EDITORIAL Dear readers, it is high-summer. Holiday time. This is a time, when people are just happy and when they want to enjoy their life to the full. It is also the time to wear and present the most beautiful fashion looks, before the autumn and winter will start again. However, before we start with the best fashion trends of this summer, it is also the moment to remember the things that happened the weeks, since our last issue. France, Germany, Thailand, Turkey; not to mention all the violence all over the world. However, the dramatic situation is steadily increasing and it happens everywhere on every single day. While many people in Syria or Iraq haven’t any perspectives for the future since years, now, also Europeans become unsettled more and more, not least after the terror attacks in Turkey, France or the absurd Brexit of England. Also when the Brexit is a done deal since two months, it is still an issue that causes heated discussions everywhere, especially among young intelligent people. When we look back to the year 1989, we could see that a peaceful, non-violent assertion of interest, wishes and dreams has the real power to change the world forever. At this time Berlin has proven, that unity is strength and enables people to break down walls and barriers – without bloodshed, but full of joy. Since the fall of the Berlin Wall, as a matter of course, people from all over the world, from all cultures and religions came to live beside each other in the most trendy metropolis of Europe. They are neighbors and colleagues; fellow students and friends. They run restaurants, bars, boutiques, ateliers and many other thingS.
It is very interesting to listen to those people; as well as it is very excitng to listen to the international guests, who visit the town. how they experience the vibrant spirit of Berlin and how they compare it with the everyday life in their own hometowns? After a horrible year of 2015, France has to face continuously shocking terror attacks also this summer. While you could hear exhortations to hold out in TV, the voices on the street sound very different. With this issue we try to understand our neighbors a bit better. Therefore, we invited our model Andja from the South of France to hear an authentic voice beside we enjoyed an exciting trip through through Berlin. Here, we looked for history and present, and places to calm down during the busy and uncertain everyday life. However, to keep an awareness for the tragedies in our world doesn’t mean to doom and gloom. Far away from that, to recognize the good as well as the bad makes it possible to learn and to understand our world as well as it can help to do the things better in the future or to see the big chances of our time. Therefore, we want to start with an interesting project of some well-known international artists, which shows that very good things could accrue from new challenges. I wish you inspiring and contemplative moments as well as a lot of fun while reading this new VALEUR issue. Sincerely, yours

WWW.VALEURMAGAZINE.COM NEXT ISSUE: 28.10.2016
What happens when international artists of different but related media areas come together? They could certainly create something great or – much better than that – they will create something really good. That’s what’s happened when four stars met eachother some month ago:
HOLLYWOOD STAR ROBERT DE NIRO, CROSSMEDIA TALENT YOANN LEMOINE AKA WOODKID, PHOTOGRAPHER AND DIRECTOR JR AND COMPOSER AND PRODUCER NILS FRAHM
THE MINI ALBUM CALLED “ELLIS”
is the result of the cooperation of these artists. It was released in July. The story is simple but so powerful. With his unique voice, Robert De Niro speaks about the immigrants, who came from all over the world in search of a better life. Thousands of people fled from poverty, hunger, pain and war. Grateful for the chance and highly motivated, they created the America, that we know today. Therefore, the laudation of Robert De Niro is a clear hint to the current situation in Europe, which is absolutely comparable with the end of the 19th century, when countless people came to the New York’s bay: Ellis Island. Nils Frahm about the story: “Actually, Robert says it all in the 17 minutes. We aren’t faced a refugee crisis. We are facing a crisis, because we aren’t able to embrace, we do not feel and we don’t give up our fears. The art can encourage and so I hope that this project will help to fight against the fear of all of us.“ Engulfed with this story, „Ellis“ is a film music, which was composed by Woodkid and performed and co-written by Nils Frahm. The delicate piano motifs of ‚Winter Morning I‘ are completed by a crescendo of strings, while the pulsating harmonium on the B side forms the foundation for the history of De Niro: A praise to those who created the modern America. There was probably never a more appropriate time for this story. The proceeds of the revenue go to the charitable initiative Sea Watch. The aim of this non-profit organization is the protection and the rescue of civilian refugees. Following a performance as part of Nils‘ Barbican Weekender in London, ELLIS is released since today, July 8, within the week of the American Independence Day. Ellis is available in form of an erased tapes mini album on CD, vinyl and digital including photo booklet on 12 pages.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
JR is the pseudonym of a French artist, director, and photographer. Speculations and rumors say that JR is a short form for “Juste Ridicule” which means in French just ridiculous. (The space for interpretations is left empty at this point.) The artist works anonymous and without any explanations of his art works so that every passerby is in demand to interpret his huge portraits and frames, spread on walls all over the world, on his own. This leads that JR could be referred to as the “French Banksy”.
His huge black and white portraits among the cultural treasures of contemporary street art arouse our attention on stories, which could probably get forgotten otherwise. The project called “Unframed” plays a supporting role in the film as well as in the booklet. The photography prints receive and visualize the memory of those, who came in the country through Ellis Island. „To see our past and to try to understand it better,“ says JR, „is a good way to understand what’s happening now and what awaits us in the future probably.“ Compatriot Yoann Lemoine aka Woodkid is a French songwriter and composer, director and graphic designer, who can look back on a varied and successful career in the most diverse fields. In 2013, he released his debut album “The Golden Age”, based on strings, brass, percussion, piano, programmed sounds and a strong and equally sensitive voice. As altruistic visionary with a strong and modern solo project, he already collaborated with great artists such as Lana del Rey, Pharrell Williams, Hans Zimmer, Jonás Cuarón and recently JR and Nils Frahm. Nils Frahm is a respected composer and producer, who works in his Durton Studio in Berlin. He won fans all over the world due to his unconventional approach to a centuries-old instrument, which he plays so thoughtful and intimately. For a successful musician and so early in his career, Frahm features an exceptional control and restraint in his work, which has found its way into the ear of numerous fans.
A FRENCH VOICE IN BERLIN WHEN WE THINK ABOUT THE BRITISH EXIT OF THE EU, WE HAVE TO RECOGNIZE THAT IT IS DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND, BUT THE RESPECTIVE ANXIETY IS RELATED TO AN ADVERSELY AFFECTION OF OUR PERSONAL FREE-DOM AND LUXURY LIFE. AT LEAST, THE BREXIT DOESN’T MEAN WAR AND TERROR OR THE FEAR FOR ONE’S LIFE, AS IT COUNTLESS PEOPLE HAVE TO EXPERIENCE IN MANY HOT SPOTS OF THIS WORLD. THE EUROPEANS WERE USED TO HEAR FROM THESE DANGEROUS PLACES, FAR AWAY, JUST IN THE MEDIA. SINCE 2015, THE WAR CAME BACK TO EUROPE. ESPECIALLY, THE BEAUTIFUL FRANCE IS AFFECTED BY TERROR AND VIOLENCE. UNFORTUNATELY, IT SEEMS THAT IT WILL NOT STOP VERY SOON. IN ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL COUNTRIES, WHICH SOCIETY IS FOUNDED ON VALUES AND THE PHILOSOPHY: "LIBERTY, EQUALITY AND FRATERNITY'; IN A COUNTRY WHICH LIFESTYLE IS BASED ON CREATIVITY, LOVE AND PLEASURE, PEOPLE HAVE TO BE AFRAID TO FACE THE UNCONTROLLABLE TERROR EVERY DAY. THIS SUMMER, ON THE FRENCH NATIONAL HOLIDAY, ONE SINGLE PERSON
KILLED 85 PEOPLE WITH A TRUCK. HE BLIGHTED THE LIVES OF SO MANY INNOCENT PEOPLE – CHILDREN, TEENAGER, WOMEN, MEN, TOURISTS, FAMILIES. NO MATTER WHETHER A PERSON FEELS WRONGED OR IN DANGER, THERE IS NO SINGLE REASON FOR HAPPENINGS LIKE THAT. OF COURSE, NO INTELLIGENT PERSON COULD UNDERSTAND OR EXPLAIN THOSE ACTING, BUT ARE WE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THE FEELINGS OF THE FRENCH AT THIS DIFFICULT TIMES? THEY OUR NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS. THEREFORE, WE SHOULD TAKE TIME TO TAKE CARE AND TO LISTEN TO THEM. SO, VALEUR TOOK TIME TO TALK WITH THE LOVELY VALEUR MODEL ANDJA FROM THE SOUTH OF FRANCE. DURING A SPECIAL LINGERIE SHOOTING, WE TALKED ABOUT HER FEELINGS, FEARS, HOPES AND DREAMS. IN ORDER TO PRESENT THE UN-VARNISHED TRUTH AND TO PRESENT AN AUTHENTIC BEAUTY, WE WAIVED ALL ADDITIONAL EFFECTS LIKE STYLING OR MAKEUP. WHEREAS, WE HAVE CHOSEN A LOCATION, WHICH ENABLES THE POSSIBILITY TO CREATE A DISTANCED VIEW OF THE REALITY AS WELL AS PLEASANT MOMENTS.

However, now they know, that we run one of the best bars in Germany”.
The Fairytale Bar

Interview With Valeur ANDJA
ABOUT PASSION, LOVE, AND DREAMS
Andja, you are living in France. What are the biggest differences between your place and Berlin, except of the weather? I live in a small town in the south-west of France, which means that there are a lot of differences between Berlin and my hometown. The most important to mention here is the size. In my town you’ll just find the most important things like places to buy some food, some clothes, a cinema and some restaurants, but there are no big choices you can make. Apart from that, I live in the middle of the woods and there is just one hour to go to the beach, so the life rhythm is completely different and you really cannot compare it with Berlin. You are going on a road trip through Berlin with VALEUR. What can you tell us about your expectations for that time? I am so happy for the chance to discover Berlin. I love travelling and seeing other things apart from my everyday life. Coming to meet Macro Kokkot and the team of the VALEUR MAGAZINE inspired me a lot. As I am always in a positive mood and dynamic during shootings and I live the modeling business as my personal life-adventure, I always try to give my best to end up with a good result. My wish is to stay in people’s mind in a very positive way.
When it’s about Berlin, what did you like the most and what you didn’t like there? I like a lot of things in Berlin. It is a very interesting city! I am a real gourmand. Therefore, I like to try restaurants. Believe it or not, I love the Berlin cuisine a lot. It is simple but tasty. Of course I tested also international food here, which had also a very high level of quality. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to try it all, but I will be back… Additional, I like the metro. It is much easier to use and to understand than in Paris; and the smell is also more pleasant! The fact that Berlin is so big, is also positive for. When we made our first trip, I asked if we would have crossed Berlin completely. The answer was, that we are still in one district of the town. I was surprised, also because of the less pollution, compared with other big cities. Of course, some streets are very busy and loud, but you can find quiet places almost everywhere. I didn’t meet so many horrible odors either. However, in only 4 days it is nearly impossible to see all or to understand all, but I have got the impression that Berlin is a dynamic city with a very rich culture. The negative point for me – but it is my general pint of view - is the city life in total or to make it concrete: I don’t like big cities so much in general. Furthermore, in Berlin it is to be regretted, that the war destroyed a lot of nice old buildings and that many of them were replaced by very modern buildings. In some streets I recognized that the modern facades as well as the architecture of the new buildings doesn’t match with the old ones. This has the effect, that some streets are looking inharmoniously. In my opinion, new buildings will never have the same character as old ones. When, they should be built taking account of the style of the others houses next door. What German foods and drinks you tried already and what was the most delicious one? Of course, I tried the Curry Wurst, a soup with sausages, the typical Berlin meatball called “Bulette” and minced meat with a special sauce and vegetables, but I cannot remember the name. I liked it all and I don’t have a special preference. My taste changes all the time. Therefore, for me the most important thing is that the food is well-cooked and that it’s tasty. Andja, you told us that you live in the French countryside. What are the biggest differences between the mentalities of French people living at the countryside or living in big cities? I think that people who are living in big cities are more open minded. They are used to meet many different cultures and so they are “trained” to be tolerant and curious. In contrast, I think that the townsfolk are more stressed because the life is faster and time and ambitions aren’t the same at all. And I guess, they have less time to appreciate the life and the small and simple things of it.
Did you notice similarities between the French and the German townsfolk? I didn’t meet different, especially, we are all Europeans. Maybe I did not stay long enough to figure them really out. Since 1 1⁄2 year, France faces the international terror in a way, that shock people all over the world. What do you feel about that and how much the terror influences the daily life? Does somethings has changed for you personally? Yes, it is horrible what is going on here. I have got the impression that there are different ways to encounter the terrorism. There are people who are getting furious and who want to start fights. There are others, who are just afraid and who see no ways or means to stop that all. Finally, there are also people, who don’t want to surrender the fear. They want to continue their lives like before, as if they want to show that the terrorism cannot defeat them. I have the feeling that all of this is strengthening the racism and that we aren’t far away from a new kind of civil war. I feel that there is somehow a subliminal sadness, which is surrounding us now. I am afraid that our world is destroying itself, step by step. But in my everyday life I just think at spreading love and tranquility. I think, it is the best what I can do from my side. When everybody would do it, the world could be a better place. Were you or your friends directly affected by some of terroristic attacks? What were your first thoughts after you heard about the attacks in Paris and Nice? My brother is living in Paris and he goes often to Bataclan, where many people lost their life. When I heard from these attacks, I thought of him immediately. I was terribly afraid. The next day he told me that he thought about going to the place, where the attack took place. I felt so helpless in this moment, that I cried because of the fear and the sadness which overwhelmed me. I have also friends whose family members were at the place during the attack. Actually, every single person was shocked in some way or another. Incidents like this are changing the self-awareness of a person. In my case, I wasn’t in the mood any more to go to Paris. I just wanted to enjoy the time with my best friends.
When we have visitors from France, we recognize that they are very carefully on the streets. When you are in bigger cities like Paris or Berlin, are you sometimes afraid to go out in public places? How do French people cope with this anxiety? I am not really afraid. Sometimes, it just happens randomly that I think about “what if...” However, less people went out to celebrate parties or concerts etc. I think, that currently many people feel uncomfortable when they are among groups. Therefore, they aren’t in the mood to celebrate parties and other public events at the moment. As a model you have to travel and work a lot in different countries. Therefore, you benefit from the advantages of the European Union. When we think about violence and terror as well as the Brexit of the United Kingdom, do you think the current tense situation will change the mind of the French people. Do you think, they could start to discuss a “Frexit”, because they lose their trust in the union? I really don’t know, what the French people think about the European Union. I guess that most of them still believe in it, especially during bad times like now. The union makes us stronger and the violence isn’t a result of the European Union. The heritage of these conflicts is much older. I think the absurd current situation isn’t reason enough to leave our friends and partners. You an open minded European citizen, why do you think national Parties such as the Front National are getting more and more power? This is a really complicated issue. I think, violence breeds violence. A lot of people think that the current violence is caused by the immigration of refugees and emigrants. I guess, some people think, that a kind of counter violence like promoted by the Font National could solve the problem. Sooner or later, they will learn, that these all will not solve the problems. Maybe they will learn, that the solution could be caused by our own hearts. You work as a model since a long time. Why you have chosen one of the hardest businesses? When I was 19 years old, my mother wanted that I become a model. I never thought about this until that day. I didn’t really want to become one, but after the first jobs, I realized that I like it to do. For me it is not hard at all, it’s more or less natural. Moreover, I use all my time for modeling, as it became my deep passion. During a shooting - as well as after, when I get the feedback of the others - I feel talented, somehow useful and important.
What do you think is the difference between the German model business and the French one? Are the requirements different in Germany and France? I think that the French models have a lot more opportunities in Germany than in France itself. The stranger is often much more “exotic�. Furthermore, I heard that the French models are working always accurate and motivated. I can confirm it in my case. Never I work just on 50 percent. When I have a job, I give always 300 percent or more. It is difficult for a model to find a good job in France, whereas we are really welcome in Germany.
Often, this business expects to handle difficult or stressful situation alone. What are your secrets to stand the challenges of your job and how do you find motivation and energy? For me, being a model is a passion, but not just a job. Therefore, I have always a deep motivation to work in this business. Even in hard or tired moments, my energy comes back when I am in front of the camera. Always I want to give my best.
Do you have support from your family or friends? Regarding family and friends, I am independent. I want to live my life and I want to use my chances. Of course, my closest friends and family members are very important for me as well as my partner. He supports me and appreciate the things that I am doing. They support me to do what I want to do, also in difficult moments. You are tall, but you have a wonderful feminine attitude and figure. What are you doing to keep yourself and your body in shape? I am doing sports and fitness at least 3 times a week. Furthermore, I have a lot of little tricks in my daily routines and nutrition. But, as well, I am lucky to have good genes. My mother looks the same like me. Maybe, I have inherited it.
You aren’t posing in front of the camera? No, my gestures are natural. I don’t think about what I could do or how I have to move or to look. Often, people say that I look really graceful, which is even good to hear . Many young girls want to become a model. What you would like to tell them about the business? I think that it’s important that they understand that it is a hard job. Newcomers will learn, that they have to reduce their private live as well as that it is a very personal thing to work as a model. You have to present your face and body to foreign people. Most time it’s about the look, but when you have luck, the personality could play an important role too. It is also important to understand, that you cannot please everybody. When an agency doesn’t want to work with you, it has nothing to do with you as a private person. Newcomers should always keep their passion and confidence. Because, , there’ll be the result for this positivity one day.
In relation to the busy lifestyle of a model, how do you keep up with your relationships to your family, boyfriend and friends as well? I am lucky because my partner is self-employed, so he can accompany me quite often. If not, we are always happy seeing each other again at home. We keep very close contact with our mobile phones, but at the same time we love each other enough to grant the personal passions. I discuss with him every job offers, before I sign a contract or going somewhere. We hope you had a great experience in Berlin regarding the shootings. However, did you also faced some bad experiences during your model career? I didn’t have bad experiences. It just happens sometimes that photographers behave badly in a way that I never see any photos or results from a shooting. Also sometimes the refusal of agencies is hard to accept, but is a part of the business. Nevertheless, I am really happy in general.
Andja, we have chosen the Fairytale Bar for our shooting and interview. What was your first impression? I liked this absolutely exclusive place from the first moment. I never saw a location like this. The owner is the friendliness in person and he has to have an incredible imagination to design and create a magic place like this. I am also really happy for being shoot there in lingerie. We visualize sensual lingerie. Do you like lingerie of that kind? Does it fit with the classical clichĂŠ of the French attitude? I love sensual and classic lingerie. I think that they underline special values of women without being just a sexual object. Maybe, my point of view is close connected to the famous French attitude ď Š. The elegance, the finesse ‌ this is what I like. But I also like sexy clothes.
The characteristic for fairytales is that the boundaries between reality and fantasy become blurred. The decoration and the design of the bar intensify this, so that it seems that it is a place, where dreams become easily true. How did you feel during the shooting at Fairytale Bar and what could you tell us about your dreams? The Fairytale Bar is a magic place. I really liked the shooting there, because it gave me the feeling of being unique and a sexy princess in beautiful lingerie. It was mystical but funny as well. Marco Kokkot and the owner of the bar kidded me by giving me the menu, which looks like a fairytale book. But it wasn’t – what I had to realized when I opened it. In the middle of the book was a mechanic butterfly, which flow away and surprised me a lot. We had to laugh a long time. I think that these photos are good ones, also because of the fact, that we didn’t used professional makeup or styling. I was allowed to me, to show me how I am in reality. The theme of the bar is also a good idea, as it is like a bubble in our world which allows to escape from reality. Thus, it is a place for dreaming. My dreams are that the people understand that happiness or luck cannot be find in the exterior. It is something you need to discover in your own. I dream also, that professionals accept more and more a sensual personality, than edgy, extremely thin – and often undernourished - girls.
These undernourished girls are successful, but often they aren’t happy. It is typical for Fairytales, that the main characters never lose their hope. Could you describe your hopes for a fairytale-style-life with no boundaries as the European Union was founded for? Living without borders means living without fear of the unknown and leaving space for the love. A world without borders is like paradise and the only race is the race called “humanity”. It is a place where people like each other and understand others without any difficulties. It means exploring our earth without any anxieties. What were your favorite fairytales as a child? And which fairytale character would you like to be for one day? My two favorite princesses were “Ariel the Mermaid” and “Aurore” (English: The Beauty and the Beast).
When you think about fairytales, what would be a fairytale which should turn to reality? What are your dreams and hopes for the future – private and in general? I dream of a world without war, without unrestricted power – a world of absolute love, a green and healthy planet. I dream that the mankind starts to listen the voice of its heart, so that all people are able to feel love and that they could appreciate peace and happiness. Regarding my career, I would really like to work for important advertisement campaigns, for well-known lingerie brands or cosmetic products. Of course, it would be great to represent fashion brands too. I am dreaming of seeing myself at huge posters in random cities and being known for my qualities and personal beauty. For my private life I am dreaming of keeping everything as it is: my partner, my health, my family and my friends. I am already living my dream-life.
Where They
Highlight Your Beauty
JACKS BEAUTY DEPARTMENT THE RIGHT PLACE FOR A PREFECT STYLING
RENDEZVOUS
BERLIN After a pure interview without make-up and styling, it is time to start our little discovery trip through Berlin. We have selected the Prenzlauer Berg, more precisely, the area around the Kastanienallee; a district, which is well-known for a special lifestyle, characterized by happiness and creativity. Here, you can find countless agencies and media studios, designers and boutiques, shops, bars and - last but not least - restaurants and clubs. Often you will see camera teams, producing films for TV or cinema. It is no wonder, because the first German motion picture was produced here more than 120 years ago and so some international career started here too. It is just one reason, why the street got its nickname “Casting Avenue”, which sounds very similar to its German name Kastanienallee (Chestnut Boulevard). This area is also a hot-spot of the fashion and styling scene Berlin. Therefore, it is time for a professional but natural day styling. The right place to get it is

ABOUT MAKEUP ARTIST VANESSA: After finishing her vocational training as an industrial clerk, Vanessa spent some time abroad to work in some media companies hereafter. Because of her creativity, she made the training as a makeup-artist to turn her passion into career. For one year, Vanessa works in the JACKS Beauty Department, also to gain further knowledges in nails and hairstyling.
Miriam, in 2015 you moved with JACKS Beauty Department to the Kastanienallee. What was the reason for this decision? Why did you take this beautiful town house? At first we thought about another location, which was just built, but as fate would have it this location wasn’t get done for a long time so that we started to look again for other places. That’s how we found our town house. The interior shows attention to detail and elegance. Old and new styles and design elements are combined in a very harmonic way. What was the most important for you during the conception of the store and what do you like to express with that? Interior design and decoration are two of my passions. I am obsessed with details and so was the interior designing. Little things like vintages frames; accessories or shelves made of tree trunks create the nice ambiance. Our customers are to feel good comfortable with us and it should feel like a pleasure for them to come to our store. How important is the synergy of the interior installation and the actual work at such a concept beauty store like the JACKS department? It is really important for the benefit of the customers as it reflects our style. The interior design should help the customer to figure out how our style is, how we work and how he could look like later maybe. How important is the stylistically confident appearance of the team? How do you assess the importance of the first impression in this field of work? The confident appearance of our team is of course important and necessary for the work at our store. The team represents the style our customers want to look like when they are coming to our place. That is why our girls have to be styled and need to wear make-up. But at the same time it has all to fit to our natural style and look. There are countless makeup-artists in Berlin. What is the difference from your department to their stores and how difficult is finding competent and well trained staff? It is really not easy at all to find good staff as they don’t just need to be good at hair styling or make-up but at both. Furthermore, they have to understand everything about the business behind. That is why I started two years ago with Make-up Designory in Germany. The educational concept from the USA gives me the possibility to educate staff by myself. The sales training, I am teaching
by my own, as I am talented in it and as it is very important for me how our customers are treated at our store. You were really young when you went to the United States to complete your professional education for makeup-artist. How did that come about? I made my first contacts in that business when I went to America as an Au Pair after my school time in Germany. I was 18 years old. The people I met in that time told me about the best and biggest make-up schools, the Make-Up Designory in LA was one of them. This school impressed me immediately so that I started my professional training in LA and canceled the one in Germany. Meanwhile, you are sharing your knowledge and train others. What can you tell us about this? As already explained, did I start this because of the lack of well-trained staff I needed for my business. More and more girls who wanted to work with me were asking where they could do their professional training. As I am a big fan of the MUD education system I always recommended going to LA or NYC. But for most of the girls going so far was just way too expensive so that I decided to open a MUD concept store as a franchise in Germany. The first school of Germany you can now find in the Oderbergerstraße in Berlin. Back to JACKS Beauty Department: who are typical customers and what can they find and expect at your store? Our clientele is really mixed up. People of every age and gender and from every part of the world are coming to the store. Besides to the high-end cosmetic products and exclusive niche brands the customers got the feeling to be kidnapped into a unique beauty-world. Nevertheless, the focus is on personal and professional consulting matching one’s type. In addition to the traditional services of a beauty store, JACKS does produce their own vegan cosmetic brushes. Did you are dissatisfied with the quality of other products or what was the reason for starting the own production? I wasn’t unsatisfied with the brushes we were using, the brushes of MAC Cosmetics are also really good by the way, it was more the boring design that bothered me. In addition to that I am allergic to real hair brushes and the existing vegan brushes did not convince me.

MAKEUP: Vanessa made a natural makeup with the focus on the eyes. She uses just a light foundation as well as a suitable contouring. The eyes are highlighted with a brown MUD eye-shadow and a Calc outliner, while the lips remain very nude. PRODUCTS: CALC, &gretel, MUD, Eyeko, Paris Berlin and Ellis faas. While some of products are completely organic, all are free of chemics and based on natural ingredients.
Your brush handles are colorful; to match with the work of the makeup-artist – or is there another story behind? I am a big fan of neon colors, what is the reason why all of the first designs were colorful. Meanwhile we are also making black and white and pastel brushes. There is something for any taste that makes this so much fun. Every time when the new collections arrives I am free to choose a new set and even after so many years in this business the brushes are the equipment which give me still the greatest joy. Does the entire brush production take place in Germany? Yes, this is correct. The brush production is 100% a German one. Over the last two years we’ve been working with club KLIK. During weekly workshops homeless young people can paint the brush handles to gain some money. Many times even my colleagues and me paint them, because it is so much fun. After the coloring the brushes go to Nurnberg where they got coated. It is in fact a really elaborate process and a hand crafted unique piece, which we sell for a fair price. Are the brushes made of professionals or are they as well suitable for beginners (meaning as well the price range)? The brushes are made from professionals to professionals. Furthermore, they are a real must-have for every customer who would like to achieve the best make-up result possible. At our online shop one can buy prefabricated sets, which we individually package for our customers. Your brushes are vegan as well as a lot of your products. You prefer to work with niche brands, who produce sustainable and organic cosmetics? Which brands are you using especially and why did you decide to work with them? I am taking rally care about good ingredients and a nice packaging. Every make-up I am testing on my own at first and it must convince me 100% to get included to our stock. Our main make-ups brands at the moment are: Cosmetics a la cart, Make-up Designory, UndGretel, Paris Berlin, Ellis Faas. Do you recognize a transition of the customers to more quality and sustainability? Quality and sustainability are big topics that are important for us and for our customers. The trend is going more and more to the organic and our customers are increasingly asking for that. You are a young mother full of energy, opening recently another Beauty Department. What are your plans for the future? Currently I am really happy with what I’ve created so far. I just want to stabilize this business more to make it even a big bigger. I still have a lot of plans with JACKS beauty department and the MUD Studio but at the moment my baby Noah is at the first places and gets all my love, so I want to have the time to be a good mama. Because of this I am counting on my great time more than ever before and I am just thankful and happy that they give me so much support.

THE PRATER THE OLDES BEERGARDEN OF BERLIN
It is time to show the new makeup to the public. The famous Prater, a cozy beergarden, is very close. Here, normal as well as famous people enjoy a beer in the sun or a theater drama since ages. Probably, the innovative Skladanowsky brothers, visited also the Prater to find inspiration and new ideas for their movies and invention, called Bioskop. Here, Andja meets Gonzalo to discover together the history of the
PRATER
THE PRATER
is the oldest beer garden of Berlin with an eventful history. Of course, in the early morning you will find enough free places in a beer garden, also in a party town like Berlin. However, this gives the possibility to learn more about the story of this place and who could tell it better than the guys behind the bars. Zinki works as barkeeper in the Prater for many years and he tells us the story of the Prater Berlin. It is said, that a certain Mr. Porath have started serving beer at Kastanienallee 7 already in the year 1837. However, documents show that the Kalbo family purchased the establishment in 1852 and started developing it. It was the time, when the place evolved from a beer garden and outdoor café into a place of allround enjoyment and leisure. Initially located on the sandy edge of Berlin, the city soon swallowed the »café chantant«. Soubrettes could be seen on stage, and Mr. Kalbo started calling himself a »cafétier«. The Prater quickly developed. A cooperation with the Pfefferberg brewery gave the Kalbos the financial power to build a performance venue. Although a growing concurrence, the Prater survived, probable due to the special mix of entertainment.

THE PRATER
THE PREMIERE
IN 1878
THE BEER GARDEN
was also a place for political meetings. The first recorded political gathering was a foundation celebration of the General German Workers' Association. Set up by Ferdinand Lasalle in 1863, it was Germany’s first labor party. It marked its 8th birthday with a mixture of agitation, beer and dance music. Bismarck’s social legislation banned all gatherings and celebrations that had an overtly political character. However, the politically active proletariat started singing, sport and other cover associations; using the Prater to continue their celebrations and agitations. After 1891, the bar on Kastanienallee became a central venue for the annual May Day festivities.
IN THE FOLLOWING YEARS
musical comedies, burlesque shows, operettas, pantomimes and puppet shows were presented in the summer in the Prater, while the ball season commenced in the winter time. It attracted a mixed clientele that included merchants, civil servants, maids, respectable families, workers and soldiers. the surrounding area experienced big changes. New apartment houses were built, the fire station in the Oderberger Strasse was also new as well as the St. Elisabeth nursing home behind the Prater. The public continued to come to variety shows and open-air concerts, but a new medium – invented in the neighborhood of the Prater – became successful in the performance hall: the film. During the years of the war, many people had less money to spend and the younger generation preferred cafés and cabarets in the center of the city. the Kalbos left the Prater – an establishment that they had built-up, but not actually owned for years. The film became the new main attraction. Film stars, visited the Prater. Similar to many other establishments, Berlin’s Prater closed when Adolf Hitler declared all-out war. survived the major bombing raids virtually untouched. The Soviet military administration ordered the opening of a cultural establishment in Prater, and the first hungry dancers and clowns appeared as early as the summer of 1945. Berlin’s Volksbühne moved to Prater in 1946 and it is still a part of it until today.
LATER,
IN 1923,
THE PRATER

Burlesque shows and cinema were also on the schedule, specifically those with the appropriate class loyalty. Films celebrated their premiere in the Prater. developed its own dynamic existence. People came to sit and to dance outdoors. In 1967, Prenzlauer Berg’s city council decided to refer the Prater as district cultural institution. and crafts developed in the garden’s outhouses. It included pottery and music in many guises. There were soapbox races, boxing tournaments and festivals. Every Sunday the high-decibel »Sunday Melody« radio broadcast tested the patience of the neighbors.

The city council was dissolved, and district cultural institutions became a thing of the past. The Prater experienced a second youth. Everything was possible, but it didn’t last for long. was standing on stage, or models were strutting across the concrete, the mood was anything goes, and a clear concept wasn’t in sight. New operators were involved in opaque activities, the staff was kept in the dark about their future, and somebody started selling beer in the outdoor area. celebrated the official reopening of Prater Biergarten on Whitsun 1996. In September of the same year the lights were switched on in the newly renovated Prater restaurant with its out-door terrace. The government-protected building had been renovated and redesigned to serve food for the entire year. Today the »Volksbühne im Prater« is the second performance venue for the Volksbühne on Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz. Beyond all the special effects and special events Prater remains simply Berlin’s oldest beer garden.
EVERYTHING CHANGED WHETHER DONOVAN A BIG PARTY
Berlins Finest Dinner
Discover
ROY & PRIS TAKE TIME TO ENJOY
After leaving Berlin’s oldest beer garden, we continue our tour to one of the newest interesting restaurants in town. We heard about finest dinner, served in a unique atmosphere and a location with a touch of science fiction
ROY & PRIS
Because of the neon light strips and the touch of Art-Deco design, it is easy to see immediately. The generous terrace lies directly on the corner to the Weinbergspark and offers a nice view to it. Actually located directly on the street, it offers a calm and cozy atmosphere. Therefore, it invites to make a rest from the everyday life. The menu underlines this friendly invitation, because it doesn’t offer big plates full of food, but a delicate collection of finest dinner. For that, everybody should take time to enjoy it with respect and pleasure. Inside, the restaurant touches the senses in different ways. The lightning effects and colors are a feast for the eyes, the different fine odors stimulate the sense of smell and the well selected sounds of music and noises touch the hearing in a special way. All together they enable the guest to calm down and to start a trip to the future of haute cuisine.
Roy & Pris is your fourth restaurant of a really special kind. Do you have too many ideas or how did it come that you opened another restaurant? We are bursting with creativity and love reinventing ourselves. The ideas never stop. Therefore, it was time to present something new. It was time for Roy&Pris. Roy&Pris looks very futuristic. What is the story behind? The name of the restaurant comes from the science-fiction film classic “Blade Runner” of the 80s. The film takes places in the futuristic Los Angeles of 2019. The two main characters Roy (Rudger Hauer) and Pris (Daryl Hannah) are replicates - artificial humans who were made to develop new worlds and planets and whom Harrison Ford hunts as Blade Runner. This explains the futuristic interior design of the restaurant: a mixture of shady lights and dark corners and neon light filaments, crossing the whole interior space, creates somehow a field of tension which strangely helps to relax at the same time. Are you both Blade Runner fans or did you just liked the atmosphere and design of this blockbuster? Is everything based on your own inspiration or did you had some help in setting up the restaurant? The in-depth atmosphere of the Blade Runner movie is haunting us since the opening of the “Long March Canteen” in Kreuzberg and so Roy&Pris is the logical continuation of that ambiance. We love the film with Harrison Ford and the music of Vangelis. With the goal to create a futuristic atmosphere and an interior design that reminded us of the movie without looking kitschy, we worked with the film artist Darius Ghanai and the architects from “Ett la benn” together.
Where visitors could find indications of the movie? You can find indications – direct as well as hidden ones – actually everywhere. The whole lightning concept is very futuristic. Especially the neon elements and the star installation were inspired by the film. Also, the bar reminds of one of the first film scenes, where Detective Deckard (Harrison Ford) is eating at the Chinese bar, before he is taken away from the police. The round flower planets and aluminum boxes are additional hints. The feather boas on the mirror are reminiscent of the backstage scene in the night club, where Deckard finds the first renegade replicant, the exotic dancer Zhora Salome. Shortly before Roy’s death in the movie, he is reflecting his life and memory. He says a beautiful quote: “All those moments will be lost in time like tears in rain.” Which memories should your guests keep and which memories should they take with them? The food should make an unforgettable experience, completed by all sins. Our guests should feel highly comfortable, that they stay for a long time, that they come back to share these memories with friends.
Andja and Gonzalo enjoyed green Asparagus, Just Prawns, Salmon Sashimi and Sepia-Heads.
Apart from the movie context, what would you describe as a special characteristic of Roy & Pris? The restaurant is very modern. It offers exceptional food with traditional Chinese roots as well as great wines and a very creative cocktail card.
Andja wears an elegant and sexy from the Italian brand
SHIRT DRESS JACOB COHËN.
The choice of the food is of the highest standard. What happens when a layman is visiting you and can't cope with the menu? Than the guest is at the right place. Roy&Pris isn’t just for experts or people who are used to enjoy Chinese food. We help our guests to find the right decision and we explain everything in detail. The best way for a person, who has no idea what he or she should order, is to test the menu, so, that they will find their favorite delicacies step by step. Maybe they will be surprised, suddenly loving dishes, that they never heard of.
Who is the typical Roy&Pris guest? Surely not somebody who is looking for fast food isn’t it? People who are sensitive for new food(-trends) and appreciate the quality and creativity of our dishes. Roy&Pris, could be the wrong place for people, who are looking for fast food. Although some dishes don’t take a long time to prepare, the guest should take time to enjoy them.
Which dishes did you served our models and why have you chosen them? I served Salmon Sashimi, grilled sepia heads, tempura prawns and green asparagus with garlic. A fresh and spicy mixture. They represent the variety of our menu.
What are the top-sellers and exclusive special features of your star kitchen? Sea food and surely the spicy delicate meat dishes. Are you also serving cocktails and other drinks? Yes, we have a wide range of drinks for any taste. Also aperitifs and cocktails. All guests are welcome to stay here after the dinner.
The beautiful bar looks perfect to enjoy the cocktails. It provides also some glimpses of the kitchen. What was your idea on that? The main idea was to create an inviting entrance hall, where guests could wait for their table and watch the kitchen and other guests. It could create appetite as well as the waiting guests could be inspired with which meal they should order later. In addition, the guests can use the bar self-sufficient, it means without ordering food. Furthermore, the bar also reminds of the movie Blade Runner.
You are playing with colors and senses. Every room is different. Which senses do you want to appeal especially? In the first step the location appeals the sense of sight as well as it the food does. Besides, the delicacies appeal the sense of smell, before they start a blazing firework of good taste on the tongue. The music and the bird chirp surprises the ears. The use of organic materials (concrete wood, rough plaster, plants) flatters the sense of touch.
The design concept enforces in the toilets with a greenery ceiling, bird voices through to a pretty mirror for the ladies and maybe the one or other men. Sensuality without limits? Yes. We want to create pleasure without borders.

THE BLADE RUNNER
is a cult film, directed by Ridley Scott, who marks the final breakthrough of Harrison Ford, who performs the main character, Detective Rick Deckard. The dark scenes and locations, the cold rain everywhere and the very in-depth story caused, that the movie wasn’t a big success during its first playtime period in the international cinemas. Nevertheless, during the years the Blade Runner became one of the biggest cult films ever. Many directors, authors, actors, photog-raphers and other artists were inspired because of it. The film shows a dystopian Los Angeles, where the Tyrell Corporation produces cyborgs, which are visually indistinguishable from real humans. These genetically engineered robots are called replicants. Some of them are utilized for menial work, but some of them are exclusively used for dangerous jobs. Therefore, they are banned from Earth, but they have dreams and memories. From time to time some very smart replicants try to find their heritage and the sense of life on Earth. Replicants, who return to the terrestrial world are hunted down and killed by a special squad team, called Blade Runner. Meanwhile seven versions of the film exist, from the Director’s Cut to the Final Cut. While the last one shows by far the best picture and sound quality, our tip is to watch the original workprint version from 1982, which is identifiable by Harrison Ford’s voiceovers. This version was harshly criticized always, but it is the only version, that explains the story in total. Harrison Ford’s voiceovers in combination with the film sounds and the music, composed by Vangelis, gives the movie the perfect drive. Sometimes a development doesn’t mean to make it better. However, every version has its special atmosphere and is absolutely worth seeing.

Did you know... ? THE PIONEERS OF CINEMATOGRAPHY,
the brothers Skladanowsky, had their atelier at the northern end of the Kastanienallee. Here, Max Skladanowksy filmed the crossroad in the year 1896. Already four years ago he filmed his brother in the atelier while during his gym. This film is classified as the first German footage. Max Skladanowsky was an inventor and the first German filmmaker. Together with his brother Emil, he invented the so called Bioscop, one of the first movie projectors. More than one month before the official premiere of the Lumière Brothers' technically superior Cinématographe in Paris, the Skladanowsky’s showed the first motion picture within a show to the audience on 1. November 1895. Max Skladanowski was born in Pankow, were the Prenzlauer Berg belongs to today. He was educated as a glass painter. With his father and brother, he started a tour through Germany in 1879. The family presented the “magic lanterns” to an impressed audience. Inspired by this technology Max and Emil developed the Bioskop, which used two loops of 54mm film with 16 frames per second. It was already fast enough to create the effect of motion. Later, the brothers presented the Bioskop in variety shows with the advertisement "the most interesting invention of the modern age". Between the Lumière Brothers and the Skladanowsky’s, a struggle for reputation and contracts began. Because of the better technique, the battle was ruled in favor of the Lumière Brothers and the Skladanowsky fell into oblivion until 1995, when German filmmaker Wim Wenders presented the drama documentary “Die Gebrüder Skladanowky” (The Brothers Skladanowski) to the public. Max Skladanowsky died on 30. November 1939. He lies buried in Berlin Pankow, where he © Bundesarchiv, Bild 183-R96755 / CC-BY-SA 3.0 was born.

INTERVIEW WITH GREGOR MARVEL-WYRWICH Thanks for the coffee! What do you run here? A coffee shop? A gallery? Actually a fashion, art and culture-salone with a small espresso bar for the physical well being to get to know each other. Friendly society sounds interesting. What does the name mean for you? It means to have a respectful interaction in a friendly and creative environment. Like in a little oasis. Usually in a society there is more than one person. What about friendly society? Who and what is behind it? Who else is involved? Christian Heinrich is a visual artist and is taking care of the gallery part. I am Gregor Marvel, designer, creatively active and I take care of the fashion and design areas as well as the cultural events like our music salone. So Christian is responsible for the gallery and you are for the fashion? Do you separate those parts strictly or does one affect the work of the other? Actually no, we exchange ideas and inspirations frequently. Are you always on one page when it comes to the selection of the pieces?
Well, yes. Maybe that's why we are working together since 2003 and it still remains exiting. You are a designer. What can you tell us about your fashion and your work? I love contrasts, materials and time jumps. I love to create pictures for a movie set and then I imagine everything what my guests would wear. This ranges from Berlin Dirndl to Country Glam and Cocktail Couture. Maybe I'm more a director in the body of a stylist. What do you like the most about fashion? The colours? Fashion for me is more like package design. You can act out emotions, hide them or package them. This contains a lot of fun and potential. To combine colours, materials, old and new, is a constant stream for me. Unstoppable.
It is difficult to notice a Berlin trend. How would you describe the latest Berlin-Street style? Too dark. It shows less individuality, but I don´t give up hope. Is Berlin hip or does it has still a lot to learn? As if Berlin ever allowed anybody to tell what do do? How important is the connection from fashion to art and other things? Does it get more and more important through the internet era? I think all those things were always already linked. It helps our customers with the communication. It is helpful for the repeat offenders to find something and to stay current. The experience showed that people need to get to know individual objects once real and haptical. How does such a beautiful shop like yours assert oneself in comparison to those many online-boutiques and shops? Me and Christian do not see each other as sellers, we are more hosts of a presentation platform for beautiful quality crafted pieces. By our individual guidance we create a basis of trust which creates a much more intense customer loyalty, as it may be at an online shop. Actually, our customers are our friends. After what are you selecting the shown art and fashion pieces? Which values do you attach great importance to and who are your customers and partners? Our main focus actually lies on quality craftsmanship. The gallery shows studied, visual and professional artists. This is important for me as well, in my fashion and design area. Additionally I like to be surprised by young designers. Our customers are people who have a flair for the extraordinary or who discover it in our facilities. Do your partners come by themselves or do you “find” them, or respectively do you like to choose them? That´s is really different from partner to partner. We had classical applications as well as recommendations or creatives I talked to on a party. Your shop has the name “friendly society”. When you make a cooperation, are only quality and high artistic standards important or do other values play a role as well? The focus is on the product, but the personalities of the artists have to suit us. Anyone who is not friendly must remain outside. I find it fantastic if people bring cross-genre projects. I like to see the society as a place where you do networking and create something new together. Our guests are happy here because we also do custom made products. There is no such thing as impossible. What values and standards should your customers and visitors bring with them? People who like big brands and hyped names are at the wrong address. In the field of art, we are more likely to settle in the area of modern classics. You can experience the full bandwidths of Berlin fashion and create your own style. From sustainably produced business attire to casual to red Carpet/costume design.
To understand art and design you usually have to take your time. You take a lot of time to guide your customers through your cultural department store. How much time should one plane to explore friendly society truly? Phew, that depends on the capacity of the visitor. We are a mini department store so there is a lot to explore although my fundus is not even public. There is a espresso bar furthermore, so you can soak up the things in piece and have the opportunity to get to know interesting people. In short, you can browse and explore the whole Saturday and Sunday between 12 and 18 o´clock, if you like. The interior design looks really interesting. I see a lot of objects from the 80´s. Everything is reminiscent of new and old times. What is behind it ? Is there a concept or a message? I am a child of the 80´s. This left a mark on me. The 80´s were in a fashion sense, the most complex decades ever. New Romantic, gothic, wave, punk, rock and pop have since then revived for the first time. Personally I think that Berlin is a patchwork of cultural and historical influences. That is what we try to express and develop further. With our slogan: Art is for soul and fashion for fun. are here for 13 years now. How did you ended up at the corner of “Kastanienallee”? In Gipsstrasse the rent increased immensely, so we actually just came to the “Griebenowstrasse” for a transitional period. But the neighborhood welcomed us so warmly that a half of a year stay became a 10 years success. What are your key-pieces, your favorite items? Crazy question. Friendly society became to my living room, surrounded with so much beautiful items. The list would be 13 years long. The sign on the door says “please say hello, when you come in”. Why did you placed this sign there? Is it necessary to refer to it? Sure. I am a little old-fashioned. My mother always made sure that I am polite and obliging. That´s a virtuous I also like to see in others. Big anonymous shops made some of the customers forget that. But for christian and myself a friendly attitude towards others is really important. By the way, at the inside of the door it says: “please say goodbye when you leave... thank you.”

A House On A In The Center of
Lake Berlin?
HAUS AM SEE THE RIGHT PLACE TO MEET
A cozy fashion, art and culture department creates appetite for more and a professional makeup and styling should be shown to more people. So it’s time to enjoy the afternoon in one of the hot spots of the party scene of Berlin
HAUS AM SEE
The name “House on a Lake” is hardly surprising at the first moment, because it is neither a house, nor on the sea; far away from it. It isn’t also a cinema, what people may assume, when they see the illuminated advertising at the façade. It isn’t a bar and it isn’t a club, but it is something between and it is sexy. And it is open 24 hours every day.
For some people, who have a small flat or boring flat-mates or how love to be among others, it could be a second living room. However, cozy sofas, chairs, a nice library and much more invite people to read, learn or just relax here. At the day time the atmosphere, the good drinks and the free Wifi lures many people into house. They come with their notebooks to learn or they read just books, while drinking a coffee or tea, or to eat something. Some come with their own book and some use the books from the nice library at the right side on the wall. It is a remnant of the former bookshop.

In the evening more stylish people enter the location and especially the broad stairs at the end of the room. These stairs lead to the upper terrace at the rear. From there, chilling on pillows and old chairs, everybody has a great view to the spacious room and all guest. See and be seen. While there is mostly a free place at the day time, it could be overfilled in the night, especially at the weekend. Then, DJ’s and live music events take place in the Haus am See. People, who danced enough enjoy the seating area, laid out with pillows, where they can drift away while listing the music. The Haus am See is a very cozy place, absolute perfectly to meet friends, to find the right one, to dance, to relax or just to have fun.
The „Mein Haus am See“ is located in the heart of Berlin. What does Berlin mean for you? Berlin means self-realisation and absoulte freedom. When you think about Berlin, which are the typical characteristics of the town in your opinion? Berlin has many facets. for us, the most imporant are rough and sleepless. How much of Berlin, which of these characteristics could one find in “Mein Haus am See”? Actually, you will find many aspects of berlin in the Haus am See, starting with the locations itself, which looks unfinished up to rough, because the interior is cozy but raw at the same time. However, the most important character point is "Sleepless", because the Haus am See is open 24h every day. There is a rumor that Berlin's nightlife is dominated by incomers and tourists today. Do you agree with that? Yes, definitely. But when you feel Berlin, you are Berlin and then all incomers are Berliner, regardless their nationality, religion and culture. We think this is the real heart of Berlin, that all people can have fun not only beside each otehr but in common. How many of the staff members are Berlin originals? About 1/8 of the staff are born in Berlin, which underlines the character of the Haus am See, because we are not only a Berlin party location, but also an international meeting point for people from all over the world - no matter whether we speak about our team or guests.
The House am See in the night. The special lighting effects as well as the mood create a unique atmosphere.
Is it important for you if someone is originally from Berlin or not? No, the main thing is that they pay their bills. Berlin is a cosmopolitan city – everybody is welcome here! As you just said, Berlin is a metropolis. People from all over the world are coming to visit and feel this crazy town. What do you want especially your guests to take back to their homes? Headaches, a lack of sleep and nice memories from the Haus am See with recommendations to all of their friends. More and more people come lo settle down seriously and for long-term to the German capital. Who of these people are the typical guests of the Haus am See, if there are some, and who is rather not coming? There is no special type of guest visiting us. From 18 to 88 ‌snobs and suitwearer‌ Are their special days or periods where there are special kinds of nations more than others to find? No, it definitely depends on the schedule of the budget airlines.
Andja wears an elegant as well as
ROCKY DRESS JACOB COHËN. of the Italian brand
Which nations can always to be find at your place? British, Spains, Italian… actually all! What time of the day/night is your fullhouse-time? It depens on... Usually the most turbulent time is from 8 pm to 4 o'clock in the morning. What is the most popular drink in the Haus am See? It depends also what you are looking for. If its about the cheapest good drink, of course it is beer, but when you ar elooking for real good drinks you should test our Gin Tonic and Vodka. Berlin’s development has just begun even if it is already booming. Do you recognize a change? Yes, Berlin changes everyday. There is no day like the other. Also regarding the development of the city itself. Some changes are very good, some not, but - last but not least - the mix is unique all over the world.
Andja wears an elegant as well as
ROCKY DRESS JACOB COHËN. of the Italian brand
Are there negative side-effects? every positive thing, has a negative side too. We regocnize an increase of the rent, disputes with neighbors because of noise etc. Everyday new hip and trendy designbars are opening their doors in Berlin. How would you describe the typical charming bar flair of Berlin? Bottled beer, Cocktails for round about 10â‚Ź and a veryy unique style - not chic but also not too trashy at the same time.
What was the most important for you regarding the interior and design of the Haus am See? The important thing was to present a mixture of a bar and club with a nice and easy going atmosphere, between the guests as well as the staff. Furthermore we want to offer attractive prices and - last but not least - an authentic livingroom-atmosphere.
The atmosphere you are describing comes especially from your interior design, which is really homely. Where do you find the furniture? As we want to create a feel-good atmosphere, we go a lot to flea markets and search on Internet auctions.

“Mein Haus am Seeâ€? is a very special name for a bar in the middle of the city and really surprising as there is now lake around the corner. What was the idea behind that name? HAt the hometown of the owner there was a hotel at a lake where he started his business‌

From the outside your house looks more like a cinema or a theater than a bar. Is that part of your story or just a clever idea to attract visitors? It was just a clever idea and helps a lot for the promotion of our cultural program such as readings, DJ nights, art exhibitions and so on. In the past this has been a bookshop.of the budget airlines.
To end this up: better a Haus am See (house at a lake) or at the “Mein Haus am See”? ...working at the “Mein Haus am See” and enjoying the free time at the lake in your little house …
As we learned, only one street of Berlin has many impressing locations and stories to offer. How-ever, when the sun is shining and the temperatures invite people to spend their time outdoors and another amazing character point of this town becomes relevant
THE PARKS
Berlin has about one million trees and 2.500 parks. Amazing. You will find them really everywhere. Some are simple, some are great and some are more than beautiful, but almost all invite the visitors to relax and enjoy the lunch, break or leisure time. Close to the Haus am See and all the other locations that we have visited, Andja and Gonzalo find the Volkspark am Weinberg or Weinbergspark (people’s park at the vineyard). It is time to relax here and to remember the past. Berlin is full of history, but it is also one of the youngest capitols of Europe. Not long ago, it was concentrated on the center district, called Mitte nowadays. At this time. the hot spots of the creative scene were fallow land, small villages or vineyards, such as the Weinbergspark. Here grapes were growing until 1740, when a strong winter destroyed the complete harvest. After a short time as an orchard, the supplier to the royal court Karl Friedrich Mollard purchased the place 1763.
He established a coffee bar, which became very popular for local people. Later, the rich family Wollank bought the place to build a villa, which was destroyed during the 2nd world war. The way along the old city wall, between Schรถnhauser and Rosenthaler Tor (means: gate) was named im memory on this family in1832, but the Wollankstrasse, was renamed several times. Nowadays its name is Tor-strasse, which reminds of the connection between the two gates in the past. Today, it is one of the most famous streets in Berlin, full of creative locations, boutiques, offices, ateliers and studios.

The theaters and cabarets, which were built here from the middle of the 19th century, were destroyed during the last war. Nowadays, people come to enjoy their leisure time, to relax, to read a book, to do sports, to meet friends or to enjoy Swiss specialties in the NOLA’S AM WEINBERG, which provides - located at the top of the green hill - a beautiful view over the park including its huge lawn, where mostly young people and families enjoy their leisure time. Some of them are having a picnic, some of them are doing sports, some of them are drinking a wine or beer and some of them are just relaxing in the sun. The small but nice pond with its plants is the right place for all visitors to cool their tired feet in the water. It’s time to say goodby for Andja and Gonzalo now. However, after an interesting walk and inspired by the little pond it’s also time to look for some possibilities to enjoy the leisure time on waters of Berlin.

Berlin Isn’t Only The Greenest City Of Europe.
Regarding the number of bridges, it ranks on place four in Europe. In Berlin exist more bridges than in Venice or Stockholm. It isn’t any wonder, because the city consists almost 60 km² water surfaces, including rivers, lakes and about 180 kilometer navigable waterways. This high amount of water, offers many possibilities for activities on the water or on the shore and riverside. In the center you can find countless bars and restaurants along the rivers. Some invite you to relax or to enjoy some drinks with your friends, while others offer dancing courses and a lot of other activities. Furthermore, a sightseeing trip on the rivers provides a complete new point of view towards the city. Besides, the many tourist boats and ships, which offer a round trip of one hour or two, there is another, better opportunity to discover Berlin from the water. and become a leisure time captain on a houseboat.
So Say Ahoy
Everybody has different needs. While some want to see as much as they can do in a short time, others want to enjoy a weekend with their friends or family and they want to enjoy the sun, the water as well as the silence far away from the daily routines. For all those - as well as actually for anybody – who want to move away and who want to leave the hectic everyday life behind, a houseboat trip is a perfect choice. The sting is, everybody could boat it. Because of German rules, you don’t need a special driving license. A short introduction it’s quite enough to start an unforgettable adventure. Whatever you want, if you want to go completely alone, if you want to go with your sweetheart or if you want to go with friends or family, you will find the right houseboats when you visit the very friendly team of

Since you are an architect, how did it come that you decided to build and to lease houseboats? We wanted to fulfill our dream of having our own houseboat. However, there were no boats that met our expectations in terms of design, functionality and quality. As an architect you surely put some great value into mixing function and design. What makes your boats so unique? A unique feature of our boats is the design itself. Furthermore, they contain a lot of technical know-how. Especially, the “Nautilus” or the “Vagabund” provide special features regarding technique and design, which go far away beyond standards house boats as well as bigger yachts. For instance, very exclusive features are the underfloor heating, stoves, huge panorama glazing, retractable sidebars and roof rails, electric actuators, sauna, folding roof cabins, heated outer deck, integrated frost-free system, drinking water treatment plant and and much more.

Traveling with our houseboats feels like traveling with your own living room on the inland waters of Europe. It provides a maximum of home life quality. If there is bad weather or winter, you still can see through the panorama glazing without restrictions. Even in our smallest boat “Nautino”, the control station is inside but offers, in clear days, the opportunity to slide open the front and side glazing to enjoy the feeling of freedom. All boats are equipped with spacious terraces up and down. The RV-like functionality, walkin but very stylish interior layout as well as the raft-like character, being close to the water, also elderly or handicapped people as well as families with little children have the opportunity to experience that great blend of boating and mobile holiday home without needing a driving license.
It’s a matter of common knowledge that Berlin is one of the greenest cities worldwide. However, a lot of people don´t know that Berlin is surrounded and flow through by a lot of water. The Baltic Sea is not far away and there are a lot of rivers, canals and lakes in Berlin and around it. These huge water-surfaces offer a lot of opportunities to have fun on the water and to enjoy the sunny days to the fullest. What tips do you have for our readers, which is the best route, where are the most beautiful places, which should have to be seen and to discover with your houseboat? We recommend the big water area around Berlin with its countless beautiful lakes, nature reserves. Also the passable residential areas, who lead to the center of Berlin as well as the incredible Mecklenburgische Seenplatte and the Müritz region belong to the highlight. Furthermore, trips to the “Scharmützelsee”, over the Havel to Potsdam and Brandenburg or to Rheinsberg are repeatedly described as memorable and fabulous from our charter guests.

A houseboat is perfect to enjoy time on the water with family and friends. What passenger capacities do the houseboats offer? Our charter boats are available in different styles: up to four persons or six people. We offer also an event boat, which can be booked by hour with a skipper, has a capacity up to 25 guests.
Are there other differences? For example, do you offer also different boat types for different personalities regarding equipment and furnishing? This question is difficult to answer, because we don’t think about a special lifestyle or look of a client, but on one’s special needs and purchase power. We want to offer our boats also to people with a normal job. All of them should have the opportunity to fulfil their dreams to own or to rent a houseboat. Therefore, we offer basic versions, which are really not expensive. You could purchase our boats also without driving package, for example as pool house, for your garden and guests. For those, who want to be flexible in summer as well as in wintertime, we offer boats with high comfort like underfloor heating, fireplace, sauna, solar system, electric drive and a fully equipped kitchen with an oven and a dishwasher.

The résumé of the Valeur Models
Victoria
About The Nautilus Houseboats I felt comfortable and very luxury on these boats. Until now, I liked doing little city boat trips. They are funny when you enjoy them with your friends. I was also sometimes seasick, but it was in Australia. I did a four day boat trip to the Whitsundays, where I got so seasick. I had to take tablets and couldn’t move. I got better after a day and could enjoy the scenery. However, you cannot become sick on a houseboat, because it is very stable and quiet. the trip with the houseboats was really special. It was such as to have your home with you on water. I will remember a special day with beautiful weather, a great photoshoot full of fun and a special location with great people. About her Favorite Holiday Place Within my holidays, I like to explore new countries and their cultures. I really liked Gilli island in Indonesia. The water is so beautilf, cristal clear and the food is amazing. The people are so nice and everything is so cheap. About the Summer in Berlin In Berlin we have no sea - of course - but I love the lakes. Especially in Stralau. Go and explore the surroundings of Berlin. Especially the lakes, gardens and the forest. Don’t plan too much, just go and explore. You will find amazing places. =) About Summer Fashion I like dresses. Long dresses for the night time. And sumary short comofortable dresses during day time.
Madie
How did you feel on the houseboats? I felt totally at ease, these were some pretty cool and welldesigned boats. I also enjoyed the location being set in a peaceful environment. What do you associate with the journey on a houseboat? Above all a fun time with good people around. Did you become already seasick sometimes? Luckily my stomach is pretty much resistant to that kind of sickness. How do you like to spent time during your holiday? I'm of the adventurous type and drawn to nature, so a mix of action and rough wilderness feels best to me as it grounds and re-energizes oneself. If I could choose right now I'd go on another glacier tour in the Swiss alps. Berlin provides also a lot of water. How do you like to enjoy your leisure time in Berlin? Berlin has so many sweet places to go to, it really depends on what's going on that day. But usually you'd find me at Plรถtzensee or Sisyphos. What are your favorite outfits onshore and in the water? I like it casual and easy-going, so on a summer day I'd just put on some airy shirt, 7/8 high waist pants and trainers, maybe hair ribbon or sunglasses, too. Watersides I prefer a simple bikini in warm colors and if it gets cold I throw over a cozy oversized shirt. What are your tipps for a nice excursion in Berlin or its surrounding area? If you're in a group of people, one of the most reasonable things to do is renting a small catamaran-boat for you and your friends and take a cruise on the Spree. Hauptstattfloss offers comparatively cheap party- floats for up to twelve people, with barbecue grill and fridge included.
Linn
Although I am Norwegian, i must be honest and say that i did not have a lot of experience with houseboats from before. But now that i have experienced it, it gave me a very positive impression. It has a lot to offer, whether you would like to rent it for a day for a small trip, for fishing, for floating around enjoying the beauty of the nature or if you want to organize a small vacation using it, or even hosting a party among friends or family. The options are many.

About The Houseboats I had a really lovely day with amazing people. The houseboats are amazing, comortable and flexible to use, for example enjoying the sun on the rooftop. It was a pleasure to be part of the team on this day. I think a houseboat trip gives freedom and a lot of time. time to take care of yourself and the people around you on the boat and enjoy the nature. About her Favorite Holiday holiday i love to relax. thinking about nothing, lying at the beach and listening to the sound of the ocean. would like to visit as many different countries as i can. dreaming of visiting the Maledive Islands as long as they still exist. About the Summer in Berlin if i don’t want go far away i just stay at the Spree and sit down in a chair and have some lovely hours with my friends. sometimes when we have time we are driving to a sea called Bernsteinsee where the water is crystal clear. About Summer Fashion I like dresses. Long dresses for the night time. And sumary short comofortable dresses during day time.
Also the most wonderful boat trip has an end and so another advantage of a houseboat becomes useful. Every nice place onshore welcomes you to moor your boat, for instance to celebrate the evening with your friends, good dinner and drinks.

LENA HOSCHEK SETS SAIL AND CELEBRATES A NEW FASHION CURISE
Aweigh! Anchors
This command was also heard during the Fashion Week this summer in Berlin. Inspired by sun and water, birds and waves, the order was given by style commander
Lena Hoschek
THE NEW SPRING/SUMMER 2017 COLLECTION
of the Austrian designer Lena Hoschek takes us to the Baltic Sea coast. With romantically playful and familiar feminine designs, the dressmaker delivers a fresh sea breeze with her maritime looks, even in the heart of the city. The models stroll along a sand-colored carpet resembling a promenade to the sound of seagulls and a relaxed singer-songwriter soundtrack.

THE COLLECTION TELLS THE STORY OF
a bathing culture that first emerged around the year 1900. Having been high-necked until that time, swimwear underwent a revolutionary transformation in the 1920s to 1940s to produce the revealing cuts and feminine silhouettes we know today.
Thanks to the new openness of its eachwear, this era conveys a sense of flair that stands for femininity and an own pure .
zest for life
THAT ZEST OF LIFE
which is also practiced on the island of Rügen, especially in the little seaside resort of Binz: a place of recreation and a source of inspiration known for its architecture, which is typical for the style of German coastal resorts at the turn of the century. These are the influences that are reflected in the summery designs of the AHOY collection. Apart from figure-hugging dresses with elegantly cut bustiers reminiscent of vintage bathing suits, the collection also has delightful playsuits with sailor collars and waist-hugging, broadly flared Marlene trousers.
WHAT IMMEDIATELY CATCHES THE EYE,
alongside the various cuts, is the unfailing love of detail that Lena Hoschek expresses when working with individual materials. For example, jersey and seersucker meet eyelets and cords, while delicate lacework is combined with sturdy cotton.
The  Maritime Theme also has prints with nautical elements such as corals, lobsters, sailing boats and anchors.
THE PALETT OF COLORS
is dominated by a wide range of marine nuances: sea-salt white, coral, pale denim tones and delicate pastel colors, all of which evoke the parasols and beach loungers of holidays past. To go with her nautical collection, Lena Hoschek has for the first time also designed a bathrobe for the traditional Austrian company VOSSEN. This unique creation marks the beginning of a design cooperation between the two companies which is set to commence in spring 2017.
THE SHOW
was brought to a brilliant close with the sensational couture dresses made from light and airy French lace embellished with azure blue and dusky pink embroidery.
“I so enjoyed literally diving into the maritime world, losing myself in the research and becoming addicted to the clichés. I’m already looking forward to a summer full of pleasure and zest for life and to the little sailor dress becoming impossible to navigate around!” says the talented designer. Lena Hoschek comple-
ments her customary perfected look from head to toe with specially made shoes from an Italian manufactory, sweet parasols and sailor’s caps as well as captain’s hats.

Brazil The
IRACEMA SCHARF FOR A BRILLANT APPEARANCE
The Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro ARE OVER, BUT A LABEL BRINGS THE TROPICAL HEAT OF BRAZIL TO US
Iracema Scharf
‘Hot’ isn’t Just the Right Word
TO DESCRIBE THE FEMININE BIKINIS AND SWIMSUITS. IT’S ALSO THE WORD THAT DESCRIBES THE UNMISTAKABLE LOGO FEATURING A FIERY CHILI PEPPER IN BRAZILIAN COLORS.
The Bright Colors
AND CREATIVE SWIMSUIT FASHION STAND FOR SEX APPEAL, GLAMOR, EXCLUSIVENESS AND A VERY SPIRITED TEMPERAMENT – THE STRONG COLORS, EXPRESSIVE PRINTS AND ELABORATE DECORATIVE DETAILS EMBODY THE LABEL’S UNMISTAKABLY PASSIONATE SIGNATURE.
Sophisticated Cuts
and numerous details are what make the iracema scharf designs such individual fashion pieces that seem more like body decorations than just beachwear. The Brazilian designer behind the label mixes the fashion DNA of her home country with the glamor of international beach hot spots. She places a special emphasis on luxurious decorative elements. They give these designer pieces a unique touch of glamor that will draw a lot of attention whether in Acapulco, Côte d’Azur or Ibiza. All of the products are clearly labeled “Made in Brazil” – the label’s special quality standard for beachwear.
Gorgeous Iridescent Colors Flowing and Secretive
this striking underwater world served as a fantastic source of inspiration for iracema scharf – the luxurious beachwear from Munich with its roots in Brazil. In this Summer collection, hazy aquatic blues blend together with the rich orange of anemones and delicate pink hues reminiscent of coral. Exotic fish and sea creatures provided the inspiration for her imaginative patterns and photo prints which were artistically manipulated to give something new and strange with high gloss finishes providing added luminosity. Brilliant colors and stylishly shimmering surfaces reflect the sunlight, giving real added impact to these high-fashion swimsuits and two pieces. Halterneck bikinis radiate the ocean’s loveliest blue hues. And yet designer Iracema Scharf does not just set great store by color, form and pattern, she attaches the most importance of all to the detailing. Fine gold chains adorn the straps of her asymmetric swimsuits, fine mesh inserts allow the skin to shine through seductively, and delicate frills along the necklines of her bandeau bikinis make them real favorites – in or out of the water.
Under The Sea
Cool and sporty but very summery is the fashion message sent out by the Summer 2016 beachwear collection. The designer combines a clear understanding of the language of form with powerful color contrasts and luxurious details such as gold clasps and embellishments. Delicate ruffles and draping add an especially feminine touch. In this summer, her portfolio ranges from stylish halternecks and skimpy bandeau and triangle bikinis to shapely swimsuits in a wide range of designs from the elegant to the sporty. Breezy caftans complete the summery range. The adjustable straps, ingenious clasps, high-quality materials and perfect fit make Iracema Scharf’s swimwear the ideal outfit for the beach – whether it’s for the alluring water nymph or the little mermaid. The color palette in the new iracema scharf beachwear collection for this summer includes, along-side pure white, expressive maritime shades such as sandy yellow, azure in all its shades and a dark maritime blue. The real highlights of this collection are the beautifully colored individual prints, reminiscent of octopus, seahorses, anemone fish or a turbulent seabed.
Underwater Love 
The beachwear collection of iracema scharf is inspired by the shimmering world found under water and the fascinating creatures that live there. Expressive prints, aquatic shades of blue and maritime detailing will make you yearn to spend a perfect day by the sea – or in the sea.

Freya
This Summer
Freya presents a beachwear collection with four themes. As typically for Freya, they have found the matching stories for each series, but read for yourself.
New Horizon
I surrender to the sun and find myself on a faraway beach. My spirit is adventuros, my soul is curious. And amongst the dunes, behind the palms, I discover exotic shapes and fresh colors. Sand runs between my fingers, the perfect fit enhances my figure. A new energy surrounds me. And I am free to play.
The Cactus House
A strong print story – ideal for the Freya Girl. Strong influences taken from the Sartorial Mega Trend. This botanical print is given a twist with these spikey desert dwellers as its inspiration. Clean and crisp white backgrounds, let vivid greens pop against pretty neon flowering. Cactus is complemented by our Virtue range – pops of neon color blocking, in neoprene look fabrics, and statement silhouettes that we take from Mega Trend, Visceral.
Wild
Animal skins are strong and bold. Given Sahara heat, recoloured in the hottest Red’s & Oranges. This was our biggest influence for our Sabor range, in colour spice. It’s also influencing our colour choice, Flame, for our staple crochet range, Spirit. Both ranges are complimented by Sphinx, also hosting pops of those all-important orange tones. Rumble is also a key range for this trend focus. An important mix’n’match story, showing tropical botanicals mixed with leopard print – the range also includes a statement one piece with leopard placement, for a fashion forward twist on a conversational print.
Stay Salty
We’re diving into the deep blue! Exploring marine life and coral reefs in all shades of the rainbow. Under the Sea is our key range here –a colourful conversational print, it carries the whole palette of the season! Deco Swim gets a recolour and new pieces added, all in cool Aquamarine with hints of ice white and silver. Atlantis and Electra boasts a sexier twist on the salty trend. Using cool aquamarine blue, teamed with bold black bindings, and mesh detailing. Heavily influenced from Active roots, Visceral was a key mega trend inspiration at the start of the season.

Inspired By A Unique Surfer-Girl ODD MOLLY WITH MIND, HEART AND CONSCIENCE
A skater girl in Venice Beach in the 80s, whose courage to break free from conventions and follow her own dreams was called Molly. This girl inspired some creative people to name their new company after her. So, in 2002, a brand was born called
Odd Molly
MOLLY
is more than just a part of the brand’s history; Molly is Odd Molly’s soul. Her values reflect upon everything the brand is doing. Odd Molly wants to be always inspired by those Molly, and fight to have more Mollys in the world.
ODD MOLLY ODD MOLLY
is a brand with a mind, a heart and a conscience. is also a loving brand with high ambitions, still a brand that will never take itself too seriously. loves to submit to its appetite for more, always being damn fabulous meanwhile. to believe that its customers, great women worldwide, possess the same cool core values. it is the way to celebrate the things that it loves the most. The people, the places and the moments is what brought Odd Molly to where it is today.
THE ODD MOLLY MIND ODD MOLLY WANTS FOR ODD MOLLY
GENDER EQUALITY Odd Molly believes in gender equality in leading positions. The brand is proud to be rated as Number 1 on Allbright's prestigous list of gender-equal companies for 2015. Odd Molly’s Board of Directors consists of 50 % women and 50 % men and the management consists of 60 % women and 40 % men. In everything they do, Odd Molly pays tribute to Molly. The brand wishes to inspire girls and women at all ages to break free from conventions and follow their own dreams. This is Odd Molly started the Odd Project; an initiative to fulfill girl’s lifelong dreams.
ENVIRONMENT
The textile industry has an impact on the environment, using a lot of water and chemicals. Thus Odd Molly aims to be a sustainable alternative for its customers and continuously work towards improvements. The brand believes that even if there is a long way to go, a small step is better than nothing. One of Odd Molly’s base values is that it doesn’t design fast fashion. The brand hopes that each produced garment shall be loved and used for many seasons.
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY Odd Molly is a member of Fair Wear Foundation, a non-profit independent organization, working together with its members to improve the labor conditions in factories within the textile industry. As a member, Odd Molly has undertaken to comply with the Fair Wear Foundation’s Code of Labor Practices and to continuously push the supplier towards improvements. Together with the audit teams from Fair Wear, the brand makes regular inspections at the factories producing its garments. The goal is to always have monitored factories that carry 90% of the brands production volume. Odd Molly believes that long term and tight cooperation with its suppliers is very positive for both parties. Some of the suppliers have been with Odd Molly since the company started, and most of them for many seasons. The brand visits each supplier on regular basis, normally twice a year. This close relationship helps to make the suppliers understand the importance and the benefits of implementing the Code of Labor Practices. Visit Fair Wear Foundation for more information.
WATER A challenge for the textile industry is the world's declining access to clean water. To contribute to a better and more efficient water management in the factories use by the brand, Odd Molly was 2010 one of 34 Swedish companies who formed Sweden Textile Water Initiative together with SIWI, Stockholm International Water Institute The project was a learning process around water issues in the supply chains of textile and leather retailers and it has given Odd Molly deeper knowledge about how the brand can contributes to more sustainable water use. Odd Molly also developed guidelines that address issues related to water efficiency, water pollution prevention, and wastewater in the supply chain.
ETHICS
• Odd Molly does not use what is classified as”real fur”, only skins from animals that have been bred for the food industry. Examples are skin and fur from sheep, goat, cow, alpaca and reindeer. • Odd Molly is since November 2012 a member of "Fur Free Retailers program". • The merino wool yarns used by Odd Molly are mulesing free since it comes from South Africa, where the method "mulesing" not is used. • Odd Molly do not accept live plucking of down feathers. The brands down suppliers are certified by IDFL. • Since Odd Molly doesn’t accept harmful shearing methods of Angora rabbits, the brand has decided to exclude angora yarns from its collections.

HAZE & GLORY
is an independent unconventional fashion label from Berlin/Germany, designing vintage inspired deconstructed premium garments.
BORN IN 2014
somewhere between the lush rice fields of Bali and the urban jungle of Berlin by a young collective consisting of international male model Andre Hamann and designer duo, surfers and boutique owners Rik and Kim Fiddické, the label gained a strong loyal following for its distressed rugged products. The name Haze & Glory came up on a 15 hours car drive during a surf trip through East Java.
HAZE & GLORY
chose to set its own agenda, deliberately going for a vertical business model selling straight to its customers exclusively through their online store as well as its own flagship stores. The brand stands for passion, rebellious entrepreneurship and creative self-expression.
VISION
Haze & Glory wants to deliver high end vintage inspired premium garments at an affordable price without exploiting people. The brand is reviving time consuming hand-made artisanal techniques. Instead of outsourcing its production the label started their own studio/workshop on the tropical island of Bali where 11 specialized sewers are working alongside the designers. This move guarantees radical transparency and secures the ability to produce limited edition and truly hand-made garments while taking care of fair working conditions.
VISUAL LANGUAGE
Inspired by the beautiful decay of all living things, Haze & Glory products are made from high quality fabrics that are beaten down, distressed, sanded, washed, roughened up, ripped‌ everything to create a beautiful edgy vintage effect of an old well-worn favorite piece. The color card is mainly focusing on a sea of blacks, greys, crisp whites, blues and dirty reds.
TODAY
Within the first 6 months in business Haze & Glory sold to customers in 16 countries and the clothing could be seen on top models, musicians and celebrities such as Jon Kortajarena, Mahogany Lox, Lena Meyer-Landruth, Douggie Poynter, Nina Nesbitt, Danielle Knudson, Nadine Leopold and Jena Goldsack. Opening its first international flagship store on Bali / Indonesia in 2015, Haze & Glory followed its retail success by opening its second mono brand store in 2016 in Berlin-Mitte. Over the past 2 years Haze & Glory developed into an underground niche brand with a loyal global following. Unique artisan products and authenticity have developed Haze & Glory into a label catering for different subcultures embraces all that is fashion, music and design, The color card is mainly focusing on a sea of blacks, greys, crisp whites, blues and dirty reds.
STORES
H&G retail stores give the brand the opportunity to showcase its universe and products in its entirety. By opening its own stores, the brand can transport its values and visual language unfiltered straight to the customer who gets a firsthand glimpse of what Haze & Glory is all about. The Haze & Glory stores take its interior cues from the spaces that inspire its founders: an eclectic mix between European metropolises and the tropical island of Bali.
INTERVIEW WITH KIM AND RIK FIDDICKÉ What is the Haze & Glory universe? A mix of palm trees, concrete alleys, surfing, working, traveling, shady characters, amazing friends, creative weirdos, more surfing, surreal chaos, more working & the occasional beer. Who do you design for? We design for the person that is tired of' the generic meaningless mainstream fast fashion. Full-stop. We don't really design with a certain person or target group in mind. Our customer base is extremely diverse and cannot be put in a box. What are you most proud of? Until today we raised and nurtured the brand without borrowing a single cent or getting any investor on board. We are involved in every single step of the brand, from designing, customizing, production, photoshoots, art direction, styling to store renovations and getting our hands dirty. We are a bunch of very diverge characters, building a great team of humans working together with passion on what we love.
How did you decide to start Haze & Glory? We simply felt that there was a huge gap out there in meaningful, hand crafted, distressed garments that were affordable. Where are you based and how to work together? All three of Lis travel pretty constantly. Kim and Rik are based on Bali, taking care of design, production and art direction, traveling to Berlin and Cape Town every year. Andre is based in Berlin•overseeing all international marketing and running the German store and online shop. We plan photoshoots, projects and campaigns together. The color card is mainly focusing on a sea of blacks, greys, crisp whites, blues and dirty reds.

Friendship And Fashion go In Hand Hand
When
VERO MODA ALL ABOUT SHARING AN EXPERIENCE
IT’S THE END
of August 2016, high summer. The photographer Åsa Tällgård shot a campaign, which was conducted during the long daylight hours of summer, beneath the rays of sunshine, and is played out against the dreamy backdrop of the summer of one’s dreams. It is the campaign of the Danish high-street brand
VERO MODA
TOGETHERNESS
The Danish high street brand VERO MODA is known for its accessible takes on everything the fashion-loving girl wants in her wardrobe. Transcending trends, fashion fads and the revolving wheel of the fashion world is the basis of the brand’s upcoming High Summer campaign.
THE VERO MODA TEAM
invited four Scandinavian models, all with busy schedules and even busier careers, to be exactly who they are on the set of the shoot. The thing is, Mathilde, Laura Julie, Line and Camilla are firm friends, having known each other for years. This is palpable in the images and, even more than that, made the whole experience of the shoot very special.
“The fashion business is a neverending stream of fast acquaintances, which is both good and bad, so it was a very special opportunity to be able to shoot with colleagues who are friends. Making images is a team effort, and it can mean a lot how your chemistry is with the photographer or the other models. Already knowing each other made such a positive difference, which is visible in the images. The whole team from VERO MODA brought good vibes with them, and it was a real energy boost to be at such a wonderful location with all these people�, Line explains.
MISSING FRIENDS, FAMILY AND BOYFRIENDS IS PART OF THE JOB FOR THE FOUR MODELS, AND SHOOTING WITH VERO MODA WAS A BREAK FROM CONSTANTLY FLYING SOLO. LAURA JULIE SAYS: “I NORMALLY WORK ALONE WHEN I AM BOOKED. I TRAVEL ALONE, I EAT ALONE AND I SLEEP ALONE. AT TIMES, IT IS VERY LONELY AND HARD. SO GETTING TO SHOOT VERO MODA’S CAMPAIGN WITH THREE DANISH GIRLS THAT I KNOW REALLY WELL HAS BEEN SUCH A HAPPY SURPRISE! I NEITHER TRAVELLED, ATE NOR SLEPT ALONE! IT WAS SUCH A HAPPY AND RELAXED EXPERIENCE.”
THE COLLECTION
The fact that the whole experience of the campaign was such a good one was also down to the Summer collection itself. Emanating the feeling of the perfect summer as well as festivals, beach and a boho lifestyle appealed to the models:
“I WAS SO IMPRESSED WITH THE COLLECTION,” SAYS MATHILDE. “PERFECT FOR FESTIVALS, THE BEACH, AND OBVIOUSLY THE CALIFORNIAN DESERT WHERE WE WERE LOCATED. WE ALL GOT TO PICK OUR FAVOURITES AFTER THE SHOOT, AND OUR LUGGAGE WAS HEAVY! ACTUALLY, TALKING TO YOU RIGHT NOW, I AM SITTING HERE ON THE CARIBBEAN ISLAND OF ST BARTS IN ONE OF VERO MODA’S BIKINIS.”
LETTING THE STYLES, THE TRENDS, THE LOCATION AND THE RIGHT PEOPLE COME TOGETHER HAS BEEN QUITE SOMETHING. AS LAURA JULIE PUTS IT: “FASHION, FOR ME, IS MORE THAN TRENDS AND EXPENSIVE BLING. IT IS SOMETHING I DO WITH MY FRIENDS. I SHARE FASHION WITH THE PEOPLE AROUND ME – EVEN WITH MY MOTHER AND MY BOYFRIEND.”
VERO MODA CATERS FOR FASHION-LOVING GIRLS WHO ARE CONFIDENT IN EXPRESSING WHO THEY ARE THROUGH THEIR FASHION CHOICES AND STYLING. GIRLS WHO KNOW TRENDS – AND WHO KNOW ENOUGH NOT TO BE SLAVES TO THEM. QUITE SIMPLY, GIRLS WHO ARE CONFIDENT IN EXPRESSING FEMININITY, COOLNESS AND STYLE. HAVING CHARACTER IS PART OF VERO MODA, AND LETTING THE FOUR MODELS BE WHO THEY ARE WAS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE CAMPAIGN VISION: “CAMILLA, LAURA, LINE AND MATHILDE ARE THE NEW GENERATION OF SCANDINAVIAN MODELS. THEY EXPRESS WHO THEY ARE ON SOCIAL MEDIA, AND THEY HAVE A CONFIDENT WAY OF MOVING EFFORTLESSLY THROUGH CAREER, FRIENDSHIPS AND FASHION. THE FOUR BEAUTIFUL GIRLS ARE FRIENDS IN REAL LIFE – NOT JUST ON THE CAMERA,” EXPLAINS LENE BRINCH LINDQUIST, VISUAL MEDIA RESPONSIBLE AT VERO MODA. “THIS ENSURES THAT THE IMAGES RADIATE SOMETHING VERY REAL AND HEARTFELT: IN A TIME WHERE EVERYTHING IS ABOUT THE INDIVIDUAL AND THE WORLD OF ‘ME’, WE CHERISH ALL POSSIBILITIES TO CELEBRATE THE ‘WE’ AND THE ‘US’. WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT WE AIMED FOR IN THE CAMPAIGN.”
THE CAMPAIGN IS AN ODE TO SUMMER, TO FRIENDSHIP AND TO PERSONAL STYLE, BUT IT IS ALSO ABOUT ACCESSIBILITY. VERO MODA AIMS TO BE AVAILABLE AT ALL THE LOCATIONS WHERE STYLE-CONSCIOUS FASHION LOVERS GATHER, AND CULTIVATING ACCESSIBILITY HAS BECOME A PRIZED ART FORM FOR THE BRAND.
“FASHION HAS BECOME A PERSONAL MATTER OF STYLE. THROUGH OUR IMAGES, WE EMBRACE OPENNESS TO NEW IDEAS, NEW PEOPLE, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY THAT EVERYONE IS INVITED TO OUR PARTY. WE DON’T PRACTICE EXCLUSIVITY, AND OUR NEW CAMPAIGN VERY MUCH EMBODIES THIS,” SAYS INTERNATIONAL MARKETING MANAGER, THOMAS BAY. THE COLLECTION IS AVAILABLE IN MANY SHOPS ALL OVER EUROPE.

Of course Noisy may, a label synonymous with edgy casuals and playful party styles, saw the potential in Lauren Wasser immediately: “We have not just been looking for a new model – we have been searching for our new muse. And in Lauren we found a person who stands for all things that are Noisy may; she’s rebellious, playful and has lots of attitude. Furthermore, she is very authentic which is an extremely important part of our brand,” explains Thomas Bay, International Marketing Manager.
IMMEDIATE LOVE
The introductory photo shoot with the 180 centimeters tall, blonde haired and blue-eyed girl was for the first collections for Spring 2016, which have also focused on playful and edgy trends, where shades of white alongside bold geometrics and of course lots of denim comprised the collection. The new muse immediately fell in love with the styles and the Noisy may universe. “I really think Noisy may matches my personality, and it represents everything that I am. I love that the brand is telling a story – hey, I’m living the story every day! All the styles are edgy, yet there is still a bit of femininity in it,” Lauren says and continues: “Any girl wearing it will know that she looks dope and that she can be proud of being a part of the brand. It is so cool and it is not just about the clothes – it is about what you stand for as an individual.”
AN INSPIRATIONAL MUSE
Noisy may is as always defined by the clothes, but also much inspired by the girls wearing it. A Noisy may muse is special, inspirational and she wants to tell a story – just like Noisy may always craves for. Being the New Noisy may muse doesn’t frighten Lauren at all: “To me, a muse is someone who inspires you and makes you think outside the box. Giving you a new view on beauty, life or fashion. I’m proud to be seen as Noisy may’s new muse, because even though people just see me as a pretty girl, I also have an edge and I’ve been fighting to be here. I think I emulate a lot of what the brand stands for,” says Lauren.
THE PERFECT MATCH
With the new Noisy may crush comes several photo shoots during the new year. With the latest shoot in mind, there is no doubt that the collaboration with Lauren is bound to be successful. “Lauren really took us by storm – she oozes of coolness, and she is such a lovely and very inspirational person to work with. With the fact that she really loved the entire collection we brought for the photo shoot, we just know that it is the perfect match. We can’t wait to do our next shoot with her,” Thomas Bay concludes.
BESIDES ITS NEW MUSE, THE YOUNG TONGUE IN CHEEK DENIM BRAND NOISY MAY LAUNCHED AN ACTIVEWEAR COLLECTION CALLED “NOISY MAY KICKS BACK”. ALL STYLES HAVE BEEN CREATED WITH ATHLEISURE AND LOUNGEWEAR IN MIND.

IT IS A CASUAL AND COMFORTABLE COLLECTION OF ACTIVEWEAR – AND CAN BE USED FOR BOTH EXERCISE AND RELAXATION,” SAYS THOMAS BAY, INTERNATIONAL MARKETING MANAGER FOR NOISY MAY. HE EXPLAINS THAT THE PRIMARY INSPIRATION COMES FROM STREET STYLE MUSES.
AUTHENTIC IMAGES “FOR THE COLLECTION, WE HAVE NOT LOOKED SO MUCH AT THE OVERALL TRENDS AS WE HAVE LOOKED FOR STREET STYLE INSPIRATION AND MUSES – WHICH IS ACTUALLY ALWAYS A BIG PART OF NOISY MAY WHEN DEVELOPING NEW STYLES OR COLLECTIONS,” SAYS THOMAS BAY. THE IMAGES FOR THE FIRST COLLECTION IS SHOT IN A CLASSIC SCHOOL GYM WHERE EVEN THE LOCKER ROOM IS BEING USED. THE CURRENT NOISY MAY MUSE, TOMBOY LAUREN WASSER, WAS OFFERED A FULL BASKETBALL SCHOLARSHIP IN THE UNITED STATES WHEN SHE WAS YOUNGER, BUT IN THE END, SHE CHOSE MODELLING OVER THE WORLD OF SPORTS. HOWEVER, IN THIS PHOTO SHOOT BOTH ARE COMBINED, ADDING EVEN MORE AUTHENTICITY TO THE IMAGES AND THE COLLECTION.

Quality and affordable Prices
FRENCH CONNECTION A FASHION-FORWARD CLOTHING RANGE
A fashion-forward clothing range with a quirky spin on design, priding itself on quality and affordable prices is offered by the brand
FRENCH CONNECTION
FOUNDED IN 1972
by Stephen Marks, French Connection set out to create well-designed fashionable clothing that appealed to a broad market. Having established a strong core clothing business, through unique design and a true sense of style the company has, over recent years expanded its portfolio into exciting new areas including men's and women's toiletries, sunglasses and opticals, watches and shoes. Driven by innovation and change, the brands strength lies in balancing new and exciting ideas with the basic promise of quality and affordability, established when the company was founded. Throughout this expansion and diversification, the principles have remained the same; designled products presented in a unique and innovative way.
BRAND IDENTITY
FRENCH CONNECTION has developed a brand identity, which is sexy, stylish and has attitude. FCUK is a short, sharp name to stand for French Connection United Kingdom and was being used on faxes between the brand offices in the UK and Hong Kong (FCHK) before being introduced across the company as a highly recognizable name and acronym to stand alongside the French Connection logo. A simple advertising campaign launched FCUK onto the British High Street in the spring of '97 and has since evolved to personify the casualwear offering of the French Connection brand. A controversial ad campaign featuring the simple line 'fcuk fashion' hit the headlines and when 'fcuk advertising' followed hot on its heels the attitude of the brand was established.
The whole business is born of a desire to be original, distinctive and accessible. Whether fcuk has shocked or amused, it certainly made you think.
Bold, witty and intelligent, it demonstrates how French Connection has given personality to its brand, a rare achievement on today's crowded high street. Since then fcuk has become interchangeable with French Connection as the brand name and identity.

NoDirty Gold GOLPIRA
FROM A DESIRE TO CREATE UNIQUE JEWELRY
Born from a desire to create unique jewelry out of sustainable material, a wonderful woman with an exciting own history has founded a jewelry brand, which goes its own responsible ways
GOLPIRA
FOUNDER AND DESIGNER GISA GOLPIRA
GISA GOLPIRA
- Founder and designer of 'GOLPIRA – No Dirty Gold', was raised in the rainforest of South America. At a very early age she came into contact with gold nuggets that now are the heart pieces of her jewelry collection. Ever since her parents worked as sustainable gold diggers in the jungle of Peru, Gisa started loving and respecting nature and understood the importance of an intact ecological system.
IN HER TEENAGE YEARS,
Gisa moved back to Germany to complete her education in Europe and study at the University of Fashion Technology in Düsseldorf. During her studies of fashion management, she worked as a model all around Europe and later as a fashion buying assistant in Berlin. Her interests concentrated on handcrafted jewelry.
'I don't want people to just buy my stuff, i want that my philosophy matters to them. I want them to believe in what I'm doing.'
GOLPIRA'S AESTHETIC
is influenced by inspirations from the distant world. The brand’s collection is dedicated to classic and extremely delicate design. The DNA of GOLPIRA reflects high craftsmanship and superior attention to detail and everlasting style. Gisa transforms natural gold nuggets and minerals into exclusive, unique and magnificently designed luxury pieces. Her jewelry is a sophisticated synthesis of form and meaning. Each unique piece has been highly crafted with precious solid gold and enriched with natural fair trade gold nuggets.
THE JEWELRY
is an homage to the treasures of nature. The classic and extremely delicate design is dedicated to women in touch with their feminine power. These women are a fierce force of nature, confident, sexy, energetic and completely in their element.
GOLD RUSH:
Gold nuggets are formed naturally over millions of years. Therefore, through erosion, no gold nugget resembles the other and every piece is unique. GOLPIRA’s gold nuggets are found in Papua New Guinea. Only the most premium grade gold nuggets are chosen to verify the quality and attractive patterns. GOLPIRA ensures that the gold digging process is done ecologically and socially correct. Every piece is handcrafted in Germany and hand inspected before shipping.
IN A WORLD
where recent gold mining contaminates drinking water and land with mercury and cyanide, destroys traditional livelihoods and displaces indigenous communities. GOLPIRA thinks it is time for sustainability and authenticity.
THE GOLD DIGGING PROCESS
Most consumers do not know where the gold in their products comes from, or how it is mined. Unfortunately, industrial gold mining is one of the most destructive industries in the world, due to the toxic chemicals used to extract the gold from the rocks, which are often dumped into open pits or waterways. The gold mining process can displace communities, contaminates drinking water, endangers the health of people, and destroys pristine environments. Producing gold for one single gold ring alone generates 20 tons of waste.
GOLPIRA THINKS IT IS TIME FOR SUSTAINABILITY
and authenticity. The parents of the designer from GOLPIRA are gold digging for 20 years. Unlike the industrial gold mines has their gold digging process a very low impact on the environment and supports at the same time the people who are living in the jungle. Fair trade is the priority.
FIRST OF ALL,
panning is done to locate the parent gold veins which are the source of placer deposits. Once the gold diggers found a gold vein the actually digging process can start. But before the gold diggers ask the tribe, who are living there, for their permission and if they want to work together hand in hand with the gold diggers. Usually the tribe arranges a kind of ceremony to ask their gods, if the gold diggers are good people. Only if the gods give the indigenous people a sign, that the gold diggers are welcome in the territory, the gold diggers start the gold digging process.
GOLPIRA’S GOLD DIGGERS
are using the dredge to dig gold. Although this method has largely been replaced by modern methods it is the most efficient way to dig gold ecologically correct, because the environment does not suffer at all. Basically the gold diggers move one rock from point A to point B, like the river naturally does in case of high water.
THE DREDGE
is a small machine that float on the on the water and is usually operated by one or two people. A suction dredge consists of a sluice box supported by pontoons, attached to a suction hose which is controlled by one or two worker beneath the water. This method has low environmental impact, as no stripping on vegetation or overburden is necessary and all process water is fully recycled.
WHEN THIS PROCESS IS DONE
the gold panning starts. It is a manual technique of separating gold from other materials. The pan is submerged in water and shaken, sorting the gold from the gravel and other material. As gold is much denser than rock, it quickly settles to the bottom of the pan. During the gold digging process no chemicals like cyanide or other toxic substances are used. We guarantee that the gold digging process is done environmental friendly. Besides that, the gold diggers sharing the cost with the indigenous people, which means the indigenous people work with them together and at the end the profit gets shared as well.
FACTS ABOUT GOLD NUGGETS FROM GOLPIRA
the FACTS ABOUT GOLD NUGGETS FROM GOLPIRA: - A gold nugget is a naturally occurring piece of native gold - Every natural formed gold nugget is unique - The gold nuggets are coming from Papua New Guinea - The Purity factor of the gold nuggets are 97% equal to 23k - Almost all gold nuggets found prior 1990 have been melted down - Gold nuggets are more rare than diamonds - Gold nuggets are worth much more than the standard gold value - The gold digging process is done ecologically and socially correct - Through wearing your pendant the gold nugget becomes more bright and shiny - The Designer of GOLPIRA does not touch the natural appearance of the gold nuggets
PENDANTS
All gold nuggets shown are from Papua New Guinea and kept in their original form. The design around the gold nuggets is handcrafted in Germany.

On the delicate chains, we find printings inspired by the Venetian chain, which cause optical illusions, while purist wing chains of different shades dominate the ring collection. The pieces of jewelry of a collection may thus be combined and supplemented individually, making visible the extent of the aesthetic, however simple elegance. In an experimental manner, metal shades are used and combined with printing techniques and color variations together with textile elements. The exclusive metalplated jewels, ranging between EUR 89 and 399, are solely produced in small German manufactures.
DECODE!
The jewelry collection DECODE! by JASMINA JOVY JEWELLERY is inspired by the Eighties’ box chain. It is characterized by expressive elements and reminds of a technical encrypted code, which can only be decoded through its wearer’s individuality. The broad collection comprises graphical necklaces, unisex rings, bracelets, and earrings proving impressively with their repetitive elements what an attraction is provided by continuity. The animal optics of the abstract fashion pieces is created with innovative methods of special imprints and gives vitality and expression. The matt and polished jewels obtain their luxurious finish by the metal plating in rhodium, black rhodium and 18 carats yellow gold. The prices range from EUR 99 to 489. The jewelry is produced exclusively in Pforzheim, Germany's gold city.

FORMED THE FRENCH BEAUTY INTO WONDERFUL AUSTRIAN DRESSES
BeautĂŠ en Provence La
Finally, we go back to the beginning of our magazine, when we walked with our French friend Andja through the streets of Berlin. Her homeland is beautiful at any time as well as anywhere. Especially the Provence inspires artist for ages. In this summer, the area in the Southern-East of France has deeply inspired the Austrian designer
Lena Hoschek
THE COLLECTION FOR SUMMER 2016
takes us to the Provence, with pieces - among all eye-catching dresses that transport the flair and unmistakeable spirit of this picturesque region to your place. The Mediterranean region in South-Eastern France, with its beautiful landscapes and rich agriculture, was the main inspiration behind this wonderful collection.
AN ARABLE REGION
famous for its distinctive countryside, the authentic rural idyll of Provence served as the creative stimulus behind the designs. a colorful collection featuring a diverse selection of patterns and cuts, with pieces carrying such evocative names as “Plaisir”, “Rendezvous” and “Paradis”.
THE RESULT
PAISLEYS, FLORAL DESIGNS AND EXCLUSIVE TOILE DE JOUY FABRICS, CHARACTERIZED BY THEIR DELICATE, LIFE-LIKE FLORAL AND PASTORAL SCENES, DOMINATE THE STRIKING PATTERNS FOR WHICH HOSCHEK IS RENOWNED.
INDEED, IT IS WITH THE FABRICS THAT THE STORY BEHIND THIS COLLECTION BEGINS: LENA HOSCHEK HAD REPRODUCTIONS MADE OF PROVENÇAL FABRICS DATING FROM 1850, WHICH SHE HAD DISCOVERED YEARS EARLIER AT A FLEA-MARKET.
“THE PROVENCE COLLECTION IS A WONDERFUL MIX OF THAT TYPICAL FRENCH NONCHALANCE AND ROMANTIC BOHEMIAN CHIC. AS A RESULT, THE DESIGNS ARE LESS STRICT, INSPIRED BY WOMEN LIKE ROMY SCHNEIDER OR JANE BIRKIN - WOMEN WHO SOUGHT TO LEAVE THEIR TROUBLES BEHIND THEM AND WEREN’T AFRAID TO EMBRACE ROMANCE. IT’S DEFINITELY A VERY RELAXED KIND OF CHIC - ROMANTIC WITHOUT BEING KITSCHY, JUST VERY NATURAL AND LAID BACK.” (LENA HOSCHEK)
CUSTOM-MADE STRAW HATS BY MÃœHLBAUER, FOR INSTANCE, AND FLORAL HEADPIECES BY MISS LILLYS HATS, COMPLETE THE COLLECTION. SOME PIECES ARE VERY DELICATE, SOME ARE MORE SUMPTUOUS.

AS EVER,
Lena Hoschek sets great store by perfect top-to-toe styling, down to the tiniest detail, with accessories from producers of cult products that the designer herself is “simply crazy about”, some of whom already look back on a longstanding cooperation with the Austrian label and truly represent its spirit.
THE ULTRA-FEMININE SLING-BACK PUMPS
designed by Lena Hoschek herself, or the rustic wooden clogs by swedish hasbeens, completed the look. Lena Hoschek launched her label, establishing her own unmistakeable style, almost a decade ago.
SINCE YEARS, THE LABEL ENJOYS A CONTINUOUS GROWTH, regardless of the latest trends. The line has garnered many admirers, many of whom attended the show, which was packed right up to the back rows.
