TIME TRAVEL

HOMAGE TO JAPAN

Created specifcally with frequent travellers in mind, the Montblanc TimeWalker WorldTime Hemispheres watches are a necessity for globetrotters. They simultaneously display the time in all of the world’s 24 time zones, while the local time wherever the wearer is located is shown by the hands. The names of 24 cities, representing the 24 time zones, are written around the dial and a 24-hour disc indicates the hours at each location. The watch is available in a northern and a southern hemisphere version, each bearing the names of the cities situated in that hemisphere, and shows a map of the earth with the North or South Pole as its centre. Rest assured that, as each version bears the other’s place names on the back of its case, you will be up to date in the north, south, east and west. irs Montblanc, Königsallee 22, 40212 Düsseldorf, +49 (0)211 323 8994, montblanc.com * for map go to page 70

D체sseldorf has a deep and rich cultural heritage, Ruairidh Pritchard discovers

The place which began as a small village on the banks of the river Düssel has now evolved to become the centre of German art and culture. With over 100 art galleries and museums, combined with a culture that is steeped in artistic heritage, Düsseldorf is the unrivalled artistic heart of Germany. The city’s love afair with the arts began in the early 1700s. When the city was under the rule of Johann Wilhelm, who was famed for his vast art collection, Düsseldorf’s castle

was transformed into one of the grandest art galleries in Europe, and for centuries since, world-renowned painters, sculptors and performance artists have helped to expand and mould the cultural life of the city. Today Düsseldorf is home to the most galleries per capita in Germany, with a mix of historic German and international artwork, from expressionist artists including Paul Klee and Otto Dix, to classic modernists such as Oskar Schlemmer and Karl Hofer and

contemporary artists Gerhard Richter and Andy Warhol. The largest collection of art in the city is held by the North Rhine-Westphalia state, which has three world-class galleries here: K20 Grabbeplatz, K21 Ständehaus and F3 Schmela Haus. K20 Grabbeplatz opened in 1986 and the building’s grand, glossy black glass façade houses two vast, column-free exhibition halls which contain more than 5,000 square metres Above: Paul Klee, Kamel in rhythmischer Baumlandschaf, 1920

of gallery space. Here, art lovers can marvel at the vast collection of classic modernism and American pop art. Recent collections have included works by prolifc European artists such as abstract expressionist Mark Rothko and conceptual artist Daniel Buren, whose works have drawn crowds of art enthusiasts.

K21 Ständehaus opened in 2002 to house North Rhine-Westphalia’s impressive collection of modern art. The building, designed by German architecture frm Kiessler & Partner, comprises four wings connected by stunning arcades, all set around a modern reinterpretation of the classic public piazza. With its glorious glass dome roof, the building is not only instantly recognisable as the area’s hub of modern art, but features a large sculptural garden on the top foor with beautiful panoramic views across the Rhine valley. The most recent addition to North Rhine-Westphalia’s portfolio is F3 Schmela Haus, a stunning building located in the heart of the city’s Old Town. It is a perfect example of 1960s European cubic-brutalist architecture and perfectly ofsets the area’s traditional charm. Those who have exhibited here include Jordan Wolfson, whose multimedia works incorporate flm and photography, and Polish duo Janusz Bąkowski and Piotr Bosacki, whose work covers literary and musical themes across audio, video, animation and sculpture.

The venue is now focusing on holding weekly discussions on a range of topics. The focus on emerging artists is no surprise, as the city’s art academy Kunstakademie Düsseldorf has been producing world-class artists for decades. Over the years, artists including Joseph Beuys, Gerhard Richter and Thomas Demand have studied at the academy and launched their careers in the city, benefting from Düsseldorf’s support for the arts and appreciation of new artists. A good place in which to see the work of emerging talent is the Kunstraum, a large public gallery which opened in 1995 to showcase young artists looking to launch their careers in the city. With its long history of galleries, worldclass arts academy, international renowned alumni and outstanding state-owned collections, Düsseldorf is at the heart of Europe’s arts culture and is a destination no art lover should miss kunstsammlung.de, kunstraum-duesseldorf.de

GOING German fashion label Gerry Weber has been a leader in its feld for decades.

FOR Sally McIlhone fnds out about its plans for the future

GOld

In four decades, Gerry Weber has launched fve diverse womenswear brands and opened 850 stores; it is so successful that the brand is now stocked in over 60 countries worldwide. And that’s just the German label’s fashion arm. Now an accomplished lifestyle company, Gerry Weber also owns and operates a 13,000-seat stadium, a golf course, and an events and conference centre; the company even welcomes an elite clientele at its Sportpark hotel in Düsseldorf. This exceptionally wide-reaching

83 /

21st-century retail empire is a far cry from Gerry Weber’s roots, as a humble manufacturer of women’s trousers. Yet, rather than rest on its laurels, for spring/summer 2014 Gerry Weber is poised to embark on further expansion – with such a rapid upward trajectory, it is becoming the German brand to watch. Ralph Weber, general manager of Gerry Weber’s retail division and a descendant of the founder, took time out of his hectic schedule to discuss the label’s success.

Founded in 1973 by Udo Hardieck and the brand’s namesake, Gerhard Weber, the label sought to fuse fashion and lifestyle from the outset. Firmly positioned in the mid-priced womenswear market for the last 40 years, Gerry Weber ofers covetable garments at more afordable prices than designer collections, but with an elevated level of quality than that found in most high street stores. ‘All Gerry Weber brands are positioned as bridges to the premium segment and ofer a high-quality standard and an excellent ft. But each of the brand families is targeted at a clearly defned group,’ says Ralph Weber. It’s this tailored approach that has led to the brand building fve successful labels to please a wide range of modern women – Gerry Weber mainline, casualwear label Gerry Weber Edition, Samoon by Gerry Weber for fuller fgured ladies, and the GW and Taifun lines which cater to a younger, more trend-conscious audience.

Unlike most globally successful German brands, Gerry Weber established its headquarters not in the buzzing metropolis of Berlin but in Halle (Westfalen), two hours from Düsseldorf and Cologne. All of the brand’s key departments are contained within one central location, improving creative efciency. ‘The sales, retail, pattern, design and production departments are now located under one roof,’ Ralph Weber explains. ‘We have built a modern complex for employees which optimises cooperation and creates synergies within an open and creative atmosphere.’ Gerry Weber World can also be found in Halle (Westfalen), home of the Gerry Weber Stadium, the Sportpark hotel and a 27-hole golf course. According to the company, this is ‘a complete universe around the fashion brands’. In addition, since 1993 Gerry Weber has been running the Gerry Weber Open tennis

event, which was conceived and managed by Ralph Weber. ‘This is the only German ATP lawn-tennis tournament featuring stars from sport and entertainment. The media coverage reaches 120 countries,’ Ralph says. ‘The tournament not only increases recognition of the Gerry Weber group, but also associates a cosmopolitan image with the brand.’ Another factor that has improved the cosmopolitan view of Gerry Weber is the opening of the Halle 29 and Halle 30 showrooms on the outskirts of Düsseldorf. These two vast spaces entice international buyers to peruse Gerry Weber’s full collections each season. ‘By investing in these showroom complexes, we are signalling that Düsseldorf is a fashion centre. Every year, more and more overseas customers attend events and order from us. We have customers from Russia, the Middle East, the Far East, Canada and from Europe.’

‘We increasingly see ourselves as a global player’ Ralph Weber

Responsible for ‘internationalising’ the brand, Ralph Weber’s innovative ideas have helped raise Gerry Weber’s profle to such an extent that it is now launching in several new territories across the globe. ‘After having successfully doubled the number of our stores, especially in Germany and Austria, we are now focusing on expanding our retail activities in other European countries,’ he explains. The expansion will include the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland and Sweden; stores will open in Prague and Stockholm, among other locations. ‘We increasingly see ourselves as a global player and will expand our international activities signifcantly,’ he concludes. From Toronto to Tallinn, the Gerry Weber vision of style is making itself felt across the world gerryweber.com

Walter Steiger footwear is instantly recognisable; designs are universally uncluttered and minimalist with clean lines, while the materials used are always of the highest quality. The company was founded in 1932 and since then has become known for combining traditional production methods with innovative design. Fluorescent leathers, coloured transparent plastics and sandals with heel zippers were all Steiger developments; today, the brand also has a complementary accessory range and continues to challenge convention.

The Düsseldorfer schauspielhaus was designed in 1970 by architect Bernhard pfau and since then has become one of the city’s most distinctive structures. The building represents the organic architecture movement and its curved exterior, with wave-like graduations, is said to echo the movement of a theatre curtain. The theatre is equally impressive; two halls cater to difering audience sizes while the programme ofers an engaging mix of respected classics and modern works.

Родина немецкого искусства Дюссельдорф имеет необычайно богатое и ценное культурное наследие, – рассказывает Руайрид Притчард Небольшая деревушка, некогда располагавшаяся вдоль берегов реки Дюссель, с течением времени превратилась в крупнейший культурный центр всей Германии. Дюссельдорф насчитывает более 100 картинных галерей и различных музеев, хранящих ценнейшее культурное наследие страны. Все началось еще в далеком 1700 году во времена правления Иоганна Вильгельма, известного своей обширной коллекцией произведений искусств. Благодаря его инициативе знаменитый Дюссельдорфский замок был превращен в сокровищницу европейского искусства, куда на протяжении веков свой вклад вносило не одно поколение выдающихся художников и скульпторов. Сегодня Дюссельдорф может похвастаться самым большим количеством галерей на globalblue.com

душу населения. Среди множества картин немецких и европейских художников здесь можно встретить работы экспрессионистов Пауля Клее и Отто Дикса, модернистов Оскара Шлеммера и Карла Хофера, а также ряд современников, включая Герхарда Рихтера и Энди Уорхола. Самая многочисленная коллекция полотен сосредоточена в трех основных галереях: K20 Grabbeplatz, K21 Ständehaus и Schmela Haus. Галерея K20 Grabbeplatz открылась в 1986 году в монументальном здании из черного стекла. Внутри находятся два выставочных зала, общая площадь которых составляет более 5000 метров квадратных. Посетители обнаружат здесь внушительное собрание работ представителей классического модернизма и американского поп-арта. Последние коллекции включают работы ряда талантливых европейских художников, включая экспрессиониста Марка Ротко и концептуалиста Даниэля Бурена. Для того чтобы выставить все имеющиеся коллекции современного искусства, в 2002 году в Дюссельдорфе было решено открыть еще одну галерею – K21 Ständehaus. äдание, спроектированное немецким конструкторским бюро Kiessler & Partner, имеет четыре крыла, которые соединены между собой системой

изящных арок и сводов. Интерьер галереи выполнен в виде старинной базарной площади в современной интерпретации, а крыша имеет форму грандиозного стеклянного купола. На последнем этаже K21 Ständehaus расположен уникальный сад скульптур, а из окон открывается превосходная панорама на долину Рейна. Один из самых последних проектов Дюссельдорфа – галерея F3 Schmela Haus. Она расположена в центре Старого города в весьма необычном здании, которое было построено в стиле европейского брутализма 1960-х годов и поэтому гармонично вписывается в местный архитектурный ландшафт. äдесь выставлялся Джордан Вольфсон со своей мультимедийной экспозицией, представляющей собой синтез кинематографа и фотографии, а также польский дуэт – Януша Баковски и Петра Босацки, работа которых объединила музыку, видео, анимацию и скульптуру. На сегодняшний день галеря фокусируется на проведении еженедельных дебатов на различные темы. Повышенное внимание к молодым талантам здесь ни у кого не вызывает удивления, ведь уже не одно десятилетие подряд городская академия искусств Kunstakademie Düsseldorf продолжает готовить первоклассных художников. Множество знаменитостей, включая Йозефа Бойса, Герхарда Рихтера и Томаса Деманда, закончили местную академию и построили здесь свою карьеру. А все благодаря дюссельдорфской программе, направленной на поддержку искусства и молодых живописцев. Многие из работ молодых талантов можно увидеть в картинной галерее Kunstraum, которая открылась в 1995 году в рамках проекта по поддержке молодых художников, только начинающих свою карьеру. Дюссельдорф по праву является сокровищницей европейской культуры благодаря своим многочисленным галереям, академиям художеств, знаменитым на весь мир талантам и их выдающимся коллекциям. Это одно из тех мест, которые любители искусства ни в коем случае не должны пропустить. kunstsammlung.de, kunstraum-duesseldorf.de

50: Going For Gold

Золото Рейна

Немецкая марка модной одежды Gerry Weber на протяжении многих десятилетий удерживает лидирующие позиции в своей области. Салли Макэлхон рассказывает о планах бренда на будущее

За какие-то четыре десятилетия компании Gerry Weber удалось запустить 5 различных брендов женской одежды и открыть 850 новых магазинов в 60-ти странах мира. И это если считать только линию одежды. Сегодня Gerry Weber – мультибрендовая компания, владеющая стадионом на 13 000 мест, полем для гольфа и конгресс-центром; на случай приема важных гостей в компании даже имеется собственный отель «Sportpark» в Дюссельдорфе. Кто бы мог подумать, что история этого крупнейшего в Германии ритейл-гиганта началась со скромного производства женских брюк. Не желая почивать на лаврах, компания продолжает непрерывно работать над новыми и новыми проектами, и вот нас уже ждет новая весенне-летняя коллекция 2014. Руководитель отдела розничной торговли Gerry Weber и потомок основателя Ральф Вебер нашел свободную минуту в своем плотном графике и согласился обсудить секреты популярности бренда. Компания была основана в 1973 году Удо Хардиком и Герхардом Вебером, которые с самого начала стремились связать воедино моду и образ жизни. Последние 40 лет Gerry Weber, занимает среднюю ценовую категорию на рынке, предлагая стильную женскую одежду по ценам более доступным, чем дизайнерские коллекции, но в то же время более качественную по сравнению с недорогими марками. «Продукция брендов Gerry Weber отвечает самым высоким стандартам качества и комфорта, и поэтому является хорошей альтернативой премиумклассу. Кроме того, каждое направление бренда имеет свою целевую группу», – говорит Ральф Вебер. Именно такой децентрализованный подход послужил основой для открытия пяти успешных направлений, способных удовлетворить широкий круг потребностей современных женщин, сюда входят: основная линия одежды Gerry Weber, линия повседневной одежды Gerry Weber Edition, одежда больших размеров – Samoon by Gerry Weber, а также линии GW и Taifun для стильной молодежной аудитории. В отличие от большинства успешных globalblue.com

немецких брендов, штаб-квартира Gerry Weber располагается не в шумном мегаполисе Берлина, а в Халле (Вестфален), в двух часах езды от Дюссельдорфа и Кельна. Все ключевые отделы компании сосредоточены в одном месте, что значительно повышает эффективность работы. «Отделы продаж и розничной торговли, а также дизайнерскоконструкторский отдел находятся под одной крышей», – поясняет Ральф Вебер. «Мы построили современный офисный комплекс, который значительно оптимизирует процесс сотрудничества, обеспечивая благоприятную творческую атмосферу». Здесь же в Халле расположился масштабный комплекс Gerry Weber World, включающий стадион Gerry Weber, отель Sportpark и поле для гольфа, насчитывающее 27 лунок. По мнению компании, это «целая вселенная модных брендов». Кроме того, начиная с 1993 года, Gerry Weber проводит теннисный турнир Gerry Weber Open, идея создания которого принадлежит Ральфу Веберу. «Это единственный немецкий теннисный турнир АТР с участием звезд спорта и шоу-бизнеса. Его освещение в средствах массовой информации распространяется на 120 стран мира», – говорит Ральф. «Данный турнир говорит не только о широком признании компании Gerry Weber, но и придает ей космополитический образ». Еще одним фактором, обеспечившим популярность Gerry Weber, было открытие выставочных залов Halle 29 и Halle 30 на окраине Дюссельдорфа. Каждый новый сезон сюда съезжаются байеры из разных стран мира в поисках новых коллекций. «Инвестируя в эти выставочные площадки, мы хотим показать, что Дюссельдорф является центром моды. С каждым годом все больше покупателей посещают наши мероприятия и делают заказы. У нас очень много покупателей из России, стран Ближнего Востока, Азии, Канады и Европы». Ральф Вебер, ответственный за «глобализацию» бренда, расширил присутствие Gerry Weber еще на семь стран. «После того, как нам удалось удвоить количество магазинов в Германии и Австрии

мы решили сосредоточиться на расширении нашей розничной сети в других европейских странах», – говорит он. Это в первую очередь коснется таких стран, как Чехия, Словакия, Польша и Швеция; новые магазины откроются также в Праге и Стокгольме. «Выход на международный рынок становится для нас все более актуальным, поэтому мы намерены значительно расширить нашу внешнеэкономическую деятельность», заключает он. Так, постепенно Gerry Weber заявляет о своем видении моды всему миру от Торонто до Таллина. gerryweber.com

杜塞尔多夫拥有多元且深厚的文化遗产。跟随Ruairidh Pritchard一同发现曾经杜塞尔河岸上的一座小村庄，如今的德国艺术与文化中心。拥有100多间画廊与博物馆，及被艺术遗产浸润的本土文化的杜塞尔多夫，是无可匹敌的德国艺术心脏。城市与艺术的缘分始于18 世纪初。当时这座城市的统治者，是以拥有庞大艺术收藏而闻名的Johann Wilhelm，杜塞尔多夫的城堡被改造成欧洲最宏大的

艺廊之一，自那以后的几个世纪里，世界知名的画家、雕塑家与表演艺术家纷至沓来，繁荣并重塑了这座城市的文化生活。今日的杜塞尔多夫是德国人均拥有画廊最多的城市，从德国历史作品到国际艺术品，从表现主义艺术家如Paul K lee与Ott Dix，到新古典主义的Oskar Schlemmer，Karl Hofer，以及当代艺术家Gerhard Richter与Andy Warhol。城中规模最大的艺术收藏属于北莱茵¬— —威斯特法伦州所有，其中包含三座世界级的艺廊：K20 Grabbeplatz，K21 Ständehaus与 Schmela Haus。 K20 Grabbeplatz于1986年开幕，这座有着黑色反光玻璃幕墙的宏伟建筑，容纳着两个巨大的无柱展示厅，包含超过5000平方米的展览空间。在此，艺术爱好者无不为新古典主义与美国波普艺术的广博收藏而赞叹。最近展出的系列包括多产的欧洲艺术家，如抽象表现主义的Mark Rothko和概念艺术家Daniel Buren，后者的作品已经吸引了成群的艺术爱好者。为进一步巩固城市的艺术根基，K20 Grabbeplatz 的姐妹画廊K21 Ständehaus于2002年开门迎客，用以展示北莱茵 - 威斯特法伦州惊人的现代艺术收藏。该建筑由德国建筑事务所Kiessler&Partner设计，四翼之间以气势磅礴的拱廊相连，是对于古代公民广场的当代诠释。这座有着璀璨玻璃拱顶的建筑，不仅是该地区一目了然的当代艺术中心，其顶层设有一座可以俯瞰莱茵河谷美丽全景的，大型雕塑花园。北莱茵- 威斯特法伦州画廊中最年轻的是 F 3 Schmela Haus，建筑位于城中老城区的心脏地带。它是 20世纪60年代欧洲立体派与野兽派建筑的完美典范，并完美地平衡了该地区的传统气息。F3 Schmela Haus 专注于陈列年轻与新晋艺术家的装置艺术，艺术实验与表演艺术作品。在这里展出过的艺术家包括Jordan Wolfson，其多媒体作品涵盖电影和摄影，还有波兰双生子Janusz Bąkowski与Piotr Bosacki，他们以音频、视频、动画和雕塑等形式，表达各种文学与音乐的主题。杜塞尔多夫对于新晋艺术家的关注并不让人意外，城中艺术学府Kunstakademie Düsseldorf 在过去几十年中，培养了不少世界级的艺术家，包括 Joseph Beuys, Gerhard Richter与Thomas Demand。他们在学院学习，在城中发展自己的事业，并从杜塞尔多夫官方对于艺术与新晋艺术家的支持中获益匪浅。Kunstraum是参观这些新晋艺术人才作品的绝佳所在，这座开幕于1995年的大型公众艺廊，专门展出渴望踏上本土艺坛的年轻艺术家作品。凭借悠久的画廊发展史，世界级的艺术学院，国际知名校友和杰出的国有收藏，杜塞尔多夫无愧为欧洲艺术文化的心脏，是每一个艺术爱好者不容错过的目的地。 kunstsammlung.de, kunstraum-duesseldorf.de globalblue.com

50: Going For Gold 勇攀高峰德国时装品牌label Gerry Weber成为业内领导者已有数十载。Sally McIlhone带您一探品牌未来的发展计划在过去四十年里，Gerry Weber已经推出了五个女装品牌，并开设了850余家门店；在如此成功的运作下，品牌已经遍布全世界60多个国家。但那仅仅是这家德国公司的时尚分支。Gerry Weber作为触及全方位生活方式的企业，还拥有并运营着一座拥有13,000个座位的体育场，一座高尔夫球场，甚至还有一家会议中心；公司还在杜塞尔多夫建有专为精英顾客服务的Sportpark酒店。这座影响深远的21世纪零售帝国，与Gerry Weber 创业时女裤制造商的谦卑地位，已然相去甚远。但是Ger r y Weber从未固步自封，在2014年春/ 夏发布会上，品牌有望更上一层楼— —品牌如此惊人的发展轨迹，使其成为最引人关注的德国品牌。Ralph Weber创始人的后代，现今零售部门的总经理Ger r y Weber在百忙之中抽出时间与我们探讨品牌成功的秘诀。由U d o H a r d i e c k 以及与品牌同名的G e r h a r d Weber在1973年创立，品牌从创立初始就试图将时尚与生活方式融合。过去40年中，Gerry Weber始终专攻中档价位女装市场，提供相较设计师品牌更实惠的价格，相较高街品牌更上乘的品质。 “所有Gerry Weber旗下的品牌，都定位于高端人群，为其带来高质量标准与完美剪裁。但是家族中的每个品牌又有各自清晰的目标群体， ”Ralph Weber表示。正是这种因人而异的手法使品牌成功建立了五个成功的子品牌，吸引了一大批来自不同阶层的当代女性消费者——包括Gerry Weber 主线, 休闲装品牌Gerry Weber Edition, 为丰满女性准备的Samoon by Gerry Weber, 还有专为更年轻、更具时尚敏锐度的群体准备的GW与Taifun系列。不同于多数具有国际影响力的德国品牌，G er r y Weber没有将总部设在炫目大都会柏林，而是选址离开杜塞尔多夫与科隆两小时路程的哈勒（北威州）。为提高创意效率，所有品牌的关键部门都集中在同一中心位置。 “销售、零售、印花、设计与生产部门都在同一屋檐下， ”Ralph Weber解释道。 “我们为员工们打造的现代化综合设施，创造出开放与充满启发性的环境，来帮助他们增进合作与激发创意火花。涵盖Gerry Weber 体育场，Sportpark酒店与一座 27洞高尔夫球场的Gerry Weber World，同样也位于哈勒（北威州）。据公司所称，这些都是“围绕时尚品牌打造的世界”。此外，自1993年以来Gerry Weber还每年举办Gerry Weber网球公开赛，该赛事完全是由品牌主创并运营的。 “这是德国唯一的ATP草地网球赛，汇集了体育与娱乐明星。媒体曝光率覆盖120个国家， ”Ralph表示。“这项赛事不仅提升了GerryWeber集团

的知名度，还为旗下品牌树立起世界性的形象。 ” 另一项帮助Gerry Weber建立全球声誉的措施，就是位于杜塞尔多夫外围的Halle 29与Halle 30展厅的开幕。这两座巨大空间在每个季度都会吸引国际买家，前往参观Gerry Weber的全线系列。 “通过投资建立这两座展厅，我们将杜塞尔多夫贴上时尚中心的标记。每年都有越来越多的海外客户参加展会，并向我们订货。我们有来自俄罗斯、中东、远东、加拿大与欧洲的顾客。” 肩负将品牌全球化职责的Ralph Weber，通过创新理念帮助Gerry Weber充实壮大，在全球开拓出诸多新疆域。 “在成功将品牌门店数量翻了一翻后，特别是在德国与奥地利，我们现在专注于在其他欧洲国家扩张零售规模， ”他解释。这一扩张将会包括捷克、斯洛伐克、波兰与瑞典；品牌将会在布拉格与斯德哥尔摩等地设立门店。 “我们日益将自己视为放眼全球、将在世界舞台上更为活跃的国际性企业， ”他总结道。从多伦多到塔林，Gerry Weber的时尚愿景，就是让全世界都了解自己。 gerryweber.com
