Мы наблюдаем рост доли покупателей из больших городов, – объясняет Бэк. – В этом году мы особенно взволнованы новыми разработками в сфере изоляционных материалов, которые мы используем в серии для серфинга. Вместо утилизируемого полиэстерового

наполнителя теперь применяется шерсть британского производства. При сохранения объема наполнителя можно создать больше тепла, лучше управлять влажностью и поддерживать температуру. Вы можете оставить свою куртку на батарее или двигателе машины для прогрева, и она сохранит тепло. Как будто вы надели грелку на себя». Функциональная обувь также набирает популярность в Германии. Один из лидером этого процесса – Vivobarefoot: фирменная «босая» технология этого бренда подразумевает, что ноги получают все преимущества прогулки босиком вне зависимости от погоды. «Германия – это одно из четырех мест в мире, где люди обладают повышенной чувствительностью, – объясняет менеджер по диджиталмаркетингу Джеми Пейдж. – Люди здесь и в самом деле понимают нашу продукцию, значимость функциональной обуви и преимущества здоровых ног».

Scott, ключевая модель коллекции осень/ зима 2015/16 Vivobarefoot, – это легкие, непромокаемые ботинки из мягкой кожи, которая идеальна для холодного климата, и со шнуровкой. «У нас есть серия обуви, предназначенная для сохранения тепла. Однако и она дает ногам свободу и возможность полноценно функционировать», – объясняет Пейдж. Эстетика Vivo определяется ее расслабленным подходом. Например, модель Ra – это кожаные оксфордские туфли, а Gobi – ботинки для пустыни из влагонепроницаемого вощеного полотна с термической прослойкой под стелькой. «Вся наша лайфстайл-серия создана, главным образом, для повседневного использования. Но мы придерживаемся одних и тех же принципов во всех коллекциях. Поэтому, в принципе, можно бежать марафон к наших «оксфордах» или ботинках для пустыни», – делится Пейдж. Оксфордские туфли для марафона, лыжные куртки олимпийского уровня и куртки-грелки – все это символизирует постепенное размытие границ между модой и функцией. Мы наблюдаем появление

компаний, которые готовы одевать стильных городских жителей, которые хотят подготовиться к зимним холодам. По словам Бэк, покупатели «живут в городах, активны, состоятельны и ориентируются в качественных технологических продуктах». Умные продукты развиваются еще более умными покупателями: ведь функциональность сейчас в моде. schoefel.de, bogner.com, fnisterreuk.com, vivobarefoot.com 75: When You Shop The World, Shop Tax Free

愉悦翻转

一座城市可以与各式各样的事物联系在一起：饮料、 建筑、艺术和本土工艺品，曾经与现下的知名住客。 然而，鲜少有城市与一个动作联系在一起——并且 做这个动作对身体无益，只是让人觉得逗乐而已。 或许这就是人们所需的全部。毕竟，杜塞尔多夫常 年跻身于全球宜居城市之一。 放眼街头，从雕塑和标志到Alfred Zschorsch 1950年建于Bergplatz广场以及马丁路德广场的 标志性喷泉，甚至商店里的马克杯、T恤与纪念 品，儿童侧手翻的形象比比皆是。它出现于Saint Lambertus教堂的门挡上，出现在窨井盖上，甚至 出现在面包店的窗户上——侧手翻儿童还可见诸于 巧克力或杏仁糖上。当你买邮票用于寄明信片回家 时，极有可能也会见到这个图案。从门挡到甜食，毛 绒玩具到涂鸦，走到哪侧手翻儿童就跟到哪。 侧手翻的形象，在德语中叫Radschläger，对于 杜塞尔多夫的象征意义，就如同埃菲尔铁塔之于巴 黎，或是黄色出租车之于纽约一般。侧手翻人像挥 舞的双手与双脚，或许是杜塞尔多夫最为历史悠久 的象征物，虽然其笼罩于国王大道的高端购物店， 或是一公里区域内有260间酒吧聚集的Altstadt区 的阴影之下。 这座城市与侧手翻之间的关联，起源于当地流 传的神话故事，但如今仍有许多争议。许多人认为它 和多年之前的一场贵族婚礼有关。传说这对幸福夫 妇的马车车轮断了轴——这是厄运的预兆——而一 名小男孩将自己作为车轮，以使婚礼得以继续进行。 在另一个版本的故事中，这场不幸婚礼上的侧手翻 男孩们，成功让新娘停止哭泣并喜笑颜开。 侧手翻是一种幸福象征的说法，或许最接近 于事实。在另一个故事中，为庆祝1288年当地贵族 Adolf VIII of Berg在Worringen战役中击败科隆 大主教，侧手翻成为全城的热门庆祝方式。杜塞尔 多夫与科隆人之间由来已久的对立关系，至今仍在 足球场上昭然若揭。 还有人认为这场自发的狂欢，事实上是由Adolf 为自己战役胜利亲自策划——他还为此赏赐了几枚 精心摆放的芬尼硬币。后世的儿童们延续这个传统， 继续为游客们表演侧手翻，每转一圈就收取一个芬 尼，这种做法一直持续到20世纪。当Jan Wellem纪 念碑，一座建于1711年的广受爱戴的地方统治者雕

像，在多年保护性收藏后于1945年被送回该城时， 侧手翻儿童的身影再次出现于街头。 今天，不再能轻易见到幼童在人群中表演侧手 翻，虽然这并未阻止年长的游客们纷纷带着相机来 此观光。这种敢作敢当的精神，必定是杜塞尔多夫公 民精神中的一部分。侧手翻也并未绝迹。在夏天几个 月份造访杜塞尔多夫的人们，可能会幸运地在城市 中见到这个最不同寻常的传统，就在莱茵河畔的老 城区中。当其他城市纷纷上演马拉松之际，杜塞尔多 夫自1937年起就开始举办侧手翻大赛。每年有数以 百计的儿童，从八至十二岁，包括国际选手，参加这 项赛事；他们的挑战是，能在15米或20米的距离内 做多少个侧手翻。这样的场景让人眼花缭乱——并 且与过去并不正式的侧手翻运动一样，同样赋予人 们欢乐。

46: High Tech, High Style 科技亦时尚 德国最时髦的人群正拥抱科技，搜寻各处美观与功 能性兼备的品牌。Beth Druce报道 过去，高科技服装从未曾因其时尚性而为人认可，但 一切正在改变。这个冬天，德国的大街小巷都遭受零 度以下温度冲击，而时髦人士们却可以同时享受温 暖干燥并保持风度。 家族品牌Schöfel是将功能性与时尚结合的代 表性品牌之一。公司成立200余年，在1980年代就 参与防风防水面料Gore-Tex的早期开发与生产，并 从此成为滑雪与户外服装界的领导品牌之一。然而， 该品牌服饰不再只见于雪山坡道上，越来越多的运 动爱好者在城市中步行时，也同样喜爱穿着该品牌 简练又不失时尚的高科技运动服。Schöfel风格简 约、色彩鲜艳的冬季外套，使用Ventloft 绝缘材料， 以及公司自主开发的Venturi Stretch涂层，将透气 性与防水防风性，以及贴身灵活性融合于一体。

由奥林匹克滑雪运动员Willy Bogner于1932年 成立的德国经典品牌Bogner，如今仍如过往一样风 靡。品牌本季男装系列，将与众不同的复古美学与尖 端科技带来的功能性完美结合。鹅绒夹克的灵感， 来自原德国奥林匹克滑雪队穿着的外套（Bogner早 在1936年就是其赞助商），运用醒目图案与反光条， 可拆卸、可调节兜帽以及防水拉链。虽然雪地绑腿 对在城市周边漫步并非那么必要，但当气温下降时 穿着会倍感舒适。 男装的一个新兴流派是拥有高性能，又同时适 合于都市生活—— 冷水冲浪品牌Finisterre便以此 为立身之本。 “一件服装具有高科技内涵，并不代表 就一定要看起来像一件高科技产品， ”公司市场部经 理Natalie Beck解释道。Finisterre初创时主要为满 足冷水冲浪者的需求，但如今其产品线相当宽泛，包 括精心配色的美丽诺羊毛编织外套、帽衫、高技术 外套与袜子等。 德国是Finisterre增长最强劲的欧洲市场之 一。虽然德国是全球少数几个拥有城市内可冲浪水 域——即慕尼黑的Eisbach河——的国家之一，但

这种增长的驱动力却并非来自该国的冲浪文化。 “ 我们发现来自大城市的顾客正在占据越来越大的比 重， ”Beck解释。 “今年在冷水冲浪系列中运用的新 型保温技术，让我们格外激动。我们将可再生聚酯 填充物换成了英国保温羊毛填充物。相同重量的填 充物带给你更多温暖、更好的湿度调节与更佳的保 热性能。你可以在穿着前将外套挂在取暖器或汽车 发动机上，它就像一个可穿戴式热水袋般会持续保 持这份温度。” 功能性鞋款也在德国越发走俏。由 Vivobarefoot所带领的“赤足”科技风潮，意味着 人们可以在任何天气享有赤足行走的优势。 “德国 是全球四大接受度最高的地区之一， ”数字营销经理 Jamie Page解释道。 “该国大众似乎真正能理解我 们在做什么，理解功能鞋款的重要性与健康足部的 益处。” Vivobarefoot品牌2015/16秋冬系列的主打款 式之一Scott，是一款以软皮打造的轻便防水系带 靴，非常适合寒冷天气穿着。 “我们采用多种技术来 防止热量流失，同时又让足部可以自由地进行最大

限度的活动， ”Page解释。品牌旗下的Vivo系列以极 简美学著称。Ra系列则是一款牛津皮革鞋，Gobi系 列是使用蜡涂层防水帆布打造、并垫有热调节夹层 的沙漠靴。 “我们整个产品线基本都是为日常生活打 造的，但我们坚持对所有鞋款秉承同一原则，所以从 技术层面而言，你完全可以穿着我们的牛津系带皮 鞋与沙漠靴去跑马拉松， ”Page表示。 可以穿着跑马拉松的牛津皮鞋，符合奥运标准 的滑雪夹克以及可穿戴式热水袋，都是时尚性与功 能性之间界限日渐模糊的产物；越来越多服装品牌 迈入这股潮流中，为追求时尚的都市一族提供可在 冬季极端天气穿着的服饰。顾客们，就像Beck所 言，是“城市中那些活跃、富足、追求高品质产品的人 群。”智慧型产品的背后推动力是更聪明的消费者： 功能亦时尚。 schoefel.de, bogner.com, fnisterreuk.com, vivobarefoot.com
