INVESTMENT PIECES Uwe van Aferden is described as a menswear department store, but in fact it’s much more than that. As well as an impressive range of menswear, the shop boasts a selection of art and furniture. In 2012, the company also created a magazine, The Heritage Post, dedicated to lifestyle, craft and heritage fashions. From upcycled furniture to framesewn leather shoes, Uwe van Aferden has a great range of products that get more beautiful with age. One example is the leather brand Butts and Shoulders, stocked since last year.

Made of 100% natural vegetable-tanned leather, all Butts and Shoulders bags develop a unique patina when used, touched and exposed to sunlight. As fashion trends come and go ever more rapidly, Uwe van Aferden ofers a novel alternative: investing in something you love and watching it improve over the years. th Uwe van Aferden, Lorettostrasse 35, 40219 Düsseldorf, +49 (0)211 552132, van-aferden.com

They are also exceptionally comfortable to wear. Limited to 500 pieces each, these striking matte black pieces are sure to become collector’s items. hl Porsche Design, Kö-Bogen, Königsallee 2, 40212 Düsseldorf, +49 (0)211 2107 4430, porsche-design.com * for map go to page 74

WU’S THE BOSS

Save up to 14.5% by shopping tax free, see page 83

Jason Wu’s second outing for Boss is a confdent assertion of the brand’s new direction. Having made its name as a menswear brand famed for its precise tailoring, Boss is now a strong player in womenswear too.

There is something for every occasion within this collection. Need a razor-sharp shirtdress for daytime? Check. Want a diaphanous lilac gown for a formal event? Double check. Wu keeps silhouettes streamlined, often with a narrow belt emphasising the waist. Speaking of accessories, gladiator sandals are also given the Wu treatment, with clean lines and a simple zip bringing them sharply into the 21st century. Of course, no Boss collection would be complete without at least one black suit and Wu does not disappoint. A fawless one-button afair with white contrast seams, the suit has been modelled without a shirt to play up the femininity of a plunging neckline. Here is androgyny done exactly the right way. th Boss Store, Königsallee 13, 40212 Düsseldorf, +49 (0)211 2107 5170, hugoboss.com * for map go to page 74

FRESH START This season, Prada’s menswear ofering delivers a masterclass in ‘less is more’.

Designer Miuccia Prada has adopted a conservative aesthetic, yet with a distinctive freshness. An emphasis on clean lines, sharp silhouettes and classic cuts avoids any suggestion of overcomplication and provides a fresh twist on contemporary menswear. Fine tailoring details include highlighted stitching and razor-sharp trouser pleats, and the collection also includes crossstrap sandals and leather overcoats. All these elements combine into one of the most directional menswear looks of the season. rp Prada, Königsallee 34A, 40212 Düsseldorf, +49 (0)211 865780, prada.com * for map go to page 74

Add a splash of colour to your daytime look with this two-tone timepiece from the Bohème Collection by Montblanc – a unique and elegant design that’s perfect for the spring/summer season. This modern piece was created using the foremost horological technology, developed by prestigious watchmaker Montblanc over its 90-year history. Its rose gold case quietly complements the citrus hues of the strap, while the diamonds surrounding the face add subtle sparkle. mkh Montblanc, Königsallee 22, 40212 Düsseldorf, +49 (0)211 323 8994, montblanc.com * for map go to page 74 globalblue.com

Düsseldorf’s intriguing mix of Fortune Global 500 companies and fashion fairs draws a diverse crowd of business travellers and fashion enthusiasts. The city’s combination of commerce and style provides the perfect backdrop for a new crop of streetwear brands. Riding the crest of the urban casualwear wave, these fresh labels

are carving out a niche and rapidly gaining fans within Düsseldorf and worldwide.

Germany is fast becoming synonymous with streetwear, due to the popularity of sportswear-inspired brands such as Michalsky and the growth of heritage labels, including MCM, who add monograms to high-top Lef: DRMTM spring/summer 2015

sneakers and leather backpacks. Those looking for something more directional – and a little more afordable – are sure to be impressed by DRMTM (pronounced ‘dream team’). The label was founded in 2006 and creates cuttingedge clothing collections for the youthful non-conformist; its pieces are known for their bold slogans.

The brand’s latest collection, High Life, takes its inspiration from the 1990s, an era that strikes a chord with DRMTM’s brand Above: the Souq store

manager Mark Smith. ‘We grew up in the 90s and there was too much greatness in that era to put it into one sentence,’ he says. ‘To make it brief: Wu-Tang Clan, Game Boy, MTV raps, LA Gear, Michael Jordan, Los Angeles, Starter and so on.’ Rap music and urban culture in general has been a great infuence on DRMTM’s spring/summer 2015 collection; bucket hats and dark denim feature understated

diamonds and dollar signs while sweaters and baseball caps are emblazoned with Bel Air as a tribute to Will Smith’s classic television show, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. DRMTM is happy to commend its contemporaries. ‘We are friends with many of the guys from German and Austrian streetwear brands like Wemoto and Beastin,’ Smith explains. ‘Inspiration for our collections

Above (clockwise from top lef): MCM high-top trainer and Stark backpack, both spring/summer 2015; a range of DRMTM spring/ summer 2015 items

comes from diferent sources, though.’ As well as 1990s American pop culture, DRMTM owes much of its success to its hometown.

‘Düsseldorf is a great city,’ Smith explains.

‘It’s neither too big nor too small, which means that you pretty much know all the relevant people from all kinds of businesses – that’s what makes Düsseldorf a great place for networking.’

Despite the growing popularity of

streetwear in Düsseldorf, for Smith it could have come much sooner. ‘Düsseldorf has always been a fashionable city so it just makes sense.

I think the question is rather “Why so late?”’

DRMTM, which is stocked at Snipes stores, is now going from strength to strength and Smith is considering a womenswear range. ‘With all the corporates around it’s a really tough environment but we are defnitely thinking

48 | F E AT U R E S

about launching a womens’ line,’ he says.

Specialist streetwear and sneaker store Souq recently celebrated its second anniversary.

The store originally opened as a temporary pop-up, but co-founders Jojo Koomson and Maryam Hajji felt Düsseldorf needed a dedicated streetwear store. ‘The thing is, all the major cities look alike,’ says Koomson. ‘If you go to London, Hamburg or Stockholm you will always fnd the same shops. I think people

are fed up with chain stores. People want to be more individual and less alike.’

Souq’s covetable collection of trainers from labels such as Nike SB, Vans and New Balance, not to mention clothing by Obey, Huf and Carhartt, is sure to help visitors stand out from the crowd. The boutique’s owners take time to source the fnest urban footwear and clothing for their local and international clientele. ‘We source our products

S H O P | 49

on-line, through blogs, magazines and music videos and we get a lot of feedback, which is really import,’ Koomson explains. ‘Because Düsseldorf is such a fashionable city and a lot of tourists visit every year we have a really big community overseas.’

Souq’s online presence is impressively vast for such a specialist store and the shop has thousands of followers on Instagram and Facebook, all keeping up with the latest

launches. But to experience Souq properly, you have to pay a visit to the store itself.

‘We’ve heard from our customers that the vibe in our store makes Souq unique,’ says Koomson. ‘What is really important to us is to be honest to our customers. I know all shops say that, but we live that. Come to our store and fnd out for yourself.’ michalsky.com, mcmworldwide.com, drmtm.com, souq-store.com

GUERILLA Kaviar Gauche broke into the fashion world a decade ago and is still bringing a touch of rock ’n’ roll rebellion to the style establishment, as Verity Hogan discovers

CHIC

‘Our collections are based on contradictions.

We love women who are chic and feminine yet still have a sense of rebellion.’ The designers behind Kaviar Gauche have been breaking fashion rules since they set up the label in Berlin 10 years ago. In fact, the brand entered the international style world through an act of rebellion, when Alexandra Fischer-Roehler and Johanna Kühl debuted their collection with a guerrilla catwalk show on the street outside Parisian concept store Colette in 2004.

Since then, Kaviar Gauche has shown twice in Paris, as part of the main schedule: its spring/summer 2015 show was ‘successful and sensational,’ say the designers.

‘Showing in Paris is quite diferent to Berlin,’ they add. ‘In Paris, we have to convince an international audience that may have never heard of us before. In Germany, you could ask an unfashionable elderly woman in one of the smaller towns and she would probably know who we are.’

It’s true to say that Kaviar Gauche is wellknown worldwide and that its typical clientele is far more glamorous than the average German granny. Strong, beautiful and talented women are the target audience for the label, and its fans include Heike Makatsch and Rosie HuntingtonWhiteley. The label’s aesthetic is ‘feminine avant-garde with a modern glamour, combined with elements of rock ’n’ roll’, and the designers say they would love to see Keira Knightly and

The current Kaviar Gauche collection is a culmination of the designers’ influences and inspirations

For spring/summer 2015, the women have produced a collection that can be seen as a culmination of all the experiences, infuences and inspirations they have shared in the last decade. The collection strikes a perfect balance between masculine and feminine styles: expect feminine silhouettes paired with opulent oversized elements and fowing volume with displaced shapes, executed in a palette of

intense yet soft colours.

Inspiration comes from a range of sources but Berlin is a constant presence in the label’s pieces. ‘Besides the people who infuence our working process and our designs, our beloved city Berlin gives us moments, impressions and ideals which conduct the style of Kaviar Gauche,’ says Kühl. ‘But even so, diferent cities, especially Paris, also deliver moments and ideas which are responsible for our

54 | F E AT U R E S

inspiration.’ The label commemorated its long association with Berlin during its 10th anniversary celebrations, holding a special show in the city: ‘It felt right to do this in Berlin so we were able to invite a lot of people who were believers and supporters from the very frst moment.’

Since graduating in fashion design from Esmod in Paris, Kühl and Fischer-Roehler have become known for the efortlessly chic nature of their work. The label’s name is taken from a French expression. ‘It’s based on “gauche caviar”, which can be translated into Champagne socialist. It pretty much Above: Kaviar Gauche designers Alexandra Fischer-Roehler and Johanna Kühl; the brand’s collaboration with Görtz, 2010

describes our design and consumer philosophy,’ Fischer-Roehler explains.

Kaviar Gauche’s collections often feature an intriguing interplay between textures, transparency and volume, helping to create a look that combines cool seduction with modern glamour. Couture detailing and the incorporation of luxury fabrics add a touch of exclusivity.

The label’s wide recognition within Germany can be attributed to a series of high-profle collaborations. In 2008, Kühl and Fischer-Roehler produced an exclusive collection for the Karstadt group, featuring 1970s-inspired dresses, tunics and blouses; they launched a shoe range for Görtz in 2010 and produced a limited-edition cosmetics bag for natural beauty company Dr Hauschka.

A shared understanding forms the basis of any partnership: ‘It just needs to be a ft.

The two designers behind Kaviar Gauche excel at collaboration by our aesthetic. Otherwise it will not work,’ the designers explain. ‘Of course it is still a cooperation and you cannot ignore the partners’ wishes, but they have to trust us. The projects that have been based on these principles were very successful.’

Collaboration is something Kühl and Fischer-Roehler excel at, having worked together for 10 years with minimal creative

diferences. ‘Of course, sometimes we have diferent opinions, but it is quite rare as we trust each other.’

The infuence of two creative minds may account for the duality that has become a trademark of the label; the spring/summer 2015 collection plays with contrasts, pairing casual drapery with strong geometric shapes to great efect.

It’s a winning formula and the label shows no sign of a loss of momentum after reaching its 10th anniversary. ‘We are planning to expand on the international market,’ the designers confde. ‘Licence deals are being sorted out right now and we are planning to open more mono-label stores; our stores have been very successful.’

It seems that Germany’s fashion rebels are becoming respected members of the global style community kaviargauche.com

RAISING THE BAR Düsseldorf ofers plenty of good reasons to raise your glass, as Isabella Redmond Styles fnds out

When it comes to drinks, Düsseldorf is known frst and foremost for altbier, a top-fermented, copper-coloured ale. Unsurprisingly, there are plenty of breweries in the city, many of which date back hundreds of years, where visitors can sample the local tipple, which is clean-tasting and aromatic, with a creamy head. ‘Alt’ in the name translates into English as ‘old’ – altbier is one of only a handful of traditional German ales and is among the world’s oldest beer styles. It is so closely identifed with Düsseldorf that it’s also known as Düsseldorfer Alt. Those who prefer something stronger may also be interested in another Düsseldorf tradition; Killepitsch, the local liqueur, is a heady concoction made from 98 types of herbs, berries and fruits.

The city is also home to many elegant bars where excellent cocktails and a great atmosphere are the order of the day. So, whether it’s an occasion for celebration or just for a quiet drink, pull up a seat at one of Düsseldorf’s historic breweries or bustling bars and get a real favour of the city and its residents. globalblue.com

WEMPE Wempe is on a mission to keep watch lovers happy with the latest addition to its Zeitmeister line. The new fagship style, the Wempe Zeitmeister Glashütte i/SA Chronograph Mondphase Vollkalender, combines two of the most popular horological features of previous styles, a chronograph and a full calendar including moon phase rank to chart the lunar cycle.

Other highlights include a 24-hour display and a pleasingly practical date display made up of a circle of dates that surrounds the dial. Once completed, each timepiece must undergo a rigorous 15-day testing procedure and is only approved if it reaches Wempe’s exacting standards.

Wempe, Königsallee 14, 40212 Düsseldorf, +49 (0)211 324077, wempe.de

BUCHERER Heritage watchmaker H Moser & Cie and fne jeweller Bucherer have a lot in common.

These independent companies from German-speaking areas of Switzerland were founded in the 19th century and so it is natural that they are long-time collaborators. Their most recent project – an addition to the existing Venturer line – is the Venturer Small Seconds Bucherer Edition. In white gold and with a 1960s convex design, the watch is inspired by H Moser & Cie’s historic pocket watches.

Be sure to seek out this watch while in Düsseldorf, as it is exclusively available in Bucherer boutiques in Germany, Switzerland and Austria.

MY NEIGHBOURHOOD: ANDREJ UROŠEVIĆ Andrej Urošević is the man behind Andrej’s Oyster Bar & Restaurant, which serves some of the best fsh and seafood in Düsseldorf, delivered fresh every morning. He shares his favourites from the city’s Oberkassel and Niederkassel districts with Isabella Redmond Styles

‘You’re most likely to fnd me in Oberkassel and Niederkassel. It’s my favourite area of the city as it’s the most picturesque and it’s also where I live and where I grew up.

‘For food, I love to visit the Dorfstube restaurant as it’s the most authentic and best German restaurant in town, as well as the buzzing Brasserie Hülsmann and Stollmann, a butcher and delicatessen that’s defnitely best.

‘When it comes to fashion, Gretchen, which is known for its handbags and leather

accessories, is one of Germany’s most exciting young fashion labels.

‘I spend most of my time at my restaurant – I’m practically married to it.

However on a rare night of, I like to visit the Capella Bar & Cigar Lounge * p.74 at the Breidenbacher hotel, because it has the best selection of fne cognacs, armagnacs and cocktails in town. The wine list is also huge and the kitchen is open until late, which is very convenient for me after we close.

‘When I have friends to visit, I like

to take them on a stroll about Oberkassel and Niederkassel, then head across the bridge to the Old Town where we make our way to the famous Königsallee, Düsseldorf’s most fashionable street. Then it’s on to the MedienHafen, via Carlstadt, a gentrifed part of the Old Town, through the park and along the pond by the Ständehaus museum. The television tower is a must-see. The view from the top of it is my favourite in the city – go up there and you will understand why.

I love to walk along the river banks of Oberkassel and Niederkassel and go fshing down by the river Rhine. It’s very relaxing and fsh doesn’t get much fresher than that. That is, if I manage to catch one!

‘The orangery and the adjacent park in Carlstadt are hidden gems that I’d quite like to keep to myself.

‘I’ve also just discovered our local bakery and cheese shop Le Salonard on Luegallee. It’s where we source our cheese for the restaurant.’

РУССКИЙ ПЕРЕВОД 42: Take It To The Streets

С Улиц Городских

Лейблы уличной одежды в Дюссельдорфе вносят разнообразие в модную среду города и привлекают толпы трендовых посетителей, выяснила Салли Макилхон Необычный микс компаний из рейтинга Fortune Global 500 и модных ярмарок в Дюссельдорфе привлекает столь разных бизнес путешественников и стильных энтузиастов. Такая комбинация моды и коммерции в этом городе является идеальным фоном для процветания новых брендов уличной одежды. Возглавляя движение урбанистической повседневной одежды, эти лейблы занимают особую нишу и завоевывают все больше поклонников как globalblue.com

в Дюссельдорфе, так и по всему миру. Германия стала ассоциироваться с уличной одеждой благодаря популярности брендов, вдохновленных спортивными вещами, как Michalsky, например, и росту классических лейблов, включая MCM, чьи монограммы можно увидеть на высоких кроссовках и кожаных рюкзаках. Тем же, кто ищет нечто более направленное и доступное, советуем обратить внимание на DRMTM (произносится «dream team»). Этот лейбл, основанный в 2006 году, производит передовые коллекции одежды для молодых альтернативных людей; его вещи известны своими смелыми слоганами. Последняя коллекция бренда под названием High Life черпает вдохновение в 1990-х, эре, которая так импонирует бренд-менеджеру DRMTM Марку Смиту. «Мы выросли в 90-х, и в этом периоде было столько всего невероятного, что сложно описать в одном предложении, - говорит он. – Коротко

86

говоря: Wu-Tang Clan, Game Boy, MTV, LA Gear, Майкл Джордан, Los Angeles, Starter и прочее». Рэп музыка и урбанистическая культура в целом оказали огромное влияние на коллекцию весна-лето 2015 от DRMTM; на панамах и темной джинсе красовались неяркие бриллианты и доллары, а на свитерах и бейсбольных кепках появилась надпись Bel Air, в честь классического телевизионного шоу Уилла Смита Te Fresh Prince of Bel Air (Принц из Беверли-Хиллз). globalblue.com

DRMTM высоко отзываются о своих современниках. «Мы дружим со многими ребятами из немецких и австрийских брендов уличной одежды типа Wemoto и Beastin, - объясняет Смит. – Однако вдохновение для создания наших коллекций приходит из разных источников». Помимо американской поп культуры 1990-х на успех DRMTM также повлиял родной город. «Дюссельдорф – прекрасное место, - признается Смит, - Он не слишком велик

87

или мал, что означает, что ты знаешь практически всех людей, имеющих отношение к тому или иному бизнесу – именно эта черта делает Дюссельдорф идеальным местом для связей и знакомств». Несмотря на растущую популярность уличной одежды в Дюссельдорфе, Смит считает, что ее расцвет мог наступить гораздо раньше. «Дюссельдорф всегда был модным городом, так что здесь нет ничего удивительного. Единственный вопрос, который мучает меня – ‘Почему так поздно?’». DRMTM, чья продукция доступна в магазинах Snipes, сейчас развивается очень быстро и подумывает о создании линии женской одежды. «В таком корпоративном мире достаточно сложно расти, но мы определенно подумываем о запуске женской линейки», - говорит он. Магазин Souq, специализирующийся на уличной одежде и кроссовках, недавно отпраздновал свою вторую годовщину. Изначально он открылся как временный

бутик, но его со-основатели Джоджо Кумсон и Марьям Хаджи посчитали, что Дюссельдорфу нужен профильный магазин уличной одежды. «Дело в том, что все крупные города похожи друг на друга, - говорит Кумсон. – Если вы поедите в Лондон, Гамбург или Стокгольм, вы везде найдете одни и те же бутики. Мне кажется. Людям надоели сетевые магазины. Люди хотят быть более уникальными и не похожими друг на друга».

Роскошная коллекция кроссовок в Souq от таких брендов, как Nike SB, Vans и New Balance, а также одежда от Obey, Haf и Carhartt точно помогут посетителям создать индивидуальный стиль. Владельцы бутика тщательно отбирают лучшую

урбанистическую одежду и обувь для своих местных и приезжих покупателей. «Мы добываем нашу продукцию онлайн, через блоггеров, журналы и музыкальные клипы и получаем множество отзывов, что очень важно для нас, - объясняет Кумсон. – Из-за того, что Дюссельдорф – такой модный город, и многие туристы посещают его каждый год, у нас образовалось большое сообщество за рубежом». Онлайн влияние Souq достаточно велико для такого узко специализированного магазина, количество его поклонников в Instagram и Facebook, рассказывающих о его новостях и событиях, насчитывает тысячи. Но для того, чтобы действительно «узнать» Souq, вам нужно посетить магазин. «Мы часто слышим от наших клиентов, что атмосфера в Souq – это то, что делает его уникальным, говорит Кумсон. – Что действительно важно для нас – так это честность перед нашими покупателями. Я знаю, что все магазины так говорят, но мы живем по этому принципу. Загляните в наш магазин и судите сами». michalsky.com, mcmworldwide.com, drmtm.com, souq-store.com

50: Guerilla Chic

Своенравный Шик Бренд Kaviar Gauche ворвался в мир моды более десяти лет назад и до сих пор привносит нотку рок-н-ролльного мятежа в модную индустрию, как выяснила Верити Хоган

«Наши коллекции основаны на противоречиях. Нам нравятся роскошные и женственные женщины, которые имеют склонность к бунту». Kaviar Gauche нарушает модные правила уже десять лет, именно столько прошло с момента его появления. Фактически лейбл появился, благодаря своеобразному акту

непослушания, когда дизайнеры Александра Фишер-Рёлер и Йоханна Кюль представили свою первую коллекцию на стихийном показе, устроенном на улице, снаружи парижского концепт-стора Colette в 2004 году. С того момента бренд дважды устраивал показы в Париже, ставшие частью основного расписания. Шоу весна-лето 2015 было «успешным и сенсационным, – заверяют дизайнеры. – Показы в Париже сильно отличаются от Берлина. В Париже нам приходится производить впечатление на интернациональную публику, которая, возможно, никогда о нас и не слышала. В Германии вы можете спросить пожилую женщину, не имеющую никакого отношения

на «gauche caviar», что может быть переведено как социалист из Шампань. Это достаточно точно описывает наши изделия и философию потребления», – объясняет Фишер-Рёлер. Массовое признание бренда в Германии началось с серии крупных коллабораций. В 2008 году Кюль и Фишер-Рёлер создали эксклюзивную коллекцию для группы Karstadt, в которую вошли платья, туники и блузы в стиле 1970-х. В 2010 году они запустили линию обуви для Görtz и косметичку, которая вышла ограниченным тиражом для бренда натуральной косметики Dr Hauschka. Понимание составляет основу любого сотрудничества: «Всё просто должно совпасть. Другая компания должна поверить

к моде и проживающую в маленьком городке, и она скорее всего знает, кто мы». Можно с легкостью утверждать, что Kaviar Gauche достиг международного признания, и, что его типичные клиенты куда более стильные, чем среднестатистические немецкие бабушки. Целевой аудиторией бренда являются сильные, красивые и талантливые женщины, а в число его фанатов входят Хайке Макатч и Рози Хантингтон-Уайтли. Эстетика лейбла – «женственный авангард с современным обаянием, объединённый с элементами рокн-ролла», и дизайнеры говорят, что им бы очень хотелось, чтобы их одежду примерили Кира Найтли и Жозефин де ля Бом. Для сезона весна-лето 2015 дизайнеры создали коллекцию, которую можно рассматривать как кульминация всего опыта, влияния и вдохновения, которым они делились последнее десятилетие. Эта коллекция выдерживает идеальный баланс между мужским и женским: женственные силуэты дополнены роскошными крупными элементами и легким объёмом со смещёнными формами; всё это выполнено в ярких, но мягких цветах. Вдохновение приходит из многочисленных источников, но отражение Берлина в одежде бренда очевидно. «Помимо людей, которые оказывают влияние на рабочий процесс и наши модели, наш любимый город Берлин даёт нам впечатления и идеи, которые определяют стиль Kaviar Gauche, – говорит Кюль. – И всё же разные города, особенно Париж, также создают свои моменты, выступающие в качестве вдохновения». Лейбл выразил свою любовь к Берлину во время своего 10-летнего юбилея, устроив специальный показ в городе. «Нам показалась правильным сделать это в Берлине, так как нам удалось пригласить многих людей, которые верили и поддерживали нас с первых минут». Небрежный шик их коллекций принес славу Кюль и Фишер-Рёлер после выпуска с курса модного дизайна в ESMOD в Париже. Название бренда происходит из французского выражения: «Оно основано

в наш дизайн. Иначе ничего не получится, – объясняют дизайнеры, – конечно это всё равно сотрудничество, и вы не можете просто игнорировать желания ваших партнёров, но они должны доверять нам. Проекты, построенные на этих принципах, были очень успешны». Коллаборации – это то, в чем Кюль и Фишер-Рёлер нет равных, ведь они проработали вместе 10 лет с минимальными креативными разногласиями. «Конечно, иногда наши мнения расходятся, но это происходит очень редко, ведь мы доверяем друг другу». Влияние двух креативных умов вылилось в двойственность, которая стала отличительным знаком лейбла. Коллекция весна-лето 2015 играет с контрастами, объединяя драпировку с яркими геометрическими формами, что создает оригинальный эффект. За 10 лет лейблу удалось разработать настоящую формулу успеха, и потеря популярности не входит в планы дизайнеров. «Мы хотим расшириться на международном рынке, - признаются они. – В данный момент улаживаются дела с лицензиями, и мы планируем открыть больше моно-брендовых бутиков; наши магазины пользуются успехом». Кажется, модные бунтарки Германии становятся уважаемыми членами мирового модного общества. kaviargauche.com 83: When you shop the world, shop tax free

42: Take It To The Streets 走上街头 杜塞尔多夫的街头服饰品牌为该城的时尚图景平添 几分新意，并吸引了摩肩接踵的时尚爱好者，Sally McIlhone报道 杜塞尔多夫同时拥有全球财富500强企业与诸多时 尚展会，同时吸引着商务旅客与时尚爱好者。这座城

市中商业与时尚的融合，为新涌现的街头服饰品牌 提供了绝佳的舞台。乘着这股都市休闲风兴起的热 潮，这些新晋品牌正在杜塞尔多夫及全球范围内， 聚集起一批口味另类但迅速壮大的粉丝群体。 德国正在迅速成为街头服饰的代名词，归功于 Michalsky等运动风品牌的流行，以及历史品牌的 成长，例如MCM，为其高帮帆布鞋与皮制背包加入 纹样。那些想要寻找更具指向性的——也更为经济 的——产品的人们一定会对DRMTM（发音意为“ 梦之队”）留下深刻印象。品牌成立于2006年，为不 妥协的年轻人们打造前卫的服饰系列；品牌的产品 被誉为年轻群体的大胆宣言。 品牌的最新系列High Life，从1990年代获取 灵感，一个引起DRMTM的品牌经理Mark Smith 深刻共鸣的时代。 “我们成长于90年代，那个时代简 直有太多伟大的事物了，实在无法用一句话言尽， ” 他说。 “简单举例：就有Wu-Tang Clan、Game Boy 游戏机、MTV饶舌、LA Gear、迈克尔乔丹、洛 杉矶、Starter等。”总体而言，饶舌音乐与都市文化 对于DRMTM的2015春/夏系列有巨大影响；渔 夫帽和深色牛仔服上使用了低调的钻石装饰与美 元符号，针织衫和棒球帽上则印有Bel Air，这是对 Will Smith经典电视节目《新鲜王子妙事多》（The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air）的致敬。 DRMTM非常乐于赞扬自己的同代人。 “我们 和许多来自德国和奥地利的街头品牌创始人都是好 朋友，比如Wemoto和Beastin， ”Smith解释道。 “虽

然我们的灵感来自不同源头。”除了1990年代的美国 流行文化，DRMTM的成功很大程度上归功于其 家乡。 “杜塞尔多夫是一座伟大的城市， ”Smith解 释。 “它既不是太大也不是太小，意味着你几乎认识 所有行业的相关人士——这使杜塞尔多夫成为发展 人际关系的绝佳所在。” 虽然街头服饰在杜塞尔多夫日益普及，Smith 认为这股风潮应当来得早得多。 “杜塞尔多夫一直是 一座时尚的城市，因此一切都很合理。我认为问题 应当是‘为何会这么晚？’”。DRMTM目前在Snipes 店铺内发售，并正在不断壮大，Smith开始考虑推出 女装系列。 “周围有那么多的对手，竞争环境很残酷， 但我们绝对想要推出女装系列， ”他表示。 专营街头服装与运动鞋的店铺Souq近日迎来 成立两周年的生日。这家店开业时只是一家临时店 铺，但联合创始人 Jojo Koomson和 Maryam Hajji 觉得杜塞尔多夫需要一家专营街头服饰的商店。 “ 事实就是，所有大城市看起来都很像， ”Koomson 指出。 “如果你去伦敦、汉堡或斯德哥尔摩，你总会见 到同样的店铺。我觉得人们开始厌倦连锁店了。大家 都希望更少雷同、更多个性。” Souq丰富的系列包括来自Nike SB、Vans 和New Balance的运动鞋，还有Obey、Huf 和 Carhartt等服饰品牌，以上品牌帮助顾客们在人群 中脱颖而出。这家精品店的老板花费大量时间为本 地与国际客户采购高品质的都市鞋履与服饰。 “我们 在网上搜寻产品，通过博客、杂志与音乐录影带，我

们获得了许多反馈，这也非常重要， ”Koomson解释 道。 “因为杜塞尔多夫是一个如此时尚的城市，每年 都有很多游客前来，我们拥有大批的海外顾客。” 对于一间店铺而言，Souq的网络影响力惊人 地巨大，该店在Instagram和Facebook 上拥有成千 上万的追随者，全都紧密关注着店铺的货品动态。 但是要完整体验Souq，你必须亲自登门拜访。 “我 们从客户那里听说，是店内的氛围让我们如此独 特， ”Koomson告诉我们。 “对我们而言真正重要的 是对顾客诚实以待。我知道所有店都这么说，但我们 以此为赖以生存的信条。来我们店里亲自验证吧。” michalsky.com, mcmworldwide.com, drmtm.com, souq-store.com

50: Guerilla Chic 时尚叛逆军

Kaviar Gauche十年前风风火火闯入时尚界，时 至今日仍以摇滚反叛精神影响风尚格局，Verity Hogan报道 globalblue.com

“我们的作品都是脱胎于矛盾与冲突的。我们喜欢 女人在优雅妩媚的同时，又带有些许叛逆。”Kaviar Gauche品牌自十年前在柏林成立之日起，就不断 突破时尚陈规。事实上，品牌亦是以一种叛逆的 姿态进入全球时尚圈视线的，设计师Alexandra Fischer-Roehler与Johanna Kühl曾于2004年在 巴黎时尚概念店Colette门外的大街上，上演了一场 游击时装秀。 在那以后，该品牌作为时装周主日程的一部分， 在巴黎进行过两场发布秀。品牌的2015春夏发布是 一场“成功且令人动容的时装秀， ”设计师表示。 “在巴 黎发布作品与在柏林截然不同。在巴黎，我们必须打 动那些可能从未听说过我们的国际观众。在德国， 无论在多小的镇上问一个对时尚多漠不关心的老 妇，她都很可能知道我们是谁。” 说Kaviar Gauche在全球范围内声名远播绝 不为过，他的典型顾客也远比普通德国老太太迷人 许多。品牌的主要受众是那些坚强、美丽与优秀的 女性，其拥趸包括德国女明星Heike Makatsch与 英国超模Rosie Huntingdon-Whitely。品牌宣扬 的美学是“结合摇滚元素、富有摩登魅力的女性化前 卫风格” ，设计师表示他们希望看到英国女星Keira Knightly与法国女星 Joséphine de la Baume穿着 自己的作品。 在2015年春夏，设计师们推出了一个可被视作 集过去十年来累积的设计经验、重要影响与灵感来 源之大成的系列。这个系列在阳刚与阴柔之间达到 完美平衡：设计师将女性化廓形与华丽夸张元素、 以及错置形态之间的流动体量感相结合，并以一组 浓烈而又柔和的色彩将其完美演绎。 设计灵感来自不同的源头，但柏林是品牌设计 中永不缺席的存在。 “除了那些对我们的工作流程 与设计有影响力的人们，我们挚爱的城市柏林赋予 我们场景、印象与灵感，指导着Kaviar Gauche的 风格， ” Kühl表示。 “但即便如此，不同的城市，尤其 是巴黎，也为我们提供了许多激发灵感的瞬间与概 念。”品牌在成立10周年之际，通过在柏林举办的一 次特别展览来纪念与这座城市千丝万缕的关系： “我 们就是觉得应该在柏林举办这次活动，如此我们才 能邀请到许多从一开始就相信并支持我们的人。” 从巴黎ESMOD学院的时装设计专业毕业 后，Kühl与Fischer-Roehler就以无造作的时髦 风格而为人所知。品牌得名于一句法语： “它来自 于“gauche caviar” ，可以被翻译为香槟社会主义。这 个词基本描述了我们的设计与消费理念， ”FischerRoehler解释道。Kaviar Gauche的作品经常将材 质、透明度与体量玩弄于股掌之间，创造出引人入 胜、具有摩登魅力的酷感诱惑。各种高级定制细节与 奢华面料的运用，则为其平添几分不可替代性。 品牌在德国境内的高认知度，归功于一系列高

水准的合作。在2008年，Kühl与Fischer-Roehler 为Karstadt集团创作了一个限量系列，包括70年 代风格的连衣裙、束腰外衣和上衣；他们还在2010 年推出了鞋履系列Görtz，并为自然美容品牌Dr Hauschka创作了限量版的化妆包。一系列合作是 基于共同的理念： “我们必须要理念一致。其他公司 需要认可我们的美学。否则无法合作， ”设计师解释

道。 “当然这是一项合作，你不能忽视合作方的意愿， 但他们必须信任我们。基于以上原则执行的项目，到 头来都非常成功。” 协同合作是Kühl与Fischer-Roehler最得心应 手的事之一，他们在已经一起工作了10年，几乎没 有什么创作上的分歧。 “当然，我们有时会持有不同 的看法，但这相当罕见，因为我们信任对方。”同时 拥有两位创意核心或许是该品牌具有招牌二元性的 原因；2015年春夏系列充满对比，将休闲随意的面 料与视觉效果强烈的几何图形相结合，制造出巨大 冲击力。 这是品牌的制胜法则，在成立10年之后品牌上 升的强烈势头丝毫不见减弱的迹象。 “我们正计划扩 大在国际市场的影响力， ”他们满怀信心。 “经营执照 的问题已经得到解决，现在我们正计划开设更多门 店；我们的零售店已经取得了巨大的成功。” 看来，德国的时尚叛逆分子正成为全球时尚界 社区里备受尊敬的成员。 kaviargauche.com
