MAGAZ I N E

Dear Readers, Taking up the theme of shaping identities, we begin a new season by returning to our focus on the current challenges of the marketplace. Identity (from the Latin idem, meaning “the same”) is everything that characterizes a subject or an object, so PA N O R A M A B E R L I N decided to analyze and reorganize every aspect of the trade show.

Apart from the new and optimized hall and segment structure, which we have adjusted to meet demand, the concept of community is being emphasized because changes in the market affect us all. New community areas in every hall will connect exhibitors with visitors, encouraging casual conversation and emphasizing the basic concept of PA N O R A M A B E R L I N as the event kicking off the new season – where information and inspiration are most important. We have also installed lifestyle areas in all halls to underscore our continued belief that integrating non-textiles and lifestyle products into the segments ultimately invigorates fashion retail.

Digitalization in the industry is and remains an important issue, which is why we are again presenting various suppliers under the heading of fashion tech solutions. Issues that are getting more attention include sustainability, which was long confined to a niche but is now widely accepted. Under the title X O O M , Innatex, Germany’s oldest and most successful platform for sustainable fashion, is presenting a selection from its brand portfolio in Hall 7A for the first time. S E LV E D G E R U N is making its first appearance at Marshall Haus as another key player in the heritage segment. What X O O M has in common with S E LV E D G E R U N and the new Solemart event at the entryway to PA N O R A M A B E R L I N is that they all embody a vital community engaged in a lively exchange with shared values. This notion of what it means to be authentic and the fires of enthusiasm drive us forward. Please join us. Get inspired! Yours, Jörg Wichmann

ANZEIGE DB SCHENKERfairs will suit your needs! A successful fashion fair requires perfectly designed logistics services. As the official trade fair logistics provider we provide the entire logistics services for your fashion trade show.

S E LV E D G E R U N

SELVEDGE RUN PRESENTS ITS SIXTH EDITION AT A SPECIAL LOCATION IN THE MARSHALL HAUS ON THE GROUNDS OF MESSEGELÄNDE BERLIN.

The cooperation with PA N O R A M A B E R L I N and the change of location bring the Berlin trade fair scene closer together, and it means that S E LV E G D E R U N intentionally opens its event to a larger, international audience. It also lays the foundation stone for an ongoing cooperation that will bring long-term growth and development opportunities to the city of Berlin as well as to all participants – while providing industry visitors with optimal service. S E LV E D G E R U N describes the cooper ation with PA N O R A M A B E R L I N as an important gesture that will bring about the following: International buyers and media representatives will focus more strongly on Berlin again. “We look forward to the new location and to working with PA N O R A M A B E R L I N ,” says Shane Brandenburg. “As in any good partnership, it is important to remain authentic and maintain one’s sense of individuality. The resulting synergies and mutual respect for each other’s strengths can lead to something that is greater than the sum of the individual parts.”

For the 2018 winter season, S E LV E D G E R U N has selected the motto C O R E C O N C R E T E C R A F T , which unites a unique portfolio of young innovators and strongminded pioneers from the denim and

heritage scene. C O R E gathers core brands such as Fleurs des Bagne, Stetson or Simmons Bilt, as well as concise denim brands such as Indigofera and Pure Blue Japan. C O N C R E T E combines modern design demands with classic-traditional production techniques. Among the brands are Hansen Garments Copenhagen, Crescent Down Works from Portland and Merz B. Schwanen from Berlin. The C R A F T theme combines craftsmanship and traditional production techniques and includes Berlin-based manufacturer Emma Opitz and the label Gold & Baer. Once again, numerous Japanese brands are among the show’s exhibitors, such as Addict Clothes Japan, Momotaro, Orgueil, Pallet Life Story and Stevenson Overall Co. A carefully selected brand portfolio remains a key factor for the success of the show and sustainably carries on the DNA of S E LV E D G E R U N : quality, consistency, tradition and authenticity. International brands appreciate the special atmosphere and the trade show’s unique community feeling and use S E LV E D G E R U N as an exclusive industry meeting place.

Back to the City

Karolina Landowski: The Düsseldorf-based freelance journalist and author has been writing and lecturing on fashion and contemporary issues for the past ten years. She writes for industry magazines including ST E P , S C H U H K U R I E R and L E D E R WA R E N R E P O R T .

Even though it seems that the entire industry is currently dealing exclusively with the ongoing issue of digitization, a small, quiet renaissance is taking place in the shadow of this inevitable future scenario. Bold new store concepts and refreshing generational changes are reviving a terrain that some had long since thought lost: brick-and-mortar retail. The chances of this revival taking off aren’t bad, because people today yearn for unique experiences in all areas of life – experiences that turn into something meaningful. In our inner cities, consumer needs are no longer being met – instead, ideally, they are being awakened! Fewer and fewer customers go downtown just to buy a pair of black pumps. They do this online. They go downtown to look for a black pair of pumps and then come home with a red tote bag, a pair of shiny statement earrings or a box of gourmet licorice. Instead of getting bogged down by the breadth and depth of their own product range, successful retailers now create shopping incentives in the form of wellplaced highlights – and by interacting with their customers in a way that’s highly emotional. More and more inner cities are turning into social hubs. What customers are looking for downtown often has nothing to do with wellstocked shelves or big discounts; instead, they are looking for human warmth, a nice conversation, an honest smile.

However, what they usually find is anonymity and a monotonous product line that looks just like the one from the shop next door. Consumers really want to be entertained. They want to hear a good story or make an exciting discovery. Retailers who are passionate and dedicated when it comes to business and sales concepts that rely on authenticity but still provide variety – these are the factors that quench this silent longing. Exceptional product lines that offer unforgettable surprises and a more knowledgeable sales staff able to tell a compelling story about every single product are indispensable ingredients for the future of brick-and-mortar retail. To awaken emotions, to create experiences and to entertain customers – these are three well-known rules of thumb that nonetheless only a handful of retailers draw on. Just make sure that your customers will have a valuable experience – by inviting them to a fashion breakfast; by showing them pop-up areas that change weekly; by being generous and accommodating. While the whole industry is busy with digitization, the most important thing is often neglected: the product. The new collections are full of stories that are worth telling. Why don’t you start telling such stories tomorrow?

Revivo Candela B R E E presents two Fall/Winter 2018 highlights at this year’s Panorama Berlin: The legendary Stockholm series – here, traditional craftsmanship and sustainable workmanship meet design “made in Germany.” The collection stands for top-quality natural leather and award-winning German design. The trend towards athleisure continues: Under this season’s theme “Champions,” the premium bag manufacturer presents a collection that blurs the boundaries between sports, work and travel, focusing on comfort, movement and sustainability. I C H I Colors like muted clay and faded yellowish tones, combined with caramel brown, represent the complete Fall feeling. There is an optimistic feel to the colors, even though they are a darker palette. Bohemian flowery prints, painted by hand, give the collection a special vintage vibe. With the mix of corduroy, there is a strong tendency towards the ’70s. A chunky knit with ruffles, a layered skirt or a pair of culottes, a signature printed dress and a pair of snake half boots are all you need for the start of Fall 2018. R E V I V O C A N D E L A was founded in 2014. Since then, the brand has been producing high-quality scented candles and room fragrances. Based in Hamburg, every single candle is lovingly poured by hand – sustainably and with respect for nature. The Classic Collection with the cork lid quickly became a customer favorite and the brand’s flagship product. Clean, straightforward and in the unpretentious style of the Hanseatic city, the Classic range has the potential to become a classic candle.

Dresses are the new darling of the fashion world and a huge range is presented: from opulent panne velvet dresses to Grace Kelly silhouettes to casual sweatshirt dresses – all featuring a special touch added through color and prints.

P L O E N E S “Real guys wear ties” – young trendsetters are just starting to get into something that established businesspeople are increasingly taking leave of. Real guys like ties – whether it’s a narrow tie or bow tie, smart ties are in fashion. Rustic styles, fabric blends, and prints on washed cotton in fall colors like cognac, berry, olive and navy are setting the tone this coming winter and are anything but a mundane business tie. However, things are changing here too – in places where “exciting” everyday apparel consists of a black suit and white shirt, a nice tie will soon provide a liberating accent.

Since then, M A N P L A N has grown and so has the product range.

A L B E R T O enters the new season in top form. Pants with slender pleats, reduced, sharply cut silhouettes, and slim jackets stand for modern quality cuts as does the entire jeans range by the pants label. The fabrics are also carefully selected: Cozy wool and flannel fabrics meet contemporary corduroy, cashmere or superfit denim. Together with the muted, emphatically masculine mix of chalk strips, checks, salt & pepper or herringbone designs, the result is a confident, easy-to-wear look that combines modernity with cool casualness.

The next winter collection focuses on a synergy between function and cut – a combination that creates excitement.

B E N V E N U TO increasingly uses fabrics with a specific function: jersey, stretch fabric, breathable fabrics as well as water repellent and waterproof fabrics. The brand makes it a point to select fabrics that give the various models a certain added value. N O W A D A Y S Simple. Modern. Smart. The Fall/Winter collection once again puts the focus on the two pillars of the N O W A D AY S brand: firstly, on very modern looks and a reduced, but expressive visual representation of the brand and, secondly, on integrating modern, sophisticated pieces into the relevant product groups. With its commercial success, the brand’s goal is to boldly expand the budget and the brand’s message. Step by step, we would like to take our retailers and end consumers on this journey with us. Shirts and knitwear are our strongest product groups and we will continue to develop these areas accordingly.

The new season’s offerings branch out into two intertwining colorways. Navy, blue, light blue, and olive blend into black, anthracite, grey, silver grey, and white. The overall color palette is very clean, dark, and masculine. It creates the basis for effective structures, patterns, and new styles. A fine Donegal tweed is the theme of the collection and weaves together – like the proverbial golden thread – the jackets, waistcoats, trousers, and suits. The silhouettes are slender, but very easy-fitting. B U G A T T I The new B U G AT T I collection for Fall/Winter 2018 is full of modern new ideas with a high lifestyle factor. A relaxed smartness, authenticity and naturalness characterize the look. Whether fabrics, patterns, material mix, shapes and colors: bugatti meets the zeitgeist. Eye-catchers include coats with oversize checks, chenille shirts or trousers with provocatively large checks. Beside popular winter darks, colors such as brighter neutrals are trending. Wintery yellow, red and green nuances provide suspense. An innovative highlight are the heatable jackets of the EnergySeries.

BESSIN: Fashion for Heroines

Interview R A L F

STROTMEIER

AFTER GIVING THE PROVERBIAL BOOT TO THE PINK JOGGING SUIT OF HER CHARACTER CINDY FROM MARZAHN, ILKA BESSIN IS BACK WITH HER OWN PLUS-SIZE FASHION LABEL: BESSIN. PANORAMA BERLIN MAGAZINE MET UP WITH THE NEWLY MINTED FASHION ENTREPRENEUR AND SUCCESSFUL GERMAN COMEDIENNE TO INTERVIEW HER ABOUT HER ASPIRATIONS AS A DESIGNER AND ABOUT DRESSES UP TO SIZE 54. Ms. Bessin, how did you get into the fashion business?

I’ve always been interested in fashion. For me, fashion is expressive and I love beautiful things. Touch is especially important for me. I have often seen girlfriends dress in clothes that I would have liked to wear, but they were never available in my size. That’s why I decided to design my own collection. That plus size women bemoan the limited selection of fashionable clothing in their size is nothing new. What is it exactly that you saw was amiss? Was it primarily an absence of correct fit, that is, suitable sizes, or stylistics?

Simply both of these! Frequently, plus-size fashion is cut like a formless sack, without any structure, more like a poncho and less appealing on the level of design, because the designers probably always think that this or that style won’t work for plus sizes. In your opinion, what are the greatest sins resulting from this assumption?

Designer I L K A B E S S I N aka Cindy from Marzahn

There’s an utter lack of style, because it seems that no one can actually imagine a real plus-size figure as the crucial pivot of a collection, and

likewise for the practical translation of this idea into a dress that begins with the cut. Even full-bodied women have a waistline or a nice bust that wants to be accentuated. Is there or was there something that you had to observe again and again in the plus-size fashion world and that made you angry?

It’s less about seeing than hearing, like, for example, that fat women can’t wear black or some such nonsense. All this blather is about telling plus-size women what won’t work for them. But there are also some things that in my opinion are simply misconceived, because they ignore the problematic areas that do exist. Do you believe that plus-size fashion should take its cues from predominant fashion aesthetics, which are obviously based on very slender people? Or would it require its own aesthetic vision?

I often get the impression that designers would prefer to cover up and hide the full-bodied woman. To have a concrete vision, a real sense for the issues at hand is of course always a big advantage, but it’s often enough to simply respect the facts as

R E TA I L N E W S 155

they are and many pieces of clothing that are also available in larger sizes don’t do that. I see way too many sleeveless pieces that I think don’t work at all. You did not go to fashion design school, so how do you develop your collection?

I go to textile expos and look around. Then my designer and I select fabrics, colors and styles that we like and want to include in the collection. That could mean things that I saw while I was on vacation, such as these black, folkloristic dresses that I found in Portugal and that inspired me to create blouses decorated with delicate flower embroidery. Or these Norwegian sweaters which we turned into long, cuddly cardigans. So, you don’t have a big-name partner in the industry?

No, we do everything ourselves, from design to production, distribution and financing. B E S S I N is a completely independent fashion label. Our approach is very hands-on! Do you have a role model, a designer whom you admire very much?

No, I don’t! I don’t have any designer role models, because my approach is much too organic and pragmatic for that. I’m all about offering women plus-size fashion that works, i.e., that looks good, that accentuates the plus side of their bodies, and that feels good to put on and be in.

What advice would you give to full-bodied women when it comes to fashion?

I tell women, especially those who are overweight, to wear what they want to wear. Authenticity is more important than dressing up in disguise. Generally, we only look good when we feel good about – or in! – what we are wearing. Everybody should use fashion as a way to wrap themselves up like a present and make themselves happy. Positive vibes are always the basis for any great look! For real? Instead of taking the trouble to launch your own fashion label, you could also have made a whole lot of money by simply doing commercials for dietary supplements.

Correct, and I get such proposals all the time. But B E S S I N wants to present full-bodied women with an alternative that allows them to be beautiful and to feel good instead of opening up old wounds. A little while ago, Inga Griese of the Welt newspaper occasioned a shitstorm when she said this about overweight people: “Being overweight is a problem – not an achievement.” (Welt, Dec. 2, 2017). What do you think about that?

This statement needs to be parsed correctly and judged accordingly. If we’re talking about obesity, then there’s nothing to sugarcoat. Then we’re talking about an illness. It’s one thing to live with a few more pounds on your hips and another to have grave health problems due to obesity. Health is what’s most important in any case. Fat people should exercise too and keep fit. Those who are healthy and who feel good, regardless of whether they’re fat or skinny, will not have any problems with their state of wellbeing and that’s the principal basis for looking good!

Interview

R ALF STROTMEIER

UNDER THE TITLE XOOM, INNATEX (INTERNATIONAL TRADE FAIR FOR SUSTAINABLE TEXTILES) IS EXHIBITING FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ITS OWN SECTION AT PANORAMA BERLIN. PANORAMA BERLIN MAGAZINE SPOKE WITH XOOM PROJECT MANAGER ALEXANDER HITZEL ABOUT DEVELOPMENTS IN SUSTAINABLE FASHION.

Mr. Hitzel, INNATEX is Germany’s oldest and most successful trade fair for sustainable fashion. They’ve been doing it for 20 years now. How did everything get its start and what was the reason behind it?

In 1997, a few ambitious fashion brands started the “Ökotex” textile trade fair. At the time it was more like an experiment, with pioneers embarking on a project. Everyone agreed that natural textiles needed a voice. You see, back then, artificial fibers, which were usually cheaper and easier to clean, were on the rise. Ökotex presented a countermovement back to more nature and a sense of naturalness. When you began a trade fair for sustainable textiles in 1997, sustainability was not yet mainstream. Were you ridiculed or seen as a true pioneer?

Back then, natural textiles were a total niche and its presence in the textiles market was absolutely minuscule. There was a select group of sellers that exhibited to customers at the first I N N AT E X trade fairs. It was all very straightforward. No doubt, a few outsiders made fun of the group. But they were the very pioneers that laid the cornerstone and paved the way for today’s green fashion market. A lot of new fashion brands appreciate this at I N N AT E X .

What’s changed over the years?

The image 20 years ago was that of hippies, but the market has quite naturally gone mainstream over time. Nowadays every city has at least one – and often several – stores selling sustainable and fair-trade fashion. You can’t distinguish the designs from traditional fashion anymore and there’s now a wide variety of items being sold in the market where a lot of young labels are committed to going “green.” What do you think still needs to change in the future for sustainability to play a greater role in fashion?

The significance of sustainability has grown enormously and overall is on a good trajectory. Technical innovations, new materials, and increased recycling management have diversified the green fashion world. But we need to bring the issue out of its niche, and major brands need to become amenable to change. That would help establish green fashion in traditional specialty stores.

You often hear the criticism that sustainable fashion is a niche product serving a specific clientele but is not fashionable enough for the mainstream to be widely accepted. What do you say about that?

Those are preconceived notions that unfortunately are slow to go away. At this point, I don’t understand what people mean by “not fashionable enough.” Sustainable fashion covers almost every facet – from denim and streetwear to womenswear and avantgarde. No doubt, in the early years of the movement it was more likely that a “political agitator” would wear natural textiles than a respectable manager or fashion-conscious person in their late 20s. But those times have definitely passed. And the argument that “green fashion” is always more expensive than traditional brands is simply wrong to me. What are your hopes in partnering with Panorama Berlin? I N N AT E X is the leading platform

for sustainable fashion in Europe. With X O O M , we enable our exhibitors to network mainly with traditional fashion retail. Conversely, Panorama Berlin gets robust exposure for the issue. The partnership offers great long-term potential to bring sustainable fashion further out of its niche.

Guy Bourdin (1928-1991) revolutionized fashion photography in the 1960s and 1970s. Apart from the obviously timeless elegance of his work, he developed the idea of the so-called “radical chic.” The H E L M U T N E W TO N F O U N D AT I O N is exhibiting select commissioned works for the first time. Under the title I M A G E M A K E R , Bourdin is represented by photographs from a variety of publications. In particular, his pictorial icons and the imaginative advertising images for shoes by Charles Jourdan, along with lesser-known works, vintage prints, and layouts from French V O G U E .

G U Y B O U R D I N – U N T O U C H E D In U N TO U C H E D , Steidle has published an excellent book that gives insight into the development of Bourdin’s photographic eye with early, largely unpublished work. The carefully constructed images, which were initially conceived of as an exhibition series, show his artistic motivation years before he was commissioned by French V O G U E .

THE MONOCLE TRAVEL GUIDE

ES WIRD NACHT IM BERLIN DER WILDEN ZWANZIGER

M Y T H O L O G Y Berlin in the 1920s – that vibrant, fast-paced metropolis brimming with outrageous joie de vivre while, in the background, the dark clouds of the looming global financial crisis and the Nazi regime takeover are taking shape – is one of the great myths of the 20th century. Collaborating with author Boris Pofalla, illustrator Robert Nippoldt has captured the mood of that era by creating a complex portrait of the city and its atmosphere. A music CD containing 26 rare original audio recordings turn the book into a Gesamtkunstwerk (“total work of art”). E S W I R D N A C H T I M B E R L I N D E R W I L D E N Z W A N Z I G E R (Night is falling in wild

C O M P E N D I U M The Wende Museum in Culver City (Los Angeles) houses one of the world’s largest collections of East German artifacts. This volume presents more than 2,000 of them – stylish design objects as well as everyday things, Stasi relics, propaganda posters, adverts and commercials, fashion styles, objects symbolizing national loyalty or dissident views, whimsical things and tragic things that speak to this state of socialist workers, farmers and bigwigs. Based on the folio edition (which presents the most comprehensive survey of East German visual and material culture to date), this affordable new edition gives us a glimpse of the fascinating remnants of a world that has vanished.

G U I D E From historical to hip – Berlin is a city full of palpable creative energy seasoned with a healthy dose of cultural relevance. Berlin is more than just its nightclubs and a bad hangover the morning after – even though a night out and about around here is still rarely a disappointment. It’s a city always in motion and always able to reinvent itself. We guarantee you that this Berlin guide, edited by the Monocle crew, will show you that there’s always much more to discover.

FOOD & DR I N KS

What goes into the making of a good food blog? Sure, for one there’s the selection of restaurants to be presented, also an absence of bias and a commitment to fairness, and then – in the true sense of the word – the good taste of the food critic. S T I L I N B E R L I N , though, adds to this yet another important component. The founder of the blog – Mary Scherpe – reveals in every one of her contributions that, when it comes to gastronomy, it matters to her personally to know what’s going on in her elective home city of Berlin. It’s not enough for her to just report on the texture of a parsnip purée and to berate staff for poor service. The foundation of her work seems rather to be the happy confluence of her genuine love for Berlin and for good food, as well as her interest in the development and processes of the capital’s food scene. A chef ’s menu may be as brilliant as they come, but if he is an ill-tempered crank full of contempt for his co-workers, then he won’t receive the certificate of “Seriously recommended” that she created.

Like no one else, Mary Scherpe also discusses the ills of gastronomy, such as poor labor conditions and lousy wages or things like congresses and rankings where once again not a single woman in a key position is represented. Another characteristic that reveals this blogger’s unique and solitary position? While the desperate print media are looking for shelter and success in the digital world, she dares to go in the exact opposite direction. The Internet is her professional home, but with her printed map – its newest edition just published – she puts her money on a product that can be picked up and held in our hands to help us discover Berlin in its most delicious aspect. For us, Berlin’s No. 1 food blogger prepares a winter menu composed of her most favorite dishes made by her most favorite restaurants. Cook it yourselves or try it directly at the restaurant – S E R I O U S LY RECOMMENDED.

APPETIZERS

LODE & STIJN’s Snacks

Actually, we wanted to present a threecourse menu at this point, but those little snacks served as hors d’oeuvres at LO D E & S TJ I N , along with their homebaked sourdough bread and salted butter – these are simply among the best Berlin’s gastronomy has to offer. That’s why we can’t leave them out as appetizers. An absolute highlight are the “Bitterballen” – Dutch meatballs created by Lode van Zuylen – and the chickpea panelle Sicilian fritters. By now, word’s gotten around that at Lode & Stijn one highlight follows another in course after course of its five-course-meal, which is why it is of the essence to reserve your spot several days in advance. LO D E & S T I J N

Lausitzer Straße 25 10999 Berlin-Kreuzberg +49 30 65214507

PA N E L L E CH ICKPEA FR ITTE RS WITH LE MON Stir 250 grams of chickpea flour into 650 ml of boiling water with an egg whisk. Boil briefly and then remove from heat. Add salt as desired, allow briefly to thicken while stirring every 30 seconds with egg whisk so that no skin will form. Roll out the mixture between 2 layers of baking parchment until it is about 0.5 cm thick. Let cool for an hour. Cut into strips about 5 x 1 cm long (best is to vary the length of the strips just a bit). Fry at 190° Celsius until the strips are crisp. Mix in a bowl with salt, pepper and the juice of one lemon.

STARTER

KIN-DEE’s glass noodle salad

In Berlin, the corner Thai place has to be one thing for sure: cheap. On the face of it, that’s an okay imperative. However, we shouldn’t expect any explosive taste bud revelations from a 5 euro curry dish. Thus, with K I N D E E ’s arrival last spring in Berlin, we finally get the chance to celebrate authentic-modern and highquality Thai cuisine. The menu offers meals served “family style” on large platters, which means a variety of dishes shared by everyone at the table. Totally brilliant: The glass noodle salad, made by chef Dalad Kambhu with mushrooms in three different styles: fried, raw or ground up. It’s served with a dressing that’s also ideal for pickling radishes, daikon or other root vegetables! KIN DEE

Lützowstraße 81 10785 Berlin +49 30 2155294

Put vinegar, salt and a pinch of sugar into a cup or glass along with onions cut into small cubes. Add fresh mint and chopped chili peppers. Mix well. Fold in glass noodles.

MAIN DISH

KANAAN’s Humshuka

Point well taken, a hearty German winter meal can soothe the soul, although it is just during such gray days of winter that we may also yearn to escape to more southern climes by way of our taste buds. Because of this (and because Mary Scherpe is a vegetarian), you will not find a recipe here for the typical holiday roast. Instead, you’ll find one for a delicious combination of Palestinian hummus and Israeli shakshuka: humshuka! Those who’d rather have meals cooked for them instead of cooking themselves should by all means go and visit K A N A A N , since this is the exact place where this dish was invented. K A N A A N also offers cooking classes and has products such as spices and tahini for sale. It’s always a win to take a little trip and check it out! KANAAN

Kopenhagener Straße 17 10437 Berlin

HUMMUS 500 grams of dried chickpeas 200 grams of Kanaan’s tahini 2 tablespoons of lemon juice Salt Soak the chickpeas in water for at least ten hours. Then rinse and cook for four hours. When the chickpeas are soft (secret tip: see if they stick to the wall), mash them into a fine yellow paste. Add tahini and lemon juice, salt as desired and again mash to form a homogenous paste.

FOOD & DR I N KS

SHAKSHUKA 950 ml regular oil 950 ml olive oil 1 onion garlic 1 red, 1 green and 1 yellow pepper 1 tablespoon of hot paprika powder 1 tablespoon of hot, Moroccan chili powder 1 tablespoon of black pepper salt 4 ripe, sweet tomatoes 4 eggs

Cut onion and peppers into thin strips. Peel tomatoes and cut into cubes. Mix olive oil with regular oil and heat in non-stick pan or pot. Sauté onion. Add salt and fry onions for 15 more minutes. Stir constantly. Raise heat and add pepper strips. When strips are soft, add all spices. Then add tomato cubes and let everything simmer for another 20 minutes at low heat. Now let four raw eggs slip gently into the sauce and grill in pan inside oven for ten minutes. Switch oven or convection oven to 200° Celsius. When serving, spread hummus on plates and then place shakshuka on top right in the center.

DESSERT

BICHOU’s Tarte Tatin Mary Scherpe is a self-confessed dessert fanatic. That’s why, for her, every meal means: The best is saved for last. B I C H O U , a charming bistro in Neukölln, offers a different lunch menu every week with a small selection of quiches, salads and a soup. As luck would have it, the two desserts usually include the tarte Tatin as an option. Freshly baked, the warm, caramelized apple tart has the potential to be acutely addictive. BICHOU

Schönstedtstraße 14 12043 Berlin +49 157 35189256

B I C H O U ’s tip: When making a tarte Tatin, always use apples that are tart, such as a Belle de Boskoop, so as to create a nice contrast to the caramel.

Definitely try what’s probably the best tiramisu in Berlin. This truly genuine insider tip out of Kreuzberg does not only constitute a culinary highlight; its purist design also serves to visually distinguish Karloff Lokalino from run-of-the-mill Italian corner restaurants – and it does so in the most pleasant of manners. Italian | Reichenberger Str. 152, Berlin-Kreuzberg N I G H T K I T C H E N So-called gastropubs – bars where food is not just a side dish but rather served as a culinary delicacy – are by now de rigueur components of the New York and London restaurant scene. With Night Kitchen, Berlin, too, has now acquired a suitable equivalent. Cooks in its open show kitchen create Mediterranean dishes that have no trouble matching the exciting and excellent in-house cocktail creations on the level of palate technē.

Alte Milch

G Ä R T N E R E I Berlin’s gastronomical scene has become even greener! At “gärtnerei” (nursery), health-conscious sister to gourmet restaurant “fleischerei” (butcher shop), the focus is on light vegetarian and vegan fare. The vegetable and salad dishes created by Sebastian Radtke (awarded 14 Gault Millau points for his achievements at Eins44 Restaurant) are so sophisticated that it is easy to do without meat and fish altogether. Even so, the restaurant does serve a small selection of fish and poultry dishes for those who remain firm anti-vegetarians. Focus is vegetarian | Torstr. 179, Berlin-Mitte | Tel. 0160- 96423834

A LT E M I L C H Curated cheese – the concept behind Alte Milch is as simple as it is brilliant. Matthias Becker, the person behind this idea takes his time when it comes to finding his treasures and even visits the people who make them, and that pays off. The selection includes an absolutely sensational Comté Réservation from the French Jura region as well as a mountain cheese washed with white wine. Thursday evenings are grilled cheese sandwich night at Alte Milch – part of Streetfood Thursdays at Markthalle Neun – and calories aren’t the only thing that make them bombastic.

But the bar inside the gourmet temple is also something to be proud of.

CURRYWURST

THE BEST IN TOWN

What schnitzel is for Vienna, currywurst is for Berlin – a true original that isn’t just eaten for breakfast! Legend has it that the currywurst was invented in Berlin by Herta Heuwer on September 4, 1949. Locals eat it at all times of the day and night – preferably Berlin style without the skin. A currywurst with a bottle of beer is currently all the rage internationally where it’s being touted as the Berlin breakfast. It goes without saying that currywurst isn’t necessarily currywurst, so here are the best in the city:

Retail trade: market rising Fashion business: market falling It’s a paradox. Germany is experiencing an economic boom rarely before seen. The economy is humming. Business activity is not just profiting from exports. Domestic demand, as well, has deve loped into a major economic linchpin. Employment numbers are at a record high; interest rates are super low; and consumer demand is thriving accord ingly. For about 8 years now, the German retail trade has been registering turnover gains: From 2009 through 2016, turn over has increased by more than 20 percent. As per Germany’s trade associ ation HDE, there should be another 3 percent increase in 2017.

The ensuing impov erishment of product lines and goods will surely not pique consumer interest either. Cautionary appeals to the industry, though, are a dime a dozen. Price wars are a symptom of a market that’s glutted. They will only stop when demand and supply are back in sync. No such thing is in sight, though, at this time. On the contrary: Digitization will only further exacerbate competition.

The rapid rise of the online channel propelled brick-and-mortar businesses into a crisis concerning their own legitimacy. What kind of surplus value do shops have to offer, if the web can offer a larger selection of products, lower prices and a more comfortable delivery option? Finding a convincing answer to this ques tion, that’s the great strategic challenge for retail in the coming years – next to the task of making good use of the opportuni ties proffered by digital tools with respect to business organization and processes. More than any other, the fashion business has the chance – but also the responsi bility – to adjust to a changing market in a new way, again and again. It’s about shaping one’s own company’s business activity. With a clear concept that draws a line and distinguishes one’s own range of products and company image from the competition. With competitive cost structures and efficient tools that, in spite of everything, allow for profitable budg eting. And, finally, with creative marketing that energizes customers and stimulates demand. There are, after all, many more possibilities than simply cutting costs.
