LESS IS MORE

For spring/summer 2016, Nudie Jeans is going back to its Gothenburg roots. The jean brand’s home town in spring is a rich source of inspiration, particularly its romantic palette of foggy greys and thistle greens mixed with light indigo and raven black, which are all apparent in the latest collection. The look is ‘utilitarian meets contemporary heritage’, with classic washed jeans featuring a broken-in, heavy-worn look, made to be worn with weathered chambray tops and camouflage bombers. Sustainability is at the heart of the brand’s production process, and everything is made from organic cotton and other ethically sourced materials. rd Nudie Jeans, Vallgatan 15, 411 16 Gothenburg, +46 (0)31 609360, nudiejeans.com FOR M A P GO TO PAGE 40

WEAR IT WELL

Fans of Scandinavian minimalism will be in their element at Whyred’s Gothenburg store. The Swedish label’s clothing for men and women is based based on classic styles with edge, often inspired by modern art and popular music: its signature parka jackets are a perfect example of this. For spring/summer 2016, Whyred’s creative director and co-founder Roland Hjort has created a wearable collection where clean lines and boxy shapes – in the form of oversized trench coats, button-down shirts and simple dresses – are the order of the day. th Whyred, Södra Larmgatan 13, 411 16 Gothenburg, +46 (0)31 711 3000, whyred.com

SMALL PLEASURES

SOUND UNSEEN

When Stockholm-based Mini Rodini came on the scene in 2006, it signalled a revolution in childrenswear.

Founder Cassandra Rhodin’s designs were playful, colourful and creative. While the label’s quality and ethical credentials won over parents, the garments themselves appealed to children because they were fun and unlike anything else on the market at the time. In fact, when the frst collection of cotton prints debuted in Sweden, they sold out almost immediately. Today, the brand is carried in over 500 locations around the world, including Selfridges in London and Barneys in New York. th Mini Rodini, Vallgatan 22, 411 16 Gothenburg, +46 (0)31 711 2319, minirodini.com

Growing up in Stockholm, brothers Mathias and Michael Klingvall shared a passion for music and a fedgling business making speakers. Almost 30 years later, they rekindled their interest and launched Vain Sthlm, with its line of in-ear headphones. Available in black, white, grey, pale pink, soft blue-green and dark brown, they combine sleek looks and exacting build quality to ofer a frst-class audio experience. rd 3 Butiken, Kungsgatan 56, 411 08 Gothenburg, +46 (0)735 440104, vainsthlm.com

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT

Two of Gothenburg’s oldest department stores have been furnishing shoppers with stylish apparel for 280 years between them.

Hannah Lewis discovers the secrets of their longevity

Gothenburg, now the second largest city in Sweden, is also one of the most culturally modern, and it would be easy to forget the centuries of history that have made it what it is today. Yet the city’s past is a constant influence on its present.

In fact, two of Gothenburg’s most successful department stores, Gillblads and Ströms, are not just influenced by the city’s history, they’re part of it.

46

Celebrating its 150th anniversary this year, Gillblads has stood at the same location on Korsgatan since its founding in 1866, when it filled a whole six floors – an enormous space at the time – with a wide variety of goods. In its early days the store offered fashion along with a range of accessories, beauty products and interior design objects, as well as producing its own hats, furs, jewellery and more.

26 | F E AT U R E S

Today the focus is more firmly on fashion, but the founding principles remain the same: excellent quality and service, and the best range of products possible.

From international names including Armani Collezioni to noteworthy Swedish brands such as Stylein, the range is expertly curated. ‘It has always been important that there are unique brands and products in the store that are not seen everywhere,’ explains Gillblads’ owner Mikael Olsson, whose family acquired the store in 1983. For Olsson, there is one crucial element that has ensured the company’s longevity: customer service. ‘It’s number one, no more, no less,’ he says.

This is what keeps visitors returning time and again. Staff members are expertly trained,

Above (from top): Gillblads in earlier times; the store today

and its most loyal customers know that they will be greeted on each visit by a friendly face who understands their personal needs. An in-store tailor adds to the feeling of luxury. It is these little details, the extras that come as standard when you shop at Gillblads, that set the store apart.

With 150 years of experience in pleasing discerning clients, the team naturally excels, and great service will never go out of style.

Ströms may be a little younger than Gillblads – it celebrates its 130th year in 2016 – but is still one of the city’s oldest retail spaces, and also something of an institution in Gothenburg. In 1886, founder Carl Hilmer Ström opened a small tailoring and clothing store on Torggatan. Over the next few

Above: Ströms window display in 1933

decades, it grew to become one of the city’s largest menswear specialists; so much so that a change of premises became necessary, and in 1935 Ströms found a new home, in the six-storey building on Kungsgatan where it can still be found today.

For Ströms, the secret of success has always been similar to that embraced by Gillblads: to offer only high-quality, modern goods, a simple but effective approach that continues to hold strong. Top international names from the luxury market, including Boss, Max Mara Weekend, Polo Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger, can all be found here, as can the best local brands, such as Björn Borg and Tiger of Sweden.

28 | F E AT U R E S

For Ulf Rudhag, managing director at Ströms, it is not just the products but the service that sets them apart. ‘We aim to have nothing less than the best customer service in Scandinavia,’ he states confidently.

As well as being served by expert salespeople and a team of skilled tailors, the department store’s best customers are classed as VIPs and treated to special services and events, a host of which have been scheduled to celebrate the anniversary this year.

Both stores, in fact, will be inviting customers old and new to celebrate with them in 2016. From shopping events to new brand launches, each is using its anniversary to celebrate and reinforce the great quality and service that have carried them through the decades. Gillblads is renovating its entire space, Above: inside Ströms department store

beginning with a stylish upgrade to its well-stocked women’s department. Ströms will hold special events, as well as offering discounts and even giveaways.

So what do the next 150 years promise for these two Gothenburg stalwarts? For Olsson, the winning formula that Gillblads has developed doesn’t need changing, it just needs to adapt to the times. ‘We will continue to strive to deliver the best personal service … using the latest techniques combined with a unique assortment [of products], custom picked for our clients.’ Rudhag replies in similar vein: ‘Ströms will renew itself and always be updated, but the fundamentals will not change.’ And neither will the location. ‘We could hardly move from a spot that is called ‘Ströms corner’ by locals!’

Gothenburg’s food trucks turn lunchtimes into a gourmet experience, says Ashlee Beard

The take-away, or ‘gatukök’ as it’s known in Swedish, has been a part of Sweden’s food culture since the early 1950s. Those seeking a quick food fx will fnd hotdog stands and falafel kiosks on many a street corner. However, in a move to up the city’s culinary game, in 2014 Gothenburg’s council ofered 10 gourmet entrepreneurs permits to roll into town in a range of central locations. Today the number of trucks has more than doubled and there is even an app, Streetkäk, to globalblue.com

enable customers to track each one.

This summer Götaplatsen, a busy square in the middle of the town and one of the most popular of the 20-plus designated locations citywide, will once again launch Street Food Saturdays, a weekly event that marries food and live music, evoking a festival feel in the heart of the city. Reinventing the idea of fast food with local, seasonal produce and a gourmet approach, Gothenburg’s food trucks are taking lunch to the next level.

H A R RYS With more than 40 restaurants around the country, Harrys has become something of a national institution since it was founded in 1993, thanks to its Swedish-tavern-meetsAmerican-diner staples made from responsibly sourced ingredients and cooked to perfection. Last year it joined the food truck revolution, with

street-food adaptations of menu favourites for diners on the go: apple pork with tartare sauce, onions and pretzel, say, or smoked salmon with salad and celery remoulade, along with imaginative vegetarian options. Satisfy a sweet craving with a slice of radiokaka (‘hedgehog slice’), a wonderfully rich chocolate creation that’s one of the nation’s favourite desserts. harrys.se

In 2014, restaurant chefs Rasmus Strand, Mats-Peter Kristiansen and Fredrik Robertsson decided to take their culinary expertise on the road, attracted by the idea of serving up their ‘slow’ fast food somewhere diferent every day, from a forest clearing, perhaps, to an ofce. All the ingredients are local and ethically sourced.

The changing menu is inspired by seasonal products, but favourites such as pulled pork or beef brisket sandwiches, served with homemade kimchi and garlic and chili mayonnaise, have become staples. spirafood.se

HOLA CEVICHE Mexican-born Mayra Benítez Poyo’s original dream was to open a restaurant serving ceviche – a traditional Latin American dish made from fresh raw fsh – but her culinary trajectory took a more mobile globalblue.com

route and she instead set up shop in a truck. Taking the traditional Mexican recipe as her starting point, Mayra substitutes fsh indigenous to her native land with locally sourced salmon and cod for a Nordic twist, serving it with quinoa or coconut rice and authentic Mexican guacamole. holaceviche.com

24: Practice Makes Perfect 熟能生巧 哥德堡最古老的两家百货商店经营历 史相加超过280年，不断为购物者们 提供时尚前卫的服饰。Hannah Lewis为您揭开其长盛不衰的奥秘

地颇广，满满六层楼的商品琳琅满目。 该店早期不单经营时装，还出售各色 各样的饰品、美妆产品、室内设计品， 更有独家制作的帽子、皮草、珠宝等 等。 如今的Gillblads更加坚定地专注 于时尚，创店理念却传承如初：无瑕品 质和服务，尽善尽美的产品荟萃。从 Armani Collezioni等国际大牌到 Stylein等值得关注的瑞典本土品 牌，Gillblads旗下的产品皆由行家精心 甄选。 “我们销售的品牌和产品要有特 色，不能是随处可见的货色，这一点一 直很重要， ”店主Mikael Olsson解释 道。他的家族于1983年接手

如今的哥德堡不仅是瑞典第二大城市， 更是最具现代文艺气息的宝地之一，令 人很容易忘记这座城市背后的数百年历 史。但是，哥德堡的过去其实一直影响 着它的今天。事实上，哥德堡最成功的 两大百货商店Gillblads和Ströms不仅 为城市的历史所影响，更是这长长历史 的一部分。

将在今年迎来150周年店庆的 Gillblads位于Korsgatan，自1866年创 店至今从未搬迁。当年的Gillblads占

衰的关键元素是：为顾客服务。 “这是 头等大事，无法超越、不可怠慢。” 这便是为什么顾客会络绎不绝地一 再造访这里。最忠实的顾客深知，每一 次到访都能被友好的笑脸迎接。训练有 素的店员对顾客的个人需求了如指掌， 驻店裁缝更为购物体验平添一丝奢侈 感受。在店内购物时，正是这些锦上添 花、完善至臻的小细节，让Gillblads与 其他卖场高下立现。Gillblads服务团队 已有150年的经验，深谙如何为品位独 到的顾客带来愉悦体验，自然脱颖而 出。绝佳的服务永远不会过时。 2016年，Ströms百货商店将迎来 130周年店庆。比之Gillblads，它或许 是年轻一些，但依然是哥德堡最古老 的零售卖场之一，在这座城市堪称家

喻户晓。1886年，创始人Carl Hilmer Ström在Torggatan开设了一家小型 定制裁衣铺。在此后的几十年中，它逐 渐成长为哥德堡最大型的男装专营店， 规模之巨令迁址显得势在必行。1935 年，Ströms百货找到了新家，也就是 如今位于Kungsgatan的六层高楼。 Ströms的成功秘诀一直与 Gillblads相似：采取一种简单却高 效、稳固的策略，即只提供高品质、现 代化的产品。这里不仅有Boss、Max Mara Weekend、Polo Ralph Lauren 和Tommy Hilfiger等国际 奢侈品大牌，还有Björn Borg和 Tiger of Sweden等一流本土品牌。 对于总经理Ulf Rudhag来说，令 Ströms与众不同的不仅是产品，更是 服务。 “在斯堪的纳维亚，我们的目标 是提供一丝不苟、至臻完美的顾客服 务， ”他自信地说道。除了安排专业的 globalblue.com

导购员和技艺精湛的裁缝竭诚服 务，Ströms还将最优质的顾客群设定 为VIP，并提供特别的服务与活动；不 少VIP顾客已经受邀参加今年的店庆 仪式。 事实上，两家店都会邀请新老顾 客参加2016年店庆。从各种购物节到 新品牌发布会，无一不是利用周年庆 典，将延续了几十年的至臻品质和服 务发扬光大。Gillblads正在对整个商 场翻新改造，首先便是让库存颇丰的 女装部时尚变身；Ströms则将举办特 别活动，并提供折扣甚至是赠品。 那么在下一个150年里，哥德堡这 两大主力商场会有何建树？对Olsson 来说，Gillblads的取胜经无需更改，只 要充分适应不断变化的时代： “我们会 继续竭尽全力，提供最好的个人服 务……采用最新技术，为我们的顾客量 身甄选独一无二的（产品）种

类。”Rudhag的回答也如出一 辙： “Ströms会自我更新，不断升级，但 根本理念不会变。”当然，店址也不会改 变。 “我们几乎不可能搬走，这个地方可 是被当地人称作‘Ströms之角’的啊！”
