SHE’S SO MODERN Max Mara’s latest collection has a decidedly modernist look compared with the neutral tones and understated sophistication for which it has become known. The trademark sleek and simple styles remain, but the use of sheer and shimmery fabrics, metallics and vivid colour blocking in electric blue, tangerine and violet adds an exciting edge. Satin slips, slinky separates and minimalist tailored jackets provide a fresh approach to luxury layering, making Max Mara our go-to brand for unequivocal city-chic style this summer. gl Max Mara, Mitropoleos 54, 546 23 Thessaloniki, +30 23 1028 4123, maxmara.com * for map go to page 52 globalblue.com

Styles inspired by classic Greek goddesses have maintained their enduring allure for centuries, writes Frances Wasem
PHOTO: EvErETT COllECTiOn/rEX
IMMORTAL APPEAL When Jennifer Lawrence walked onto the 2014 Golden Globes red carpet she was wearing a Grecianinspired white chifon dress. Lawrence’s flm-star presence was beautifully complemented by the substance and poise that only a goddess dress can give; this traditional Grecian costume indicates sophisticated, womanly style. The beauty of mythical Helen of Troy, resplendent in her classical Greek dress, was said to have started wars that laid cities to waste and it is perhaps that combination of ultimate femininity and absolute power that makes the style so enduring. As well, of course, as how it makes us feel. The original Greek dress, the chiton, was made of wool or linen, draped on the body and falling to the ankle. The fabric was clasped at the shoulders and the skirt was sometimes pleated. 60 /
63
A palla (shawl) was draped over one shoulder, leaving the other arm free. The chiton created an illusion of height, due to the diagonal line leading up the body. It was designed to skim the body, to keep the wearer cool, but still be feminine. Marchesa designer Georgina Chapman attributes the enduring appeal of the goddess dress to its fattering shape. ‘Draping frames the feminine shape very well,’ she says. ‘It hugs in the right places to defne the form, but it is still relaxed in its overall structure.’ The goddess dress is a recurring fashion trend. Mariano Fortuny designed the Delphos gown around 1907 and it remained popular for decades. This long, pleated dress owed its origins to Greece. Each dress was made out of a single piece of silk and Fortuny developed a special pleating process that meant the silk hugged the body.

But the best-known Grecianinspired designer was Madame Grès. The Parisian designer, who demonstrated a mastery of intricate drapery and impeccable cutting, opened her fashion house in 1942. Grès, who had trained as a sculptor, created elegant couture evening dresses in jersey silk. Many modern designers have been inspired by her designs, including Haider Ackermann, Azzedine Alaïa and Georgina Chapman, who says that Grès ‘treated draping fabric like she would sculpting stone. Her timeless designs still resonate today.’ In 2012 there was a resurrection of Grecian-style dresses, no doubt due to the Olympic Games. Greek
designer Sophia Kokosalaki shows one curated collection a year of draped and pleated dresses. Her wedding collection, launched in April 2012, was a sell out and an inspired leap: who doesn’t want to look like a goddess on her wedding day? Vionnet, a label Kokosalaki has designed for, is one of the best design houses for a modern take on goddess dressing. Its spring/summer 2014 collection features a draped dress in sheer navy silk, with blue shorts peeping provocatively from underneath. Donna Karan continually reinterprets Grecian draping in modern jersey fabric and Alber Elbaz at Lanvin rarely fails to reference draping. Elbaz’s designs make a woman feel

like a goddess; this is why women across the globe turn to him for unerringly feminine styles. This season Dolce & Gabbana was inspired by Sicily’s Greek roots, playfully loading models with coin belts and featuring chifon dresses printed with temples and coins. The infuence of their country’s heritage can also be seen in collections from some young Greek designers, including Anastasia Dosi, Polina Argyrou and Aida, whose spring/ summer 2014 collection includes feminine lines and chifon. Regardless of trends, it is, of course, how those dresses make us feel that’s really important. We associate the goddess dress with ultimate beauty and that’s
empowering. Hollywood understands this and has, over the decades, given us many versions of Helen of Troy. Think of Elizabeth Taylor in draped white silk in Elephant Walk or Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Grace Kelly, among the most idolised women of her generation, frst meets Cary Grant in To Catch a Thief wearing a blue chifon Grecian gown designed by Edith Head. ‘Grecian dresses are very easy to wear,’ says Chapman. ‘They’re comfortable, fuid and always look glamorous. They photograph very well from every angle, which is important on the red carpet.’ No wonder, then, that a new generation of 21st-century goddesses is on the rise

In recent years, contemporary and innovative design in Athens has grown tremendously, from architects inspired by bioclimatology and a cultural centre developed to support international artists to interior design boutiques stocking
the latest in contemporary and collectible furnishings. Athens has a rich past – but it is certainly not living in the past. Its famous historical sites attract visitors year after year, but not far from some of its well-known classical attractions,

two stores are making their mark on Athens’ interior design scene, and beyond. North of the Acropolis is Mofu, a design store in the heart of the old city that ofers vintage and contemporary pieces. Mofu’s managing director Demetris Demetriou sources furniture from Europe and the US and works with local interior designers and stylists to create innovative window displays. Inside the store, which opened in 2001, you’ll fnd a collectible mix of furniture, lighting, decorative items and wallpaper from the likes of Knoll, Herman Miller and Serge Mouille alongside contemporary designs from Magis, Cappellini and Tom Dixon. Demetriou fnds that value and quality both keep mid-century-style furnishings consistently popular. ‘Vintage furniture can be unique, especially if it’s made with exotic woods, which were both available and stylish at those times,’ he says. ‘Until recently, there hasn’t been anything major in furniture design since Bauhaus and the international style.’ Mofu can ship internationally
and Demetriou has also furnished some celebrity homes on several of the Greek islands. North-east of the old city is Kolonaki, a chic shopping district where you’ll fnd the Benaki museum alongside luxury stores. Near Dexameni square is Myran, a Scandinavian design store owned by Swedish-born Martin Olofsson and Athenian Myrto Papacharilaou. The shop provides a curated edit of the best of Scandinavian design and caters to architects and interior designers as well as customers seeking pieces

for their homes. Some of Myran’s recent projects include providing furniture for Aegean Airlines and hotels and villas in Santorini. West towards the sea is the Onassis Cultural Centre, which opened in 2010. This impressive building was the result of an international architectural competition arranged by the Onassis Foundation, an organisation which supports and promotes Greek artists and international collaborations. The competition was won by French architecture practice Architecture Studio and the building’s striking façade is made of white marble bands that refect the Attic light during the day and allow passers-by a peek into the auditorium at night.
Architect Pavlos Chatziangelides of 314 Architecture Studio has merged eco-friendly design and an industrial feel in an unlikely space. The concept of Enigma, a restaurant and café in a former industrial space on Karaiskaki street in the north-western suburb of Chaidari, was to turn the interior into a greenhouse. The result includes garden walls, which get sunlight from openings in the roof during summer months, graffti-painted concrete, wood fnishing, LC2 furniture and sculptures by designer Gianni Aspras. The building also has a bioclimatic shading system that uses perforated metal panels. ‘Bioclimatic architecture and energy efciency are some of the basic designing axes in my work in order to create a sustainable and moral architecture for present and future generations,’ says Chatziangelides. The result is a far from ordinary cofee house; it’s a unique visitor experience. Cabal, a club in the Gazi area, which renowned for its vibrant nightlife, is another of Chatziangelides’ projects. This area of Gazi is called Keramikos for the ancient ceramic factories located in the area from 500 BC, explains Chatziangelides. For the exterior of the club he reused ceramics from neoclassic houses from the 1900s to create a dark, textural exterior. Examples of contemporary architecture and design such as these help this ancient city keep pace with the modern world mofu.gr, myran.gr, sgt.gr, 314.gr

Greece’s culinary tradition dates back more than 4,000 years, and the country ofers a breadth of dishes that will satisfy both vegetarians and meat lovers, all based on the highest quality ingredients. Traditional menus feature deceptively simple dishes centred on quality produce, a balance of herbs and spices, and almost ubiquitous olive oil. Greece is rich in natural produce. The country’s cheeses, especially feta, are internationally acclaimed, while the Aegean and Ionian Seas are known for their clarity and abundance of fsh. globalblue.com
There are also regional diferences. Athens boasts arguably the most diverse dining scene thanks to its varied population, while the northern region, including Thessaloniki, has a slightly spicier cuisine thanks to a blend of Turkish and Middle Eastern infuences. Dining is one of the most important aspects of Greek culture and it is typically casual and convivial. The act of sharing a meal with family and friends is as important as the food itself, resulting in delightfully relaxed restaurants with well-devised décor.

Jewellery designer and athens native Paul Sarz always makes a nostalgic nod to the past in his standout collections and his pieces make ideal gifts. The designer favours a vintage aesthetic but his work still has a modern feel – even pieces inspired by the ancient world feel current due to the use of graphic symbols and bold lines. Pendants, rings and earrings are all available, while Sarz’s store interior refects his retro leanings with décor inspired by an antique apothecary. Paul Sarz, 4 Mavrokordatou, 106 78 athens, +30 21 0381 4144, paulsarz.com

Неугасающая Красота «Стиль, вдохновленный греческими богинями, несет в себе через века их неугасающую красоту» — пишет Фрэнсис Уэйсем Дженнифер Лоуренс приехала на церемонию Golden Globes 2014 в белом шифоновом платье в греческом стиле. Образ такой звезды как Лоуренс требовал особого состояния и духа, который способно выразить только одеяние богини. Традиционная греческая одежда актрисы подчеркнула ее изысканный женственный стиль. Говорят, что красота легендарной Елены Троянской в ее ослепительном классическом греческом платье становилась причиной войн, стирающих с лица земли целые города, и, возможно, именно сочетание необычайной женственности и абсолютной власти сделало этот стиль совершенно неподражаемым. Конечно, в такой одежде чувствуешь себя особенной. Оригинальное греческое платье, хитон, шилось из шерстяной или льняной ткани, струилось по телу и ниспадало до щиколоток. Ткань застегивалась на плечах, а нижняя его часть иногда была плиссированной. Палла застегивалась на одном плече, а вторая рука оставалась открытой. Благодаря диагональной линии globalblue.com
через всю фигуру хитон создавал иллюзию высокого роста. Он облегал фигуру, чтобы она выглядела смело и одновременно женственно. Модельер Джорджина Чапман утверждает, что секрет непреходящей красоты «платья богини» кроется в его удивительном силуэте. «Оно очень удачно ниспадает по женственной фигуре, — говорит она. — Оно подчеркивает необходимые формы, но в то же время кажется очень воздушным». «Платье богини» снова на слуху. Платье дельфос, созданное Мариано Фортуни приблизительно в 1907 году, десятилетиями оставалось в моде. Своим происхождением этот наряд обязан Греции. Каждое платье создавалось из цельного отреза шелка, при этом Фортуни придумал специальную форму складок, благодаря которой шелк нежно обнимал фигуру. Но самым знаменитым модельером, которого вдохновила Греция, бала Мадам Гре. Эта дизайнер из Парижа, демонстрировавшая высочайшее мастерство в сложной работе с тканями и в безупречных фасонах, открыла собственный дом моды в 1942 году. Используя свое образование скульптора, Гре создавала элегантные вечерние трикотажные платья. Ее работы вдохновили многих современных модельеров, среди которых Хайдер Аккерман, Аззедин Алайя и Джорджина Чапман, которая говорит, что Гре «обращалась с тканью так, будто ваяла скульптуру, а ее бессмертные модели до сих пор находят отклик в наших сердцах».
61 В 2012 году, во многом благодаря Олимпийским играм, началась новая эпоха греческих платьев. Один раз в год греческий модельер София Кокосалаки представляет свою уникальную коллекцию ниспадающих складками и плиссированных платьев. Ее свадебная коллекция, увидевшая свет в апреле 2012 года, имела огромный успех и стала настоящим прорывом: кто же откажется выглядеть, как богиня, на своей свадьбе? Vionnet — заказчик Кокосалаки — это один из лучших дизайнерских домов, создающих современные «платья богинь». В коллекции «весна/лето 2014» представлено ниспадающее складками платье из темно-синего шелка, с пикантными голубыми шортами. Донна Каран очень часто сочетает греческий покрой с современными трикотажными тканями, а Альбер Эльбаз из Lanvin редко упускает возможность использовать греческие складки. Модели Эльбаза помогают женщине почувствовать себя богиней, и именно поэтому женщины со всего мира обращаются к нему в поисках безупречного женственного стиля. В этом сезоне бренд Dolce & Gabbana вдохновлен сицилийскими греческими традициями, которые стали основой для игривых моделей с поясами из монеток и шифоновых платьев с принтами куполов и монет. Влияние наследия древнейшей страны также прослеживается в коллекциях некоторых молодых греческих дизайнеров, среди которых Анастасия Доси, Полина Аргироу и Аида, которая в коллекции «весна/лето 2014» предлагает женственный лен и шифон. Независимо от веяний моды то, как мы себя чувствуем в платье,
играет наиважнейшую роль. «Платье богини» ассоциируется у нас с истинной красотой, и это вдохновляет. Голливуд это знает, и за несколько десятилетий он представил нам уже несколько версий «Елены Троянской». Вспомните Элизабет Тейлор в белом шелковом складчатом платье в таких картинах, как «Слоновья тропа» или «Кошка на раскалённой крыше». Грейс Келли — одна из самых желанных женщин своего поколения — впервые встречает Кэри Гранта в фильме «Поймать вора» в голубом шифоновом греческом платье от Эдит Хэд. «Греческие платья очень легко носить, — говорит Чапман. — Они удобные, невесомые и всегда потрясающе смотрятся. Они прекрасно выглядят под любым ракурсом, что очень важно на красной ковровой дорожке». Неудивительно, что у нового поколения «платьев богинь» начинается новая жизнь в XXI веке.

Новый Взгляд Афины умеют удивить необычной инновационной архитектурой и дизайном даже в своих исторических районах. Карен Маннис собрала несколько самых ярких примеров В последние годы в Афинах отмечается большое оживление в области современного новаторского проектирования, создающееся архитекторами, увлеченными идеей биоклиматологии, центром культуры, поддерживающим иностранных художников, а также бутиками интерьера, предлагающими лучшую ультрасовременную или антикварную обстановку. У
62 Афин богатое прошлое, но город определенно живет в настоящем. Ежегодно сюда приезжают туристы, чтобы полюбоваться историческими достопримечательностями, однако на искусство интерьера в Афинах влияют не только хорошо известная нам классика, но и два знаменитых магазина дизайна. К северу от Акрополя, в самом сердце старого города, расположен дизайнерский магазин Mofu, предлагающий винтажные и современные решения. Управляющий директор магазина Деметрис Деметриу выставляет здесь мебель из Европы и США, а его креативные инновационные витрины оформляют местные дизайнеры интерьера и стилисты. Магазин был открыт в 2001 году, и сегодня здесь можно найти уникальное сочетание мебели, светильников, элементов декора и обоев от таких брендов, как Knoll, Herman Miller и Serge Mouille, а также современные решения от Magis, Cappellini и Tom Dixon. Деметриу считает, что неизменная популярность мебели середины прошлого века обусловлена ценностью и качеством ее исполнения. «Винтажная мебель может быть уникальной, особенно если она изготовлена из экзотических пород дерева, которые в прошлом были доступными и модными, — говорит он. — До недавнего времени в дизайне мебели не было ничего более интересного, чем Bauhaus и интернациональный стиль». Mofu организовывает доставку покупок и в другие страны, а сам Деметриу обставлял дома некоторых знаменитостей на островах Греции. К северо-востоку от старого города расположился роскошный

торговый район Колонаки с музеем Бенаки и элитными магазинами. Недалеко от площади Дексамени находится магазин скандинавского дизайна Myran, которым владеют швед Мартин Олофссон и афинянин Мирто Папахарилау. Здесь вас ждут лучшие образцы скандинавского дизайна, которые привлекут как архитекторов и дизайнеров интерьера, так и обычных покупателей, желающих приобрести что-то для дома. Среди недавних проектов Myran можно упомянуть поставку мебели для компании Aegean Airlines, а также для отелей и вилл на Санторини. К западу по направлению к морю расположен Культурный центр Онассиса, открытый в 2010 году. Это впечатляющее здание стало результатом международного архитектурного состязания, организованного Фондом Онассиса, поддерживающим греческих художников и развивающим международное сотрудничество. В конкурсе победила французская архитектурная студия Architecture Studio, в результате чего появилось строение с восхитительным фасадом с поясами из белого мрамора, отражающее огни Афин днем и приглашающее заглянуть в его аудитории ночью. Архитектор Павлос Хатциангелидес из 314 Architecture Studio добился оригинального сочетания экологичного дизайна с индустриальной ноткой. Концепция ресторана и кафе Enigma в бывшей промышленной зоне на улице Karaiskaki в северо-западном пригороде Хайдари, заключалась в создании интерьера в виде оранжереи. Так появились садовая ограда, пропускающая свет
63 через отверстия в крыше летом, разрисованный граффити бетон, деревянная отделка, мебель LC2 и скульптуры дизайнера Джанни Аспраса. Здание также оборудовано биоклиматической системой затемнения с использованием перфорированных металлических панелей. «Биоклиматическая архитектура и энергоэффективность являются одними из главных векторов в моей работе, поскольку я стремлюсь создавать рациональные и не претящие моральным устоям решения для настоящего и будущих поколений» — говорит Хатциангелидес. В результате получилась совершенно нетипичная кофейня, оставляющая у посетителей бесподобные воспоминания. Еще одним проектом Хатциангелидеса стал клуб Cabal в Гази, район которого славится своей яркой ночной жизнью. Как говорит Хатциангелидес, это место в Гази называют Керамикос, поскольку с 500 года до нашей эры здесь находились древние керамические фабрики. Для создания темного текстурного фасада мастер использовал вторичную керамику от неоклассических домов 1900-х. Подобные примеры современной архитектуры и дизайна помогают городу идти в ногу со временем. mofu.gr, myran.gr, sgt.gr, 314.gr
