Owen Davey Illustrator Owen Davey created the cover for this season’s edition of SHOP Stuttgart. His bold and conceptual artwork has previously been commissioned by the Guardian, Nobrow and Lego among others. His striking use of colour makes him the perfect illustrator for this cover, inspired by our feature on the irresistible summer collections of Germany’s leading designers on page 28. It shows two women dressed for the warm weather, relaxing in the sunshine; the two fgures are also the hills in a landscape with the city of Stuttgart spread out below.

The temperature may be rising but, as the latest collections from Germany’s leading designers show, that needn’t mean compromising on style. Stephen Doig is impressed
HERE COMES SUMMER Anyone who lives in a city nicknamed the ‘Stuttgart cauldron’ (Stuttgarter Kessel) because of its sultry summers should, one feels, have an insight into how to look cool when the mercury rises. It’s all thanks to a quirk of geography: the city lies in a valley, surrounded by hills covered with woodland or vineyards, which means that when spring arrives, the temperature starts to rocket – and Stuttgart’s citizens get to show of their hot-weather fashion know-how. ‘Just because the weather is warm, it shouldn’t have to have an efect on your

Structure and form can be an essential part of dressing for warm weather
personal look,’ says stylist Giorgia Severino, whose client list includes Hollywood stars who need to look chic whatever the temperature. ‘What warm weather allows is a sense of fun and frivolity; it can be an opportunity to play with your style, to embrace colour, embrace print. It’s an experimental time.’ She’s right; while many businesswomen worry about how light fabrics and bold colour translate into a formal ensemble – it’s hard to look authoritative in a flmy cotton sundress – it would look equally odd to wear an overly
heavy woollen suit. All too often the idea of dressing for the heat is associated with slouchy shapes, light fabrics that are hardly ofce appropriate and sloppy footwear. Luckily, Stuttgart’s leading fashion stores ofer a range of German labels that are redefning how women dress in summer. German style as expressed by the country’s most successful labels has always been known for its stark functionality; at Hugo Boss, for instance, smart suiting is key. So how does this translate to summer? The trick, according to
Previous: Hugo Boss spring/summer 2014; Above (from lef): Baden-Baden; Hugo Boss; Jil Sander; Escada, all spring/summer 2014
S H O P | 31
Severino, is to build on what you have. ‘No one’s suggesting that you suddenly start dressing in bright pink minidresses if that’s not your style, but blending pieces into what you already have is a great way to embrace summer.’ At Escada, one of Germany’s leading labels, designer Daniel Wingate has combined vivid print, from contrasting zebra stripes to bold poppy fowers, with sleek tops and trousers: a splash of vibrancy tempered by more low-key separates. Meanwhile Aigner, with its zingy lime greens, lemon yellows and tangerine globalblue.com
oranges, has also kept things simple with sleek shift dresses and elongated skirts paired with blouses, bringing a sense of luxe sophistication to summer dressing. For women who are inclined towards a more classic sense of style, there are plenty of options for balmy days. Arm-baring shift dresses – as championed by Michelle Obama – are a solid summer investment; at Hugo Boss they come in pearly greys and of-whites, alongside narrow trousers teamed with light cotton jackets in peachy tones: summer has

never looked smarter. It all goes to prove that structure and form can be an essential part of dressing for warm weather. Getting summer accessories right can also be a minefeld. Women who normally opt for sharp stilettos and elegant courts may fnd them less than pleasant in soaring temperatures. Luckily, the popularity of the sandal wedge in recent years has meant this comfortable option has been given a highfashion makeover, perhaps most vividly at Jil Sander, which ofers solid monochrome wedges and sandals with sleek lines and contrasting Above (clockwise from lef): Jil Sander spring/summer 2014; a view of Baden-Baden; Escada spring/summer 2014; Daniel Wingate, creative director of Escada

straps. The cork-soled versions will feel efortlessly light even in treacle-thick air, and the height helps the wearer maintain a sense of poise and professionalism.

MAKING A SPLASH

Leading German swimwear designer Maryan Mehlhorn and her daughter Maya discuss the secrets of poolside glamour with Sally McIlhone
A town by the name of Murg doesn’t exactly conjure up images of golden beaches and sunkissed individuals lounging by the ocean in glamorous bathing costumes. Yet, it is here, a mere 20 minutes from the spa town of BadenBaden, that Germany’s Maryan Beachwear Group has its headquarters. It owes its existence to the company founded by Paul and Pia Döbele in 1946, which originally specialised in corsetry. Their daughter Maryan Mehlhorn took it over in 1976, launching the Maryan swimwear line –

later renamed Maryan Mehlhorn – a year later. As of 2013, with Maryan’s daughter Maya now also on board, the company has four swimwear brands, exports to more 57 countries worldwide and produces around 1,000 styles per year. Yet, without the cultural developments of the 1960s, it might all have been very diferent. ‘During the late 60s and early 70s the women’s liberation movement changed our family business dramatically,’ explains managing partner and senior designer Maryan Mehlhorn. ‘Women were throwing away their Lef: Maryan Mehlhorn swimwear, circa 1959
36 | F E AT U R E S
bras and so corsetry in the traditional way was no longer in demand. This was what drove us to concentrate on swimwear fashion.’ Inspired by the area’s long-standing bathing traditions, Maryan and her husband Thomas applied the fashion trends of the era to the beach, flling a gap in the market in the process. ‘When I started as a designer, swimwear was often reduced to either the pure sportswear look or extremely revealing,’ Maryan explains. ‘My aim was to create wearable trend-driven swimwear.’ Almost 40 years later the company continues to ofer catwalk-inspired swimwear,
and has been able to expand its reach to cater to both the sexes and a range of ages: for spring/ summer 2014 the Maryan Mehlhorn mainline ofers vibrant print and fgure-fattering designs; the youthful Watercult line is fun and afordable; the Lidea line ofers styles for cup sizes from A to H; and the Charmline shapewear collection aims to make every woman ‘look one size slimmer’. With such a diverse ofering, and one that is so successful, it’s clear that the mother-anddaughter team has an innate knowledge both of beach and poolside fashion and of what

Maryan and Maya Mehlhorn’s efforts to create beautiful beachwear for all sizes are to be applauded
their customers want from their swimwear. Body consciousness is one of the most sensitive subjects for women, so Maryan and Maya’s eforts to create beautiful beachwear for all sizes are to be applauded. Describing the design process as ‘a great challenge’, Maya explains, ‘Our aim is to make women feel confdent and beautiful no matter what their body or cup size.’ Both are incredibly proud of the fact that, in 1998, they became the frst to ofer shapewear swimsuits. ‘Initially it was a research project with a German textile company in our globalblue.com
home town,’ Maryan recalls. ‘Our idea was to develop a shaping fabric which was soft yet with a strong stretch. It took several years to bring this new microfbre material to life, and it was the frst swimwear fabric with a slimming efect.’ The company won a Meryl Award for developing the fabric used in the Charmline range and has continued to refne the design, with a fner version, Ultra Light, launching in 2004. Since 1996, the company has also ofered a small men’s range as part of the Watercult line. Unlike with the women’s range, the

designers have found it best to limit the men’s collection to a fnite number of quality pieces because of men’s practical attitude to selecting swimwear. ‘To design for men requires a diferent approach,’ Maya explains. ‘Whereas women buy in a very emotional and spontaneous way, men buy in a rather demanddriven way. Therefore, the collection is clearly structured and very compact.’ Not content with innovating in the feld of slimming swimwear, and maintaining four diverse beach lines, the company’s latest launch is the ‘luxury bikini’, encrusted with 27 gemstones in a rainbow of shades, from citrine and emerald to ruby and peridot, each set in globalblue.com
white gold. ‘Our aim was to create an ultimate high-fashion swimwear piece which is one of a kind,’ Maryan explains. Given the bikini’s price tag of €65,000, they have certainly achieved this. ‘It was originally created as an opener to the Chinese market and presented on the runway as grand fnale of the swimwear and lingerie show in Shanghai. It received great press there.’ Making waves yet again, Maryan and Maya Mehlhorn are poised to raise the style stakes by pools and on beaches all over the world maryanmehlhorn.com, watercult.com, lidea.de, charmline.de

На улице становится все жарче, однако судя по последним коллекциям ведущих немецких дизайнеров, это не отразится негативно на нашем стиле, – считает Стивен Дойг Вероятно любой житель Штутгарта, именуемый также местными «Kessel» (нем. Котел), с приходом летних месяцев задумывается о том, как ему сохранить стильный вид, когда за окном светит палящее солнце. Климат Штутгарта многим обязан своему географическому положению: город окружен холмами, покрытыми лесом и виноградниками, поэтому, когда приходит лето – температура подскакивает в один момент и горожане наряжаются кто во что горазд. «Если на улице становится жарко, это не значит, что ваш образ должен от этого страдать», – считает стилист Джорджиа Северино. Большинство ее клиентов – звезды Голливуда и для них исключительно важно выглядеть шикарно, независимо от погоды. «Теплая погода позволяет нам быть немного фривольными в выборе одежды; это идеальное время для экспериментов и поисков, а также возможность попробовать новый стиль, цвет или принт», – говорит она. В этом с ней трудно не согласиться. Многих деловых женщин беспокоит то, как светлые ткани и яркие цвета скажутся на деловом стиле, ведь сложно сохранить влиятельный вид, когда на тебе тонкий хлопковый сарафан, а шерстяной костюм при этом будет смотреться довольно странно. Часто наш стиль одежды в жаркую погоду связан с неуклюжими формами, тонкими, не подходящими для офиса globalblue.com
материалами, и нелепой обувью. К счастью, ведущие модные бутики в Штутгарте предлагают большой выбор одежды немецких брендов, переосмысливших подход к летнему женскому гардеробу. Немецкий стиль в исполнении знаменитых местных брендов всегда славился своей функциональностью. К примеру, для Hugo Boss ключевым элементом является элегантный костюм. Каким же образом все это сопоставить с летним сезоном? По мнению Сервино, начинать нужно с того, что уже имеется в наличии. «Никто не предлагает вам взять и начать носить ярко-розовую юбку, если это не ваш стиль. Летом лучше всего будет собрать образ из того, что у вас уже есть», – советует она. Даниэль Вингейт, дизайнер немецкого бренда Escada, решил применить яркие анималистичные и цветочные принты к элегантным топам и брюкам, немного смягчив динамичность более сдержанными вещами. В то же время бренд Aigner, знаменитый своим яркими оттенками зеленого, желтого и оранжевого, решил ничего не усложнять, придав своей коллекции из элегантных платьеврубашек, удлиненных юбок и блузок слегка роскошный и по-летнему нежный облик. Женщины, которые предпочитают всегда придерживаться классического стиля, также не останутся без выбора этим летом. Свободное платье-рубашка без рукавов, которое многие могли заметить на Мишель Обаме, будет идеальным летним вариантом. Лето с Hugo Boss будет знойным и элегантным: платья представлены в оттенках жемчужно-серого, наряду с узкими брюками и легкими хлопковыми пиджаками кремового цвета. Все это доказывает, что структура и форма может быть важной частью летней одежды. Подобрать летние аксессуары в свою очередь также может быть весьма непростой задачей. Носить аксессуары в

жаркую погоду занятие не из приятных, особенно для женщин, предпочитающих элегантные туфли на шпильках или на каблуках. Хорошей альтернативой здесь могут служить ставшие в последнее время популярными, в том числе и среди дизайнеров, босоножки на платформе. К примеру, Jil Sander предлагает множество монохромных моделей босоножек и сандалий с изящными линиями и контрастирующими пряжками. Модели с подошвой из пробкового дерева значительно
облегчают конструкцию обуви и придают владельцу чувство самообладания и профессионализма. В своей коллекции одежды для сезона весна-лето 2014 дизайнер отказалась от привычного минимализма в пользу ярких цветочных принтов, от чего ее костюмы демонстрируют феерическое буйство красок. О чем еще может мечтать смелая модница, составляющая свой летний гардероб? escada.com, aignerworld.com, hugoboss.com, jilsander.com

Летний Фурор Ведущий немецкий дизайнер купальников Мэриан Мельхорн и ее дочь Майя делятся секретами пляжной моды с Салли Макэлхон Город с названием Мург навряд ли вызовет у кого-то ассоциацию с золотыми океанскими пляжами и толпой туристов, загорающих в модных купальниках. Однако именно здесь всего в 20 минутах от курорта Баденglobalblue.com
Баден расположен главный офис немецкой компании «Maryan Beachwear Group». Своему расположению бренд обязан Полу и Пие Дёбеле, которые в 1946 году основали на этом месте предприятие по пошиву корсетных изделий. Их дочь Мэриан Мельхорн в 1976 году решила продолжить семейное дело и выпустила свою собственную серию купальников, назвав ее в свою честь «Maryan Mehlhorn». Позднее к дизайнеру присоединилась уже ее собственная дочь Майя. В 2013 году в компанию входило целых четыре бренда
59
купальников, выпускающих ежегодно 1000 новых моделей и представленных в магазинах 57 стран мира. И все же если бы не культурный прогресс 60-х годов, все могло бы быть несколько иначе. «Феминистские движения конца 60-х начала 70-х годов коренным образом повлияли на наш семейный бизнес», – поясняет дизайнер и генеральный директор Мэриан Мельхорн, – «Женщины больше не желали носить корсеты и естественно, что спрос на них постепенно стал угасать. Это заставило нас сосредоточить свое внимание на купальниках и пляжной моде». Учитывая курортные особенности региона, Мэриан и ее муж Томас решили долго не думать и воплотили существующие к тому времени тренды в пляжной одежде, заполняя образовавшийся на рынке пробел. «В то время, когда я только начинала работать, купальники либо напоминали спортивный костюм, либо были чересчур откровенными», – поясняет Мэриан, – «Передо мной стояла задача – создать стильный купальник, который было бы приятно носить». Спустя почти 40 лет компания все еще предлагает купальники, вдохновленные высокой модой. Однако сегодняшний ассортимент куда шире прежнего и рассчитан на представителей обоих полов самых разных возрастов. Основная линия Maryan Mehlhorn в сезоне весналето 2014 предлагает яркие принты и подчеркивающий достоинства фигуры дизайн; молодежная линия Watercult забавная и доступная; в коллекции Lidea представлены модели с чашечками размеров от A до H; а серия Charmline поможет каждой женщине «выглядеть на один размер стройнее». Судя по широкому ассортименту изделий творческий тандем матери и дочери доказал свою состоятельность: они не только обладают врожденным знанием пляжной моды, но и хорошо разбираются в потребностях своих покупателей. Каждая женщина с особым вниманием относится к своему телу, поэтому стремление Мэриан и Майи создать красивые купальники
всех размеров только приветствуется. «Наша задача сделать так, чтобы женщина чувствовала себя уверенной и красивой независимо от размеров тела и чашечек бюстгальтера», – поясняет Майя, описывая процесс дизайна купальников. Оба дизайнера невероятно гордятся тем фактом, что в 1998 году они стали первой компанией, выпустившей корректирующие купальники. «В течение семи лет мы провели множество исследований совместно с одной немецкой фабрикой», – вспоминает Мэриан, – «Нашей целью была разработка моделирующего материала, обладающего мягкими и эластичными свойствами. В результате мы создали первую ткань для купальников из микроволокна с корректирующим эффектом». За создание инновационного материала, нашедшего воплощение в коллекции «Charmline», компания получила престижную награду «Meryl Award». Последующие разработки и улучшения привели к запуску в 2004 году новой серии купальников «Ultra Light». Начиная с 1996 года линия «Watercult» стала включать небольшую серию мужских плавок. Поскольку мужчины подходят весьма практично к выбору плавок, дизайнеры решили, что мужскую коллекцию лучше всего будет ограничить небольшим числом качественных моделей. «Дизайн плавок для мужчин требует несколько иного подхода», – поясняет Майя, – «Если женщины совершают покупки довольно эмоционально и спонтанно, то мужчины наоборот стараются покупать только то, в чем они действительно нуждаются. Поэтому коллекция хорошо структурирована и очень компактна». Не собираясь останавливаться на достигнутом, дизайнеры Maryan Mehlhorn выпустили «роскошные бикини», украшенные 27 драгоценными камнями различных оттенков. Предпочтение было отдано цитрину, изумруду, рубину и перидоту, при этом каждый из камней был помещен в золотую оправу. «Мы хотели создать уникальный в своем роде купальник от кутюр», – поясняет Мэриан. Учитывая его итоговую стоимость, а это
60
65 000 евро, дизайнерам удалось добиться своего. «Изначально он задумывался для китайского рынка и был впервые представлен во время шоу-показа купальников и нижнего белья в Шанхае, где его ждал большой успех». Однако, похоже, что для Мэриан и Майи Мельхорн это далеко не предел, и они готовы покорять все новые и новые вершины пляжной моды. maryanmehlhorn.com, watercult.com, lidea.de, charmline.de 52: When You Shop The World, Shop Tax Free

28: Here Comes Summer 炎夏将至 温度日渐上升，德国先锋设计师对于风尚的追求热 情不减， Stephen Doig对其大加赞赏 任何一个住在这个被称为“斯图加特火炉” （Stuttgarter Kessel）城市的人都熟知如何在湿热 的天气里跟进时尚。 因为地理位置的缘故，这个城市坐落在山谷里， 群山环绕着丛林或葡萄园，这就意味着春天一到，气 温就迅速飙升——斯图加特的居民们的热带风尚感 马上就能派上用场。 造型师Giorgia Severino为好莱坞明星设计各 种温度下的造型，她说： “正因为天气如此炎热，我 们才不能让它影响到我们的穿着。是这种热度给人 带来一种快乐奔放的感觉，同样它也是您实验时尚 的美好催化剂，让您爱上色彩和印花。革新的时机 就在眼前。” 她说的对；当很多职业女性在担心面料过轻和 色彩过于明亮的同时，一层薄薄的棉质裙子很难给 人干练的感觉，但是夏天穿一件厚重的羊毛西装又 极不合适。通常夏天的装束都是慵懒、轻盈而不适 合办公场合。好在那些潮流的斯图加特店为德国女 性的夏天带来缤纷选择。

德国先锋泳装设计师Maryan Mehlhorn和她的女 儿 Maya与编辑Sally McIlhone共享泳池边的时尚 魅力秘诀 穆尔格这个名字并不能让人联想到金黄沙滩和鲜 艳泳装映衬下的小麦肤色。然而也是这里，距离温 泉度假镇20分钟的巴登巴登，德国泳装品牌集团 Maryan的总部。 Paul和 Pia Döbele于1946年创建了这个品牌， 最早生产corsetry，他们的女儿 Maryan Mehlhorn 在1976年的时候接过了家业，发布Maryan泳装系 列，一年后将品牌重新命名为Maryan 。2013年, 随 着Maryan女儿 Maya的加入，公司旗下已有4个分 支品牌，出口至全球57多个国家，每年生产出1，000 多款泳装。但如果没有1960年代的社会文化变革， 这一切几乎都不可能。 “60年代晚期和70年代初期的女性解放运动 改变了我们整个家族企业的命运， ”管理层兼高级
德国风尚一直以它质朴和实用著称，如Hugo Boss，睿智是品牌的形象。那有人会问，这和夏天有 什么联系呢？对Severino来说，这是建立在自身风 格的基础上的。 “如何不适合你，没人强迫你穿亮粉 色迷你裙。但是融入自己已有的单品是拥抱夏天的 绝妙方式。” 德国知名品牌Escada的设计师Daniel Wingate将斑马线或罂粟花与时髦的上衣和裤子搭 配在一起：扑面而来的活力与低调的基本款中和。 与此同时 Aigner的青柠色、柠檬黄和明亮橙简单 的风格让小短裙或衬衫配一步裙，为夏日时尚带来 质感。 对那些更加优雅的女性，夏日里有足够的穿着 选择。像奥巴马夫人常穿的露肩小裙子就是一款很 棒的投资。 珍珠灰和浅白色的Hugo Boss小裙子 搭配瘦腿裤和桃红色小西装：夏天的灵动感马上就 被穿出来。 配饰是夏日搭配雷区。女士们钟爱的细跟尖和 恨天高在持续的高温下可能不再优雅，好在近几年 坡跟凉鞋被设计的时尚高端起来，Jil Sander就是 设计坡跟单鞋和彩色凉鞋的代表。穿上软木底的设 计更是脚步轻盈，适当的高度穿出女性的专业和优 雅。2014年春夏，设计师还突破了惯常朴素干练的 极简主义，开始融入花朵的元素，将酷感和色彩强 强联合。拥有这些以后，时尚潮人们的夏日衣橱别 无他求。 escada.com, aignerworld.com, hugoboss.com,

设计师Maryan Mehlhorn解释道： “女人们摆脱她 们的文胸，没有人再需要购买传统的塑身胸衣。这 时候我们开始重视泳装。”因为当地悠久的沐浴传 统，Maryan和她的丈夫Thomas将当地的时尚潮 流带到了海滩边，顺利地填补市场空白。她补充道： “设计之初，当时的泳装要么很运动，要么极度暴 露。我的目标就是设计出实穿又时尚的泳装。” 将近40年后的今天，公司仍在设计T台灵感启发

ODE TO GENIUS 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 rhodiumSave up to 14.5% by shopping tax free, see page 52
plated nib is engraved with a bat’s wing, which inspired da Vinci’s design for a fying machine; the red gold-plated 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 Great Characters Limited Edition Leonardo pens, from €2,500, Montblanc, Stiftstrasse 4, 70173 Stuttgart, +49 (0)711 284 1116, montblanc.com * for map go to page 44
