GOLDEN DREAMS Sicily has provided rich inspiration for Dolce & Gabbana in the past – not surprising, perhaps, given that Domenico Dolce was born there – and this season the label has looked to the island’s ancient history, in particular its coins. Whether dangling from earrings or splashed across the design duo’s trademark sultry dresses, the gold discs stole the show on the catwalk. Kitsch yet glamorous, the eye-catching collection shows once again that

Inspiration comes from unexpected places. For Fred Prysquel, who founded luxury swimwear brand Vilebrequin in 1971, the ‘eureka’ moment came while he was seated outside a café in sunny Saint-Tropez. Contemplating the colourful scene around him, he began to sketch a pair of swim shorts on his tablecloth, and so the signature Vilebrequin design was born. These shorts were soon a musthave item for every stylish man, and remain a signifer of taste to this day. Visit the Capri boutique to fnd row upon row of these classic, colourful creations. hl Vilebrequin, Via Camerelle 8, 80073 Capri, +39 081 838 9468, vilebrequin.com * for map go to page 49

FOREVER ARMANI From a collection that explores every shade of blue from navy to pastel, what actually caught our eye from Giorgio Armani’s spring/ summer menswear ofering was the small selection of pieces in beautiful pink and peach tones. Chinos and T-shirts in suave chalky shades are paired with lightweight tailored jackets to create a sleek and refreshing alternative to summer suiting. Additional interest is found in the collection’s details – a
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, Corso Italia 102-104, 80067 Sorrento, +39 081 878 2785, maxmara.com * for map go to page 46 globalblue.com

PRETTY CHIC Taking inspiration from fairy tales, ballerinas and botanicals, Red Valentino presents a captivating collection for spring/summer. The Valentino difusion line, created for the ‘romantic eccentric dresser’, has femininity at its heart, as seen in its bows, rufes and layered tutu skirts. The inclusion of some clean tailoring and a demure colour palette contributes an elegant element, with a retro twist in the form of 1950s silhouettes and Peter Pan collars. Imagine attire suitable for a modern-day debutante and you’ll see the allure of this delightful collection. gl Red Valentino, Corso Vittoria Colonna 180, 80077 Ischia, +39 081 991606, redvalentino.com * for map go to page 45 Save up to 15.5% by shopping tax free, see page 52
Montblanc’s limited-edition Great Characters series, a collection of beautifully crafted writing instruments named after iconic fgures of the 20th century, was unveiled in 2009. For its latest addition to the range, however, Montblanc has headed further back in time to pay tribute to one of the most celebrated artistic fgures of the Italian Renaissance. The Great Characters Limited Edition Leonardo fountain pen and rollerball pen draw inspiration from the inventions of Leonardo da Vinci, with several clever references to his pioneering ideas. The handcrafted solid 750 gold and rhodium-plated nib is engraved with a bat’s wing, which inspired da Vinci’s design for a fying machine; the red goldplated gear at the end of the clip evokes the cogwheels that featured so often in the Italian genius’s work; and the Montblanc emblem concealed within the pen’s cap, which is only visible in the mirror inside the cap top, is inspired by da Vinci’s habit of writing his notes backwards. rp Montblanc, Via Gaetano Filangieri 38, 80121 Naples, +39 081 400057, montblanc.com * for map go to page 42

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL

Food and sumptuous womanly fashion are celebrated with equal passion in Italy. Elle Blakeman looks at the connection between the country’s twin loves
‘Everything you see, I owe to spaghetti,’ Sophia Loren – Italy’s unoffcial queen of style – once famously said. It encapsulates perfectly the fact that the Italian spirit has never been one for half measures. This is a country known for its passion – for food, for art, for architecture, for passion itself – and this sense of exuberance afects everything. The unwavering desire to live la dolce vita, or the good life, can be most easily be seen in the Italian approach to food, for Italians will talk about food in a way that other nations reserve for discussing politics or sport: it is respected, dissected and fercely argued over. 54 / 62

Italians are frm believers in the concept that one cannot think well, love well or sleep well if one hasn’t eaten well, which is probably why the ‘Eat’ segment of the recent Julia Roberts flm Eat, Pray, Love was set in Rome and in Naples, a city fercely proud of its reputation for peerless pizzas and other specialities made using the best local ingredients that nature can provide. Respect is something that’s also ofered to the women of Italy, who are also celebrated for their natural appeal. Not for them the hours of honing and starving into a set ideal – as Julia Roberts’ character so wittily demonstrates in Eat, Opposite: Valentino Haute Couture spring/summer 2008

Pray, Love as she happily struggles to ft into her jeans after indulging in Italian delights – unlike many of their counterparts elsewhere in the world; to be adored, an Italian woman need only to worry about her attitude. ‘All women are sensual. We love them all,’ says Stefano Gabbana, one half of Italian label Dolce & Gabbana. ‘It’s about attitude,’ he adds, reminding us that little is less seductive than a woman who refuses to eat, to smile and to enjoy Above: Gucci autumn/winter 2013/14
life. For almost three decades, Gabbana has been celebrating the female form with partner Domenico Dolce, yet both have maintained since the very beginning that nothing is as appealing as a black bra. It’s a theme that can be seen consistently across their collections from 1985 to the spring/summer 2014 show, where the classic bustier and black lace slip aesthetic that has become a signature for the duo makes an appearance. However, woe betide anyone who thinks that it’s all

The ability to admire real women is a feature of many of Italy’s most celebrated designers
about being decorative: one of the great things about Italian fashion is that it dresses women, not girls. The ability to admire and empower real women is a characteristic of many of Italy’s most celebrated designers: the scarlet, foor-length creations by Valentino, the powerful, mess-with-me-atyour-peril power jackets and gowns at Gucci, and the perfectly tailored suits of Armani all share a general approach of ‘less is more’ when it comes to fuss.

Italian fashion, like its beloved cuisine, is characterised by its strength in simplicity; like the pasta dish made all the better for containing just a handful of exquisite fresh ingredients, the Little Black Dress that hugs and pulls in all the right places needs nothing more to complete it. The silhouette is key: ‘The hardest thing in fashion is not to be known for a logo, but to be known for a silhouette,’ agrees Giambattista Valli. Italian designers are lucky enough to be immersed in an artisanal culture of fne craftsmanship, with techniques and skills passed down through the generations. When combined with a national adoration of the female shape, these skills inform their designs from the outset. As Sophia Loren once noted, ‘A woman’s dress should be like a barbed-wire fence: serving its Above: Anita Ekberg in La Dolce Vita, 1960
purpose without obstructing the view’; for Italians, it’s about the woman frst, the dress second. The culture outside of fashion supports this, with the nation’s most iconic flms boasting voluptuous stars who would bring many a man to his knees: think of the glorious Anita Ekberg swimming in the Trevi fountain in La Dolce Vita. And who could forget the feminine fgure of Sophia Loren in El Cid beguiling the unwilling Charlton Heston into doing her bidding. ‘The elegance of Italian simplicity runs through their style in everything they do and every aesthetic they hold dear,’ agrees fashion expert and stylist Sarah Hogan. ‘You cannot beat a beautiful, curvy Italian woman such as Monica Bellucci in a little black Dolce & Gabbana dress – it’s simply the perfect silhouette.’
Superb craftsmanship coupled with impeccable design: no wonder Italy’s fne leather accessories labels are proving such a hit with men around the world, says Ruairidh Pritchard 56 / 63

ALL IN THE DETAIL
The Made in Italy label has been synonymous with exceptional quality for centuries. Those in the know have always valued the traditional skills of the country’s artisans who today, more than ever, are turning their talents to producing the fnest leather accessories
for men. From shoes to hats, bags to belts and wallets to luggage, Italian handcrafted leather goods are reaching new heights of luxury. One of Italy’s success stories is Cellerini. Started by Silvano Cellerini in the early 1950s, the label began with just one sewing

machine and a hide, bought with a small inheritance. A decade later Cellerini and his wife had expanded the business, creating leather handbags and luggage for some of the most afuent Florentine families of the time. Now the label is headed up by the founder’s daughter Alessandra, who is keen to ensure that her parents’ dedication to peerless quality endures. Many of the working practices that went into creating Cellerini’s frst bag are still followed: all leather cutting is done entirely by hand by the label’s ex-
perienced craftspeople. The pieces are then painstakingly trimmed by hand before being sewn together, a process which has been assisted by the advancements in manufacturing technology. Similarly, Cellerini continues to provide the level of personalisation that it ofered more than half a century ago. Thanks to a vast choice of calfskins, linings, threads and hardware, customers can have Cellerini create their very own bespoke Italian leather masterpiece.

fnest’ is Santoni, which has been creating some of the best handmade shoes to come out of Milan since it was set up in 1975 by Andrea Santoni. Over the decades, the label – now helmed by a second generation of Santonis – has expanded to become one of the country’s largest home-grown shoemakers, while keeping its key values of quality, passion for detail and working exclusively by hand intact. The brand’s two key pillars – innovation and tradition – still provide a solid foundation for its work. These days Santoni combines traditional expert hand craftsmanship with pioneering production techniques to ensure that every item of footwear fts as perfectly as possible, whether it’s a brogue or a Chelsea boot.
A great deal of efort goes into sourcing the most sought-after hides and fabrics to ensure that each style is comfortable, practical and durable as well as stylish. Nowhere is this more evident than in the brand’s latest Limited Edition Collection, whose designs and materials are overseen by Andrea Santoni himself. From the frst cut of the carefully selected leather to the fnal fre-branding with the Santoni mark, each step is done by hand, and there is no time limit for the creation of a single pair of shoes. Considering that one leathertinting phase can require over 15 applications of colour, this proves that craftsmanship remains at the forefront of Santoni’s production. However, it isn’t just new Italian products that are fnding favour with well-heeled men; vintage

and restored antique leather goods are becoming more popular among those looking to invest in some beautiful Italian leather. Bernardini in Milan is a treasure trove of lovingly restored and rare antique pieces. The store was founded by Max Bernardini in 1996, who was inspired by his father’s work in importing fne antiques for some of Italy’s wealthiest families. The inviting emporium, which even has its own full-time bartender, is home to an eclectic collection of rare and expertly sourced goods, ranging from vintage travel trunks, suitcases and vanity boxes from the likes of Prada and Gucci, many of them made to order for wealthy European explorers during expeditions to Africa in the early 20th century. The diversity and desirability of the stock is as clear an illustration as any of Italy’s long history of making high-quality leather goods. Above: Santoni crafsmanship

РУССКИЙ ПЕРЕВОД 22: Life Is Beautiful
Жизнь прекрасна Элли Блейкман рассказывает, как связаны две самые большие страсти всех итальянцев – еда и красивая одежда «Всем, что вы видите, я обязана спагетти», сказала однажды королева итальянского стиля Софи Лорен. И это высказывание прекрасно характеризует истинно итальянскую globalblue.com
бескомпромиссность. В Италии царит страсть: еда, искусство, архитектура, даже страсть к самой страсти – и этот взрыв чувств влияет буквально на все. Непреодолимое желание жить в стиле la dolce vita ярче всего проявляется в отношении к еде. Здесь о ней говорят так, как представители других страны могут обсуждать политику или спорт: достойно, детально и, конечно, темпераментно. Итальянцы твердо верят, что невозможно думать, сильно любить или даже крепко спать, не уделив предварительно время трапезе.
55
Возможно, именно поэтому для эпизода, посвященного наслаждению едой, в фильме с Джулией Робертс «Ешь, молись, люби» были выбраны Рим и Неаполь. Бесподобная пицца и другие специалитеты составляют предмет гордости Неаполя, и готовят их из лучших ингредиентов местного происхождения. Не меньшим почтением в Италии пользуется естественная женская красота. В отличие от миллионов женщин по всему миру, итальянки не готовы тратить время на сложный макияж или диеты в погоне за идеалом. Это остроумно обыграно в другом эпизоде «Ешь, молись, люби», когда героиня Робертс пытается влезть в любимые джинсы после сытного итальянского ужина. Осанка и харизма – вот все, что нужно сеньорите, чтобы ей восхищались. «Женщины чувственны от природы. За это мы их и любим, - декларирует Стефано Габбана, со-основатель итальянского модного дома Dolce & Gabbana, – Все дело в харизме». Едва ли в Италии сочтут привлекательной женщину, которая отказывается от еды, не улыбается и не умеет наслаждаться жизнью. Уже почти три десятилетия Габбана и его партнер Доменико Дольче прославляют женственность форм, с первого дня подчеркивая, что ничто так не украшает тело, как черный корсет.
Этот мотив красной нитью проходит сквозь все их коллекции – с 1985 года и до показа сезона весна/лето 2014. Классическое бюстье и черное кружево новой серии напоминают о фирменной эстетике творческого тандема. Однако не стоит думать, что это все делается ради декоративного эффекта. Важно понимать, что итальянская мода творится не для девочек, но для женщин. Творчество самых известных дизайнеров Италии восхищает и вдохновляет настоящих леди: алые платья в пол Valentino, впечатляющие жакеты и платья Gucci, идеально скроенные костюмы Armani – их объединяет подход «меньше значит больше». Ведь сила простоты здесь присуща не только кухне, но и моде. Для идеальной пасты необходимо совсем немного изысканных свежих ингредиентов. Аналогично и маленькое черное платье: подчеркивая все достоинства фигуры, оно не нуждается в дополнениях. Все дело в силуэте: «Прославиться логотипом несложно. Гораздо интереснее создать выдающийся силуэт», - подчеркивает Джамбаттиста Валли. Дизайнерам Италии посчастливилось иметь дело с культурой изящных ремесел, где техники и профессиональные секреты передаются из поколения в поколение. Как и восхищение истинной женственностью,
56
это пронизывает любое их творение. «Женское платье - как забор из колючей проволоки: оно должно служить своим целям, не загораживая вид», афористично заметила Софи Лорен. И это правда: для итальянцев на первом плане женщина, а затем - ее платье. Это закреплено в культурном коде. Например, культовыми фильмы этой страны сделали чувственные актрисы, способные заставить многих мужчин опуститься на колени. Вспомните хотя бы роскошную Аниту Экберг, плавающую в фонтане Треви в фильме «Сладкая жизнь». А разве можно забыть женственность Софи Лорен в ленте «Эль Сид», в которой ее героиня умело повела за собой сурового персонажа Чарлтона Хестона. «Элегантность итальянской простоты лежит в основе их стиля и эстетики, подтверждает модный эксперт и стилист Сара Хоган. – Никто не сможет превзойти красивую, изящную итальянку Монику Белуччи в маленьком черном платье Dolce & Gabbana. Ведь этот силуэт идеален». 28: All In The Detail
Совершенство в деталях Превосходное мастерство в сочетании с безупречным дизайном: не удивительно, что итальянские аксессуары из натуральной кожи так globalblue.com
популярны среди с мужчин по всему миру, говорит Руайрид Притчард Знак «Made in Italy» на протяжении веков считался синонимом исключительного качества и непревзойденного мастерства. Знающие люди всегда ценили аксессуары, изготовленные руками итальянских ремесленников, и сегодня их талант востребован как никогда раньше. Начиная от обуви, шляп и ремней и заканчивая бумажниками и сумками – итальянские изделия из кожи сегодня достигли новых стандартов роскоши. Cellerini – один из успешных итальянских проектов, задуманный Сильвано Целлерини еще в начале 1950-х годов. Его производство состояло всего из одной швейной машинки и нескольких отрезков кожи, купленных на деньги от небольшого наследства. Десять лет спустя Целлерини и его жена решили расширить ассортимент, начав пошив кожаных сумок и чемоданов для зажиточных флорентийских семей. Теперь бренд возглавляет дочь основателя – Алессандра, которая заботится о том, чтобы утвержденные родителями стандарты качества оставались всегда на высоте. Множество техник, использованных для пошива самой первой сумки бренда, по-прежнему
57
актуальны: раскрой кожи всегда выполняется только вручную опытными ремесленниками, затем отдельные куски тщательно обрезаются и сшиваются с применением самых последних технологий. Кроме всего прочего, Cellerini продолжает предлагать услуги персонального пошива изделий, как и пол века тому назад. Благодаря широкому разнообразию кожи, подкладочных тканей, ниток и фурнитуры, Cellerini может создать любое изделие из натуральной итальянской кожи специально по заказу клиента. Santoni – еще одно известное ателье, претендующее на звание лучшего в Италии. Оно было основано в 1975 году миланским портным Андреа Сантони и занимается пошивом роскошной обуви ручной работы. Сейчас брендом управляет уже второе поколение семьи Сантони, которому удалось не только расширить производство до уровня крупнейшего в стране, но и сохранить семейные ценности: качество, внимание к деталям и мастерство, полностью основанное на ручном труде. Два ключевых направления бренда – инновации и традиции – до сих пор обеспечивают прочную основу для работы. Сегодня Santoni сочетает в себе традиционное мастерство ручной работы и последние новаторские технологии производства. В результате
каждая пара обуви, будь то туфли или полуботинки, сидит на ноге просто идеально. Немало усилий уходит на поиск отборных сортов кожи и ткани, которые смогут обеспечить обуви комфортность, прочность и неотразимый внешний вид. Лучшим примером такого подхода служит последняя коллекция бренда – Limited Edition Collection, дизайном которой занимался сам Андреа Сантони. Все этапы создания обуви, начиная с первого раскроя тщательно отобранной кожи и заканчивая нанесением финальных фирменных штрихов, выполняются исключительно вручную и могут занимать неограниченное количество времени. Например, окраска кожи может состоять из более чем 15 этапов, что еще раз доказывает насколько ручной труд и мастерство ценятся на производстве Santorini. Однако вкусы стильных мужчин сегодня не ограничиваются лишь новинками итальянских аксессуаров. Все большую популярность среди поклонников красивого итальянского ремесла приобретают винтажные изделия из кожы. Миланский магазин Bernardini – настоящая сокровищница со множеством прекрасных старинных изделий, восстановленных должным образом. Основателем магазина в 1996 году был
58
Макс Бернардинию. На идею открытия нового дела в како-то мере повлиял бизнес его отца, долгое время торговавшего изысканным антиквариатом. В магазине посетителей ждет эклектичная коллекция редких и тщательно подобранных изделий, начиная от винтажных саквояжей, чемоданов и заканчивая дамскими сумочками Prada и Gucci. Многие из изделий были сделаны на заказ специально для богатых европейских путешественников еще во времена первых африканских экспедиций начала 20-х годов. Разнообразие и привлекательность коллекции служат прекрасной иллюстрацией многовекового качества итальянского производства, особенно в отношении изделий из кожи. Современные мужчины прекрасно понимают, что приобретение кожаных аксессуаров итальянского производства связано не только с выгодными инвестициями. Аксессуары могут дать весьма четкое представление о богатых итальянских традициях мастерства и пошива вещей на заказ. Изготовленные вручную аксессуары всегда были и остаются визитной карточкой итальянской роскоши и отличительным признаком по-настоящему хорошо одетого мужчины. cellerini.it, santonishoes.com, bernardinimilano.it globalblue.com

甜美生活 意大 利人将同等热 情投 诸 于丰盛 美食与华丽女装。与Elle Blakeman 一起探索该国两大爱好之间的亲密 关系 “目之所见的一切,无不是意大利面 的功绩。”这是意大利风尚无冕之王 Sophia Loren的名言。其充分说明 意大利精神中从不容纳折中主义。 这个国度为热 情而生— —对于 食 物、对于艺术、对于建筑或是对于 热情自身——这种奔放的情感在各 方面产生影响。 对于la dolce vita即甜蜜生活至 死不渝的追求,可从意大利人对待 食物的态度中略见端倪,意大利人 会以别国人讨 论政 治或体育的 热 情,来讨论食物:无不是满怀敬意、 深刻剖析、辩论热烈的争论。意大 利人坚定地认为,人们如果不能吃 得好,就无法好好思考、恋爱、或是 睡觉,这或许也是Julia Roberts最 近的电影Eat,Pray,Love的“食物”单 元,将场景设于罗马与那不勒斯的 原因,后者以制作无可匹敌的披萨、 以及各种使用大自然赋予的本地上 佳食材制作的特色菜而闻名。 意大利的女性同样备受尊重,人 们为女性的自然吸引力而欢庆。痛 苦的长期挨饿与为身材而节食从不 是他们的作风——正如Julia Roberts在Eat,Pray,Love中的角色风趣 展示的,她在享用完意大利美食后,
心满意足地挣扎着套上牛仔裤—— 与世界 其他角落的女人们大 相径 庭;想要赢得推崇,意大利女性需 要担心的只是她们的态度而已。 “所有的女人都是感 性的。 我 们 爱 他 们 全 部 ,” 意 大 利 品 牌 Dolce&Gabbana的半壁江山Stefano Gabbana表示。“这完全关乎 态度,”他补充道,并提醒我们没有 什么比女人不愿意吃、不愿意微笑 与享受生活更让人觉得丧气的了。 近3 0 年来,G abba n a与搭档D o menico Dolce自始至终讴歌着女性 形象,因为没有比黑色胸衣更吸引 人的衣物了。这一主题反复出现在 他们从1985年到2014年春/夏发布 的系列中,其中经典的紧身胸衣和 幼滑黑色蕾丝,已成为这对设计组 合的招牌设计。然而,任何将女性视 作花瓶的人都大错特错:意大利时 装的伟大之处在于,它只装扮女人, 而非女孩。” 从意大利众多享誉盛名的设计 师身上,我们可以见到其对于女性 的 敬佩,他们 用时 装 赋 予女 性 力 量:从Va lent i no的猩红色曳地礼 服,Gucci充满慑人气场的夹克与晚 礼服,到Armani完美的定制西服, 无不透露出面对混乱时以“少即是 多”应对的基本理念。 意大利时尚如同其备受热爱的 美食一般,因强调简单背后的力量 而别 具一 格;就 像 一小 把 精 致 的 新 鲜食 材就能让意大利面滋味出 众,一袭穿着得体、穿着场合适宜 的小黑裙不需要任何累赘的修饰。 裙子的廓形是其中关键:“ 在时尚 界最 难做到的不是因为一个lo g o 被 记住,而是因为 某 种廓 形 被 记 得。”Giambattista Valli非常认同 此点。意大利设计师们幸运地浸染 于精巧手工的历史文化中,继承了 世代延续的手法与技巧。当与全国 上下对于女性的崇敬相结合,这些

技艺便让设计师的作品从开始就脱 颖而出。正如Sophia Loren曾指出 的,“女性的衣服应该如同铁丝网: 发挥功用却不阻挡视线”;对于意大 利人而言,女性自身是第一位的,其 次才是着装。 时尚之外的舆论同样支持这一 观点,该国最具标志性的电影无不 启用引无数男性尽折腰的魅力女性 出演:试想La Dolce Vita一片中,风 采夺目的Anita Ekberg在Trevi喷泉 嬉戏的场景。而谁又能忘记Sophia Loren在El Cid中扮演的女性角色, 成功吸引了原本无意的C h a rlton Heston加入到对于她的追逐。 “意大利简约风格的优雅气息, 透露在他们创造的所有造型,及倡 导的所有美学理 念 之中,”时尚专 家与造型师Sa ra h Hoga n认为。“ 你绝对无法击败一名光彩照人、曲 线 玲 珑 的意 大 利女人,譬 如身 着 Dolce&Gabbana小黑裙的Monica Bellucci——这就是完美轮廓的最 佳定义。”
皮革,继承产业如此稀薄,谁也不 成料想,十年之后,Cellerini与妻子 将此品牌扩张做大,开创自主的皮 革、手袋、行李箱,一度成为佛罗伦 萨最富足的家族之一。 该品牌如今为创始人之女Alessandra掌舵,她将父母所留下的绝 世品质发扬光大。不少工艺技术依 旧保持至今:皮革切割完全由熟练 工匠手工精细完成。在缝制之前, 所有皮革皆被小心裁剪,当然,如今 日益先进的制造技术也为精良的制 作贡献良多。 同样,如今Cellerini所能提供的 个性化定制,比半个世纪前更为琳 琅满目。由于原材料的多样性,客户 可以自主选择小牛皮、衬 板、线和 硬件等等来组装。但凡客户有所心 愿,Cellerini皆可为其奉上意大利 皮革杰作。 另一家族工作室Santoni,可称得 上意大利最好的品牌。此品牌由Andrea Santoni于1975年创立,在米兰 城里内打造出精美绝伦的手工鞋。

无可挑剔的设计加上精湛的制作工 艺:难怪男人对意大利优良皮革如 此痴醉,Ruairidh Pritchard如此 说。 几个世纪以来,“意大利制造”一直是 非凡品质的代名词。这些知名品牌, 一直将本国的工匠技能发扬光大。 如今的优秀工匠们,比往昔更能将 才华发挥得淋漓尽致,制作出最为 出色的男装配件。从鞋子到帽子,皮 带和钱包,行李箱,意大利的手工皮 具均在奢侈品品质上创下新高。 意大利的传奇之一是Cellerini。 这个品牌由Silvano Cellerini在20 世纪50年代初创办,创办之时极为 简陋,不过拥有一架缝纫机和若干 globalblue.com

如今,Santoni第二代已掌舵数十年, 壮大成为意大利本土最大制鞋企业 之一。他们一直坚守着核心价值观 品质,对细节保持不懈的激情,以及 坚持一丝不苟手工打造工艺。 Santoni的两大关键支柱——创 新与传统——仍然是该品牌坚实的 基础。如今,Santoni结合了传统专 家手工工艺与开拓性的生产技术, 以确保每个品类臻至完美,无论是 粗革皮鞋或是切尔西靴子。 Santoni不惜将大量精力投入采 购最抢手珍稀的皮革和面料,以确 保每种风格有着尽善尽美的舒适, 实用耐用以及时尚美观。这些品质 在最新限量珍藏版上得到最为完美 的体现。所有设计和材料监督都由 Andrea Santoni亲自担当。从精心 挑选的皮革到最终打上品牌火漆, 每一步皆由手工费时费力完成。鞋 子制作上几乎不计时间成本,皮革 着色超过15道工序,这证明了Santoni对于工艺的重视程度。 然而,意 大 利皮革并非只是 新 近在富人圈中流行。复古及古董皮 具流传有序,如今越发为人重视, 不乏有心人投资于漂亮的意大利皮 革。米兰的Bernardini是一家古董 行,专门经营精美珍稀古董。该店由 Max Bernardini始建于1996年,他 的父亲一直以来为意大利最富有的 家族进口精美古玩,他的热爱与灵 感便来自于长期的耳濡目染。 这家古董行气氛温馨,甚至拥 有全职调酒师,是收集珍稀古董的 专业场地,古董皮具应有尽有,无论 是老式旅行箱包,手提箱或是梳妆 盒,品牌还包括Prada和Gucci。这 许多箱包当时为富裕的欧洲探险家 而制。那些探险家便携此箱包在二 十世纪初期第一次远征非洲。这些 传奇的故事,多样的皮具,精美的 设计都为意大利的品质皮具写下精 彩不凡的注脚。
对于 现代 男人而言,意大 利皮 具不仅拥有恒久风格,更拥有丰富 的专业工艺传统和个性化的定制技 术。这不仅是意大利男人着装的标 志风格,更是意大利制作对于奢侈 品行业的杰出贡献。 cellerini.it, santonishoes.com, bernardinimilano.it 52: When You Shop The World, Shop Tax Free 畅购全球,尊享退税 当您在全球顶级购物区中的27万多 家商店消费时,环球蓝联(Global B l u e)购物退 税 服务(Ta x F r e e Shopping)为您节约购物开销。 每年有两千六百多万名游客通过环 球蓝联(Global Blue)获得购物退 税,您怎能错过?您要做的只是寻 找蓝星标志或者问询商家是否提供 环球蓝联(Global Blue)服务,然后 遵循我们简单的退税过程: 1. 消费购物 无论您在哪里消费,请索要环球蓝 联退税表格(Global Blue Tax Free Form)。 2. 申请退税 当您准备回家时,您需要先去出发 城市的海关柜台请他们在您的退税 表格上盖章,然后再到我们的客服 柜台领取您的退税款。 联系方式: taxfree@globalblue.com +421 232 111 111 最低消费€154.94并且节约高达购 买价格15.5%的金额。请注意:最终 退款将包含增值税总额,但是要扣 除管理手续费。若选择即时现金退 税,部分退税点将以退税表格为单 位收取一定数额的手续费。

22: Life Is Beautiful ライフ・イズ・ビューティフル イタリア人は、食べ物と贅沢で女らし いファッションに等しく情熱を注いで いる。この国が愛するこの二つの関係 を、エリー・ブレイクマンが探った。

「あなたの目に映る私の姿は全て、ス パゲッティを食べてるおかげ。」―イ タリアのスタイルの女王といわれるソ フィア・ローレンがこう言ったことは有 名だ。何でもふんだんが一番というイ タリア人気質を見事に象徴した言葉 だ。食、芸術、建築、そして情熱その ものに対しても情熱を注ぐことで知ら れる国だけに、この豊饒感があらゆる ものに反映されている。
globalblue.com
ドルチェ・ヴィータ(いい人生)を 生きたいという揺るがぬ願望が最も 顕 著に表れているのは、食に対する イタリア人の姿勢だ。他の国の国民が 政治やスポーツについて意見を戦わ せるのと同じ勢いで、イタリア人は食 を語る。食に対して敬意を抱き、あれ これ分析し、猛烈な論戦を繰り広げ るのだ。イタリア人は、 「よく食べなけ れば、よく考え、よく愛し、よく眠るこ とはできない」と固く信じている。最 近のジュリア・ロバーツ主演映画『食 べて、祈って、恋をして』の「食べて」 の部分がローマとナポリを舞台として いるのは、おそらくそのせいだ。ナポリ は特に、豊かな自然に恵まれた地元 でとれる良質の食材を使ったピザやそ の他の特産料理で、右に出る者の無 い評判を大いに誇っている。 敬意はイタリア女性に対しても同 じで、自然体の魅力が愛でられる。 この国では、フィットネスに何時間も 費やし、食事制限で理想の体形を手 に入れるなど考えられない。ちょうど 『食べて、祈って、恋をして』でジュリ ア・ロバーツが演じるキャラクターが イタリアでの食三昧の後にジーンズを はくのに四苦八苦する場面があるが、 イタリア女性は他国の女性の多くとは 違う。敬愛されるために大事なのは専 ら心の持ちようなのだ。 「女性はみんな官能的。全ての女 性を愛してる」というのは、イタリアの ブランド、ドルチェ&ガッバーナの一 人、ステファノ・ガッバーナだ。 「要 は生き方だ」という彼は、食べること や微笑むこと、人生を楽しむことを拒 む女性ほど色気のないものはないこ とをしみじみ感じさせてくれる。ガッ バーナはパートナーのドメニコ・ドル チェと共に、30 年近くにわたって女性 の体形を賛美してきた。二人とも初期 の頃から、黒いブラほど魅力的な物 はないと言い続け、それが 1985 年か
63 ら今日まで一貫したテーマになってい る。2014 年の春夏コレクションにも、 このドュオの代表的スタイルとなった 古典的なビュスチェや黒のレーススリ ップが登場した。だが、全ては装飾だ と思ったら大間違い。イタリアンファ ッションの凄さの一つは、女の子では なく女の装いだという点だ。 本物の女を賞賛し力を与える能力 は、イタリアの有名デザイナーの多く に共通して見られるものだ。ヴァレンテ ィノの緋色のフロアレングスドレス、グ ッチの「手を出したら火傷するわよ」 と言わんばかりのパワフルなジャケッ トやロングドレス、アルマーニの完璧 な仕立てのスーツ。どれも皆、飾りは「 レス・イズ・モア」というのが全般を通 じた考え方だ。 イタリアンファッションは、愛され るイタリア料理と同じようにシンプル さが身上だ。新鮮な極上食材を数種 類だけ使うからこそ美味しいパスタに 似て、身体にフィットし締めるところ は締めたリトル・ブラックドレスは何も 加えずともそれだけで完璧なのだ。鍵 となるのはシルエット。 「ファッション 界で難しいのは、ロゴで知られるので なくシルエットで知られること」という ジャンバッティスタ・ヴァリも同感だ。 イタリアのデザイナーはラッキーなこ とに、代々受け継がれてきた技巧と 技能を持った優れた職人が織り成す 職人文化に囲まれている。そうした技 能と女性の体形を賛美する国柄が共 に、彼らのデザインの基盤となってい るのだ。ソフィア・ローレンがかつて言 った。 「女性のドレスは有刺鉄線のフ ェンスのようであるべき。景観を損な うことなく目的に適うことが大事」と。 イタリア人にとって、ドレスよりもまず 女性ありきなのだ。 ファッション以外の文化も、この 姿勢を踏襲している。イタリアを代表 する映画には、世の男をメロメロにす
る肉感的なスターが登場する。 『 甘い生活』の中でトレビの泉で水と戯 れるアニタ・エクバークの神々しい姿 を思い浮かべてほしい。また、 『エル・ シド』で不本意なチャールトン・ヘスト ンをたぶらかして意のままにするソフ ィア・ローレンの女体を誰が忘れられ ようか。 「イタリアのシンプルなエレガン スは、イタリア人のすること全てのスタ イル、彼らが信奉する審美感の隅々に 浸透している」というのは、ファッショ ンエキスパートでスタイリストのサラ・ ホーガン。 「モニカ・ベルッチのような 曲線的なイタリア女性がドルチェ&ガ ッバーナの黒のミニドレスをまとった 姿。これに勝る美はありません。まさ しく完璧なシルエットです。
28: All In The Detail ディテールがすべて 優れた職人技に非の打ちどころのな いデザイン、イタリアの高級革製洋品 ブランドが世界中の男性にうけている のも不思議はない。ルーリー・プリチ ャードがレポートする。 何世紀も前から、 「メイド・イン・イタ リア」といえば一際 優れた品質を意 味してきた。通はこの国の職 人が 持 つ伝統技能を常に高く評 価してきた が、その職人たちが今、従来にも増し てその才能を最高の革製紳士洋品の 生産に注いでいる。靴から帽子、カバ ン、ベルト、財布、旅行カバンに至るま で、イタリアの手作り革製品はさらな る贅沢の極みに達している。 イタリアのサクセスストーリーの 一つがチェレリーニだ。シルヴァーノ・ チェレリーニが1950 年代初頭に設立 したこのブランドは、少額の遺産を元 手に買ったミシン一台と獣皮一枚から 出発した。10 年後、チェレリーニとそ
64 の妻は事業を拡大し、当時のフィレン ツェの最富裕層を相手に、革のハンド バッグや旅行カバンを作り始める。 現在このブランドを率いるのは創 業者の娘アレッサンドラだが、比類の ない品質に対する両親のこだわりを 持ち続けることに心を砕いている。チ ェレリーニが初めてカバンを作った時 の作業手順の多くは、今も変わってい ない。革は全て同社の経験豊かな職 人が手でカットし、続くトリミングも手 作業で丁寧に行う。その後の縫製過 程では、製造技術の進歩の助けを借 りている。 また、チェレリーニでは半世紀以 上も前と同じレベルのパーソナライゼ ーション・サービスを今も提供してい る。仔牛革、裏地、糸、金具は幅広い 選択肢があり、自分だけのイタリア革 の傑作を誂えてもらえる。同じく家族 経営のアトリエで「イタリア最高」を 自称するのは、サントーニだ。アンドレ ア・サントーニが1975年に創業して以 来、ミラノ製手作り靴の傑作をいくつ

も生み出して来た。創業から数十年を 経て現在二代目が舵を取るサントーニ は、イタリア生まれの靴メーカーとして は国内有数の規模に成長したが、 「品 質」、 「ディテールへのこだわり」、 「も っぱら手作業」という基 本的な価値 観は変わらず持ち続けている。 ブランドの二大柱である「革新」と 「伝統」は、仕事の基礎として今も揺 るぎない。近年はブローグでもチェル シーブーツでも、一足一足の靴のフィ ット感を極めるために、伝統に根差し た職人の技と先駆的な生産技術とを 組み合わせている。 どのスタイルでもデザインが粋で、 しかも履き心地が良く実用的で耐久 性の高いものを作るために、最も珍 重される皮や生地の調達にも余念が ない。そうした努力がありありと見て とれるのが、同ブランドの最新限定コ レクションだ。デザインも材料も、ア ンドレア・サントーニが自ら吟味して いる。厳選された革のカットから最後 にサントーニのマークの焼印を入れる
65 までの全ての工程を手で行い、一足 を作るのに時間の制限はない。革の 着色過程一つでも15回以上色を重ね なければならないものがあり、それを 思えば、サントーニの生産には依然と して職人の技が最も重要なことがわ かる。 ところで、裕福な男性のお気に入 りは何も新品のイタリア製品だけで はない。ヴィンテージや修復されたア ンティークの革製品も、美しいイタリ アンレザーに投資したい人の間で人 気が高まっている。ミラノのベルナル ディーニは、手間暇かけて修復された 珍しいアンティーク物が一杯だ。この 店はオーナーのマックス・ベルナルデ ィーニが1996 年に開店した。父親が イタリアの大富豪向けの高級アンティ ーク輸入に携わっていたことがきっか けだ。 バーテンダーが常駐する感じのい い店内には、プラダやグッチといった ブランド製のヴィンテージのトランク やスーツケース、バニティケースなど、 巧みに入手した珍品を折衷したコレ クションが展示されている。その多く は、20 世紀はじめのアフリカ探検時 代初期にヨーロッパの富裕な探検家 用に作られたものだ。品揃えの多様さ と価値の高さは、イタリアの高級革製 品作りの長い歴史をまざまざと証明し ている。 現代の男性にとって、イタリア革 製洋品は長持ちするスタイルへの投 資であるだけでなく、職人技を駆使し たもの作りと、昔から真の着こなし上 手の特徴であり、本当の贅沢に対す るイタリア人のこだわりの印でもある 個々人に合わせたパーソナライゼーシ ョンの豊かな伝統について、興味深 い洞察を与えてくれるものでもあるの は確かだ。
