SMALL TALK Vienna

Word. Editor. For those of you who know me and know how long it has taken me to come just this far... Don't quit. Never give up trying to build the world you can see, even if others can't see it. Listen to your drum and your drum only. It's the one that makes the sweetest sound.- Simon Sinek Small Talk Vienna aspires to be a visual display of craft and talent; the bespoke, the unique and the simple. I believe in sharing and showing true soul, nationally and internationally. My focus is on creating a platform for the incredible talents, creativity, innovation and sustainable consciousness emerging in Austria, and combining it with what we find, believe in and cherish, world wide.

Small talk would like to take you on journey of well kept secrets and sparkling stars. Over the last couple of years, Vienna has repeatedly be named as one of the top cities to live in, it is a fast growing and socially conscious hub. Not only in the creative field, but also in the world of technology. Austria is a top contender... and it goes without saying, its beauty is breath taking. I hope you enjoy this, our first journey of beauty, intelligent creativity and simple, yet powerful awareness, as much as I enjoyed putting it together. In this edition, our focus is on Children's Fashion.

Carrousel Speigelgasse 15 1010 VIENNA

ARROUSEL, The newly opened shop in the Speigegasse in Vienna´s elegant first district is a superb example of what is happening in Austria. Its creative and eclectic design are a visionary delight. Both the clothing and the interiors bring Viennas childrens clothes shopping experience on par with other major capital cities. Over the last three years Carrousel has introduced and provided Austrians with quality independent designs. Their goal was to bring in, the new and the stylish, of mainly French, Spanish and Italian designers. They are firm believers in the importance of where and what they allow onto their railings, combined with the quality and practicality of the product, and this they do with great rigor and dedication. No product enters the store unless it has passed the “feel” test. How does it feel in your hands? How does it feel on the child? and most importantly how does it feel on skin? With this simply but highly effective philosophy Carrousel has surpassed all expectations. Formely know as Carrousel Kids , Carrousel is run by two sisters, Cristina & Alexandrina. They opened their first store in 2012 in Wildprechtmarkt, a small, slightly out of the way Cul de Sac also in the first district. Initially catering to 0 - 12 year olds, now, through their success, and the envy of older siblings, Carrousel is expanding and extending their age range to include up to 16 year olds.

The new shop is a perfect mix of cool, calm and funk. Created by the architect and joiner Martin Aigner from “Handgedacht Wien - literally translated “hand thought Vienna” www.handgedacht.wien

THE LITTLE SHOEMAKER KEVIN ROWLEY ARTISAN, BRIGHTON ENLAND PHOTOGRAPHY Sarah Winborn

Name & Location: Kevin Rowley, owner & shoemaker at 'The Little Shoemaker' based in Brighton on the south coast of England. Brief intro into who you are? & what you do? The emphasis has been to find a way of returning to a more traditional way of producing shoes by hand. After having my first child a few years ago I found it almost impossible to find shoes that weren't mass produced in a factory on the other side of the world. It was at this point I decided to have a go at creating a few pairs of my own for my children, and that's quite simply how it all began. With a background in the footwear industry, 'Fine Art, and teaching, I wanted to make something that didn't have any mass produced elements to it at all. every part of the process is created by myself, from the design, to the stitching & lasting of the shoes. Absolutely everything including the packaging. I even screen print the tissue paper in my art studio. What would people be surprised to know about you? I think the amount of my involvement in the production of my shoes would certainly surprise most people. Every pair that arrive at someone's door serve as a memory of my efforts. Describe the last major change you made. Why did you do it? How did it work out? What did you learn? I've been looking at how to celebrate the simplicity of a design recently, & have designed & developed a range called 'Baby Bella'. The whole concept was to try and work a way of making a shoe from one single piece of shaped leather, in a way that celebrated the beauty of the leather itself. The result has been a very pleasant surprise! absolutely everyone loves them, which means more exiting times ahead as I continue it's development. How do you know when a work is finished? Truth is, I don't! I just can't help tinkering sometimes! But to be honest, it's a very nice situation to be in as I feel and watch as designs develop & morph from one idea to another. If you were the ruler of the world what laws would you make. I'd like to implement a law where everyone has to learn a traditional skill. It doesn't have to be a great skill, just enough to give everyone the knowledge of how it feels to 'make' something. Are you left or right handed? I am left handed. As a kid were you ever frightened of a monster under the bed or in the cupboard? I was afraid of the coats on the back of the bedroom door. In the dark they looked quite menacing! What song describes your work ethic? 'Jo Dolce' 'Shadap You Face' If you could be anyone else, who would it be? Laszlo Vass When day breaks, who fixes it? The amount of hours I work at night, there is no day break!

HILDA HENRI GOES INTO THE WILD.

SPRING / SUMMER 2016

Summer`s shimmering heat is the great opportunity to start a prowl, barefoot of course shoes are not needed - following tracks straight ahead towards the sun, cooling down in the shadow of enchanted places. Back from this trip, shining eyes and dusty feet, telling stories about thrilling things encountered on the way. A period full of promises. What adventures will this summer bring? Inspired by the magic of nature, shimmering flowers, dreamlike butterflies, peacocks and birds of paradise. Also longing to catch this special mood, like on a jungle trip: not knowing what comes next just around the corner.

Following this spirit the new summer line contains many surprises as well. The result is a colourful range, with an expressive, yet subtle artistic touch.

The original idea behind NOAN was to give support to socially and economically disadvantaged children. The resulting concept for a social enterprise eventually grew out of a desire to give children, through education, the chance of a better and more secure future. It has the added advantage of promoting fair trade and sustainable business practices. Our future-oriented business concept: through the transfer of know-how, and by paying fair prices to the farmers in our source countries, we can guarantee the outstanding quality of our organic products. We have taken on the challenge of using only the best products, produced under optimum conditions, to supply a discerning international clientĂ¨le. Apart from conforming to conventional methods of quality assurance, NOAN also adheres to the "NOAN Six". This pioneering concept of social responsibility is based on the following six pillars: "Organically Made, Fair Made, Clean Made, For Health, For Enjoyment, For Responsible Giving ". This means that NOAN relies exclusively on organic farming and on fair cooperation with regional farmers. Moreover, only environmentally friendly and healthy methods of production are used. Finally, NOAN gives all its proceeds to educational projects for needy children and young people, bringing together the realms of direct trade and direct donation.

Nirvana turns three Written By Kim traill

irvana Alhafi turned three in mid-September.

But there was no party. As she trudged along a train track in Hungary with her parents and three older siblings, none of them even knew the date. Thankfully, this would be the final leg of the family's three week-long, arduous and often terrifying journey from Lebanon to the safety of Austria. 'We are two times refugees,' Nirvana's father, Housam, 44, explains. 'My father's family fled from Palestine to Syria in 1948. I was born in Damascus, but could never become a citizen. It was written in our passports that we were Palestinian-Syrian, which meant we had no rights. We are stateless.' The Alhafis' story echoes those of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians whose parents and grandparents were displaced from their ancestral land during the creation of Israel. Growing up in the Arab territories surrounding the Jewish state, Palestinians never received legal status from their host countries. With few opportunities in Syria, Housam moved to Saudi Arabia in his twenties, where he found a job in sales at the Saudi American Bank. His wife, Lula, worked as a hairdresser. Nirvana was born in Saudi, as were her older sisters, Lana, now 10, Eva, 8, and brother, Rayan, 6.

'We had a nice life â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a big apartment, two cars,' Housam says wistfully. 'Everything was great. But when Lula was eight months pregnant with Nirvana, my boss announced he was giving my job to a Saudi national and ordered us to leave immediately. I begged him to let us stay until Nirvana was born. The birth was difficult and both Nirvana and Lula were very sick, but the Saudis didn't care. We had no choice but to leave. Nirvana was only ten days old.' Housam bought a flat on the fourth floor of an apartment building in the Syrian capital, Damascus. Less than a month later, the entire building was bombed to rubble. 'We came home and there was nothing left, only rocks and dust. Everything was gone â&#x20AC;&#x201C; our passports, money, my wife's jewellery.' 47

The Alhafis fled to Ein Al Helwah camp, Lebanon's largest Palestinian refugee camp, southeast of the port city of Sidon. Originally established in 1948 by the International Red Cross to house 20,000 people, camp officials estimate Ein Al Helwah is now home to more than 120,000, crammed into a mere 1500 square metres. 'It is a terrible place: very crowded, there are no jobs and just being there is extremely dangerous,' explains Housam. 'Lebanese Armed Forces can't enter and there are men with guns everywhere. Rival militias are always shooting each other over a piece of bread. We stayed for more than two years. As outsiders, every day was terrifying.' Angela Merkel's announcement in early September that Germany would accept up to 800,000 refugees spread like wildfire throughout the camp. Housam seized his chance to make a new start. He packed what cash they had, a change of clothes for each child, his laptop and iPad and put the family on a bus to the Lebanese capital, Beirut. From there they travelled on to the port city of Tripoli, just south of the Syrian border where tens of thousands of other hopefuls were already anxiously waiting for a ticket on one of the passenger ferries which ply the route between Lebanon and the southern Turkish port of Mersin. 'The guys running the boat service knew we didn't have proper documents, so they could charge us what they liked. At first they de48

manded $USD8000 - $2000 for each adult and $1000 for the kids. I bargained with them and ended up paying $5500. Imagine how much money the smugglers are making when there are over 500 people on every boat. It's a massive business.' From Mersin, the Alhafis took a local bus across Turkey to Izmir on the west coast, then another on to Istanbul. Here Housam sought the services of another smuggler to get his family to the EU. 'The smuggling mafias advertise on Facebook. I met with three different guys and tried to find the best deal. The main thing was to be safe. Finally I went with a man called Abu Ali. He took $1050USD per person plus an extra $50 as insurance. He said that if the boat sinks, then we would get our money back, except for the $50 per person. I needed to save some cash, so I gave him my laptop and Nirvana's iPad to pay for one of the kids. When I paid Abu Ali before our trip, I told him that if anything happened to my wife or children, I would go back to Istanbul and kill him.' Late that afternoon the Alhafis boarded a bus in Istanbul. Housam estimates at least 400 people were crammed into their convoy of five buses: Syrians, Kurds, Iraqis, even Maghreb and Tunisians. People were sitting on the floors in the aisles.

'In the afternoon the mafia guys brought the boats. They were rubber, inflatable dinghies, maybe seven metres long. I was really afraid when we saw them. I can swim, but my wife and children can't and there is no way I could save them all. Abu Ali had promised me there would be no more than 40 people per boat, but when they loaded up the first boat I counted at least 52. They put the women and children in the middle first, then the men had to sit on the edge.' 'We could see the island we needed to reach, but it was a long way away and the sea was rough. When the people got in the first boat we realized to our horror that there were no drivers. The mafia guys told the people in that boat that one of them had five minutes to learn to drive. But it's really hard! It's not like driving a car. The boat goes in the opposite direction to the way your push the tiller, and there are wind and waves to deal with. We could see they were all terrified and didn't know what to do. But the mafia guys stood on the beach with their guns, threw rocks at the boat and said they would shoot if they didn't leave.'

'We waited for the last boat because I thought there would be less people, but it wasn't the case. There were still more than 50. I was furious with Abu Ali because he had broken his promise. We had to walk out into the water to get to 'We drove for eight hours. When we arrived at the boat, so we were all wet before we even our destination it was around 3am. The big got in.

I said, 'You are lying to me again. We drove for eight hours to get here, and now you tell me someone will be here in one hour? If you are lying to me, I swear I will come back to Istanbul.' Fortunately for the Alhafis, Abu Ali came through. An hour later a new boat arrived, with a driver. Several of their original group had decided not to risk the journey, so there were only forty people left. Nevertheless, Housam describes the trip as 'the worst forty minutes of my life.' 'I thought we were all going to drown. All my kids were screaming, 'Daddy, why did you bring us here to die? But thank God we made it and are all alive and safe.'

From Lesvos, the family took a ferry to Athens, continuing to follow the refugee corridor north through Greece. At a train station in Macedonia, after Housam had already paid the requested 4 Euros per person for their tickets, a man pushed him - Nirvana on his shoulders and Rayan holding his hand - down the steps of a moving train and demanded an extra 50 euros per person. Lula and the two oldest girls were already aboard. Housam had no choice but to hand over all but the last of his cash. 'The Macedonian police were very cruel,' Housam recalls with a shudder. 'They even beat the kids with sticks. But the Serbians were very kind and gave us a tent, food and water.' By the time the Alhafis arrived in Hungary, Housam had completely run out of money. The family slept on the ground and ate whatever was offered traversing much of the country by foot along rubbish-strewn railway tracks. Together with 50

thousands of other weary and desperate people, they had to wait until nightfall before crossing the border into Austria at Nickelsdorf. Vienna's Hauptbahnhof was an unexpected surprise for the exhausted family. Hundreds of volunteers from various charities united under the banner of the 'Train of Hope' offered hot meals, medical assistance and place to sleep. A large area had been set up for children to play. There were even art materials were available for asylum seekers to use while waiting for trains onward to Germany and Sweden. Housam, Lula and the kids were thrilled. For the first time ever, they felt truly welcomed somewhere. Within a few hours of arriving, Housam had painted a Palestinian Syrian flag for the Hauptbahnhof wall and decided their journey was over. A volunteer lawyer, speaking through a volunteer interpreter, explained the process for seeking asylum. Austria would become the Alhafis home. Fast forward two and a half difficult and often disheartening months of queues, bureaucracy and even a five-day stint in a Steiermark prison â&#x20AC;Ś and Housam, Lula and the kids cannot stop smiling. In an extraordinary act of generosity, a family in Floridsdorf has offered the Alhafis a disused office space in their building in which to make a home. Friends of the family have rallied around to furnish the space, provide beds, books and kitchen utensils. Other friends are teaching the family German. Best of all, the older children are at last able to go to school - for the first time in their lives â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and Nirvana is enrolled in kindergarten.

Housam meets the Austrian Chancellor Werner Faymann at the Austrian National day celebrations.

Excerpt from Kim's New Humans of Europe “Yesterday I showed our family of Palestinian Syrians a little of Vienna. (See pics and posts) I pointed out buildings which had been built in the 1950s to replace those destroyed by bombings during World War II. One near my house is named after a Jewish couple who died in the gas chambers at Mauthausen Concentration Camp. I told Hussam that during WWII, 65,000 Jews from Vienna alone were slaughtered in these horrific death camps. He had no idea this had happened. Just a few years later, the state of Israel was created and Hussam's own family was evicted from their village in Palestine. His father was six years old at the time, the same age Hussam's son, Rayan, is now, fleeing to Austria. Hussam has never been able to set foot on his ancestral homeland, something which pains him greatly. Despite this, he was genuinely distressed to learn what had happened to the Jewish people. And now he is settling in a city where the ancestors of those who evicted his family once lived. How incomprehensible our world can be!”

Tirol—Musings Written and photography By Kanchan Char

emories change perspective as time passes and sometimes you end up loving what you do for purely sentimental reasons. For me, time spent on the mountains, which are in themselves part exacting and luxury, part loneliness and the deepest communion get interwoven into a collective tapestry of storytelling! “It's a thing to see when a boy comes home.” wrote John Steinbeck in The Grapes of Wrath and it wouldn't be an altogether hyperbolic sentence when I apply to myself whilst writing about my visits to Tirol, Austria's scenic lake district! We started off exploring Austria with Salzburg, which is a lovely little city with some seriously impressive Baroque architecture. Salzburg is Mozart’s birthplace so if you’re a fan, there’s endless scope to delve deeper into him! We then took the opportunity to go up to Hallstatt, to the Salz Welten (Salt Mines) that date back to 4500 BCE and explore the villages of the Salzkammergut region. After a climb to around 1500 metres via the easily accessed cable cars, the journey through the prehistoric salt mines was truly worth experiencing. (The one thing I regret not being able to see in Salzburg is a performance of “The Magic Flute” at The Salzburg Marionette Theatre, a highly recommended watch by most local Austrians who remember seeing it as children themselves, and feel it forms an integral part of the cultural fabric of the city! An Austrian friend of mine often said that not a lot changes around these parts, and I for one am immensely pleased about it. Following that we went up into the mountains and called the tiny village of Biberwier, in the Zugspitzarena, home for the week. One of my most breath-taking memories is walking up to the lake Almsee in Ehrwald, (accessed either by hiking all the way from Biberwier or through a cable car from the Ehrwalder Almbahn) which we were fortunate enough to have to ourselves for a few hours to experience the clean, clear mountain air, the smell of the trees, the hum of crickets and the stillness of the very blue waters, all that can only be described as perfection; of a life apart from us that lives and breathes in some sort of polymorphous flux. It’s the kind of beauty that blindsides you from every conditioning!

There is no dearth of accommodation choices in the Zugspitzarena and we've experienced both suites and apartments with equal pleasure! Self catering was a choice we made the second time around, given the ample delis and supermarkets in short driving distance. It’s hardly a challenge to put together a simple Austrian meal with locally available produce, often fresh knödel and schnitzel too - a facsimile of many enjoyed out at Tiroler Gästehauses on earlier visits - one that I would like to recommend strongly is the Waldhaus Tablick in Biberwier. Food and memory are inexorably linked and ensconced in the visual snapshots of the wooded inn and bearskins on walls, lie the exquisite flavours of Speck, Leber, Kaseknödel on a bed of Sauerkraut

I've often thought travellers to the mountains are like easily pleased children who gasp in awe as meadows brim with wildflowers on their slopes! Hiking up to the brilliantly turquoise Lake Seebensee from the Ehrwalder Almbahn (give yourself a few hours) reminds you of a few things that city living has divested from us - above all, an opportunity to realise or revel in the fact that there is a harmony in everything; in the blood red Alpine Roses that bleed into each other to the tectonic plates that shift beneath – that we, like them are in part Sulphur and Selenium, Manganese and Magnesium! The serene melancholic landscapes are Life reduced to its lowest terms crepuscular, never mechanical; warm, wilting, unfurling, decomposing. City life has a way of making days blend seamlessly into each other, punctuated by gatherings and events; the incessant chiming of smart phones and emails that require redress at 5 AM. After all, one man’s 5 AM is indeed another’s 11 in the world we wake in! We crave reprieve in a world where most of the day is accessed with the sweep of a mouse. Where we stop periodically and think of the different ways we can access our senses – we garden, we bake, we craft, we paint. We pet the dog! In Tirol, I learned what John Muir meant about thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wildness is a necessity. In Tirol, I learned to make creative time for Me, probably an act I'll never fully master as a mother of young children - but being up there, walking amidst clouds with idyllic cows grazing unfettered, listening to the Alpine breeze metronomically rifle through the thin metal of carefully crafted cowbells, I know that someday I'll be coming "home" again!

a Deeper Luxury Reconciling indulgence* with relevance** *generosity, luxury, grace, extravagance, beauty **responsibility, dignity, consideration Talking with Anita Dorner and Teresa Zimmermann of The Small Gatsby about their initiative „a Deeper Luxury“. We talk worthiness and generosity. And shaking hands. What are you aiming to do with aDL? Collecting all the thoughts we ever had on how to live and what to create, we thought: Let’s do what we are doing anyways, but make it official – let’s put the worthiness back into fashion. And collect and communicate all the many companies who aim to do the same. There is noone out there giving a guideline for the quality lover. You might buy a precious merino sweater, but is the indulgence of it something every single person helping to create this, felt? We would like to know. We prefer things that have an appreciative, kind scent. And how are you going about this? Its about consideration. Lots of. We are considering, what we wear so close to our skin, which materials, where they come from, how they feel. And the people who pour their expertise and time into creating garments with them - we wish to shake their hands, each single one. So they can all carry our commendation „a Deeper Luxury“.

What significance has design in your initiative? We are always looking for the „why“ behind design. Our garments shall give the wearer presence, suit their character. They shall always make a statement, subtle or bold, deepening on their mood. For children, this is mostly a matter of respecting their wish to move. A lot. And to be enwrapped in something soft, something that has little secrets only they know of. We like design that is not only focussed on aesthetics, but also very functional and suitable (for the wearer, the occasion, ..). That makes, for us, a perfect garment. How can anyone join your initiative? Well write to us! hello@adeeperluxury.com. We will be launching officially come spring 2016 – the more, the merrier.
