DARK ARTS When Marc Jacobs presented his fnal collection for Louis Vuitton after 16 years with the fashion house, he brought together all of his most spectacular past set pieces, reimagined in lacquered black, to create a giant interactive catwalk. Despite the darkness, the mood was ferce rather than funereal. Model of the moment Edie Campbell opened the show, decked out in sequins, her body painted with Jacob’s iconic Louis Vuitton Paris print. The collection mixed gothic opulence with punk attitude. Elegant jet-black pieces with glittering and feathered embellishments were mixed with stonewashed denim and peek-a-boo chifon. Models strutted across the foor, which was covered in luxuriant navy lambskin, like macabre Vegas showgirls with fantastical feather headdresses and angular black eyebrows. If nothing else, the show proves that Jacobs, like the colour black, will never go out of style. ib Louis Vuitton, Goethestrasse 13, 60313 Frankfurt, +49 (0)69 280010, louisvuitton.com * for map go to page 79

ARRIVE IN

STYLE In recent years, technology has made it possible to work anywhere in the world, from a Tokyo bar to a Rio beach. This, coupled with the rise of the global business brand, has made the art of stylish travel a key skill. International fashion houses are catering for the business leaders who start the day in Seoul and end it in Mumbai – and want to make the journey in style, with pieces that work for them, not against them. With this in mind, British sartorial stalwart Burberry recently launched its frst Travel Tailoring collection, with a strong focus on efortless, gentlemanly style. The collection consists of the signature Burberry slim-ft suit, constructed from the brand’s ground-breaking new lightweight fabrics. The collection allows increased movement and comfort, a boon for those travelling long haul, while losing nothing of the structure and silhouette you would expect from a well-tailored suit. The key features of the new collection are found in the details of the suits’ construction – the chest canvas and shoulders contain no wadding and fewer layers than usual, while

all fabrics are naturally fexible, using a mix of fne merino wools which helps to reduce creasing and wrinkling. Production methods also help to create added stretch and fexibility; yarns are woven in a spring-like structure on an extra-large loom, ensuring the cloth doesn’t slacken in areas of stress, such as the elbows and knees. The Travel Tailoring collection’s combination of fexibility, comfort, structure and style means Burberry has created an essential for the modern traveller. While suiting may be the frst thing many consider when packing for business, it’s often

For over a century, French fashion house Louis Vuitton has been creating luxury travel trunks and cases for those who truly understand the meaning of luxury travel. More recently the brand has expanded its range to include business travel bags that are not only stylish, but also functional. Made in Vuitton’s signature monogrammed leather and damier canvas, the label’s collection of business bags ranges from smaller document bags to protective laptop cases and traditional, trunk-like suitcases. Made with the classic French craftsmanship and attention to detail Vuitton is famous for, the collection combines versatility, functionality and elegance, elevating the business bag to an essential and stylish travel companion.

wardrobe. A classic watch has traditionally been the signature of a well-heeled entrepreneur and today, modern technology and advances in horology are meeting the needs of those who traverse multiple time zones in a day. The Rolex GMT Master II was developed in collaboration with Pan American World Airways and has been pilots’ watch of choice since it was released in the 1950s. Also a favourite of NASA astronauts, it is ideal wristwear for intrepid travellers. In addition to conventional hour, minute and second hands, the GMT Master II features an arrow-tipped hand which circles the dial once every 24 hours, as well as a bi-directional, rotatable 24-hour graduated bezel. Wearers can keep track of the time in their home country while adapting to a new time zone. The watch’s ground-breaking functionality has gained it fans across the globe, as has

Personal luxuries are also part of international businessman style, with luxury fountain pens seeing a revival on businessminded men’s lists of most-wanted items.

NEW Retail in Frankfurt is being revitalised by a variety of witty, ingenious concept stores. Sally McIlhone reveals some of the best

CONCEPTS The rise and rise of online shopping has made global brands and independent boutiques alike recognise the need to provide clients with a richer experience to entice them into brick-and-mortar stores. Frankfurt retailers are rising to the challenge and are setting out not just to draw visitors into their shops, but also to encourage customers to spend time and connect with the products within, by ofering everything from talks to theatre in inventive spaces dedicated to championing new design. There’s even a shop laid out like an impeccably furnished apartment. For visitors seeking some of the most exciting concept stores in Germany, Frankfurt is sure to surprise. Colekt on Brückenstrasse is one such distinctive concept store. Founded by architect Petra Wagner and graphic designer Stephanie Keidel, who are united by their love of great design, the store ofers a unique selection of furniture and products from around the world.

‘We both missed a cool shop in Frankfurt where you can fnd special things, meet nice people, come around for a cup of cofee, get inspired. It was a dream to open up this kind of shop,’ Wagner and Keidel explain. Colekt hosts regular events, from workshops to concerts, and even has its own kitchen, which serves vegetarian meals every Thursday. Wagner and Keidel believe these experiences add value to their customers’ shopping experiences. ‘The stories behind the things we sell, their designers and how and where they are produced, are very important to us. Having a cup of cofee or a special event, a tasting or a lecture, we can tell these stories much more easily. This is what’s so diferent from online shopping. You can feel, smell, taste, talk to real people!’ Susanne Stahl from the Designe, Kleine! concept store on Wallstrasse also believes in ofering visitors and local product designers something a little diferent. In her store, Lef: Colekt boutique

Product mix, atmosphere and entertainment make concept stores distinctive and appealing

Another concept store with specialised beauty knowledge is Lieblings on Stephanstrasse. The boutique stocks a diverse selection of products, from menswear and womenswear to fowers and chocolates, alongside an elite range of cosmetics. ‘One of the founders has worked as a make-up artist for companies like Calvin Klein and Lagerfeld, so he has built a network of creative people who help him to discover new things

creatives can rent out space to promote their handmade items. ‘It was originally designed as an experiment but it developed into a real company,’ Stahl explains. ‘Since 2006, diferent people have rented one of the 50 display boxes at Designe, Kleine! to showcase their wares for a monthly fee. The product line shows handmade giftware, jewellery, accessories and Frankfurt souvenirs.’ The store doesn’t even need to be open for a handmade souvenir to be purchased. A vending machine in front of the shop dispenses ‘surprise boxes’ for €3, 24 hours a day. From the quirky to the polished, Frankfurt also ofers concept stores for the beauty fanatic. One of Germany’s best-loved beauty brands, Être Belle, recently opened a concept store in the city’s new Skyline Plaza shopping centre. Christian Unger, Être Belle’s managing director, explains the rationale behind the store: ‘The objective was to create a platform for beauty lovers to play and experience new and exciting products and services. The concept combines on-site testing and beauty consulting, luxurious facial and body treatments, as well as an extensive product ofering.’

besides the mainstream,’ explains Lars-Oliver Hergeth, managing director of the store, who attributes Lieblings’ success to its product mix and relaxing atmosphere. Hergeth believes that Lieblings and other concept stores around the world must ofer something distinctive to diferentiate themselves from online stores; brick-and-mortar stores have to ofer entertainment, he says, or they are ‘lost’. ‘This is the only way to compete with fast-growing internet retailers.’

Visitors seeking some of the most exciting concept stores in Germany will find them in Frankfurt

One of Frankfurt’s most ingenious concept stores is 2nd Home on Vogelsbergstrasse, owned by Susanne Theissen. The store is designed to look like an upmarket apartment, but everything is for sale, from the furniture to the paintings on display. ‘The idea came because me and my ex-partner moved four times in one year and every time we renovated the apartments. They looked very shabby at the beginning and at the end there were some highlights.’ After some friends noted Theissen’s eye for interior design and asked her to help them rejuvenate their homes, the idea for her own store began to germinate. ‘The concept was made,’ she recalls. ‘An apartment where you can buy everything.’ Why did she choose Frankfurt rather than, perhaps, the creative hub of Berlin? ‘I love the area where I live. It is better to create something nice than to complain about what does not exist where you live.’ We wholeheartedly agree colekt.me, designe-kleine.de, etre-belle.de, lieblings.de, 2nd-home.net Above (from top): 2nd Home boutique; Lieblings boutique

PERFECT PIECES

Internationally renowned German porcelain brand Meissen is turning its attention to the catwalk. Isabella Redmond Styles investigates

The link between porcelain and beautifully made clothing might not seem obvious but, for Meissen, there’s a clear connection. Established in 1710 as Europe’s frst porcelain manufactory, the German company has a 300-year reputation for its commitment to superb quality, painstaking workmanship and timeless style, all traits that one would also fnd in the most prestigious Parisian couture houses. Meissen’s new bespoke clothing line, which launches this season, thus seems like a perfectly natural progression for one of Germany’s top luxury houses which already produces collections of porcelain art, fne jewellery and homeware. The new line draws heavily on the brand’s illustrious history. Founded at the request of Augustus the Strong, Elector Prince of Saxony and King of Poland, Meissen began as a porcelain factory in the German town of the same name at the imposing Albrechtsburg castle. Since its inception Meissen has been known for producing only the fnest quality products from the best raw materials and the Meissen factory even has its own inhouse pit where kaolin (china clay), used for making porcelain, can be excavated. Meissen’s manufacturing approach is dedicated and diligent, the refnement process required for the materials takes several months and every stage of the production process is carefully supervised. What’s more, Meissen’s painters and modellers undergo a minimum of three years training (and many train for a lot longer

than that) in order to reach the standard that Meissen’s delicate handmade pieces require. It’s little wonder, then, that the brand has such a longstanding association with quality, style and lasting value. Throughout its three centuries, the company has continued to expand its reach, launching several diverse but equally successful lines. Continuing its tradition of historic porcelain, the company produces an exclusive Fine Art collection of limited-edition fgurative porcelain pieces, as well as the ArtCampus range, which includes one-of pieces made in collaboration with contemporary artists. Also inspired by the company’s rich history is the Meissen Joaillerie line, a much coveted jewellery and watch range, as are the Meissen Home and Meissen Home Deco selections of furniture, homeware, tableware and decorative objects. The brand also continues to cater for royalty and notable individuals with the Meissen Individuell custom and bespoke service. Meissen’s royal clients will no doubt also be delighted by the debut fashion collection, which was presented at Milan’s September 2013 Fashion Week in the elegant surroundings of the courtyard of Villa Meissen in Milan. Meissen CEO Christian Kurtzke and Franca Sozzani, the editorin-chief of Vogue Italia, welcomed a host of guests that included journalists, buyers and Previous page: Cecilia dress, Meissen Couture spring/summer 2014

VIPs to the presentation. Drawing on the company’s history, Meissen’s chief designer Frida Weyer created 17 looks inspired by drawings and fgurines from the Meissen archives. Each piece was original yet classic, demonstrating the house’s talent for exquisite detailing and refecting Meissen’s long history of craftsmanship. The collection is made up of evening, bridal and cocktail dresses, described by Weyer as ‘timelessly elegant,

The modern romance and intricate craftsmanship of Meissen’s bespoke collection are certain to attract buyers across the world feminine, graceful and with a touch of romantic luxuriance.’ Any piece from the new collection certainly wouldn’t look out of place at a state banquet or society wedding. Working with silk organza and shimmering silks, Weyer created dramatic silhouettes which, when juxtaposed with modern foral embroidery and intricate lacework, provided a fresh appeal. Details like the three-dimensional foral embroidery which appears on several pieces in the collection might seem like an entirely modern touch but are actually rooted in Meissen’s 18th-century chinoiserie and snowball-blossom appliqués, as well as the company’s foral designs from the 19th and 20th centuries. Flourishes of pearls and crystal demonstrate the level of artistry that would be expected from Meissen and the attention to detail rivals that of many established couture houses. Highlights include the vibrant silk organza Cecilia and Sissi gowns, likely to soon to be seen on a frst lady or two.

CEO Christian Kurtzke explains that Meissen is looking forward to the future. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Now the goal is to further intensify our numerous international contacts to the top buyers of the important luxury department stores and develop the distribution of our new brand world.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Fortunately for this ambition, the modern romance of the Chloe and Rosy dresses are certain to attract buyers worldwide, while the intricate craftsmanship demonstrated on the Grace and Olivia dresses, which feature hundreds of hand-embroidered 3D laser-cut blossoms and leaves, show that Meissen means business when it comes to its fashion foray.

Стильное путешествие

PHOTO: DANMEDHURST.COM

Рабочее место современного амбициозного бизнесмена – весь мир. Руарид Притчард предлагает путешествующим по миру руководителям задуматься об удобных дорожных аксессуарах

Благодаря новейшим технологиям, работать теперь можно из любой точки планеты, будь то бар в Токио или пляж в Рио. Учитывая подъем бизнеса мирового масштаба, искусство со вкусом перемещаться между городами становится все более востребованным. Бизнес-лидеры, начинающие день в Сеуле, а заканчивающие в Мумбаи, хотят поддерживать стиль в деловых поездках и окружить себя вещами, которые помогают им в этом. И модные дома оперативно реагируют на этот запрос. Эта идея легла в основу новой коллекции Travel Tailoring британского модного гиганта Burberry. Главным ее акцентом стала минимизация усилий на поддержание светского стиля. Специально для этой серии была разработана инновационная легкая ткань. Созданные из нее узнаваемые узкие костюмы Burberry удобны, позволяют легко двигаться и не теряют при этом ни globalblue.com

в структуре, ни в силуэте. Это не только признак безупречного костюма, но и серьезное преимущество в глазах тех, кто преодолевает большие расстояния. Нюансы этой коллекции обнаруживаются в отдельных элементах костюма. В нагрудной части и плечах нет подкладки и меньше слоев ткани. Сам материал эластичен за счет использования качественной мериносовой шерсти: она меньше мнется и не образует складок. Упругость ткани закладывается еще на этапе производства: пряжа, напоминающая по структуре пружину, вырабатывается на станке очень большого размера. Таким образом, одежда не вытягивается на локтях и коленях. Эластичность, удобство, функциональность и стиль – все это залог того, что вещи из коллекции Travel Tailoring станут обязательными в арсенале современного путешественника. Разумеется, костюм – это самое главное для большинства собирающихся в командировку людей. Однако зачастую удобство в нюансах делает путешествие стильным и удобным. Уже более ста лет французский модный дом Louis Vuitton создает чемоданы и дорожные сумки для тех, кто по-настоящему ценит роскошные путешествия. Совсем недавно в бренд включил в свое предложение деловые сумки – не только красивые, но и функциональные. В эту коллекцию вошли и небольшие папки для документов, и кейсы для ноутбуков, и традиционные чемоданы-кофры. Все они сделаны из кожи с узнаваемой монограммой и ткани в клетку. Vuitton вложил в них все свое классическое мастерство и внимание к деталям: так функциональная и элегантная, деловая сумка Vuitton становится надежным и стильным дорожным компаньоном. Еще один важнейший аксессуар стильного дорожного набора – хронометр. Обеспеченные предприниматели традиционно предпочитают классические часы, а современные достижения отрасли

полностью отвечают потребностям тех, кто пересекает множество часовых поясов за один день. Часы Rolex GMT Master II были разработаны совместно с авиакомпанией Pan American World Airways, чтобы стать идеальным компаньоном отважного путешественника. С момента выпуска в 1950-е они полюбились пилотам и даже астронавтам НАСА. На циферблате GMT Master II есть дополнительная стрелка, которая проходит полный круг за сутки. Модель оснащена вращающимся безелем с 24-часовой шкалой. Благодаря этому, владелец может отслеживать время в своей родной стране, находясь одновременно в другом часовом поясе. Поклонников этих часов по всему миру привлекает функциональность и лаконичный дизайн, тем более что цвет безеля и металлическая отделка вариативны. GMT Master II – это не просто великолепные драгоценные часы, но и свидетельство хорошего вкуса. Персональные предметы роскоши органично дополняют деловой стиль. В частности, перьевые ручки остаются самыми востребованными аксессуарами в деловом сообществе. Винтажные модели обретают вторую жизнь на аукционах, но и новинки не остаются без внимания. Мировые бренды, включая Dunhill, Montegrappa и ST Dupont, относятся к разработке ручек с такой же тщательностью, с какой они создают ювелирные украшения. Коллекция Ermenegildo Zegna 1910 Certifed Collection – одна из самых роскошных серий инструментов для письма. Для корпуса перьевой ручки этой марки используется розовое дерево, на колпачке изящно выгравирован узнаваемый герб, а пять звезд отсылают к маркировке лучших тканей Zegna и гарантируют качество. Металлические части этой модели отделаны платиной, а острие пера выточено из 18-каратного золота, также украшенного платиновым покрытием – идеально для подписи самых важных документов. В современном мире международный бизнес – это ключ к успеху. Еще никогда прежде одежда и аксессуары для

Стремительное развитие онлайнторговли вынуждает и мировые бренды, и независимые марки превращать процесс шоппинга в интересное приключение. Так они рассчитывают вернуть покупателей в оффлайновые бутики. Франкфуртские магазины приняли этот вызов с честью и не просто привлекают своих клиентов, но и вдохновляют их проводить там свой досуг, знакомясь с ассортиментом. В ход идет все – от лекций до театральных постановок в необычных пространствах, посвященных созданию одежды. Нашлось место даже магазину, оформленному как квартира с безупречным интерьером. Словом, если вам нравятся необычные концепт-сторы, во Франфурте вам точно будет куда пойти.

Colekt на улице Brückenstrasse – один из таких. Его основатели, архитектор Петра Вагнер и графический дизайнер Стефани Кайдель, ценят безупречный дизайн, именно поэтому в своем магазине они предлагают необычную мебель и предметы интерьера со всего мира. «Нам обеим не хватало во Франкфурте стильного магазина, где мы могли бы покупать особенные вещи, встречаться с интересными людьми, да и просто забежать на чашку кофе или за вдохновением. Открыть такой магазин было просто мечтой», - объясняют Вагнер и Кайдель. В Colekt регулярно проходят самые разные мероприятия, от мастерклассов до концертов. Здесь есть даже собственная кухня, поэтому по четвергам сервируют вегетарианскую еду. Владелицы надеются, что все это делает более ценным для покупателей сам опыт шоппинга: «Для нас имеет большое значение история каждой вещи и ее дизайнера, как и где предмет была произведен. А через разговор за чашкой кофе или во время мероприятия, на дегустации или лекции мы можем рассказывать эти истории гораздо более убедительно. Этого ощущения никогда не даст Интернет. У нас покупатели могут прочувствовать процесс шоппинга вживую, поговорить с реальными людьми!» Сюзанна Шталь, владелица концепт-стора Designe, Kleine! на улице Wallstrasse, также стремится создать у себя необычную атмосферу. В ее магазине местные дизайнеры могут арендовать собственное пространство, чтобы продвигать и продавать свои творческие работы: «Сначала я собиралась открыть экспериментальное пространство, но со временем оно превратилось в настоящее предприятие, - делится Шталь. – С 2006 года все желающие могут занять одну из 50 витрин в Designe, Kleine!, где выставить свои товары. Как правило, это предметы ручной работы – подарки, бижутерия, аксессуары и франкфуртские сувениры». Сюда можно приходить даже в нерабочее время: перед бутиком стоит торговый автомат, в котором круглосуточно можно купить «шкатулку с сюрпризом» за 3 евро. globalblue.com

Поклонники красоты также найдут во Франкфурте интересные концепт-сторы. Так, один из самых популярных немецких брендов косметики Être Belle недавно открыл собственный бутик нового типа в торговом центре Skyline Plaza. Кристиан Унгер, его управляющий директор, объясняет причины такого решения: «Мы хотели создать площадку, на которой все заинтересованные могли бы знакомиться с новыми продуктами и услугами. Эта идея объединяет тестирование продукции, косметические процедуры для лица и тела, консультации и возможность приобрести косметику из расширенного товарного ряда». Ассортимент бутика Lieblings, расположившегося на улице Stephanstrasse, поистине разнообразен и выдает особое видение современного стиля. Помимо элитной коллекции косметики, здесь есть мужская и женская одежда, а также цветы и шоколад. «Один из основателей работал визажистом в Calvin Klein и Lagerfeld. И ему удалось собрать вокруг себя творческих людей, которые помогают ему обнаруживать новые и необычные явления за пределами мейнстрима», - объясняет Ларс-Оливье Хергет, управляющий директор магазина. Он считает истинной причиной успеха Lieblings сочетание двух факторов большого ассортимента и расслабляющей атмосферы. По его мнению, Lieblings, как и другие концепт-сторы, просто обязаны предлагать нечто особенное, чтобы выделяться на фоне онлайн-магазинов. Если бутики перестанут развлекать своих покупателей, они просто исчезнут: «Это единственный путь устоять в конкуренции со стремительно развивающейся Интернетторговлей». 2ndHome на улице Vogelsbergstrasse, пожалуй, один из самых необычных во Франкфурте. Сюзанна Тайссен оформила его по образу и подобию дорогой квартиры, в которой продается любой элемент интерьера – от мебели до картин. «Мой бывший партнер переезжал четыре раза за год, и каждый раз мы делали ремонт. Как бы потрепанно ни выглядела квартира

в самом начале, к концу она неизменно превращалась в красивые апартаменты», - вспоминает Тайссен. Друзья заметили ее вкус к дизайну интерьера и стали просить помочь с оформлением их домов. Так начала прорастать идея будущего магазина: «Концепция была уже готова, - вспоминает она. – Квартира, в которой все продается». Почему она выбрала Франкфурт, а, например, не креативный центр страны Берлин? Ответ прост: «Мне нравится город, в котором я живу. Лучше создавать самому нечто красивое, чем жаловаться, что этого для вас не сделал кто-нибудь другой». И мы полностью с этим согласны. colekt.me, designe-kleine.de, etre-belle.de, lieblings.de, 2nd-home.net 56: Perfect Pieces

Модный синтез

Всемирно известный немецкий производитель фарфора Meissen решил попробовать свои силы на модном подиуме, – выяснила Изабелла Редмонд Стайлз Что общего между модой и фарфором? Этот вопрос мог бы озадачить кого угодно, но только не компанию Meissen. Основанная в 1710 году немецкая фабрика была первым производителем фарфора в Европе. Вот уже 300 лет подряд здесь создаются изделия, имеющие немало схожих черт с коллекциями знаменитых парижских кутюрье – такой же высокий уровень качества, эстетики и кропотливой ручной работы. Вполне ожидаемым шагом для Meissen стал запуск в этом сезоне новой линии одежды от кутюр, которая гармонично дополнила уже имеющиеся коллекции фарфора, ювелирных изделий и декоративной посуды. На ее создание большое влияние оказала история самого бренда. Фабрика была основана по приказу Августа Сильного, курфюрста Саксонии и короля Польши в немецком городке Мейсен, неподалеку от крепости Альбрехтсбург. С самых первых дней здесь было открыто производство высококачественного фарфора из лучшего

глиняного сырья – каолина или белой глины, месторождение которой находилось прямо на территории фабрики Meissen. Фирменный подход к производству товаров отличается кропотливостью и большой преданностью делу: процесс обработки сырья может занимать несколько месяцев, и каждый этап производства находится под непрестанным контролем. Более того, все художники и дизайнеры Meissen проходят обязательный трехгодичный тренинг, чтобы соответствовать высоким стандартам компании. Неудивительно, что бренд уже давно стал гарантом качества, стиля и вечных ценностей. На протяжении своей многовековой истории компания не переставала развиваться, запуская новые разноплановые коллекции. Продолжая следовать своим устоявшимся традициям производства фарфора, бренд выпустил эксклюзивные коллекции керамических статуэток «Fine Art» и «ArtCampus», в число которых вошли единичные экземпляры, созданные в сотрудничестве с рядом современных художников. Богатое прошлое бренда вдохновило дизайнеров на создание целой серии изделий, включая Meissen Joaillerie, – линию элегантных часов и ювелирных украшений, Meissen Home и Meissen Home Deco, – коллекции мебели, посуды и предметов интерьера. Также фабрика продолжает предоставлять эксклюзивную услугу Meissen Individuell, подразумевающую производство изделий по индивидуальным заказам. Среди основных клиентов – члены королевских семей и многие знаменитости. Последние, несомненно, будут в восторге от новой коллекции одежды от кутюр, которая была впервые представлена в сентябре 2013 года во время Миланской Недели моды. Генеральный директор Meissen Кристиан Курцке и Франка Соццани, главный редактор журнала Vogue Italia, пригласили на показ множество гостей, включая журналистов, байеров и VIP-персон. В коллекцию, созданную под руководством креативного директора Meissen Фриды Веер, вошли 17 образов.

Основными мотивами для их создания послужили чертежи и наброски, взятые из архивов бренда. Оригинальные и, в то же время, классические наряды, рожденные талантом дизайнеров Meissen, покоряют своими деталями и отражают философию компании. В коллекцию вошли вечерние, свадебные и коктейльные платья, которые Веер описала как «классически элегантные, женственные, романтические и роскошные». Любой наряд из дебютной коллекции будет идеально смотреться как на официальном торжестве, так и на свадебной вечеринке. При помощи органзы и сверкающего шелка Веер создала драматические силуэты, дополнив их современными цветочными узорами и замысловатым кружевом. Трехмерные цветочные узоры, появившиеся на нескольких нарядах коллекции, могут показаться данью современности, однако, на самом деле, свое начало они берут из шинуазри и цветочных аппликаций, созданных брендом в период с 18 по 20 век. Декоративные узоры из жемчуга и кристаллов демонстрируют высокий уровень мастерства и внимания к деталям, свойственный многим знаменитым домам моды. Изюминками коллекции можно назвать яркие платья Cecilia и Sissi из шелковой органзы, которые мы скоро, возможно, увидим на одной из первых леди. Генеральный директор Meissen Кристиан Курцке позитивно смотрит на будущее бренда. «Наша главная цель сейчас – наладить хорошие связи с главными закупщиками самых роскошных универмагов мира, чтобы наши поклонники как можно скорее смогли получить доступ к новой линии одежды». К счастью, для Meissen это не будет сложной задачей, учитывая успех платьев Chloe и Rosy. В то же время дизайн платьев Grace и Olivia, украшенных мириадами вышитых вручную цветов, указывает на то, что Meissen настроен довольно решительно и дебютировавшая коллекция от кутюр будет далеко не последняя, и, следовательно, парижским модельерам есть о чем беспокоиться. meissen.com globalblue.com

42: Arrive In Style 奢华行囊如今商务人士飞行于世界各大都市之间，Ruairidh Pritchard为移动办公的总裁们推荐一些旅途必备无论是在东京的酒吧还是里约热内卢的沙滩，近几年来科技的发达使人们可以在全世界的各个角落移动办公。随着国际大型企业的兴起，商旅时尚也成了

一门艺术。国际时尚设计公司正忙着为那些晨起首尔，夜归孟买的老总们设计商旅行装，并且这些行装必须都合他们的心意，而不是制造麻烦。本着这样的原则，英国老牌服装 Burberry 最近发布了它的旅行剪裁系列，重在表现不拘一格的绅士风度。这个系列包含了Burberry的经典修身西装，使用品牌经典的轻质面料，让穿着活动更加自如舒适，缓解长途旅行疲惫的同时，并在设计和剪裁上与高级定制西装无异。这个新系列的主要特点是西装的构造——前襟和剪头并没有任何加厚或变薄，而所有的面料都自然有弹性，美利奴羊毛质地有效地预防了褶皱和纹路。制作工艺中还增加了韧性和弹力；丝线编织成弹簧状避免肘部和膝盖处面料在紧绷下不会松弛。Burberry旅行剪裁系列结合弹性、舒适、设计和风尚于一身，是现代商务人士的出行必须。虽说西装是商旅行装的必须，但往往是细节会决定了一个国际商旅人士的着装成败。近一个世纪以来，法国时装屋路易威登一直在为懂得奢华旅行的人士打造奢华旅行箱。最近品牌将它的商务旅行包做得不仅美观，更扩展到实用。品牌使用经典的字母印花皮和Damier方格布制造出小到文件夹、手提电脑包，大至古董行李箱的旅行系列。运用传统法国手工艺和路易威登擅长的细节，这个系列结合了多样性、功能性和典雅的风格，将普通的商旅包升级为一个路途中的不可缺少的时髦伴侣。腕表也是绅士们行囊中不可缺少的时尚大件。一款经典的腕表一直被人们视为一个成功企业家的标志，今天，现代科技和发达的钟表学完美结合，完成同一天跨越多市区走时的使命。劳力士 GMT 大师 II与泛美航空合作，从1950 年代发布以来一直是飞行员的首选腕表，同时也是美国航空航天总局宇航员的挚爱，它是探险家们的理想腕表。除了传统的时针、分针和秒针，GMT大师 II 还特别增加了一根形如弓箭的指针，它每24 小时走满一圈，配有可双向旋转的24 小时刻度表圈，这样佩带者便能在记录出发国时间的同时把握新时区的时间。这只表的革新功能赢来了全世界各地的追随者，同时它的绚丽表圈和金属光泽给整体设计添加了时尚感。GMT 大师 II 不仅仅是一只出色精准的计时器，更是时尚的典范。个性奢华也是国际商务人士风格的一部分，一支奢华的钢笔是每个商务男士的必需品。当古董钢笔还在拍卖行等待重见天日之时，现代钢笔却风华正茂。和对待高级珠宝一样，如登喜路、万特佳、都彭等顶级国际品牌正在以细节取胜制造钢笔。现代奢华书写工具的高级典范之一便是 Ermenegildo Zegna的1910 Certifed系列。此系列的钢笔笔杆采用花梨木制作，笔头显眼处刻有品牌标志，笔盖

上设计有五颗星，代表Zegna印章的品质保证。这只镀铂钢笔光华照人，18克拉纯金笔尖适合签署最重要的文件。当今社会，国际商务是企业成功的关键。商务人士的时装与配饰的大潮正势不可挡，与此同时，万变的潮流当中的他们对于定制奢华的追求却永恒不变。 burberry.com, louisvuitton.com, rolex.com, zegna.com

50: New Concepts 新概念一批聪慧、敏锐的概念店正在重塑法兰克福的零售业，Sally McIlhone向您推荐其中翘楚互联网购物使得国际品牌和独立店们越来清楚地意识到，想要吸引顾客来实体店必需先增强店内的感官体验。法兰克福零售商正在迎接挑战，他们在极力吸引顾客的同时，还通过创意论坛、公映影片等方式鼓励顾客在店里停留了解产品，有些店甚至被精装成公寓的样子。对那些喜欢逛概念店的游客来说，德国法兰克福绝对是一个惊喜。Brückenstrasse街上的 Colekt 就是这样的一个特别概念店，由建筑师 P e t r a Wagner和插画设计师Stephanie Keidel组建。对于设计的爱好将他们聚集在一起，经营这家出售来自世界各地的个性家具和单品的店。 “我们都想念法兰克福的这样一家店，在店里淘特别的东西、见到有趣的人，喝一杯咖啡，启发灵感。开这样一家店是我们的梦想， ”Wagner 和 Keidel解释道。Colekt 经常举办活动，从手工制作到音乐会，它还有独立厨房，每周四供应素食菜单。Wagner和Keidel坚信这些给顾客充实了购物体验。 “我们出售的每一件商品都有一个故事，他们的设计师、制作工艺和产地对我们来说都很重要。小酌一杯咖啡或一次特别的活动、一场品酒会或小型演讲，这些都是我们讲述商品故事的方式。这就是我们和网络购物的不同。在这里你能感觉、闻香、品尝，和人真实地交流！” 在Wallstrasse经营概念店的Designe, Kleine! 同样想给顾客和当地产品设计师一些不同的东西。在她的店里，艺术家们可以租出一块空间展示自己的手工作品。 “一开始设计这个店纯粹是抱着尝试的心态，但它却壮大成了一家公司， ”Stahl 说。 “ 从 20 06 年开始，不同人的人开始以月为单位租赁 Designe, Kleine!的50个展示空间。出售的商品中有手工小礼物、珠宝、配饰和法兰克福纪念品。 “这个手工纪念品店压根不需要有人照看。店前的24小时自动售货机随机售卖3欧元一只‘惊喜盒子’”。从古怪到精致，法兰克福还有美容主题概念店。

德国最受欢迎的美容品牌Être Belle最近在市里的 Skyline Plaza购物中心开了一家概念店。它的经理总监Christian Unger解释其背后的理念： “我们的目的就是为了给喜欢美容的人体验更创新、惊喜的商品和服务。这个概念结合了现场试装和美容咨询、奢华面部美容和身体护理，还有各种护理商品供您选择。” 另一所美容护理专家就要数到Stephanstrasse 街上的 Lieblings了。这家精品店出售从男装、女装到花朵和巧克力等各式商品，以及一些精美的化妆品。 “创始人之一曾作为化妆师效力于Calvin Klein 和Lagerfeld，所以他建立起了一个创意团队为他发掘新产品。”精品店的经理总监Lars Hergeth解释道，他认为Lieblings的成功之道在于其产品的类别和舒适的环境，他坚信 Lieblings 和世界上很多其他产品一样需要标新立异将自己和网络购物区别开来。实体店需要增强娱乐性，他说，否则他们就很容易“迷失”。这是唯一和迅速扩张的英特网零售商竞争的办法。” 法兰克福最灵气的概念店之一应该就是 Vogelsbergst rasse 上的 2ndHome了，店主名为 Susanne Theissen。这家店被设计成了一间奢华的公寓，可是里面陈列的东西，从家具到画作，每一样都能购买。 “我有这个想法是因为我和我的前任曾经每年搬家四次，每次都改装新公寓。一开始那些公寓都很丑陋，但是改装过了以后总有亮点。”一些朋友注意到了Theissen家居设计的天赋，并请她帮忙设计住所，自己开店的想法于是慢慢成形。 “这就是这个概念的来历” ，她回忆道， “一所出售一切物品的公寓。”当问道为什么她选择了法兰克福而不是创意之都柏林的时候，她回答道， “我爱我的家乡。为它创造一些美好总比抱怨数落要好很多。”对此我们点头称赞。 colekt.me, designe-kleine.de, etre-belle.de, lieblings.de, 2nd-home.net

56: Perfect Pieces 绝美瓷章你或许不曾想到德国瓷器品牌Meissen居然将产品延伸到了时装。Isabella Redmond Styles给我们带来了这样大开眼界的调研结果或许你会惊诧于瓷器和女装成衣之间的联系是否会如此明显，但对Meissen而言，两者关联却如此明晰。作为欧洲第一家瓷器生产厂家，成立于1710 年的这家德国公司拥有 300 余年的不朽声誉，以其精湛品质，细致做工和永恒风格称誉于世间。这所有的特质，与巴黎最负盛名的时装品牌亦一脉相承。作为德国顶级奢侈品牌，Meissen在瓷器艺术品，珠宝 globalblue.com

首饰以及家居产品中独占鳌头。本季推出的女装成衣，便是公司继往开来，独步创新的尝试。时装产品线自然倚靠于该品牌的辉煌悠久历史。Meissen的故事遥远而显赫。应奥古斯大帝，选帝侯萨克森和波兰王子之请，Meissen 最初创建于德国雄浑宏大的Albrechtsburg 城堡中。公司自成立以来，一直致力于生产最优质的产品，使用最好的原料。工厂甚至拥有珍贵的高岭土（中国粘土）用以制作精美瓷器。迈森的制造工艺称得上是敬业与勤勉，精细化作业过程往往需要持续几个月的时间，每个流程皆历经严格认证监督管理。更重要的是，Meissen 的画家和制瓷者需要至少经历三年培训（甚至远远长于三年），方能达到Meissen 精致手工制作的标准。难怪该品牌的质量精良、款式优雅、价值这般持久恒长。纵观其三个世纪的发展，该公司一直以来致力于扩大其业务范畴，持续推出不同种类却异常成功的产品线。除却传统瓷器的制作，独特精美的限量版瓷器收藏摆件是 Mesissen 的明星产品。A r t Campus系列是与当代艺术家合作的摆件，满溢着现代风格。Meissen Joaillerie 系列拥有最为丰厚历史沉淀，长期以来给珠宝手表设计以无限闪耀灵感。此外，Meissen Home 和 Meissen Home Deco 系列的家具，家居用品以及装饰摆件皆深得其传承精髓。该品牌还向来为皇室和贵族提供高端定制服务。 M e i s s e n 的皇室贵客们对新推出的成衣品牌也报以厚望。此次时装发布会在米兰 2 013 九月时装周上亮相，秀场布置在优雅秀美的深深庭院内。Meissen CEO Christian Kurtzke 携手 Vogue 意大利主编 Franca Sozzani 共同主持了这次发布会。秀场嘉宾云集，记者、买手与众多贵宾对 Meissen 充满期冀。以公司悠久历史为图

景，Meissen首席服装设计师 Frida Weyer设计了 17件华服，每件皆向Meissen丰厚的历史致意。作品独创而不失经典，拥有精美细节并反映 Meissen 悠久的工艺。此系列涵括晚礼服、婚纱以及鸡尾酒礼服。Weyer 描述他的作品为“永恒的优雅，妩媚，优雅，以及浪漫繁茂的奢华。”任何一件服饰都与优雅宴会与浪漫婚礼相得益彰。Weyer 使用高档丝织品和闪光绸缎，裁出充满戏剧感的剪影。他还采用现代花卉刺绣和精细错综的蕾丝点缀，让华服绚丽夺目推陈出新。细节设计也令人叹为观止，你或许觉得三维立体的花卉刺绣是现代技术的表达，却不晓得这些设计根植于Meissen 18世纪的中国风以及雪花贴花技术中，19 世纪以及 20 世纪的花卉设计也为此提供了灵感来源。珍珠与水晶在设计中的繁盛展示了 Meissen 对于艺术性的追求，不觉让众多老牌时装品牌脊背一凛。Cecilia 和Sissi 丝绸长袍，是此次设计中最为夺目的单品，可预期让某位第一夫人倾倒众生。 CEO Christian Kurtzke 解释道： “我们现在的目标是进一步增强我们品牌与顶级奢侈品百货公司的接触，并且进一步将我们的品牌推向世界。” 他对Meissen的未来充满了期待，幸运之处在于，这种雄心终将得以实现，好比Chloe and Rosy的浪漫时装吸引了全世界买手的注意，Grace and Olivia 时装数以百计的3D蕾丝花与叶彰显了复杂工艺的力量。这些品牌的成功都意味着Meissen将会在时装领域异军突起，巴黎的时装设计师总有一日将不可小觑此品牌。 meissen.com
