MAKING HISTORY

The Heer family business began in 1907 when

Benedikt Heer opened a saddlery in Lucerne,

Switzerland. As well as being respected for

its saddles, the company became known for

its exceptional horsehair mattresses which

were made to order for exclusive clients.

Today, Benedikt’s great-grandson Daniel is

at the helm, and he can be found making the

company’s items, using the traditional methods

employed by his ancestors, in the Manufaktur

Heer store and workshop on Rosa-Luxemburg-

Strasse. Mattresses still form part of the

range of products, and leather goods are also

crafted. Daniel Heer makes his bags using

specially selected hides from Germany and

the UK, with each item outwardly displaying

the stitching and exposed cut lines that would

be seen on a traditionally made saddle. For a

unique piece of manufacturing heritage, this

is an ideal place to visit. hl

JEWELS OF GERMANY

The story of Wempe began over

135 years ago with a young watchmaker,

Gerhard Diedrich Wilhelm Wempe. With

little starting capital, Wempe’s eye for quality

and skills in marketing soon got him noticed

by powerful clients. His watch designs were

beautiful and accomplished, and by 1907

his success had allowed him to open a store

in Hamburg. Over 100 years later the brand

now has stores across the world. The core

values of beauty and quality have stayed

paramount within Wempe, which is run by the

founder’s descendants. One of Germany’s most

prestigious watchmakers, the frm has expanded

and now ofers a wide range of fne jewellery.

This mesmerising bangle is a showstopping

piece that’s testament to Wempe’s supreme

craftsmanship and glittering heritage. hl

looks, and combine vintage with modern.

When I think of Berlin’s nightlife, it’s Kater

Holzig or Bar 25 that come into my mind,

along with feathers, hats, colours and fun,

a little bit like in a cabaret.’

Isherwood would be thrilled to hear that

the spirit of 1930s Berlin that he captured in

his stories is still alive and well in the city’s

elite clubs. Kater Holzig and Bar 25, both

located close to the Spree, were famed for

their parties, which went on for days at a time.

Though both have now closed, whispers

of a new nightspot from the creators of these

legendary clubs are circulating the city like

wildfre. If it should open, Lala Berlin’s

layered looks will be the perfect attire, and

will ensure that you are ushered straight in

to join the party.

Berghain is another Berlin nightclub with

a reputation that precedes it. Known for being

one of the world’s most impenetrable nocturnal

fortresses, the internet is rife with advice on

how to dress to get past the notorious head

bouncer, Sven. To protect oneself against the

elements outside the enormous former power

station, we recommend investing in a coat from

Patrick Mohr’s autumn/winter collection. Every

item is realised in the richest shades of blue, and

styles incorporate sequins, sheer fabrics, wool,

leather and suede. This is directional Berlin

design at its best.

In a recent article in the UK’s Telegraph

newspaper, John O’Ceallaigh, a regular visitor

to Berghain, recommended ‘don’t dress as

city’. As such, the luxury printed tracksuits

from Starstyling’s Qatari Vortex collection are

ideal. Founded in 2000 by Katja Schlegel and

Kai Seifried, the brand now has fve clothing

lines and a successful store in the Mitte district.

Starstyling’s latest collection is made up of

comfortable jersey separates printed with

geometric patterns, which are perfect for a long

night of dancing. As Schlegel reminds visitors:

‘The night has 24 hours!’ She believes that

Berlin’s nightlife is so special because, once you

make it past a club’s gatekeepers, looking good

comes second to embracing the unique

atmosphere. ‘Berlin is still one of the last places

where you can act like you want,’ says Schlegel.

‘There’s no judgement and no social pressure.

The focus is on the music.’

nightspot that evokes the atmosphere of

for you. For a taste of understated Berlin style,

Festive Fairs

Germany’s seasonal markets provide some of the most traditional experiences in Europe. By Stephen Doig

Germany’s cities are among the leading places in the world for modern retail, with stunning glass shopping centres ofering the latest fashion designs. But the country is also rightly famous for its traditional winter markets, which have been providing seasonal delights for centuries – it is thought that the frst market was held in Saxony in the 1300s.

Modern Berlin, with its cutting-edge credentials, turns into a winter wonderland towards the end of the year, with an impressive selection of markets. Some, such as those at Gendarmenmarkt and Potsdamer Platz, are situated in key shopping areas while others are more intimate and focus on handicrafts and home-made food.

The charming Nostalgischer Weihnachsmarkt (Nostalgic Christmas Market) at the Opernpalais boasts a range of pretty craft items, from cosy scarves to painted baubles and other decorations, while brandy

punch and sugar-roasted almonds will help

keep visitors warm. Here, the hectic mood

of modern Berlin seems to melt away. A short

distance from the centre of the city, a similarly

welcoming atmosphere can be experienced at

the Aventsökomarkt (Advent Eco Market) at

Kollwitzplatz in Prenzlauer Berg. From huts

illuminated with fairy lights, a wide range of

goods can be selected including gingerbread

and seasonal decorations. As carolers sing,

and perhaps as snow dusts the stalls’ roofs,

enjoy a cup of hot rum and a baked apple

with vanilla sauce.

A dash of Scandinavian culture comes to

Berlin at the charming Lucia Weihnachtsmarkt

(Lucia Christmas Market), also in the

Prenzlauer Berg area. Named after the

Nordic goddess of light, the market features

earliest days and replicas in an array of colours

walnuts, which are then painted by hand.

Germany’s business powerhouse,

Düsseldorf, is also keeping the winter market

While the capital has its wintry charms,

it is another German city, Nuremberg, that

boasts one of the best-known winter markets

in Europe, attracting two million visitors

each year. Under the watchful eye of the

Frauenkirche (Church of Our Lady) – which,

for the occasion, is lit up in radiant light – the

revelry unfolds in the central square of the

Old Town, adding to the authentic charm

of the experience.

Porsche Design is responsible for a wide range of desirable pieces, ranging from clothing to luxury luggage to standout smartphones. Ruairidh Pritchard visits the German label

Porsche Design

IN FOCUS:

Fashion and functionality are sometimes mutually exclusive: in many cases, they can be polar opposites. However when it comes to design that is practical as well as beautiful, the Germans are experts. Buying German has been a priority for many car lovers for decades, with Porsche being the go-to sports model for motor enthusiasts the world over.

More recently, Porsche’s line of clothing and accessories has brought fashionable consumers around to the idea of buying German. The collection was introduced in 1972 by Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, the founder of the renowned car. Relaunched in 2003 as Porsche Design, the collection now encompasses luggage, timepieces, homeware

and eyewear. Electronic products are also

included under the umbrella, such as a

range of high-end stainless steel BlackBerry

smartphones: the most recent, the P’9982,

is available in an array of fnishing options,

including a body which is backed with Italian

leather or with crocodile leather.

In 2010 Porsche Design launched its

Engineered Leather collection, created through

high-quality craftsmanship. The range has

featured a leather jacket made from nappa

lambskin, which was so exclusive it was limited

to 200 pieces worldwide. Other items include

a duvet jacket crafted from super-soft kidskin

suede and the Tec Flex leather jacket, which

incorporates covered zip-pockets and loops

for headphone cables.

Speaking about why the Engineered

Leather range stands out, Dr Juergen Gessler,

Porsche Design’s CEO, says, ‘It creates an

uncompromising link between functionality

and aesthetics and fts seamlessly into our

product portfolio. Our concept remains

unchanged: we don’t follow trends, we set

our own accents. The result is that our

version of casual chic makes our fashion

collections unique.’

Perhaps the best example of the brand’s

seamless combination of functionality and

fashion is its signature handbag, the TwinBag.

Created using the most exclusive leathers

and expertly crafted by artisans in Florence,

the TwinBag’s most distinguishing feature

is its innovative carrying concept – adjustable

handles which allow the bag to be worn either

as a traditional handbag or as a shoulder bag.

Each bag is produced from a single piece

of leather, which is then expertly stitched by

hand. The lining is made from the softest

Alcantara material and the metal fttings,

including chrome, silver, white gold and rose

gold, are fnished using advanced electroplating

procedures. This is the perfect combination

of Italian craftsmanship and German design.

The success of the TwinBag led to a

collaboration with the Berlin-based painter

Thierry Noir who took the TwinBag and

incorporated his own signature handpainted

‘heart faces’ to create a special edition which

was presented at the 2013 Art Basel Miami

Beach and then made available to purchase

from selected Porsche Design stores worldwide.

‘The speed of modern life has changed

our perception of the world and the only logical

conclusion is the combination of minimalist

design and functionality,’ says Porsche Design’s

creative director Thomas Steinbrueck.

‘Therefore, we have created a look that works

in harmony with this new living environment.

Structured but not constructed. Casual and

formal at the same time. In particular, we

have used the latest techniques of materials

development for the production of familiar

and yet forward-looking cuts.’

Four decades after its creation, it’s clear

that Porsche Design still follows the design

principles set by its founder, who maintained

that ‘if you analyse the function of an object,

its form often becomes obvious’.

In the case of Porsche Design, the form

is not only functional, and perhaps obvious,

but beautiful

Berlin enjoys one of europe’s fnest culinary

reputations, and boasts a host of talented

young chefs who are willing to embrace

diversity and invention. as Berlin has

an energetic atmosphere, fast food has

become popular, with quick, hearty and

inexpensive options available throughout

the city. Visitors with more time will fnd

much to tempt them among Berlin’s luxury

restaurants, where sustainable and locally

sourced produce dominates.

the city’s traditional cuisine is flling rather

than fussy; typical dishes include smoked pork

knuckle, curried sausage and meatballs. Berlin’s

gastronomy has been strongly infuenced by its

immigrant communities, especially those from

central europe, while more recent residents

have introduced turkish, arabic, Vietnamese

and italian cuisine.

Berlin now boasts more Michelin-starred

restaurants than any other German city. its

restaurant scene is diverse and ever evolving –

traits which are encouraged by Berlin’s relative

comfort with reinvention.

With more than 125 years of experience, Lloyd Concept

Store offers a range of footwear that follows current fashions

high-quality, made from the fnest materials and employing

the talents of skilled craftspeople. Note the distinctive red

fag that marks the heel of every pair of Lloyd shoes.

well as its own supremely comfortable styles. Its team of staff

is on hand to provide advice while visitors peruse the extensive

Birkenstock’s sandals are instantly recognisable, despite the

wide range of styles, colours and prints that are available. The

brand is known for providing comfort; its soles are made from a

fexible deep cork that spreads weight evenly across the whole

foot, while the thick leather uppers are deceptively soft.

remarkable setting for the Jewish Museum. Germany’s

as well as telling individual stories. The museum’s

collection includes a wide range of artefacts, historic texts

and paintings, ranging from historic posters to traditional

religious candlesticks and other idols. Be sure to visit the

temporary ‘bios[torah]’ installation demonstrating how robot

technology can be used to write the script of the Torah.

MY CITY: FLORIAN KOLMER

From exploring the London fashion scene to plastering

the streets of Berlin with posters of his work, Florian

Kolmer has had a varied and exciting career as

a photographer. Now focusing on portraiture, his

portfolio includes fashion campaigns and backstage

catwalk images. Although well travelled, Florian’s heart

belongs in Berlin. Here he tells Ximena Daneri why foriankolmer.com

‘I was born in Berlin and live in the east

ofthe city – I think Berlin is the best place

to live.

‘Apartment is a favourite store: from

the outside it looks like an empty gallery

space, but it is hiding one of the city’s

leading multilabel stores in the basement.

I think that Andreas Murkudis has the

best selection of brands, while Esther

Perbandt is a cosy store on Almstadtstrasse,

where Esther sells her own cutting-edge

fashion label.

‘One of my favourite restaurants in

Berlin is 3 Minutes sur Mer – a bistro

next to a gourmet restaurant, Bandole sur

Mer, from the same owner. It has reasonably

priced dishes, a good wine selection and

supreme entrecôte.

‘Mogg & Melzer is a deli and bistro,

right next to the fancy Pauly Saal, with a

kosher menu and the best pastrami in town.

‘When it’s time for my morning cofee,

I head to Café CK on Marienburger Strasse

– my friend Cory, who runs the place, is

a cofee–tasting champion. I go to Grill

Royal * p.90, when there has to be a big

piece of meat on the plate.

‘For a night-time gin and tonic I like to

visit the Neue Odessa Bar or Amano Bar,

while King Size Bar is a very good place

for celebrations – it’s the most glamorous

shoe-box-sized bar in the world.

‘Museumsinsel * p.91 provides the

biggest dose of culture I can get in the world,

and the Neue National Galerie has the

most spectacular exhibitions; designed by

Mies van der Rohe, the building itself is

worth looking at.

‘I love the Helmut Newton Museum

which includes many of the photographer’s

personal items, so it also tells the story of

the man behind the camera.

‘My top tip is to look away from the

tourist trail and check out a cocktail bar

in Schöneberg or perhaps go to one of

the horse races in Hoppegarten.’

54: From Dusk Till Dawn

от заката до рассвета

Салли МакИлхон рассказывает, как правильно одеться для веселой ночи в клубах Берлина, тем более что разнообразии стилей в столице Германии разительно - от яркого спортивного гардероба до кожаных и кружевных нарядов

С наступлением сумерек Берлин всегда преображается: еще в 1930-е писатель Кристофер Ишервуд колоритно описывал декадентские вечера в городских кабаре. А сегодня этот город превращается в признанную клубную столицу мира. Местные модные дизайнеры, конечно, считывают необходимость горожан и гостей города подбирать гардероб для самых разных вариантов ночного досуга. Вечеринка в эксклюзивном клубе Berghain или коктейли в Das Stue – в Берлине непременно найдется хотя бы один бренд, уже придумавший наряд именно для вас и вашего вечера.

Расслабленная атмосфера этого города стала источником вдохновения для дизайнера Lala Berlin Лейлы Пиедайеш: «В Берлине ощущается дух свободы, а ночью – особенно. Здесь просто нет правил. И это ощущение независимости пронзает меня буквально каждый день». Новая коллекция марки отражает ее любовь к нонконформизму: необычный подход к изысканному ночному гардеробу проявляется через соединение, на первый взгляд, несопоставимых вещей. Мини-платья с кружевными вставка, леггинсы и серебряный блейзер – так в 21 веке выглядит прекрасная андрогинность. Добавьте к этому свободные брюки и укороченные топы с разноцветными разводами, леггинсы с принтами в виде слов и пальто мужского кроя.

Эти комплекты как будто специально собраны для посещения эксклюзивных ночных клубов Берлина: вам будет тепло в неизменных очередях на входе, но и выглядеть «слишком одетым» для клубных танцев тоже не придется. Лейла Пиедайеш утверждает, что самую суть берлинской ночной жизни составляют люди и мода: «Это ни на что не похоже, - утверждает она. – Посетители клубов умудряются смешивать все стили и сочетать винтаж с авангардом. С берлинской ночной жизнью у меня ассоциируются клубы Kater Holzig или Bar 25, а еще перья, шляпы, цветы и веселье – то есть немного от кабаре». Ишервуд, наверное, был бы рад услышать, что дух Берлина 1930-х, который он так тщательно зафиксировал в своих повестях, по-прежнему царит в элитных клубах столицы.

Оба бара, которые так по душе дизайнеру Lala Berlin, располагались на набережной Шпрее и прославились вечеринками, которые могли не прекращаться несколько дней. И хотя оба сейчас не работают, по городу уже расходятся слухи о новых проектах авторов этих легендарных заведений. Когда откроются новые бары, многослойные наряды Lala Berlin помогут вам органично влиться в атмосферу вечеринки.

Еще один берлинский клуб Berghain прославился своей неприступностью: в Интернете можно прочитать множество советов по дресс-коду, чтобы получить заветное разрешение на вход от ночного стража заведения по имени Свен. Вам предстоит ожидание своей очереди у входа в огромное здание бывшей электростанции, поэтому мы рекомендуем стильно утепляться с помощью пальто из коллекции осень/зима Patrick Mohr. Насыщенные оттенки синего, блестки, тонкие ткани, шерсть, кожа и замша – все это компоненты истинного берлинского стиля в лучшем его проявлении.

Стивен Дойг рассказывает о рождественских ярмарках Германии, где можно познакомиться с европейскими традициями и порадовать себя очаровательными подарками и домашними сладостями

Немецкие города занимают ведущие позиции на шоппинг-карте мира, благодаря многочисленным современным торговым центрам, где всегда найдутся модные новинки. Но больше всего путешественников притягивают

60: Festive Fairs

Ярмарка радости

завсегдатай Berghain Джон О’Келли дал совет, основанный на собственном опыте: «Не стоит одеваться так, будто вы собираетесь провести ночь в клубе: Берлин – город повседневности». Как нельзя лучше этой рекомендации отвечают спортивные костюмы с принтами из коллекции Qatari Vortex марки Starstyling. Катя Шлегель и Кай Сейфрид открыли ее еще в 2000 году, а теперь под этим брендом выпускается пять линий и успешно работает магазин в Митте.

В новой коллекции Starstyling вы найдете удобные вещи из джерси с геометрическими принтами для танцевального марафона. «Берлинская ночь продолжается 24 часа!» - остроумно напоминает Шлегель своим покупателям. По ее словам, ночная жизнь в столице Германии ни на что не похожа: когда вы преодолели клубного привратника, то стильный образ меркнет по сравнению с уникальной атмосферой заведения. «Наш город – одно из немногих мест, где можно делать то, что вам действительно хочется, - говорит дизайнер. – Здесь вас не будут судить, нет никакого социального давления. Все внимание – только музыке».

Если вы предпочитаете потягивать коктейли в элитном ночном заведении, навевающем атмосферу времен Ишервуда, то вам в Das Stue. Журнал Condé Nast Traveller недавно назвал его одним из лучших баров мира. Для него будет уместным лаконичный берлинский стиль, как в новой коллекции Карла Лагерфельда. Среди многочисленных ярких и женственных образов - металлические мини-платья золотого оттенка с перчатками без пальчиков, а также переосмысленный Лагерфельдом классический смокинг в комплекте с сумкой мандаринового оттенка с ремешком в форме шнура.

Немного драматизма вечеру придадут наряды от DSTM: в притягивающих взгляды платьях сочетаются кожа и шелк насыщенных оттенков – шампанского и черного. Дизайнер марки Джен Гилпин думала о танцах, работая над коллекцией: «Мы хотели продемонстрировать красивые и необычные наряды, которые, в то же время, удобны для активного образа

жизни». По мнению Гилпин, ночью в Берлине «всегда начинаются приключения». Когда на столицу спускаются сумерки, вам достаточно выбрать вечерний наряд, и все самое интересное – еще впереди.berghain.de, das-stue.com, lalaberlin.de,patrick-mohr.com, starstyling.net,karl.com, dont-shoot-the-messengers.com

традиционные рождественские рынки: считается, что они возникли в Саксонии в начале 14 века – и с тех пор это стало неотъемлемой частью европейских новогодних праздников.Динамичный Берлин, со всеми его модными заведениями, ближе к концу года в мгновение ока превращается в зимнюю романтичную сказку. Повсюду открываются колоритные ярмарки: некоторые расположены в самом центре, например, на Gendarmenmarkt и Potsdamer Platz, а другие – в более укромных точках города. Но на каждой из них обязательно присутствуют традиционные ремесла и рождественские угощения.

На очаровательном рынке Nostalgischer Weihnachsmarkt на площади Opernpalais в центре внимания ручное творчество мастеров – это и уютные шарфы, и расписные сувениры, и разнообразные декоративные вещицы. А горячий пунш на основе бренди и жареный миндаль прекрасно согревают в холодный сезон. Такое ощущение, будто лихорадочная жизнь современного Берлина на время остановилась, чтобы уступить место неспешной атмосфере зимнего праздника.

Если немного отойти от центра города в сторону района Пренцлауэр-Берг, то вы попадете на небольшую, но очень приятную ярмарку Aventsökomarkt на площади Kollwitzplatz. Можно бесконечно долго бродить среди лавочек, украшенных уютными огоньками, и рассматривать рождественские подарки – от пряников до праздничных украшений для дома. Подпевая рождественским песням и, если повезет, даже радуясь новогоднему снегу, согревайтесь горячим ромом и запеченными яблоками в ванильной глазури.

Дух Скандинавии привносит в мультикультурный Берлин очаровательный рынок Lucia Weihnachtsmarkt, который также располагается в Пренцлауэр-Берге. Он получил свое название в честь северной богини света, а на его прилавках – скандинавские и немецкие продукты, напитки и сувениры.

Каждый год около двух миллионов

человек устремляется на Нюрнбергский рождественский рынок, который проводится на одном и то же месте с начала 17 века. Шумное веселье разворачивается в аутентичных декорациях – на центральной площади Старого города, у подножия церкви Frauenkirche, которая по такому случаю украшена огнями. Каждый год торжества начинаются со зрелищной церемонии с участием трубачей и рождественского хора. С самого начала у этой ярмарки появился собственный символ – ангел с золотыми крыльями, и практически в каждой лавке можно приобрести такую маленькую фигурку на память.

Рядом со стеной Старого города располагается подворье Handwerkerhof, где мастера встречают гостей в своих стилизованных деревянных домах и продают композиции из стекла, изысканные кованые произведения из металла и другие образцы народных ремесел. Обсудить увиденное будет особенно приятно за чашкой горячего шоколада в Schoggladn Hoisla. В качестве десерта рекомендуем zwetschgenmännla – оригинальные, расписанные вручную фигурки из чернослива и грецких орехов на каркасе из проволоки, которые стали местной традицией в 18 веке.

В Дюссельдорфе, деловом центре Германии, также проводится свой зимний рынок. Вдоль Schadowstrasse выстраиваются празднично украшенные прилавки, на которых можно найти и деревянные фигурки ручной работы, и миниатюрные домики, и другие ремесленные поделки. На Angel’s Market в Старом городе располагаются лавки в стиле ар-нуво, где продают красивые спиральные восковые свечи, елочные игрушки и венки из остролиста и сосны, переплетенные красными лентами.

Даже если вы всегда относились к новогодним праздникам с изрядной долей иронии, уверены, вы не сможете устоять перед очарованием рождественских рынков Берлина, Дюссельдорфа и Нюрнберга.visitberlin.de, tourismus.nuernberg.de,duesseldorf-tourismus.de

Руарид Притчард рассказывает о немецком бренде Porsche Design, на счету которого множество дизайнерских предметов – от роскошных чемоданов до стильных смартфонов

Считается, что мода и функциональность находятся на противоположных полюсах и взаимно исключают друг друга. Однако, когда речь идет о практичном и одновременно красивом дизайне, немецкие бренды неизменно оказываются в лидерах. Выбирать немецкое – это стало правилом для многих поклонников хороших автомобилей, поскольку именно Porsche всегда воплощал идеал спортивной модели в глазах миллионов людей по всему миру.

В 1972 году создатель знаменитого автомобиля Фердинанд Александер Порше представил под брендом Porsche коллекцию одежды и аксессуаров – и тем самым заразил идеей выбирать немецкое и знатоков моды. С

66: Porsche Design

В фокусе2003 года серия выходит под маркой Porsche Design, и теперь ее дополнили чемоданы, часы, домашняя утварь и оправы для очков. Компания также занимается разработкой дизайна электронных устройств. Особое место среди них занимают технологичные смартфоны BlackBerry из нержавеющей стали: например, новая модель P’9982 доступна в корпусе из итальянской кожи, кожи аллигатора и других роскошных материалов.

В 2010 году бренд Porsche Design открыл собственную серию кожаной одежды и аксессуаров высочайшего качества. Ее вершиной стал жакет из мягкой кожи ягненка, эксклюзивность которого подтверждается тиражом: выпущено всего 200 экземпляров на весь мир. Кроме того, особого внимания в этой коллекции достойны куртка-пуховик из лайковой замши и кожаный жакет Tec Flex с карманами на молнии и петлями для наушников.

уникальность этой коллекции: «Она создает безусловную связь между функциональностью и эстетикой и органично вплетается в нашу концепцию. Базовая идея остается неизменной: мы не следуем за модными веяниями, а расставляем собственные акценты. И наше понимание повседневной роскоши придает коллекциям одежды уникальность».

Пожалуй, наиболее эффектно стиль и функция слились в фирменной модели TwinBag. Наибольший интерес представляет ее основная конструктивная особенность – регулируемые по длине ручки: закрепленные особым образом, они позволяют носить сумку и в руках, и через плечо. Лучшие мастер Флоренции вкладывают все свои умения в тщательную ручную обработку цельных кусков эксклюзивных видов кожи. Для подкладки используется мягчайшее волокно алькантара, а металлическая гарнитура из хрома, серебра, белого и розового золота обрабатывается с помощью гальванических воздействий. В результате, TwinBag гармонично объединяет итальянское мастерство и немецкий дизайн.

Сумка оказалась востребованной, и следующим этапом стало сотрудничество Porsche Design с берлинским художником Тьерри Нуаром: он вручную расписал TwinBag своими знаменитыми стилизованными сердцами. Обновленная версия легендарной модели была презентована на ярмарке Art Basel Miami Beach в 2013 году, а затем поступила в ассортимент избранных салонов Porsche Design в разных городах.

«Современный ритм жизни изменил наше отношение к миру, и единственной адекватной реакцией на это может быть сочетание минималистского дизайна и функциональности, - размышляет креативный директор Porsche Design Томас Штайнбрюк. – Таким образом, созданный нами образ оказался созвучен этому новому стилю жизни: понятный, но не искусственный, повседневный и одновременно официальный. В частности, мы применяем новейшие техники обработки материалов, поэтому наши модели кажутся

и хорошо знакомыми, и в то же время авангардными».

Вот уже четыре десятилетия Porsche Design по-прежнему следует дизайнерскому принципу своего основателя: «Чтобы создать форму объекта, необходима внимательно рассмотреть его функцию». И эта компания своим опытом последовательно подтверждает: форма должна быть не только функциональной, но и красивой.porsche-design.com

SHOP杂志编辑Sally McIlhone发现，从明快奢侈

的运动装到皮革和蕾丝制品，柏林入夜后的时尚就

和这座城市的夜生活一样迷人。

在夜幕降临以后，柏林的魅力越发显现出

来。20世纪30年代，作家克里斯托弗·依舍伍德

（Christopher Isherwood）描述了一个个颓废、充

满了卡巴莱歌舞的夜晚。而今天，这座城市被誉为

世界泡吧之都。

柏林的时尚设计师意识到，本地人和游客们希

望依据活色生香的夜生活来打扮自己：无论你是想

在高大上的Berghain夜总会挥洒自己的魅力，还是

去最近被《康泰纳仕旅行者》评为世界最佳新酒吧

之一的Das Stue啜饮几杯鸡尾酒，总有一个柏林品

牌可以让你全身上下无懈可击。

这座城市轻松的氛围启迪了Lala Berlin的设计

师Leyla Piedayesh。“在柏林你感受到的是自由，

特别是在晚上。这里没有规则。这种自由的感觉就

是我的灵感之源。”该品牌的最新系列将看似无关的

部分结合起来，为精品晚装添加了一丝前卫感，恰如

其分的展现了这种对于特立独行的喜爱。蕾丝拼接

的迷你连衣裙穿在PVC打底裤外面，上身再套一件

银色西装外套，营造出时髦的摩登中性范儿。在别

的地方，油墨四溅的彩色印花喷在宽松长裤和露脐

短上装上，打底裤印上大胆的字母图案，男性化的外

套搭在模特的肩膀上，酷劲十足。

在排队进入这个城市最高端的夜总会的时候，

美文翻译

54: From Dusk Till Dawn

从黄昏到黎明

这些都是适合的着装，保暖的同时可以让你披上夜

生活的外衣。Piedayesh相信柏林夜生活的有趣氛

围在于人与时尚的融合。“这很特别，”她说，“人们将

所有类型的外形混合在一起，让复古与摩登相结合。

当我思考柏林的夜生活的时候，Kater Holzig 酒吧

或Bar 25跃入我的脑海里，还有羽毛、帽子、色彩和

欢乐，有点像置身于一场卡巴莱歌舞中。”

依舍伍德会很高兴的听到，他故事中所捕捉到

的20世纪30年代的柏林精神仍然活跃在城市的精

英俱乐部里。Kater Holzig 和Bar 25都靠近施普雷

河，都以其一次持续数日之久的派对闻名。尽管两家

酒吧现在都已经关闭，关于这些传奇俱乐部缔造者

将开设一家新夜店的流言如野火一般围绕着这座城

市。如果这个夜店开放营业，Lala Berlin颇具层次

感的衣着将会是你最完美的装束，你一定会被直接

迎向店内，参与派对狂欢。

Berghain是另一家久负盛名的柏林夜总会。这

家夜总会以拥有世界上最坚不可摧的夜间堡垒之一

而闻名，网上充斥着如何打扮以越过夜店臭名昭著

的保镖头儿Sven的攻略。夜店是由一座旧电厂改造

而来的。如何与这座庞然大物外的“神魔鬼怪”抗

衡？我们建议选择一件Patrick Mohr的秋冬季系

列外套。每一件外套都运用了最丰富的蓝色色调，

在风格上融合了亮片、纯织物、羊毛、皮革和绒面。

这是具有指向性的柏林设计，并以最好的状态呈现

出来。

在最近英国《电讯报》的一篇文章

中，Berghain的常客John O’Ceallaigh建议“不

要穿得好像晚上要出去一样——柏林是一个休闲

的城市”。如此一来，Starstyling的Qatari Vortex

系列奢华印花运动服就会成为理想的选择。由

Katja Schlegel和Kai Seifried创立于2000年，该

品牌拥有5条服装生产线和一家位于Mitte区、经营

良好的店铺。Starstyling的最新系列包括印有几何

图案的针织套头衫，舒适合身，非常适合通宵摇摆

的跳舞马拉松。Schlegel提醒访客：“晚上有24个

小时！”她相信柏林的夜生活之所以如此特别是因

为：一旦你越过了俱乐部的守门人，靓丽的外形将

会退居其次，拥抱独特的氛围才是首要的。“柏林

仍然是你可以随心所欲活动的最后的几个地方之

一，”Schlegel说，“没有评头论足，没有社会压力。焦

点就是音乐。”

如果你喜欢在一家精英夜总会啜饮一杯鸡尾

酒，重温依舍伍德全盛时期的氛围，Das Stue就是

你该去的地方。想尝试低调的柏林风格，时尚奇迹卡

尔·拉格菲尔德（Karl Lagerfeld）的最新女装系列

包含了众多激烈又不失女人味的选择。一条金属质

感的金色迷你连衣裙配上无指手套，更显强硬；拉

格菲尔德让经典的燕尾服与橘色挎包搭配在一起，

领带状的包带精巧别致。对于那些喜欢让晚装更具

戏剧性的人来说，DSTM的最新系列混合了丝绸与

皮革，打造出隆重的香槟色和黑色连衣裙，保证回

头率惊人。该品牌的设计师Jen Gilpin承认这个系列

中的单品是在跳舞时受到的启发：“我们需要一些美

丽而有趣、穿起来又舒服的东西。”至于柏林入夜后

的诱惑力，Gilpin强调道“你总能找到一种冒险”。

无论你的晚装美学是什么样的，当暮色降临柏林，一

场冒险之旅正蓄势待发。

节日盛会

从手工艺品到私房甜点，德国的季节性市集为您带

来欧洲最传统的购物体验。Stephen Doig报道

德国的各大城市都拥有世界领先的现代零售业态，

令人赞叹的玻璃幕墙购物中心内贩售着时下最新

潮的时尚产品。然而该国同样以传统冬日集市闻名

于世，在那里可以寻觅到畅销几个世纪的季节性

美食——历史上的第一个市集被公认于14世纪在

Saxony举办。

拥有新潮前卫名片的摩登柏林，在每年末

会化身冬日仙境，各种声色动人的市集让人眼

花缭乱。有些市集就位于主要购物区域，譬如在

Gendarmenmarkt市场与Potsdamer Platz广场举

办的那些，而某些市集则更具亲和力，专注于手工艺

品与家庭自制美食。

引人入胜的Nostalgischer Weihnachsmarkt

市集位于Opernpala is，以贩售漂亮的手工艺品

见长，从舒适的围巾到彩绘圣诞球，还有其他各

种装饰品，购物的同时还有白兰地果酒与烤杏仁

为到访者们增添暖意。位于Prenzlauer Berg的

Kollwitzplatz广场的Aventsökomarkt市集，距离

市中心只有咫尺，但同样可以体会到温馨的节日氛

围。从被童话灯光点亮的小屋，到包括姜饼与节日装

饰物在内的玲琅满目的商品。不妨随着颂歌演唱者

们开始轻吟，或许还伴随着飘落屋顶的雪花，喝上一

杯温暖的热朗姆酒，配以裹着香草酱的烤苹果。

在魅力十足的Lucia Weihnachtsmarkt市集，

您则可以在柏林感受到一丝斯堪的纳维亚文化的气

息，这个市集也位于Prenzlauer Berg地区。这个以

北欧神话中光之女神的名字命名的市集贩售斯堪的

纳维亚与德国的美食、饮品与礼物。

纵使德国首都有着独特的冬日魅力，但欧洲最

著名的冬日市集实则位于另一座德国城市纽伦堡，

这里每年吸引着两百万人到访。在圣母教堂（在这

个时节会被灯光点亮）的光辉照耀下，狂欢的人们聚

集在老城的中心广场，为您带来最原汁原味的节日

体验。

纽伦堡冬季市集据传在17世纪就已开始举行，

号手们与颂歌演唱者们以规模宏大的开幕式为市集

拉开序幕。从久远的年代起，金色天使就成为这个

市集的象征，各种颜色的仿制品都可在此购得。在

城墙背后的Handwerkerhof有一片庭院，人们可以

在此观摩工匠们在木屋内工作，无论是吹制美丽绝

伦的玻璃制品，还是制作精细复杂的金属制品。不

妨在庭院中的Schoggladn Hoisla买一杯热巧克力

取暖，离开前则别忘了去看看zwetschgenmännla。

这些可追溯到18世纪的人偶全部以手工塑成，以铁

线固定造型并（不同寻常地）覆以李子与核桃。

在德国的商业重镇杜塞尔多夫，冬日市集的传

统同样得以延续。若要找寻艺术品，可径直前往位

于Schadowstrasse的宽敞市集，在那里可以找到手

工制木头人像与迷你屋。在城中旧城区的Angel’s

Market，新艺术风格的摊档贩售着精美的螺旋形状

的蜡烛，手绘圣诞树装饰，与使用冬青与松枝制作、

并点缀猩红色丝带的花环。

无论是到访柏林、杜塞尔多夫还是纽伦堡，即

使那些对节日最漠不关心的人，也会被德国冬季市

集欢乐氛围所感染。

从豪华的行李箱到出色的智能手机，保时捷设

计缔造了诸多让人垂涎三尺的单品。我们的编辑

Ruairidh Pritchard拜访了这个德国品牌。

时尚和功用性有时候相互排斥：在很多情况下，它们

可以成为对立的两极。然而在谈到既实用又美观的

设计时，德国人就是专家。几十年来，购买德国制造

一直是许多汽车爱好者优先考虑的选择，而保时捷

更是成为了全世界机车狂热者眼中跑车的典范。

最近，保时捷的服装和配饰产品线又让时尚消

费者们开始考虑购买德国制造。该系列是由这个著

名的跑车品牌创始人费迪南德·亚历山大·保时捷

（Ferdinand Alexander Porsche）在1972年推出

聚焦：保时捷设计

的，并在2003年以“保时捷设计”的名义重新发布。

现在，这个系列的产品包括行李箱、腕表、家居用品

和眼镜。电子产品也被囊括在内，比如各种高端不

锈钢的黑莓智能手机：最新推出的P’9982系列有

多款机身饰面可供选择，其中包括意大利皮革和鳄

鱼皮的手机背面。

2010年，保时捷设计推出了其由高品质制造

工艺打造的精选设计皮革产品。该系列的主打产品

之一是一件由纳帕小羊皮制作的皮夹克，这款尊贵

独享的夹克全世界仅限量200件。其他的单品包括

了一款由超软小山羊皮绒面制造的羽绒外套和Tec

结合在一起。

接。我们的理念保持不变：我们不追随潮流，我们只

创造属于自己的品味。其结果是，随意潇洒的风格让

我们的服装系列独一无二。”

最能够展示出该品牌将功用性与时尚无缝对

接的例子可能是其招牌手袋——TwinBag。采用

最高档的皮革为原料，经过佛罗伦萨工匠们的精雕

细琢，TwinBag最显著的特点是其创新的携带概

念——可调节式手柄可以让这款包既可以作为传统

的手袋使用，又可以被当作肩包。

每一款包都是由一整块单独的皮革制成的，

然后由娴熟的工匠手工缝制。内衬由最柔软的

Alcantara材料制成，金属配件则包括铬、银、白金

及玫瑰金，并采用先进的电镀工艺抛光。这堪称意

大利工艺和德国设计的完美结合。

TwinBag的成功促成了保时捷与柏林画家蒂

埃里·比诺（Thierry Noir）的合作。比诺将自己

招牌的手绘“心形脸”融入到TwinBag里，创作出

TwinBag特别版，并在2013年的巴塞尔迈阿密艺

术博览会展出。随后这款特别版的包在全世界选定

的保时捷设计专卖店出售。

“现代生活的速度改变了我们对世界的看法，

唯一合乎逻辑的结论是要将简约的设计与功用性相

结合。”保时捷设计的创意总监托马斯·施泰因布吕

克（Thomas Steinbrueck）说，“因此，我们创立了

一种风格，可以与新的生活环境和谐共存。它有结

构但又不能被定形，可以同时兼具休闲与正式。特别

是，我们运用了最新的材料研发技术，用于生产既让

人熟悉、又具有前瞻性的剪裁。”

在保时捷设计创立后的四十年，很显然它仍然

遵循了其创立者所设定的设计原则，是他主张“如

果分析一个物体的功能，其形式会变得显而易见”。

就保时捷设计来说，其形式不仅仅具有功用性，可能

还很明显，也十分美观。

COOL QUILTING

German designer Karl Lagerfeld is never

seen in anything but monochrome, and his

black suits and ties form a signature look that

makes him instantly recognisable. The creative

director at Chanel and Fendi, Lagerfeld

also runs his own eponymous label and,

unsurprisingly, its latest accessories collection

revels in the colour black. Part of the K/Kuilted

range, this mini handbag may look simple

at frst glance yet is anything but. Quilting

adds an interesting dimension to the design,

while on closer inspection the chain handle is

revealed to be made up of studded rings. This

is a clever and edgy creation from one of the

world’s greatest designers. While visiting his

Berlin boutique, make sure to explore the

interactive elements. As keen on technology

as he is on the colour black, Lagerfeld equips

each of his stores with tablets, allowing visitors

to browse his wares online, watch footage of

fashion shows, take pictures of themselves in

their purchases, and even leave messages for

the man himself. hl
