Dear Readers,

welcome to what is now the seventh edition of PA N O R A M A BERLIN. PAN O RAMA B E R LI N – the Euro­ pean marketplace for leading fashion brands – was launched exactly three years ago and was initially located far outside of Berlin in the ExpoCity Airport exhibition halls at the capital’s imaginary BER airport. Six seasons and one move later, incredulous headshaking has been transformed into affirmative nods and one of the most visited fashion trade shows in Europe was born. Since summer 2014, Panorama Berlin has been located on the inner-city grounds of ​​ Messe Berlin and has grown steadily from season to season to its current 42,500 square meters of exhibition space, spread over 10 halls. For the Fall/Winter 2016/2017 Season, we have once again undertaken much to further develop PA N O R A M A B E R L I N : We have reorganized the way we present our brand portfolio in our regular halls. In the newly established Hall 8, we have created

an area exclusively for footwear and accessories. With Pop Mart in Hall 5, we have created a segment for young fashion and, with Now in Hall 6, an area for collections that can be ordered immediately. With Hall 9, which is also new, we have given our trend lab, N O V A C O N C E P T , 7,500 square meters of space for inspiration and innovation. In addition to trendsetting collections, N O V A C O N C E P T is where we show select nontextiles – lifestyle products that are not only fun but fit into the context of the contemporary fashion trade. As if that were not enough, with the Fall/Winter 2016/2017 Season, we are starting what will probably be our most ambitious project: PA N O R A M A B E R L I N Digital – realistically broadcasting the trade show online on a one-toone basis – the world’s first virtual fashion show. So, three or six trade show days are turning into a 365 day, around the clock, event. A fashion show does not get any more sustainable and international than that. I wish you three exciting and inspiring days at Panorama Berlin and lots of fun when you can pay us a virtual visit online.

Sincerely, Jörg Wichmann

„Who doesn’t keep up with the times

Panorama Berlin |

D I G I TA L

will vanish in time“ PA N O R A M A B E R LI N G O E S D I G I TA L

Digitalization has arrived in our society. This season, PA N O R A M A B E R L I N launches a worldwide novelty – PA N O R A M A D I G I TA L , the first global virtual fashion trade show – and thus takes a trailblazing step into the future. The extension of PA N O R A M A B E R L I N ’ S ‘physical’ trade show into the World Wide Web is not just an absolutely logical next step in terms of its presentation on the market. Rather, it takes account of the increasing globalization of markets and thereby heeds the desire of many brands to establish themselves more internationally, to build global relationships and discover new retail opportunities. PA N O R A M A D I G I TA L expands upon the traditional model of the fashion trade show and creates an attractive proposition that will benefit exhibiting sellers and buyers all over the world.

Jörg Wichmann, CEO of Panorama Berlin, explains below where the digital journey will take us and why we need exhibitors as well as buyers at PA N O R A M A D I G I TA L . Europe’s most successful fashion show is going digital. Why?

J.W.: We believe that, in view of the globalization of fashion, the time has come to digitalize the very show that exhibits these fashions. Our customers are companies with a strong market performance that have already firmly established or are in the process of establishing their international presence. PA N O R A M A D I G I TA L contributes to that effort by creating a network that connects the global scene of fashion buyers to our strong portfolio of brands.


Panorama Berlin |

We conceive of digitalization not as an enemy, but a friend. In order to make it our friend, though, we need to allow for the emergence of emotional worlds or to create an emotional experience. With PA N O R A M A D I G I TA L , we are creating such a world of experience within which visitors can explore, move around and discover fashion all on their own. Trade journalists have already begun writing about a potential revolution of the trade show phenomenon.

J.W.: Quoting freely from Darwin: ‘It is not the strongest and most intelligent who survive but those, who are most ready to change themselves.’ Only those who offer innovation and who keep a finger on the pulse of current events will be able to convince their partners – our exhibitors and trade visi­tors – and will be able to turn the event into something attractive and exciting.

We shall see whether this will result in a revolution. The possibilities implicit in PA N O R A M A D I G I TA L are so all-encompassing and so manifold that we believe that this project may also be interesting to other trade shows. We conceive of it as a strong innovation and we will do our best to turn it into a revolution. Who are the visitors that Panorama Digital will seek to address? How will they be reached?

J.W.: For us it is of primary importance to reach those buyers our brands want to target. That’s why in this period of pre-season planning we have tried hard to enter into a dialog with our exhibiting partners and to ask which target markets are interesting to them. In these past few months, we have worked to refine our definitions of these markets and then we started to contact them. We talked to retail trade associations and retail sellers and presented the virtual trade show to them. The response was enthusiastic and full of great expectations.

D I G I TA L

We want to collaborate with our brands and try, step by step, to develop our international markets more strongly by using our unique virtual calling card and thus to create new business opportunities for our brands. Using this virtual tool, we can reach markets that would normally remain closed to us. Our brands would usually pay a lot of money to discover on their own whether, for example, Argentina, Brazil or, more generally speaking, a certain remote market would be a good fit for them. With our virtual tool we can take these first steps on behalf of our brands, lower some barriers and reduce their risks.

Panorama Berlin |

D I G I TA L

What are some of the early responses on the part of exhibitors?

J.W.: Exhibitors have consistently given us positive feedback. They understand very clearly that this project presents great opportunities to them. They can expand their brands’ marketing presence from three days to up to 180 days. And many of our exhibiting partners, or even all of them, are very excited to see how this project will be received nationally and internationally. Critics fear that conventional trade show visitors could some day get up and wander off into the net. What do you think about that?

J.W.: Every innovation naturally has its critics. But if you talk to these critics, you’ll find that you both agree that the most important thing in any business and especially fashion is to create trust in the product or trust in the brand. Personal contact only

strengthens this trust. Our event offers the excellent opportunity not just to meet the brand representatives but also the entrepreneurs who will be on site for three days to give speeches and answer any questions. Last but not least, what counts in fashion is also the feel of the product and that’s a significant selling point that can decide whether someone wants to buy it. Even if I already know the product, it’s still important for me to experience the colors, textile materiality and live designs for real, by touching the actual product. However, this does nothing to degrade the digital trade show since these two are not mutually exclusive. The physical visitor may just as well also be a digital visitor and vice versa. As reported in a recent study conducted by the trade journal TextilWirtschaft (TW): 90% of retailers say that they need trade shows as platforms for exchange, so they can talk to companies and explore what’s new. In light of this study we strongly expect our visitorship to increase rather than shrink.

As for medium- or long-term projections: Where are you off to? What are the possibilities for the future that Panorama Digital opens up?

J.W.: The entire ‘ PA N O R A M A D I G I TA L ’ project is geared towards the long-term. We think it’s important to present a good beta version in January that can convey our current excitement for this new project and that can demonstrate its future potential. Like any new product, PA N O R A M A D I G I TA L is bound to have some flaws and potential for further optimization. We will surely get some exciting suggestions from our exhibiting partners as well as trade visitors. What kind of additional features could be integrated in the future, such as a chat function and direct interactivity – we will discuss all these and then implement them by integrating them successively into subsequent events. It is our goal to transfer the physical experience of the trade show into the digital environment and to create a platform for people who are able to work with it successfully.

For the Danish label I C H I , Nordic Nature is the motto for the Fall/Winter 2016 collection. The collection’s impressive name clearly resonates on two levels. Firstly, natural materials like wool aren’t just used for sweaters but also for cozy coats. On the other hand, one can clearly see that Nordic nature was the source of inspiration for the coming season. A special highlight: the amazing flower prints on dresses, skirts and shirts.

Danish fashion is as popular as ever. No wonder, the designs are always casual and it goes without saying that various styles are combined. With its playful, elegant, but cool new romantic looks, the young label R U E D E F E M M E is now also conquering the German market. Recently founded in June 2014, R U E D E F E M M E once again shows that extremely welldesigned everyday apparel has only one origin: Scandinavia.

Rue de Femme Soaked in Luxury

is about affordable luxury for glamour addicts. Founded in 2006 in the Danish capital of Copenhagen, the fashion label does not serve up the familiar cliché of purist Scandinavian fashion. Inspired by the 70s, the Fall/Winter 2016/2017 collection features folkinspired prints and a pink bomber jacket paired with glitter pants, showing the way that S O A K E D I N L U X U R Y creates feminine, going-out looks that are totally appropriate for parties. S OA K E D I N L U X U RY

Nör

is a family-run fashion company from Denmark. Meanwhile, the Danish designer brand, especially thanks to its plus-size label N+, is well known far beyond the borders of Denmark. The style of the two brands N Ö R and N+ ranges from timeless and wearable to extravagant and avant-garde, which is also reflected in the retro-inspired Fall/Winter 2016/2017 collection with its feminine silhouettes and print details.

Expresso

celebrates the coming fall and winter by calling on all of its various facets. Expressive colors and patterns appear in the collection as much as calmer and reserved designs. Distinctive details in the current collection include fine leather sequins, metallic coatings, blouses with balloon sleeves and dramatic camouflage prints. All in all, E X P R E S S O offers four sub-collections with different delivery dates in July and August. EXPRESSO

Inwear I N W E A R has created its very own definition of femininity. All the collections of this Scandinavian label have one thing in common: They express an undeniable joie de vivre. The modern elegance of its designs makes I N W E A R a premier choice for confident, urban-identified women who know exactly what they want. Its Fall/ Winter 2016 collection convinces with classic cuts that, in part, are inspired by men’s fashions, while the details informing its designs always manage to project a radiant, sensual femininity.

ALWAYS

FULL THROTTLE! When Raf Simons and Dior announced the designer’s resignation at the end of October, the news spread across the web faster than any other story from the world of fashion. First, there were proclamations on Instagram and Twitter, followed by early attempts at interpretation posted on blogs and newspaper pages. All of that happened within the first few hours. Those who logged in for only a moment might have gotten the impression that Raf had just died – and fashion along with him. An entire line of industry was facing burnout – so went the rumor.

This rumor spread like a wildfire so that during the following few days even the super critics of fashion were convinced that the end of fashion was nigh. “Fashion on the brink,” wrote Vogue writer Sarah Mower. Suzy Menke’s title ran: “Why fashion is crashing.” And trend forecaster Li Edelkoort had already announced at the beginning of the year: “Fashion as we know it is dead.” That’s a whole lot of apocalypse for a line of industry that is supposed to conjure up a new, golden future for every new season.

FAS H I O N I N C R I S I S : R A F S I M O N S’ S P E C TA C U L A R D E P A R T U R E F R O M D I OR I S A SY M P TO M OF TH E C U R R EN T WO R L D O F FAS H I O N WHERE E VERY TH ING HAS TO GO FAST ER A N D FAST ER . Who’s to blame for all these dire prognoses? It’s the Internet, of course, as usual. It’s the web after all that’s heating up the fashion industry with its haul videos and Instagrams, its young women proudly flaunting their trophy catches from shopping forays and its bloggers who are always outfitted with the most recent designs gifted to them for marketing purposes. Fashion shows these days have to be staged with such spectacular opulence that social media transform them into instant spectacles posted thousands of times, liked ten thousands of times and reaching millions of online viewers. There are too many shows, collections, events – too much fashion.

It’s a fact that the fashion system has gathered speed since the early 2000s. All of a sudden what has long been considered the M.O. of the fast fashion market now was to be true as well for high-quality designer fashion: Go get something new into stores every 8 weeks! Inter-seasonal collections, that’s what they’re called – and by now they’re selling pretty well. While previous regular profits were extracted from diversified collections, current profits are to experience growth by the manifold per every single item. The result: These days it’s managers of the food, automobile or consumer goods industries who manage the ready-to-wear lines. And the designers? They are employees facing ever more stringent deadlines to meet tougher and tougher targets, who still have one foot in the studio but both eyes fixed on the stock market.

Raf Simons was always critical of the fast fashion system. “I can’t deal with the high expectations in this business. With these blockbuster shows, the commercial designs, the grand concepts. But I don’t think this necessarily makes me a better designer. I don’t want to do any more collections that don’t allow me the time to think about them,” he explained in an interview with journalist Cathy Horn shortly prior to his exit from Dior. Just try to imagine this clearly: Two principal and inter-seasonal collections for the ready-to-wear shops, two for the haute couture and for each of these all requisite accessories, interviews and shows: That’s what Simons had to weather – including his own men’s fashion brand. All he had were 3 to 5 weeks for each collection.

Once a time-honored symbol for time and longevity, venerable high fashion has now arrived where other lines of industry have long ago pitched their tent: in total frenzy. Those who don’t care about fashion would never suspect how many posts and news items pop up and get chased every day all over the web – about Beyoncé’s outfits, the new Céline handbag or Riccardo Tisci (the Givenchy designerin-chief) vacationing on Ibiza. Fashion has become a new genre of the entertainment industry. Fashion is pop. And that’s how people have come to consume it. Nowadays we don’t shop because we have a material need for something. Rather, we shop because we want to be stimulated and get satisfaction. Of course, this has to happen fast and now – those who use digital channels after all no longer know anything else. “Instant gratification” – that’s what experts call this phenomenon, the immediate fulfillment of your desires. Already our closets are so full of jackets, trousers and dresses they’re bursting at the seams. According to a survey conducted by the environmental organization Greenpeace, there are close to 5.2 billion items of clothing that are stowed away in German drawers and closets. Around 40 percent of these will rarely be worn, or never. What does that do to fashion in the future?

“Clothes are being used and discarded like condoms,” is how trend guru Li Edelkoort soberly sums up the situation. She goes on to state that the culture of fashion has been lost and that, in any case, the last time she saw a new, revolutionary silhouette able to change how we move, how we stand, and – most important – how we are in the world, that time was when Azzedine Alaïa showed his stuff. And that was over twenty years ago. It seems that the slogan for success these days touts reproducibility and not creativity in a line driven by marketing, higher dividends and everearlier delivery dates. The trick seems to be to first reinterpret those pieces that confirm and solidify the DNA of a brand, then restock items that were last season’s best-sellers, then sprinkle in a few trending pieces – and done. Innovation is the last resort. For designers this means that they will have to make a choice. Do they want to be the head of a big team of creatives while managing a complex supply chain and directing advertising campaigns on the side? Or do they want focus on design, clients and the craft? To do both is no longer possible in the era of globally active fashion houses. Even Alber Elbaz, who was ousted from his spot as designer-in-chief at Lanvin’s only 6 days after Simons’ exit, concurs: “We started out as couturiers, full of dreams, values, feelings. Then we became creative directors and managers. Today we are in charge of image and to make sure that the pictures look good.” It is only Alessandro Michele, Gucci’s new designer-in-chief, whose approach seems to show a way out of this current dilemma. The creative director (“Quality is the way out”) designs collections wherein no part resembles any other part. The idea of sustainability comes into it as well. It’s the hallmark of a unique position that should be expanded upon.

Down to earth & up to date: For more than 20 years, Z A B A I O N E has stood for down-to-earth but stylish fashions in contemporary feel-good styles. The brand found its name in a Paris cafe called “Zabaglione” and its first collection was also created in Paris. Nowadays, though, its staff develops their new collections at the brand’s headquarters in Crailsheim. And because of their extremely brief lead time, these collections are always super current, since all of the brand’s 700 shops are, on average, supplied with new merchandise every week.

As a special highlight, each collection has a lining designed specifically for S U R I F R E Y , which surprises every season with its new arty design and colors.

The key looks in C R E A M ’ S new Fall/Winter 2016/2017 collection include balloon-sleeve blouses and jersey pants with a low crotch, combined with masculine suede shoes. Dresses are rounded off with jewelry from the C R E A M Deluxe accessories line and – combined with boots and capes – define the collection’s overall look. C R E A M presents another key look: a selection of cravat blouses and flared pants. Things start to look romantic when a flounce-sleeve blouse is worn under an overall-style dress. C R E A M shows the trendy trench-coat look with a cozy scarf, flared jeans, and sneakers with suede details.

And the Danes know just what it takes: the right fit, the right wash, the right details. And a great passion for blue fabric – hardly a fashion season goes by without it.

CINQUE TO F U S E T H E I TA L I A N S E N S E O F C A S UA L N E S S WITH THE G E R M A N D OW N TO - E A R T H AT T I T U D E : T H AT WA S T H E V I S I O N THE FOUNDER OF THE L ABEL CINQUE HAD SOME 30 YE ARS AG O. T H E L A B E L C O N T I N U E S TO REMAIN TRUE TO T H I S V I S I O N , WHICH CAN CAN BE SEEN IN THE NEW FA L L / W I N T E R 2016 / 2017 C O L L EC T I O N .

CASUAL, NOT FORMLESS What can we say: There are simply many clichés in life. For example, that Germans have a more functional and down-to-earth style, but Italians have a sense of color, beauty and elegance – or, in other words, Germans put clothes on to get dressed, but Italians cut a “bella figura.” That just sounds a lot more elegant than to cut “a good figure.” A few things have changed in German pedestrian zones and offices. Comfortable shoes, windbreakers and jeans are no longer the only main examples of German style. For this change, fashion-conscious Germans are largely indebted to those labels that recognized early on that passion and coolness in fashion are also conceivable in Germany. CINQUE from Mönchen­ gladbach is one of these brands. For over 30 years, CINQUE has focused on merging Italian flair with German quality standards. It is committed to showing that even casual clothing “made in Germany” can look elegant and be comfortable at the same time, and that business

fashion can be serious, but nonetheless relaxed and casual – the goal was to prove this. The company was born in Cinque Terre, Italy. Inspired by the Mediterranean environment and the casual Italian lifestyle, C I N Q U E quickly evolved into a progressive fashion label in the modern men’s and women’s premium segments from the very start. The label still remains true to the essence of the Italian lifestyle: inwardly passionate and emotional, outwardly always well dressed and casual. The designer label has delighted shoppers from the beginning with its casual fashion and varied collections. Simple cuts fuse with subtle details in a way that is always stunning. In addition, precise workmanship and high quality play a crucial role for C I N Q U E ’s designers. The collections are designed at the label’s headquarters in Mönchen­ gladbach. The design team develops two main and two interim collections every year.


xx | In addition, C I N Q U E offers the never-out-of-stock program “9 to 5.” This consists of smart wardrobe essentials for the modern businesswoman and businessman in a modular system. The seasonal collections also always feature the classic item: the suit, which at C I N Q U E delights with a timeless look and understated elegance. This describes the lounge suit in the upcoming Fall/Winter 2016/2017 collection: a double-breasted jacket with casual pleated pants that have lots of volume; worn with a bright yellow turtleneck, a new dynamic is introduced to the fashion world. The clean, oversized, wool, snapbutton coat in a subtle checker pattern also looks relaxed and laidback when worn with the glen check jersey suit. Moreover, the suit looks great with the season’s favorite sweater: a black turtleneck. “Urban Utility” and “HY.B.BRID” is the motto for the sportswear and activewear. New accents include welded seams and using a mixture of materials; this can be seen in the utility jacket or in the wool caban jacket with modern down elements. An important detail for cold days is a new loop neck warmer with a zipper. The men‘s collection is complemented with matching accessories for urban nomads: Vegetable cowhide bags with exciting silhouettes are fashionable eye-catchers and the season’s highlight. On the other hand, boots, cap-toe lace-up shoes and Budapesters look minimalistic and underline the sober look of the sportswear in Fall/Winter 2016/2017.

The C I N Q U E women’s collection isn’t quite as minimalistic. In the upcoming season, folk and boho influences from the 60s and 70s meet classical elegance – all according to the motto “opposites attract.” You see this, for example, in the bootcut-style jeans that are combined with cravat blouses or in the military coats that are worn over bohemian dresses. There’s a strong focus on blouses and dresses, and they are suitable for everyday wear – especially with their flowing, lightweight fabrics. On the other hand, the trendy fun factor in the Fall/ Winter 2016/2017 collection comes from crazy fake fur that complements the chic Patti Smith look. Hip mini bags with chain elements in the important basic color black are the perfect addition to the dark romantic look. Moreover, classic, elegant suede bucket bags with fashionable patchwork designs add nonchalance to the collection. In terms of shoes, authentic casual styles such as Chelsea boots and high-leg boots underscore the new feminine line. A surprising look, but with wearable highlights: That is what C I N Q U E is presenting in the Fall/ Winter 2016/2017. As if one could expect anything else from a fashion label that has always united Italian passion and German functionality.

Freaky Nation There’s a special recipe for brands that seek to stay forever young – and F R E A K Y N AT I O N has perfected it: Always invent yourself anew! No collection of this label specializing in leather jackets resembles another, and yet, it abides by clear guidelines that we can recognize as each new season comes around. Coolness, authenticity and individuality have thus become trademarks for F R E A K Y N AT I O N . Starring actress Sophia Thomalla, its 2016 Fall Collection was impressively staged in a quarry.

In the Autumn/Winter 2016/2017 collection dresses both the lumbersexual masculine guy and the modern sporty man with a wide range of contemporary items. Tweedy mélange fabrics, brushed checks, leather details, sporty tech fabric, 3D paddings and pixelated photo-prints are some of the key words in the new collection. And even if you choose the parka-coat and chunky knit or the dull/shiny tech jacket and the folio printed T-shirt, you still wear it together with the B L E N D jeans in your favourite fit! BLEND

Their repertoire includes jeans in super skinny and super slim looks, as well as highwaisted jeans that were already fashionable in the 1980s and – together with flared jeans – are making a fashion comeback. One of the highlights of the winter collection is the coated denim, which, with special fabric treatments, gives rise to completely new and innovative looks. These include jeans in sprayed optics, oil dye washes and models in a slightly destroyed look.

Its portfolio now also includes a credit card holder. A highlight among materials, “2D” is convincing due to its two-tone optics. As for shoes, the Hannover label bets on Boho Chic as well as new shapes for shoe lasts and new materials.

On Heroes & Monsters in the Food Industry by A N D R E S DA M M

TO G L U T E N O R N O T TO GLUTEN

When it comes to popularity ratings, gluten protein ranks somewhere between ISIS and investment bankers in the Western world. But what foodstuffs are actually bad for you? And what is hype invented by the food industry, which uses targeted marketing strategies to elevate some foods to so-called superfood status while discrediting others for containing “ingredients non grata”? Recently in New York: My friend Nicole, who has lived in the US for over five years, told me with firm conviction that she was no longer doing the gluten-free thing. Frankly, I was thrilled. The countertrend to the trend was born. Again, leave it to the New Yorkers to do it before anyone else. While we’re still really into poking around in our quinoa bowls in Berlin (or, let’s say we look like we’re still really into it), it seems that mashed potatoes, spaghetti and baguettes are making a comeback in New York.

In Germany, we still seem to be far away from any gluten-revival revolution – and that in a country where bread baking is an art! The self-proclaimed “Lohas” are everywhere in Germany and their number is still on the rise. The German Duden dictionary defines a “Loha” as a “person with aboveaverage income, who tries to fuse consumption and enjoyment with environmental awareness.” It actually doesn’t sound all that bad, but the dictionary omitted two essential “Loha” traits! Flexibility and tolerance are actually foreign to your average “Loha”! And that’s where the problem begins. A waiter serving a cheese spaetzle noodle dish triggers looks of disgust. There are grumbles of disapproval when the Italian restaurant around the corner explains that the coconut panna cotta is made with cream and gelatin, and not with agar agar. And then there’s the even more hardcore zealots who flee and head right back to their Range Rover if the cafe offers nothing but whole and semi-skimmed milk or soymilk, but no almond milk for their flat white (the latte macchiato is so yesterday!).

TRUE HEROES

Of course, a story with a bad guy also has a hero or two. Kale for one, once known as ordinary green cabbage, is currently one of these heroes. Quinoa, goji berries and chia seeds are just some of the other heroes. There’s a whole coterie of over-the-top gourmet foods, so to speak! It’s an illustrious circle – but by no means a closed one. Depending on a product’s marketing budget and on which prominent supporters are backing it, this VIP club will gladly continue to accept new members. No one can say exactly when kale, the poor man’s vegetable, became a superfood delicacy, which, if one believes the vegetable’s fans, works real miracles in juices (of course, it must be cold pressed) or baked as chips, thereby justifying the price of €150 per kilogram in its processed form.

Antidote! The Acai berry is great for detoxing.

Among my friends, there are some who have actually changed their shopping habits for love for quinoa. After work, the magic fruit, which incidentally is not a grain, but a distant relative of spinach, is usually sold out at their grocery store in Prenzlauer Berg. So they started buying it on their way to work. What a blessing that all dairy products – ‘lactose’ being the operative taboo word here – are evil. That means your entire purchase can easily survive the workday without going bad. After all, most superfoods are dry products packed in vacuum-sealed bags, which also makes them ideal for online shopping. In addition to nutritional supplements for athletes and the usual weight loss helpers that shops like www.nu3.de already sell, these shops now also feature many superfoods for customers who aren’t interested in weight loss or musclebuilding, but simply want to improve their daily diet.

J U I C E S H O P ! N O LO N G E R A DI RTY WOR D...

The juice shops that are sprouting up everywhere are another byproduct of the superfood boom – true temples for “Lohas,” where the trinity worshipped is “vegan, organic, cold pressed.” Here, you’ll find yummy and notso-yummy veggie-juice combinations – although, personal taste aside, these cafes should be given due credit for their role as ambassadors for better nutrition. The “organic” and “natural” emerge from that old stuffy green-environmentalist scene; natural foods can now also be chic. That’s what allows mainstream consumers to lose their fear of trying out something new. And for sure, it’s not bad at all if vegan alternatives are more readily available and can thus be incorporated into one’s diet more easily. It’s also a good thing if stressed-out parents no longer think that fruit yogurt mini cups, milk slices and strawberry cheese are important vitamin sources and if they sometimes replace the “Kinder Riegel Chocolate Sticks” with an organic amaranth snack bar.

Anyone who has ever tried the vegan coconut yogurt at Cafe Daluma is highly likely to willingly forego quark dairy products in the future. All you lovely superfood fanatics, it is thus all the more important that you don’t ruin everything with your fanaticism. Don’t abuse the chia pudding and use it to differentiate yourself from the fast-food “precariat.” Let those of us who are occasional superfood connoisseurs live out our other eating habits without condemning us for it. Of course, broccoli is healthier than Billy Bear Sausage and goji berries are a better antioxidant than goulash soup, but sometimes I have to have – at least this is how it is with me – a pork knuckle. Please, please, my dear “Lohas,” let me indulge my live-and-let-live attitude. I’m not bothered by the fact that you spent decades enjoying meat, milk, cheese, wine and white flour without any problems and that you now celebrate fructose, lactose and gluten intolerance! But if you shoot strange looks at me and my schnitzel, then the main problem is a

completely different one – and it’s not diet-related intolerance. Your food fanaticism ruins my desire to eat healthy food, but I very much doubt that’s your intention. This plea for tolerance has become especially pertinent now that I’ve realized that not even New York can serve as a refuge for gluten fans. Because when my friend Nicole again raved on the phone about how well she was doing without a gluten-free diet, and I asked her about this in detail, it turned out that my good friend was experiencing a bit of language confusion and had mixed up the words gluten and gluten-free. She didn’t at all miss potatoes and pasta, adding that “Trader Joe’s now sells brown and white quinoa!” She concluded our conversation by asking me if I’m not totally disgusted by all these animals products – and I admit I eat too many of them. Well, New York is a city just like any other after all…

Another highlight is the extreme flexibility of new fabrics such as high-tech cotton, techno jersey and elastic neoprene.

The pants with a pajama look are also a real eye-catcher. This is also the case for 2016: M A R C A U R E L is pure zeitgeist – uncompromising, individual looks for authentic women.

Haute Cuisine for the Caviar, white truffles and royal jelly honey: Those are the finest of all ingredients, which gourmet chefs have always appreciated – so much so that they are willing to pay thousands of euros per kilo for them. Meanwhile, however, the precious Lucullan gems are no longer just at home in the best kitchens, but also in the world’s finest spas. Panorama visited some wellness temples that have transformed one-time culinary luxuries into beauty aids.

L . R A P H A E L S PA , N E W Y O R K : WHITE TRUFFLES

Ronit Raphael is no woman for compromise. When you speak with her, you quickly realize that the best is just good enough for her. So it’s hardly surprising that the most luxurious hotel in town, the Four Seasons, was selected as the location for her New York spa. The atmosphere is dignified and quiet. The architecture’s clean lines and subdued tones already provide the first form of support, helping you leave behind any stress from daily life. But the real highlight is still coming. Namely, in the form of a treatment given after a short relaxation session in the relaxation room. The so-called Oxyjet treatments are the pinnacle of all L.Raphael treatments. Oxygen is used to apply a serum of the active ingredient to the skin. The procedure helps deliver the active ingredient into deeper skin layers. The result is immediately visible.

L. Raphael fondly celebrates luxury, so the Oxy-Star Anti-Pigmentation Treatment with white truffles fits perfectly into the overall picture. The exclusive mushroom could almost be called a natural counterpart to the body’s own melanin, which is responsible for the formation of unsightly age spots. The white truffle extract works to leave your skin looking visibly more even-toned and fresher. In addition, the collagen mask applied next ensures that the ingredients have a rejuvenating and firming effect. In the summer, the oxygen creates a cool, highly refreshing breeze as it quickly shoots out of the nozzle. The cold air alone already has a huge effect, since it stimulates blood circulation. Not everyone likes the truffle’s particular smell, and since the delicacy’s

biggest fans probably appreciate the way it tastes, but don’t necessarily want to smell like it, the spa uses a completely odorless serum. Other L.Raphael spas, where you can enjoy high-speed white truffle skin treatments, are located in Geneva, Cannes, Gstaad and Milan.

The bee and Guerlain have an intense mutual history. Don’t forget that a stylized form of the insect even serves as the logo for the cult cosmetics brand. So it makes perfect sense that Guerlain has made the “abeille royale” – the honey the worker bees feed their queen bee – an ingredient in its creams and serums. In the Abeille Royale Expert Treatment, the luxurious honey is the dominant force in every step of the fight for beauty. After an intensive facial cleansing, where the pores are steamed open,

the skin is completely ready to receive a trilogy of different Abeille Royale products. First, the firming and lifting serum is applied, allowing the healing power of honey to help repair so-called ­m icro-tears in the skin. This is followed by a luxurious honey oil massage that works the ingredients more deeply into the facial skin. After a brief cooling mask, the treatment culminates with the application of special creams and serums to the face, eye area and neck. What a blessing that the royal ingredient is plant-based and free of any pesticides: That clearly makes this overdose of luxury 100% beneficial.

CLINIQUE LA PRAIRIE IN M O N T R E U X : CAV I A R

Caviar is and will remain a symbol of pure decadence! Strictly speaking, this will only continue to increase since sturgeon is overfished. The Swiss luxury cosmetics label La Prairie became world famous when it discovered that fish eggs are an effective anti-aging ingredient. At the company’s wellness spa, Clinique La Prairie in Montreux, you can – provided you have the necessary funds – have treatments tailored to your specific needs. The spa has won world’s best spa several times. Rather than rest on its laurels, Clinique La Prairie is dedicated to continuous innovation. Last year alone, more than 50 new treatments were created to do justice to every skin type and their specific needs. At Clinique La Prairie, the personalized wellness experience doesn’t end with the application of a cream or serum. The spa offers a complete package, including food and an exercise program.

Nevertheless, the classic treatment at La Prairie is and remains the facial with caviar. The fish eggs that have been blended into a thick cream are applied as a mask, which is then absorbed by the skin for about 10 minutes, where it stimulates cell metabolism in the skin’s deeper layers. The end result? You notice that irritations and swellings subside, especially around the delicate eye area, but after the treatment the whole face has a visibly fresher complexion!

Mr. Klauser, how does one find new brands?

Norbert Klauser: After having been in the fashion industry for so long, you end up with a lot of contacts, a network, and you’re known to a certain extent. People also put people in touch with one another; there’s an inner circle that talks about you. So the right thing finds the right person. We have personally selected most of the brands that we represent and serve. We have discovered new trends, some of them during extended stays in Italy and by watching the local market, brands where we immediately thought “OK, that could definitely fit into our portfolio,” and that’s what we set about looking for. What belongs together comes together. What does a collection have to have to survive on the Germanspeaking market?

Norbert Klauser: By now we’ve come to specialize in certain products. Each product has different strengths, can tell a different story. A collection can be a jewel – as regards quality and design, for example, or in terms of margin and calculation. It’s not one factor that makes it a jewel. Instead, there are different parameters for each area. We are specialists. We don’t talk about brands but about collections. What distinguishes one shirt collection from the next one? What’s the story behind it? Storytelling, that’s a buzzword at the moment. In fashion, that’s all we do for years. We are all storytellers

When do you know you’ve found a jewel?

Norbert Klauser: Well, some jewels start to shine and others just won’t! (laughs). Even if you think you’ve found a jewel, it won’t turn into one, because you often aren’t given enough time for it. True jewels only start to shine after three to five years. With some brands, the collaborative period already comes to an end after two years, if it hasn’t started to sparkle by then. Most jewels don’t get to shine at all! What are the criteria you use to evaluate new collections or products?

Norbert Klauser: Quality, price, performance, workmanship, diversification, delivery time, reliability, memorable features. Plus we always try to find the best contractors.

Specialist or complete collections: Which of these owns the future?

Specialists, definitely. The market is sick and tired of complete collections and brands, of all these concepts that are imposed on it. Why are “mom and pop” shops flourishing again on every corner after having been downright swallowed up by chain stores for years? Today, people are looking for things that are more individualistic again, more personal. That’s why specialist collections are the thing of the future, that extra spice that sets the standard for all the other grand collections, those vertical brands. Is the German-speaking fashion retailer brave enough when it comes to accepting new brands?

Norbert Klauser: No! People always talks about it a lot, but they don’t do it, because it’s really hard to separate yourself from brands that have defined you for years. You would have to get back your own personality and individuality, so you can stand out from the crowd – that’s hard work.

DISTR I B UTION

In your opinion, what does the future of the independent fashion retailer look like?

Norbert Klauser: Today, the independent fashion retailer’s best chance is in multi-branding.As I already mentioned, small labels will add that extra bit of spice. It’s the personal and the individualistic that makes you stand out from the crowd.Today, we can make calls using a computer and actually buy everything we need online. But when you step into a mom and pop shop or a small retailer, then you first have a little chat and consult with someone. Shopping becomes an experience, a pleasure that truly benefits both body and soul. It makes you feel good, gives you that “here I’m a human being once more” experience. If you buy something new today, then you would like to do something good for yourself. On the mass market, you can purchase things at low prices. You can win price wars and end up with the best Black Friday deal. Those are two completely different universes. Some buyers think that fashion trade shows are obsolete. What do you think of that?

Norbert Klauser: Well, after a certain period of time, everything dies out or wears out – every event, every city, every presentation. If a city hasn’t managed to put itself forward properly on its own, then the individual events suffer from the cities’ leadership or lack of leadership. In Berlin, the city never gave the events’ founders any regulations – about number, organization, the event’s core points – so the founders them-

KLAUSER is presenting the collections in a shop atmosphere. Why?

selves took the initiative. Sure, after having gone to Berlin three times, it gets boring after a certain point; the same applies to Düsseldorf. Everything that’s new is beautiful, and everything we are already familiar with is old and boring. But every season always has a beginning and an end. That’s why the events at the beginning of the season have a bigger advantage over those that take place mid-season. Berlin is always right at the start: it’s the season opener and mood setter. At the season’s start, everyone is open and ready for anything. Why did KLAUSER decide to present its brand portfolio on the new NOVA CONCEPT platform?

Norbert Klauser: I was a big fan and friend of Bread & Butter as far as the whole concept goes. We really appreciate the notions of scale and diversity as well as the message presented by N O V A C O N C E P T . Trendsetting fashion, emotional and inspiring worlds to experience, individuality and personality: With our presence at the event, that’s exactly what we want to communicate to interested retailers. We are pleased and very excited to be a part of N O V A C O N C E P T .

Norbert Klauser: We wanted to do something new for N O V A . We are presenting a shop, floor and corner concept. What could a shop look like? Or a segment in a shop with a brand portfolio? That’s why we aren’t presenting ourselves at the event as a single brand. Instead, we took over three spaces in different segments, in order to bring this idea closer to the retail market. Most retailers or buyers are only interested in brand concepts and spend €10,000– €50,000 on a single brand, because it’s too much work for them to invest €3000 or €5000 in products and individual collections. The shop atmosphere, in other words, diverse smaller collections presented in one total space, is supposed to make things easier for buyers and make the products appealing to them. What do you think about Berlin as a German fashion capital or fashion fair location?

Nobert Klauser: Berlin is Berlin. Period.

GLunch M A V I Hardly any denim brand focuses on wearing comfort for every type of figure as much as M A V I does. The Mediterranean brand has had its very own perspective on the denim world since the very beginning – influenced by its origins and the Mediterranean region. In the Fall/Winter 2016/2017 collection, the brand continues to place a lot of emphasis on optimal wearing comfort, whether in a retro look, a jogger fit, or in classic 5-pocket jeans. Cool prints or coatings in beautiful autumn colors also play a role. M I A S A Handcrafted in France, M I A S A saffron liqueur is currently the only one of its kind. It is created with exquisite products and refined with high-quality saffron of level 1 – factors that make it something very special. The composition is a lively interplay between sweet and floral aromas. In addition to a touch of lychee and sweet elderberry, the golden-yellow liqueur’s bouquet, above all, captivates us with a saffron nuance, which is flattering and playful yet without being intrusive. G L U N C H Jean and Jean, two friends who live and work in Hong Kong, had a very special idea one day when they were on a lunch break. The European-French lunch snack needs something just as brilliant as the Japanese bento box. And so they developed a kind of lunch box with compartments. Perfect for keeping the various lunch components separated, it thereby preserves maximum flavor. Thanks to the silicone soft touch surface and 16 refreshing colors, it’s now fun to take your own delicacies with you to the office, to school or on an excursion.

Trend Report |

F E AT U R E

„Good taste is so last season!“ TH E 70S TR EN D I S OV ER : WELC OM E BAC K , THE 80S !

The world of fashion is subject to cycles. Experts once said that every twenty years a fashion decade would resurface in current styles, with trends adapting accordingly. Today, when trends are more and more influenced by street styles, the rapid pace of the internet and bloggers, the trend-cycle we know is out of joint. We jump from decade to decade, from season to season. During the last three seasons the significance the 70s was acquiring became noticeable. It all was back, from velour and suede, to bell bottoms to fringes, the typical shades of yellow and orange, to the hair styles of the flipped out 70s, with the trend lasting until the end of 2015. Meanwhile the top designers from Paris, Milan, New York and London are already on the lookout. „The 80s are back!“ „Good taste is so last season!“ , as the saying goes. Because not a few people might be horrified at first by what comes next. The designers from the big catwalks are currently listening to a call from the late 80s to the early 90s. It was the time of popstar worship, Madonna was imitated, David Bowie was already a legend and Grace Jones, as well as Cyndi Lauper had their days in the sun as fashion icons. A world, excessive and extreme, full of bright glitter fabrics, shoulder padding and figure-flattering wrap dresses. And it’s all coming back, right now.

The first 80s trend reborns in today’s fashion vocabulary are already in the stores. Glittering Lurex threads are weaving through the clothing, tops and trousers. All conceivable sequins are twinkling at us, finding their way into the day-to-day wardrobe, be it a turtle neck sweater, a short tight skirt or a draped dress. Shoulder lines have heard the call for liberation, with straight-line, off the shoulder items, asymmetrical shoulder break-outs or cut-outs in the shoulder section. And please note: big logo shirts, for a long time in disrepute, have moved up to Must-Have status. The „Bowie-Style“ is currently being revamped for the catwalks in the 2010s in the interpretations of the wild combinations of Haider Ackermann, Alexander McQueen, as well as Isabel Marant. Layering pairing off with asymmetrical cuts, animal prints on strips and gleaming colors are backing down black. There are some remnants of the 70s trends and bell bottoms and embroidery can still be sighted.

Those who are appalled that we are going through a revival of bad taste should disembark now because the striking shoulder sections with matching slender waists are back, too. But shoulder padding is only being discretetly employed. Voluminous cuts enveloping the shoulders call for waist belts, giving the ensemble a casualness which doesn’t have that austere, hard look, as was actually the fashion in the 80s. After a palette of natural and yellow shades, we’re moving back to bold, bright and lush colors. Also in combination, but not color blocking, more a brighter, scintillating bird of paradise thing, as has been announced by Balmain already in Winter, 2015-16. A midstream in the 80s revival collection which hasn’t yet let go of the 70s influence. The perfect example of a trend in transition.

Some might ask, hey, why are we celebrating an 80s revival, and how can designers think up these trends to begin with? There are some answers at the Paris Fashion Fair „Who’s Next“, where various trend analysis experts may be found. The trend researchers Amélie Chabod and Bénédicte Fabien explained in a discussion with the online magazine „Modepilot“ that todays‘ trends originate mainly from the styles on the streets of the great cities. Summer collections are being mixed with the next trends for winter and the cruise collections because nowadays the shops are reacting much faster to the trends on the catwalks than five years ago. A completely new look is emerging, which is why designers are also going with the flow of the most diverse elements of the 70s along with elements of the 80s. In general the trend is less Big Trend in favor of a mix of many trends in an overall look. But today, as has been the case for the past few decades, politics and economics are still markers for what happens in fashion. Which is why we’ve been focussing on the 70s in the last few seasons. Crisis is on the prowl again as it was more than 40 years ago and one is looking for a way back to freedom, which back then meant wearing what one wanted to wear. That’s how fashion in this decade has become an echo of social criticism. So, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that at the end of the 70s we are finding our way to the 80s, when rebellion had arrived and one could do or not do what one wanted. Glamour, glitter and explosions of color are back, forget demarcations between masculine and feminine silhouettes and look out for body contoured cuts and lots of skin in the spirit of a love of extremes and a life of freedom beyond the meridian.

T H E S W E D E S A R E C O M I N G It’s clear that Scandinavian beauty brands have cool designs. But the ingredients are equally as impressive. Berlin’s leading beauty stores are also fans of the concentrated plant-powered products made by Swedish manufacturers. T R A N S D E R M A Highly concentrated and effective: That describes the cosmetics line by Sweden’s Dr. Alvin Ronlán. The product line consists of serums that are all antibacterial and anti-inflammatory. Our favorite, Transderma R Resveratrol Serum, is a vitamin C cocktail that evens out redness and strong pigmentation, and gives the skin an even tone. Serum Transderma R | €145 | MDC Cosmetic, Knaackstraße 26, Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg | www.mdc-cosmetic.de F A C E S T O C K H O L M With its clean design, Face Stockholm isn’t just a visual treat. The brand not only offers makeup made with natural ingredients, but skincare products that appeal to an international audience. With precious oils and vitamins, the unisex soap nourishes your skin and provides moisture for it – naturally without parabens and mineral oils. The founder, Gun Nowak, has created a brand that clearly captures the zeitgeist. Vitalizing Soap | 25 Euro | Departmentstore Quartier 206, Friedrichstraße 71, Berlin-Mitte | www.dsq206.com S A C H A J U A N The hairdressers Sacha Mitic and Juan Rosenlind have created a product line that really stands out. The moisturizing Body Wash, which smells of coriander and jasmine, turns showering into a spa ritual, leaving skin feeling silky smooth. The effective mineral-infused hair products, which round off the product range, smell just as good. Body Wash Spicy Citrus | €19 | Departmentstore Quartier 206, Friedrichstraße 71, Berlin-Mitte | www.dsq206.com L U X S I T Luxsit, the high-tech skin care brand among organic cosmetics, stands for high-quality, all natural, everyday luxury. As a result, the Organic Care line contains only the best native plants and ingredients – all from biodynamic farming. The power of plants is magical. Thanks to natural vitamin A from carrot seed oil, the facial mask – known by insiders as the “Cinderella mask” – gives you a healthy, radiant complexion in an instant. Magic Moisturizing Facial Mask | €55 | Wheadon, Steinstraße at the corner of Gormannstrasse, Berlin-Mitte | www.wheadon. de A G O N I S T Since 2008, the Swedish fragrance brand has collaborated with renowned perfumers and creates unisex fragrances made with natural ingredients. Creation No 10 reflects the freshness of Scandinavia, which is enriched with a touch of exotic ylang ylang flowers and white musk and is dedicated to perfume connoisseurs and lovers who appreciate special nuances. N° 10 White Oud | €125 |Belle Rebelle, Bleibtreustraße 42, Berlin-Charloittenburg | www.bellerebelle.de L : A B R U K E T The Swedish spa brand L : A B R U K E T was actually developed to meet the skincare needs of fishermen and sailors, but quickly became a fashionable, trendy label with its ethereal scents. The rich lip balm with beeswax, almond and coconut oil protects big city cowboys from cold easterly winds and soothes dry, irritated lips.

Surreal, avant-garde, and explicit are three keywords that are usually associated with Belgian fashion, which is internationally recognized. This exhibition catalogue provides a unique historic overview of the DNA of Belgian fashion, starting with the legendary Antwerp Six — including Dries V an Noten, Walter Van Beirendonck, and Ann Demeulemeester — and working up to the individualist creations of Martin Margiela, A.F. Vandevorst, and Raf Simons. The volume also highlights the works of several influential players in various fashion and art disciplines. It will also touch upon the importance of the fashion academies, especially the Antwerp Royal Academyof Fine Arts and La Cambre in Brussels. The publication would not be complete without emerging talents such as JeanPaul Lespagnard and Christian Wijnants. Hatje Cantz | 240 pp., 300 ills. | 24,80 x 31,80 cm | hardcover | ISBN 978-3-7757-4031-9 H E L M U T N E W T O N – P A G E S F R O M T H E G L O S S I E S Helmut Newton, master of late 20th-century fashion photography, always considered the printed page the most important factor in his work. It was, he explained, in the framework of an editorial or advertising commission, that he found his inspiration and produced his best shots. Joining the prestigious roster of TASCHEN’s Helmut Newton titles, this fresh edition of Pages from the Glossies gathers the most eminent and interesting examples of Helmut Newton’s work for magazines across Europe and the United States. Facsimiles of more than 500 original spreads from the likes of Elle, Amica, and, above all, Vogue follow Newton’s ongoing ability to break the boundaries of his genre and explore the interaction of his unique, daring, pictures with typography and layout. In lively personal anecdotes alongside the spreads, Newton talks through the inspirations and informal moments behind some of his most memorable images.

F R A N K H O R V A T – P L E A S E D O N ‘ T S M I L E A photograph by F R A N K H O R V A T always shows a very individual view. Shining in numerous genres, H O R V A T (*1928 in Abbazia, today’s Opatija, Croatia) likes to transgress boundaries, and he also does not care about the comme il faut in his fashion photographs either: as early as the fifties, he goes out onto the street, brazenly positions a model in the middle of a vegetable market (1959) for Jours de France, or shortly afterwards experiments with boldly cropped motifs or amusing film quotes. In doing so, H O R V A T mostly dispenses with artificial light and shoots many of his fantastic pictures with a 35mm Leica from the hip, so to speak. He works for Elle, Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and other major magazines, with famous models and celebrities, and he is the first photographer ever to use Photoshop for his work. Respect for the portrayed women and palpable endearment distinguish H O R V A T ’ S sensual, elegant pictures from those by all other photographers on the fashion scene.

„ I W A S A LW AY S LOO K I NG FOR INNER BE AUT Y A N D S T R U G G L E .“ Anton Corbijn

To act in the spotlight is often a masquerade, an elaborate facade, a carefully orchestrated show. So, photographs of musicians, artists and cultural icons are just images of the surface. Really? Not at all! Shimmering through the raw graininess, spontaneous blurring, and sharp contrasts of Anton Corbijn’s pictures are moments of deep vulnerability and personal closeness: fleeting, multifaceted, and endlessly fascinating nuances of intimacy. Over the last four decades, his portraits have defined the public image and visual identity of, mostly very well known, personalities. But how is it possible to create these instants of personal authenticity in the context of the culture industry, with its calculated idealization and self-marketing? For Anton Corbijn, more than any other photographer, the answer lies in developing close relationships with artists and sustaining them over long periods of time. He shoots out-doors and often the surroundings, minimal as they may be at times, play an important role in the final image.

The Botticelli Renaissance

Exhibition at Gemäldegalerie

T H E B O T T I C E L L I R E N A I S S A N C E The Florentine painter Sandro Botticelli (1445–1510) is considered to be one of the most prominent artists of the Renaissance. His paintings were reproduced and interpreted repeatedly, his motifs frequently captured and distorted. As independent, new works, they deviate from the originals in their own separate ways. They can differ so greatly from Botticelli’s pictures that the name of the painter can now represent fashion and lifestyle without his paintings ever being discussed, for example. Products are named after him, productions from popular culture follow his models and some of his figures – predominantly “Venus” – have become part of a universal visual memory. Until January 24. 2016 Kulturforum | Gemäldegalerie | Matthäikirchplatz, 10785 Berlin-Tiergarten | Tue – Fri 10 a.m. – 06 p.m., Thu 10 a.m.– 08 p.m., Sat & Sun 11 a.m. – 06 p.m. M A X B E C K M A N N A N D B E R L I N

As the Berlinische Galerie marks its fortieth anniversary, the exhibition Max Beckmann and Berlin will focus for the first time attention on the decisive role the city played in the artist’s work. The art historian Julius Meier-Graefe, a contemporary of Beckmann’s, succinctly summed up the relationship between the artist and the city in 1924: “Max Beckmann is the new Berlin.“ September 20. 2015 – February 15. 2016 | Berlinische Galerie | Alte Jakobstraße 124– 128, 10969 Berlin | Mi - Mo 10 a.m. – 06 p.m. |Admission: 10 Euro DANCING ON THE VOLCANO– THE BERLIN O F T H E T W E N T I E S A S R E ­F L E C T E D I N T H E A R T S is more than just the title of a Berlin film production from 1938. Dancing on the volcano also describes, as no other phrase can, the mood and social climate in the 1920s, particularly in the pulsating metropolis of Berlin. It was a tumultuous period between monarchy and dictatorship, between luxury and misery, between war and peace. Driven by the social and political upheaval of the Weimar Republic, it was also a period of diversity in every area of culture that is almost unparalleled in history, as the exhibition at the Ephraim-Palais shows. Until January 31. 2016 | Ephraim-Palais | Poststraße 16,10178 Berlin | Tue, Thu – Sun 10 a.m. – 06 p.m., Wed 12 p.m.– 08 p.m. | Admission: 6 Euro

The exhibition “Pages from the Glossies” offers us a new perspective on many of Helmut Newton’s iconic photographs. Spanning more than four decades, the images are presented as facsimiles of the original magazine pages in which they were first published, between 1956 and 1998. During this considerable length of time, Newton was regularly commissioned by publishers and editors from renowned magazines around the world to impart his version and vision of contemporary fashion. This continuity remained an exception in the otherwise fleeting fashion business. First published in the context of fashion editorials for the likes of Vogue, Elle, Queen, and Stern the Helmut Newton Foundation is presenting the first-ever exhibition of these single- and double-paged images featured in this book, exhibited as enlarged facsimiles. They include the original headlines, page numbers, commentary, and captions from the magazines they originally appeared in. This presentation remains true to its source, showcasing more than 230 magazine pages and nearly 500 individual pictures. Some of them have never before been exhibited. As published prints approved by Helmut Newton, they too are considered a legitimate part of his oeuvre.

Raseiniai is the name of a provincial town somewhere in Lithuania. It is also the focal point of Claire’s EP of the same name, where singer Josie-Claire Bürkle, keyboardists Matthias Hauck and Nepomuk Heller, guitarist Florian Kiermaier and drummer Fridolin Achten work through their rollercoaster ride of experiences the previous year: in September 2014, during the band’s tour of the UK, their tour bus containing all their equipment was stolen in London. The authorities in Britain had already given up hope of solving this case when Claire received an anonymous phone call the following December, followed soon after by an anonymous e-mail providing information on where the stolen objects were being kept. Shortly before Christmas, the gangsters’ hideaway in Raseiniai, Lithuania, was stormed by the police and most of the stolen items were recovered. “We decided soon after our bus and equipment were stolen to work through what had

happened in our music”, says frontwoman Josie with regard to Claire’s new EP. “We are extremely grateful to the nameless informant. He is our unknown hero, and we have dedicated the EP to him.” “Raseiniai” is vivid, atmospheric music that you can dance to or sit down and listen to, somewhere along the spectrum between a soundtrack score and club tunes. Claire have experimented and refined their distinctive sound here, which is a cross between electro and pop. Starting with the floating, technolike opener “What We Are Made Of ”, continuing with the bittersweet floor-filler “Calling Out”, the track “The Secret” that is stuffed with warm, analogue sounds, right through to the dramatically crackling downbeat of “Open Arms” – “Raseiniai” grabs its audience and takes them on a real road trip: out into the Lithuanian backwaters, into mafia-like networks, into a story of loving, of breaking out and of freedom.

“The story was just asking to be made into a film”, adds guitarist Florian Kiermaier. “And since we had always wanted to write a soundtrack, this was the perfect opportunity!” The result was a vivid mix of strong vibes and synthetically created high tension that is eventually released on the driving “Collider” and the striking love song “Stay With You”. “This song is about two people imagining the amazing things that could happen. The last night before setting out together on fresh adventures”, says keyboardist Nepomuk Heller. Later in the year, Claire will also be setting out on fresh adventures. The “Raseiniai” EP is Claire’s musical link between their well-received debut album “The Great Escape” and their second album, which will be released next year and is something that we can really look forward to.

Big Data or Gut Feeling?

256

It is this customer-centric approach governed by algorithms that structures the entire operation. That’s why an Amazon buying agent must first of all be an analyst. Product knowledge is not essential; trendspotting skills, personal tastes and styles have no business here. There is no point in discussing changing fashion silhouettes or the upcoming season’s color palette with Mr. or Ms. Customer. Instead, vendors are given detailed calculations on the performance of their products when an order is submitted. At least there’s some fun in matters of volume!

Are there any Amazon buying agents running around in Berlin these days? And if so, why? Do they rummage through all these collections on show at the various trade fairs happening all over the capital? Looking for new brands they can use to make money next winter? To chat about new ideas with vendors and other buyers? To get a feeling about what will be trending next? Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos, of course, won’t leave the fashion business, which is increasingly important for Amazon, up to the subjective judgment of his employees. Rather, the online giant approaches this business as he does all of his categories: with analytical, purely data-driven efficiency. The selection of goods, usually a critical function of retail, does not matter to Amazon. What Amazon wants is simply to make everything for sale available to the world. Selection is left to the customers. Suggestions for further buying are generated automatically by the search engine on the basis of customers’ previous buying behavior.

It is the ancient dream of merchants everywhere that Jeff Bezos seeks to fulfill: to minimize the risk factor of fashion in the business of fashion. Generations of retailers have labored to achieve that goal, though the days when the owners of boutiques wandered aimlessly among the displays at Igedo fashion fairs are thankfully dead and gone. Yet, none of these perfect merchandise management systems, ingenious limit planning strategies and allegedly foolproof forecasting tools have been able to prevent the following: that too much old stock merchandise is routinely left over and that write-offs have increased over the years. With the advent of digitalization, the retail market has finally acquired some entirely new tools, and these are not confined to pure-play e-retailers only but also impact the stationary retail business: RFID tags, beacons, apps, omnichannel CRM (customer relationship management) solutions, such as those currently being introduced by H&M, and so on. Since these technologies exist, they will be used.

Still, what remains a challenge is to take these enormous amounts of data generated by the market’s use of its new tools and to make them useful for decision-making processes. This is what big data prophets have promised. The critical question is: Can big data take the place of that gut feeling that has always distinguished the talented fashion retailer? Or will buying agents be reduced to mere suppliers? It is likely that the space where gut feelings used to make the decisions will shrink in the future. Influenced by the rise of digital media, the process for shaping opinions in the domain of fashion increasingly favors the consumer and becomes more quantifiable. However, we will still need the “truffle pigs” (fashion trend detectives!) as much as we do the creative designers, who with their fine antennae register and define changes in people’s ideas about styles and tastes. Fashion always originates in the small scheme of things, the niche, the few. In the beginning, all trends start out as small data. Once they become big data, they have become mainstream. On a playing field such as this, clothing retailers can do a lot of good business, and Amazon will surely make its mark among the premier players. True fashion retailers and fashion designers, however, should by then have already taken the next step forward.

An dieser algorithmengesteuerten Kundenzentrierung richtet sich die gesamte Organisation aus. Ein Amazon-Einkäufer muss daher in erster Linie Analyst sein. Warenkenntnis ist nicht entscheidend, für Trendgespür, Geschmack und Stil kein Platz. Es macht wenig Sinn, mit ihm oder ihr über den Silhouettenwandel und die Farben der kommenden Saison zu diskutieren. Dafür bekommen die Lieferanten bei der Order haarklein die Performance ihrer Produkte vorgerechnet. Wenigstens die Volumina machen Spaß.

Sind dieser Tage eigentlich auch Einkäufer von Amazon in Berlin unterwegs? Und wenn ja, wozu? Ob sie sich durch all die Kollektionen wühlen, die auf den diversen Messen in der Hauptstadt ausgestellt sind? Auf der Suche nach neuen Brands, mit denen sich im nächsten Winter das Geschäft machen lässt? Um sich mit Lieferanten und anderen Einkäufern über neue Themen auszutauschen? Um ein Gefühl dafür zu bekommen, wohin der Trend geht? Natürlich überlässt Jeff Bezos, Amazon-Gründer und CEO, ausgerechnet das für Amazon zunehmend wichtige Modegeschäft nicht dem subjektiven Urteil seiner Mitarbeiter. Der Online-Gigant geht dieses Geschäft vielmehr an wie alle seine Categories: mit analytischer, rein datenbasierter Effizienz. Die Selektion, die ja eine wesentliche Funktion von Einzelhandel ist, spielt bei Amazon ohnehin keine Rolle. Dort geht es schlicht darum, das gesamte Angebot der Welt verfügbar zu machen. Die Aus­ wahl bleibt den Kunden überlassen. Kaufanregungen generiert die „Findemaschine“ automatisch auf Basis des bisherigen Kaufverhaltens.

Es ist der alte Traum der Kaufleute, den Jeff Bezos sich erfüllen möchte: den Risikofaktor Mode im Modegeschäft zu minimieren. Daran haben sich Generationen von Einzelhändlern abgearbeitet, und die Zeiten, in denen Boutiquenbesitzer planlos über die Igedo trödelten, sind gottlob lange vorbei. All die perfekten Warenwirtschaftssysteme, ausgeklügelten Limitplanungen und vermeintlich sicheren Prognosetools haben indes nicht verhindern können, dass die Altwarenbestände regelmäßig zu groß und die Abschriften über die Jahre gestiegen sind. Mit der Digitalisierung bekommt der Handel nun völlig neue Instrumente an die Hand, und das betrifft beileibe nicht nur die Pure Player, sondern auch den stationären Retail: RFID-Tags, Beacons, Apps, Omnichannel-CRM-Lösungen, wie sie H&M gerade einführt, und so weiter. Weil es diese Technologien gibt, werden sie genutzt werden.

Die Herausforderung bleibt freilich, die riesigen Datenmengen, die der Handel damit generiert, für Entscheidungen nutzbar zu machen. Das ist das Versprechen der Big-Data-Propheten. Die große Frage ist: Kann Big-Data das Bauchgefühl ersetzen, das einen guten Modehändler seit jeher auszeichnet? Werden Einkäufer zum bloßen Beschaffer? Vermutlich wird es so kommen, dass der Spielraum für Bauchentscheidungen kleiner wird. Der modische Meinungsbildungsprozess verlagert sich durch die digitalen Medien immer mehr zu den Konsumenten hin und wird messbarer. Man wird die Trüffelschweine aber ebenso weiter brauchen wie die kreativen Designer, die veränderte Stil- und Geschmacksvorstellungen mit feinen Antennen registrieren und prägen. Mode beginnt immer im Kleinen, in der Nische, bei Wenigen. Trends sind erst mal Small Data. Wenn sie Big Data werden, sind sie Mainstream. Auf diesem Spielfeld können Bekleidungshändler gute Geschäfte machen, und Amazon wird dabei ganz vorne mitspielen. Wirkliche Modehändler und Modemacher sollten dann aber besser schon wieder einen Schritt weiter sein.
