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.

From bright luxury sportswear to creations in leather and lace, Berlin’s after-dark fashions are as alluring as the city’s nightlife, Sally McIlhone discovers

till dawn The glamour of Berlin has always been that much more dramatic after nightfall. In the 1930s, author Christopher Isherwood described decadent, cabaret-flled evenings and today the city is reputed to be the clubbing capital of the world. Berlin’s fashion designers recognise that locals and visitors want to dress for the wide variety of nightlife available: whether you’re trying to charm your way into the ultra exclusive Berghain nightclub or are heading for cocktails at Das Stue, recently voted one of the best new bars in the world by Condé Nast Traveller, there is a Berlin brand with an impeccable outft just for you. The city’s relaxed atmosphere inspires Lala Berlin’s designer Leyla Piedayesh. ‘It’s the feeling of freedom that you have in Berlin, especially at night,’ she says. ‘There are no

119

rules. This feeling of freedom is what inspires me every day.’ The label’s latest collection aptly displays this afnity for nonconformity, combining seemingly disparate pieces to create an edgy take on refned eveningwear. Lace panelled minidresses worn over PVC leggings and topped of with a silver blazer ofer a sophisticated take on modern androgyny. Elsewhere a paint-splatter print is applied to loose trousers and panelled crop tops, leggings feature bold word-prints and mannish overcoats are draped over models’ shoulders. These are ideal outfts to wear when queuing to get into the city’s most exclusive nightclubs, ofering the option of warmth, while still allowing the wearer to bare a hint of skin. Piedayesh believes the buzz of Berlin’s nightlife is down to the blend of people and fashion. ‘It’s very special,’ she says. ‘People mix all types of

56 | F E AT U R E S

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.

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.’ If you prefer to sup a cocktail in an elite nightspot that evokes the atmosphere of Isherwood’s heyday, Das Stue is the place for you. For a taste of understated Berlin style, the latest womenswear collection from fashion marvel Karl Lagerfeld contains plenty of ferce yet feminine options. A metallic gold minidress

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

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 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, Porscheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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

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 Previous page (from top): Porsche Design store; Porsche Design P’1160 kidskin suede duvet jacket from the Engineered leather collection

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 porsche-design.com

Muse, immanuelkirchstrasse 31, 10405 Berlin, +49 (0)30 4005 6289, museberlin.de

Chef Pierre Gagnaire, who has overseen a Michelin-starred restaurant, is renowned for taking a modern approach to classic French cuisine – a style that fts perfectly with the refned interior of Les solistes. the restaurant’s minimalist dining room has pockets of artistic fair, seen in its extravagant foral displays and works of art inspired by Berlin’s creative landscape. Among the gourmet dishes expect duck foie gras, roasted venison and lobster to feature on the menu alongside the jellied liquids, sorbets and caramels that make up the grand dessert course. the wine selection is similarly impressive; with more than 450 vintages to choose from there is an option to match every dish. Les Solistes, Waldorf Astoria Berlin, Hardenbergstrasse 28, 10623 Berlin, +49 (0)30 8140 002450, waldorfastoria3.hilton.com

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. Миниплатья 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. globalblue.com

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 1930х, 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. Недавно в британской газете Telegraph

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 60: Festive Fairs

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

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.

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 ПренцлауэрБерге. 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 globalblue.com

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

66: Porsche Design

В фокусе

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

2003 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. Доктор äрген Гесслер, исполнительный директор Porsche Design, точно определяет

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 globalblue.com

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 103: When You Shop The World, Shop Tax Free

54: From Dusk Till Dawn 从黄昏到黎明

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。2 0 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，

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

112

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。 berghain.de, das-stue.com, lalaberlin.de, patrick-mohr.com, starstyling.net, karl.com, dont-shoot-the-messengers.com

60: Festive Fairs 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 Oper npa la is ，以贩售漂亮的手工艺品 globalblue.com

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 P ren zlauer 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。 visitberlin.de, tourismus.nuernberg.de, duesseldorf-tourismus.de

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 Flex皮夹克，后者更是将有盖拉链口袋和耳机线圈结合在一起。在谈到为什么设计皮革系列可以脱颖而出的原因时，保时捷设计的CEO于尔根·盖斯勒（ Juergen Gessler）博士说： “它在功用性和美学之间创造了

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

不折不扣的联系，可以和我们的产品组合无缝连接。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。 porsche-design.com
