OUR FAVOURITES: CECILIA FEDERICO AND ROSITA GIAMMARINO Emerging Italian fashion brand Archivio was founded in 2016, and is rapidly becoming known for its new take on classic designs, all made to the highest standards. Its autumn/ winter 2017/18 collection takes strong cues from the 1990s with the re-invention of structured styles, as seen in coats, dresses, and the use of pleated and wrap styles. Fani Mari speaks to co-founders and creative directors Cecilia Federico and Rosita Giammarino about their insider tips for the new season

For autumn/winter 2017/18, fashion labels Marina Rinaldi and Stella Jean present a second exciting collaboration, partly inspired by Ernest Hemingway’s novel The Old Man and the Sea. The capsule collection is made up of 17 pieces with the addition of shoes, bags, jewellery and accessories. Bold, embroidered embellishments reference the Caribbean and resonate with both Hemingway and Jean, who hails from Haiti. The range includes a light kimono-inspired top featuring dragonflies and flowers, and this structured Teodora grey overcoat (€950), which is decorated with a majestic turquoise marlin. km Marina Rinaldi, Via Borgognona 4-5, 00187 Rome, +39 06 6920 0487, marinarinaldi.com FOR M A P GO TO PAGE 85

Multi-talented Marcelo Burlon has joined forces with Turin-based sportswear brand Kappa to create a capsule collection that merges different worlds. Sporty pieces have been created in classic shades of military green, red and black.

shoemaker to Hollywood stars. Fast forward 80 years and the palazzo is now home to one of the most alluring fashion flagships in Europe. Restored in 2000, today it is known for its 17th- and 18th-century Florentine art; the basement houses the Museo Salvatore Ferragamo, which showcases a collection of 10,000 pairs of shoes designed by Ferragamo throughout his lifetime.

While Ferragamo shoes are available throughout the world, the flagship in Florence offers a unique visitor experience, combining the rich legacy of the brand with an of-the-moment retail space containing the latest collections.

lorence, with its incredible Renaissance heritage, might not be as synonymous with high-end retail as Milan, yet it is carving out a niche for itself in the fashion world thanks to its renewed focus on exceptional flagships. Not satisfied with wowing customers with cutting-edge design and gleaming, multi-faceted spaces, the big Italian fashion players are investing in Florence’s heritage buildings and transforming them into memorable celebrations of their own history.

Salvatore Ferragamo bought the late 13th-century Palazzo Spini Feroni in 1938 and turned it into the brand’s headquarters. The designer had returned to his Italian roots to launch his eponymous label following his early success as a

Florence is carving out a niche for itself in the fashion world thanks to the renewed focus on exceptional flagships shoes and everything else for elegant dressing,’ Wanda Ferragamo told the New York Times in 1981. It was this vision that drove the success of the brand, and still informs its flagship today.

It’s one of a number of exceptional flagships that offer a complete immersion into the DNA of a brand, a growing trend within high-end retail spaces. Nick Leith-Smith is the founder Nick Leith-Smith Architecture and Design, which has conceived stores for brands such as Manolo Blahnik, Harvey Nichols and Kurt Geiger.

‘Expectations are high within new retail,’ explains Leith-Smith.

‘Clients have come to expect more challenging unique experiences, blending modern technology and

contemporary craftsmanship, often with strong local art and cultural references.’ As a result, there are an increasing number of multi-faceted spaces that embrace many different aspects of a brand and seek to represent both their present and their past.

The Aquazzura flagship on Lugano Corsini is a good example.

To live and operate out of the Palazzo Corsini was a dream of Aquazzura’s founder and creative director Edgardo Osorio when he was a student in Florence – and one that he has since turned into a reality. In 2015 Aquazzura opened its flagship in the 15th-century palazzo where Osorio also resides in a private apartment. It was once lived in by the Medici family, and

family palazzo was where the eponymous founder first worked with fabric manufacturers in the 1950s to develop the distinctive printed stretch fabrics that made him famous. Over 70 years later and the palazzo is still occupied by the Pucci family and, more importantly, still very much the beating heart of the brand. Recent campaigns have been shot on its large rooftop terrace, which was designed by Gae Aulenti in 1968, but you’ll have to

its walls are covered with Renaissance frescoes. Bold colours and stripes, which are the basis of the brand’s distinctive aesthetic, blend with period Florentine features for a seamless fusion of antiquity and modernity.

Visitors to the Aquazzura flagship can browse a comprehensive selection of Osorio’s designs – footwear that manages to be simultaneously vibrant, sexy and comfortable – and also make use of a made-to-order service. The fact that the store is situated on the banks of the Arno, surrounded by some of the finest shoemakers and craftsmen in the world, only adds to the authenticity of the space.

Another Italian fashion house whose roots are firmly planted in Florence is Emilio Pucci, whose

walk to Via de’ Tornabuoni to find the Pucci boutique, where white and silver interiors provide the backdrop for the brand’s colourful printed creations.

Last but not least, there is the Gucci Museo in the Piazza della Signoria – a perfect complement to the flagship store in Via de’ Tornabuoni – whose inviting shop sells one-off Gucci originals.

Currently under restoration, it’s home to an incredible archive of pieces that have served as inspiration for the brand’s collections over the years and is set to reopen soon. With Alessandro Michele and his magical creative vision at the helm, one can only wonder what this jewel in the crown of fashion spaces will bring Above (from top): Aquazzura boutique in Florence; Emilio Pucci autumn/winter 2017/18

Italy’s major cities have far more to offer than just the famous sights.

Hannah Lewis goes off the beaten track

F

rom the Colosseum in Rome to the gondolas of Venice, Italy’s classic attractions simply have to be seen and experienced. But there is something to be said for going beyond the obvious when it comes to exploring a city. Whether you’re visiting Italy for the first, second or even 10th time, there is always something new to discover. The nation’s key cities are brimming with culture, and not just in the places you know about.

From hole-in-the-wall eateries to historic artefacts you never knew were there, our insider guides to Rome, Milan, Florence and Venice will help you to see them in a different light.

ROME The Italian capital offers history at every turn, but did you know it is home to an Egyptian-style pyramid? Built in the first century BC, the Piramide Cestia (pyramid of Cestius) is one of Rome’s most intriguing sites. Another surprising structure is the Casina delle Civette (house of the owls); built in 1840, it is now a museum famous for its unrivalled collection of stained glass, as well as for the recurring owl motifs from which it gets its nickname, and is often compared to

a fairytale castle.

The city is filled with beautiful religious buildings. The Jesuit church of Sant’Ignazio, for example, is notable for its stunning trompe l’oeil painted ceiling, which appears domed though it is actually flat and has to be seen to be believed. If modern art is more to your taste, visit the incredible Museo Nazionale delle Arti del XXI Secolo (museum of 21stcentury art), better known as MAXXI, or even take a stroll through the vibrant Ostiense district, famous for its array of street art. Once you’ve soaked in the sights, the area is home to some of the trendiest restaurants and bars in the city, making it the perfect place to spend the evening.

Milan’s cathedral is, of course, a must-visit attraction, but be sure not to miss a trip to the roof to view the whole city from above. Another fantastic vista of Milan can be seen from the modern Palazzo Lombardia. This complex of skyscrapers, home to the offices of the president and regional government of Lombardy, welcomes guests to enjoy the view from its 39th floor each Sunday.

Other intriguing attractions include the Museo Nazionale Scienza e Tecnologia Leonardo da Vinci (Museum of Science and Technology), which is inspired by the artist’s passion for invention.

Fashion fans will appreciate a tour of the Atelier Sangalli workshop, after which they can commission a bespoke garment; this is where Milan’s most stylish residents go for

impeccably tailored pieces. After a hard day’s exploring, scout out one of the city’s many hole-in-the-wall bars for a tasty aperitivo (a local institution). For dinner, many of Milan’s best eateries are tucked down little side streets, so be sure to take a look. Or, for something out of the ordinary, book a meal on the historic Atmosfera tram, which will take you around central Milan while you eat delicious Italian food.

FLORENCE Florence is the city of Michelangelo, and you can’t leave without experiencing some of his world-famous creations first-hand at the Galleria dell’Accademia and the Medici chapels – arrive early to beat the crowds. From there, head to the Mercato Centrale (one of Europe’s biggest covered markets) for an authentic local breakfast or brunch. There are hundreds of options, all made with the freshest local ingredients.

Adventurous eaters should try a lampredotto – a tripe sandwich found only in Florence. Another classic regional sandwich worth trying is made from a local bread called schiacciata, which is stuffed with pork, pecorino cheese and truffle sauce.

When it comes to museums, Florence has one for everyone. We Above (from top): a submarine at Milan’s science and technology museum; David by Michelangelo in the Galleria dell’Accademia in Florence

VENICE Venice is built on an archipelago of 118 small islands linked by bridges, so make the most of them and explore on foot. You may get a little lost, but that’s part of the fun, and it’s often how you’ll end up discovering something new – perhaps a traditional trattoria in which to sample the local delicacy of bigoli pasta in a salsa flavoured with anchovies, or a charming little bar serving cicchetti (snacks served with a drink).

For a bite to eat, visit the Castello district, home to traditional delicatessens and cafés that you’ll struggle to resist. Or, for a truly luxurious experience, book a table at the acclaimed Da Fiore, housed in an old Venetian tavern in the San Polo area.

Italian lifestyle label Harmont & Blaine stands out for its bold use of colour and commitment to excellence, as Maria Kirchen-Hill reports

hoosing a company logo is an important task for any brand, but for Italian lifestyle label Harmont & Blaine – whose dachshund symbol is instantly recognisable to its fans across the globe – the choice was about more than just the image.

This likeable creature was chosen because it directly reflects the company’s philosophy and values.

The dachshund, explains the team, is a German dog bred for hunting, which has overcome its comical (though adorable) physique by proving its worth with its nose and its intelligence. Harmont &

Blaine, a family company founded in the Gulf of Naples in the 1960s, faced all the struggles a fledgling business could expect. But when it found its ‘nose’ – that unique identity that made it truly stand out – the brand proved its worth. In 1995, when its first collection of dachshund-branded clothing was launched, the Harmont & Blaine of today was born.

The collection, presented in Capri, embodied a refined, casual style with a distinctive Mediterranean flair, and it is this aesthetic for which Harmont & Blaine has come to be known across

Bright creations are a signature, and the brand offers a full range of clothing and accessories, allowing clients to achieve a look that is casual yet refined

the world. Starting with a modest collection of men’s pieces, the brand saw very quick success, and went on to launch a junior collection for both girls and boys in 2005 and a range of footwear in 2008. In 2010, a women’s collection was also introduced, meaning that Harmont & Blaine now caters to the whole family.

Shirts and polo shirts are particular specialities, and these were central to the brand’s early success. While other labels were looking to neutral colours and favouring minimalism, Harmont & Blaine expressed its joyous approach to life and design through colour. Bright and beautiful creations are a signature still, and today the brand offers a full range of clothing and accessories, allowing clients to achieve a total look that is colourful and casual yet still refined. Whether in the men’s, women’s or children’s collections,

you’ll find eye-catching pieces that fit seamlessly into the wardrobe, with upbeat hues that take classic cuts and pieces to the next level.

Harmont & Blaine prides itself

Above (clockwise from opposite page): two views of a Harmont & Blaine store; the brand’s bike blazer outfit

72 | F E AT U R E S

on its ability to offer high-quality garments at a fair price. An accessible brand, it nonetheless strives for the same standards of excellence as any other leading Italian label. Its fabric is sourced from among the leading suppliers in the world, and 100% of its knitwear is proudly made in Italy.

The yarns are processed in Umbria, and most of its knitted pieces are crafted in Calabria, where the firm saved and revived a struggling factory.

Another secret to its success is the design team’s ability to embrace trends while staying true to the brand’s core aesthetic. ‘We define Above (clockwise from top left): Harmont & Blaine store; Paolo Montefusco, the brand’s CEO; Vietri polo shirts with the distinctive dachshund logo

ourselves as “fashion cooks”,’ explains CEO Paolo Montefusco.

‘The ingredients are the same for everyone, but the result is different for each of us. And this is due to sensitivity and interpretation.’

Expect youthful collections that balance the latest trends with a distinct Italian spirit. For men, slim-cut trousers and lightweight shirts are the perfect way to capture the trend for smart-casual dressing.

For women, colourful coats and jackets are a highlight, and look perfect paired with printed dresses and blouses in complementary tones. The kids’ collections cleverly balance the need for comfort and

durability with a fun fashion edge that children and parents alike will absolutely love.

Celebrity endorsement is a sure sign of success, and Harmont & Blaine’s dachshund logo has been worn by countless famous names, from Sylvester Stallone to Kevin Spacey, and Helen Hunt to Kelly Rowland. But perhaps the best indicator is the brand’s continued expansion both in Italy and beyond, with 10 new international openings planned for the next two years alone. It looks as if this colourful brand is set to go from strength to strength, so be sure to see what it has to offer on your trip to Italy

TABLE TALK

Italy’s best breakfast and brunch spots offer the perfect beginning to a day of exploring, says Rebecca Rhys-Evans

When your day is to be filled with roaming the beautiful streets of Florence, shopping the finest fashion in Milan or checking out the Trevi fountain in Rome, breakfast is certainly the most important meal of the day.

Whichever city you find yourself in, we’ve found the best breakfast and brunch spots.

From the oldest café in Italy to an American diner-style bakery, these are some of the most original – and inviting – eateries across the nation. Whether you’re looking to linger over a hearty spread, or be like the Italians and breakfast on a simple pastry and cappuccino, you can be sure of satisfaction at any of these four venues. globalblue.com

GUSTO Although not strictly a breakfast destination, Gusto is the ideal place for a lazy brunch on weekends. The Gusto version of this popular meal comes in the guise of a savoury buffet, which encourages customers to try a variety of British and Italian house favourites and enables couples, friends and families to share food – a tradition that is integral to Italian dining. Once finished with your weekend brunch, you can browse the Gusto emporium where you can find everything you need for your table at home, from tablecloths to cutlery and glasses as well as food and wine books by international chefs.

This small place will deliver a big breakfast, but it isn’t the only thing it does well. Vintage Bakery also offers an array of cakes and classic cupcakes if you’re aching for something sweet, and even has health-conscious and vegan options for lunch and dinner.

FINISTERRAE Finisterrae occupies a prime spot on Piazza di Santa Croce next to the famous church of the same name. The breakfast is classically Italian, and if the smell of the superb coffee doesn’t draw you in, the many delectable sweet treats and pastries will. The menu changes seasonally, but you’ll be sure to find the exceptional pistachio croissants and Sicilianstyle sfogliatelle all year round – assuming they haven’t sold out.

Finisterrae also offers visitors a variety of places to sit, including a generous terrace in the square for sunnier moments as well as a large and cosy lantern-lit restaurant for cooler winter days.

With several sumptuous neo-baroque rooms that still have much of their original décor, and a large outdoor seating area in Piazza San Marco, it is the perfect place to people watch (or celebrity spot) over a relaxed breakfast, chosen from a menu dedicated to Venetian delicacies such as pastries and savoury stuffed croissants.

L’OCCITANE Dating from the 1970s, French brand L’Occitane is renowned for using the bounty of nature in its beauty products. Normally it draws on ingredients from Provence, but its Divine range is based on immortelle flowers from Corsica. The collection has recently been relaunched with a new formula that increases the intensity of essential oil from the golden blooms. Immortelle is acclaimed for its anti-ageing properties; it is known as the everlasting flower and does not fade even after it has been picked. Its use in Divine youth oil, cream and serum helps to keep skin looking youthful and glowing. In addition to these three enhanced products, look out

for Divine cleansing balm and cleansing cream which remove dirt and make-up and increase radiance. Complete with Divine eye cream, eye balm and cream mask, this collection will ensure your skin belies your age.

Soon after its founding in 2010, Milanese handbag brand Salar was identified

by Vogue Italia as a label on the rise, giving it a stellar grounding in the industry.

Salar Bicherenloo and Francesca Monaco aim to create innovative and unusual handbags by combining unique materials and techniques. Rooted in Italian craftsmanship traditions but pushing these forward into new territory, Salar’s bags combine romantic-chic styles with a touch of rock ’n’ roll. From flower-adorned creations with spike details to textured designs and tassled options, the geometric shapes and playful colour combinations will satisfy even the fussiest customer.

SELETTI Invest in a statement lamp from Seletti on your trip to Milan. With pop art-inspired lips, hotdog and lightning-bolt designs, these bold creations will add a touch of Italian kitsch to your home. Available at Seletti’s flagship store, which opened during Milan Design Week in April, these dramatic lighting options have been manufactured in collaboration with design brand Blow; the quirky range also includes rugs in the shape of fried eggs and dartboards, and mirrors accented with peace signs.

Channeling American diners and Andy Warhol prints, this collection is unlike anything you’ll find back home.

Head to Il Gufo’s Milan boutique to discover the new autumn/winter 2017/18 range, inspired by the childlike wonderment of magic. This theme is translated into tops which twinkle with sparkling stars and glittery fur-lined gowns for little girls and jumpers with wolves, eagles and skiers for little boys. We adore the merino wool knit from the girls’ range; its large weaves and jacquard detailing depict a snowy mountain scene with added precious pom-poms. We also love the Silver Label occasion dresses in tulle, taffeta and velvet. With so much to choose from, you’ll have plenty of excuses to buy an early Christmas present for your little ones.

THE MERCHANT OF VENICE Exclusive perfumery house The Merchant of Venice has launched a collection consisting of seven entrancing scents in beautifully patterned Murano glass bottles to combine two of the city’s most important exports. Our favourite is Rosa Moceniga, named after a rose that came originally from central China and can now be found growing in the countryside around Venice. Founded by Marco Vidal in 2013, whose

Global Blue Contact Point

family has been part of the fragrance industry for more than a century, The Merchant of Venice has five standalone stores around Italy, including a recent opening in Milan.

Now run by the third generation of the Cassetti family, the brand continues to captivate visitors to Florence with its selection of jewellery and silver items and now also owns dedicated Rolex and Vacheron Constantin boutiques, as well as a shop showcasing items

by IWC and Cartier. Visit the Vacheron Constantin boutique for the latest timepieces from

This season’s collection from lingerie brand Intimissimi is inspired

by Italy’s most beautiful places. The range features sleepwear that mixes glamorous new styles with Italian elegance. Themes of the collection include Exotic Riviera, which captures the tropical feel of La Mortella gardens on Ischia with floral prints and warm colours, and Dreaming Bellagio, which evokes the romantic atmosphere of the gardens and villas overlooking Lake Como through delicate floral embroidery and lace in light pastel colours.

LUISA SPAGNOLI Discover power dressing options for the 21st century at Luisa Spagnoli this autumn/ winter. Back in the 80s power dressing meant shoulder pads and stiff suiting, but this collection offers a more feminine look. Damask and lace appear on suiting while metallics feature throughout the range, from silver leather jackets to pleated woollen skirts embroidered with silver thread.

Ruffle dresses in forest green add a touch of boho-chic, and ski jackets with fur-lined hoods are ideal for cold weather. It’s no wonder the brand has been loved by stylish Italian women since it was founded in 1928.

MY MILAN: ALESSANDRO SQUARZI Fashion entrepreneur and style icon Alessandro Squarzi was voted Esquire’s best-dressed man in the world in 2017.

His AS65 label, founded three years ago, is known for its vintage-look parkas for both men and women. He shares his hotspots in his home town of Milan with Rebecca Rhys-Evans ‘I was born in Forlì and I love the Romagna region. I am very attached to my roots. I’ve never tried to lose my accent. People who deny their upbringing don’t have much to say.

‘I now live in Milan, a city that has much to offer in terms of work and play. But as soon as I can, I go back to my second home town, Rimini, the city that has adopted me. The person I most admire from Rimini is the famous filmmaker Federico Fellini: his movies are pure genius. He left a massive cultural

heritage that is recognised all over the world, but unfortunately not so much in Rimini itself. My style heroes include his leading man Marcello Mastroianni, along with Paul Newman and James Dean.

‘When shopping in Milan, I love Massimo Alba. He is a genius with fabrics, in particular knitwear.

Also, The Store in Via Solferino has a great selection of everything, from elegant eveningwear to sportswear. And finally, there’s my amazing Fortela * p.93, in Via Melzo, because it takes you back to the 30s. I have been working with vintage for 30 years; 15 years ago I started to create something from this passion, and Fortela and AS65 are the result. My favourite item from the new AS65 collection is the double-breasted military jacket lined with white sheepskin: the canons of the military concept are broken by the interior to create a strong and contrasting look.

‘In terms of restaurants, El

Carnicero serves the best meat in town, and Langosteria does the greatest fish – if I could, I would go there every night. Pasticceria Marchesi * p.98, in Via Montenapoleone is very welcoming, it feels like home. I love the view from the terrace of Ceresio 7.

There is also a small deconsecrated church which has been turned into a cool bar, La Chiesetta, with a great beer selection.

‘When friends come to Milan, I always like to take them around the Fondazione Prada museum or to see the Bosco Verticale vertical garden. I have very little time to explore the city on foot, but when I can I’m happy to take a stroll from home to the office.

‘My favourite place to shop outside Italy is, without a doubt, Tokyo. Everybody is extremely cultured over there and I love people who can teach me something. Just think – they even have a book solely about how to wash jeans!’

新兴零售业界 的 期 待 很高。” LeithSmith解 释 道，“上门来的顾客希望 感 受 一 种更具挑 战 性 的独 特 体 验，把 现代 技 术 和当代 工 艺结 合 起 来，常常 还 要 带 有强烈的当地艺 术 和 文化 元 素。”因此，越 来越多的多元 专卖店应 运而生，从不同角度 展现 品牌面貌， 竭力 彰显 品牌 的当下 和历史。 位于 Lugano Corsini的 Aquazzura旗 舰 店 就 是 一 个极 佳 的例 子。在佛罗伦萨求学 之 时，Aquazzura创 始 人 兼 创意 总监 Edgardo Osorio便 梦想 着有 朝 一 日在 科西尼宫（ Palazzo Corsini） 生活 和 工作 — — 他 把 梦想变 成了 现 实。2015年，Aquazzura在 这 座 建 于 15世 纪 的宫殿 里 开 设了品牌 旗 舰 店， Osorio的 私 人公寓也 在 这 里。 美 第奇家 族 就曾居 住于此，墙上 挂 满 了文 艺 复兴 时期 的壁画。鲜明的色 彩 和 线 条 — — 品牌 独 特 美学 的基 础 元 素 — — 与佛罗伦萨 画派 的 艺 术风 格 交 相 辉 映，实现了古老与现代 的完 美 交融。 顾客可以在 Aquazzura旗 舰 店中 尽览 Osorio的 全 部设 计作品 — — 各 类 集 活力、性 感 和 舒 适 于 一身的 鞋

РУССКИЙ ПЕРЕВОД 54: First Among Equals

Первые среди равных

Ведущие флагманские бутики Флоренции предлагают посетителям возможность ближе познакомиться с лучшими итальянскими брендами, – рассказывает Бет Дрюс Флоренция с ее невероятным наследием эпохи Возрождения, возможно, не ассоциируется с роскошным шоппингом, как, например, Милан, тем не менее индустрия моды не обошла город стороной, сделав акцент на флагманских магазинах. Крупные итальянские дома моды, не удовлетворенные

ультрасовременным дизайном и многогранными пространствами, решили сделать упор на Флоренции и ее старинных зданиях, которые могут служить идеальным олицетворением роскоши и наследия любого бренда. В 1938 году Сальваторе Феррагамо приобрел Palazzo Spini Feroni – особняк 13 века, и превратил его в свою штабквартиру. Дизайнер вернулся к своим итальянским корням, чтобы открыть одноименный бренд после успешной карьеры по созданию обуви для голливудских звезд. Прошло 80 лет и особняк стал одним из самых привлекательных модных флагманов Европы. В 2000 году бутик прошел реставрацию, а сегодня он известен флорентийским искусством 17-го и 18-го века; в подвале расположен музей Salvatore Ferragamo, в котором представлена коллекция из 10 000 пар обуви, которые были созданны Феррагамо в течение жизни. Конечно, обувь Ferragamo можно приобрести по всему миру, однако флагман во Флоренции предлагает посетителям уникальную возможность близко познакомиться с богатым наследием бренда и увидеть самые последние коллекции. «Перед смертью [в 1960 году] мой муж мечтал о доме моды Ferragamo, где можно было бы приобрести обувь и элегантную globalblue.ru

одежду», – сказала Ванда Феррагамо в интервью газете York Times в 1981 году. Именно это видение двигало успехом бренда и до сих пор обитает во флагманском бутике. Это один из ярких примеров новой тенденции модной индустрии, когда флагманский магазин позволяет с головой погрузиться в философию того или иного бренда. Ник ЛейтСмит – основатель бюро Nick Leith-Smith Architecture and Design, которое участвовало в проектировании бутиков для таких марок, как Manolo Blahnik, Harvey Nichols и Kurt Geiger. «На новый ретейл возлагаются большие надежды, – поясняет Лейт-Смит. – Клиенты ожидают чего-то оригинального, что сочетало бы современные технологии и мастерство,

связанное с местным искусством и культурой». В результате появляется большое число многогранных пространств, где представлены разные аспекты брендов, их прошлое и настоящее. Флагман Aquazzura на Lugano Corsini служит отличным примером. Жить и работать в Palazzo Corsini было мечтой основателя и креативного директора Aquazzura – Эдгардо Озорио, когда он учился во Флоренции, и теперь эта мечта сбылась. В 2015 году марка Aquazzura открыла флагманский бутик в особняке 15 века, где Озорио проживает в частных апартаментах. Некогда здание принадлежало семье Медичи и его стены до сих покрыты фресками эпохи Возрождения. Старина

и современность сошлись здесь воедино в виде ярких цветов и полосок, являющихся характерной чертой фирменной эстетики, и старинных флорентийских мотивов. Посетители флагманского бутика Aquazzura могут ознакомится с большим ассортиментом обуви Озорио – яркой, сексуальной и комфортабельной, а также воспользоваться услугой пошива на заказ. Тот факт, что магазин расположен на берегу реки Арно в окружении лучших обувных салонов Италии, придает этому пространству еще больше аутентичности.

Emilio Pucci – еще один итальянский дом моды, чьи корни берут начало во Флоренции. Его основатель, давший компании свое имя, еще в 1950-х годах начал работать над созданием эластичных тканей с принтами, которые и подарили ему известность. Спустя 70 лет особняк до сих пор принадлежит семье Пуччи, и, что наиболее важно, продолжает быть краеугольным камнем бренда. Съемки для серии последних рекламных кампаний Emilio Pucci прошли на террасе особняка, спроектированной Гаем Ауленти в 1968 году. Однако, чтобы найти бутик Пуччи, нужно пройти до Via de’ Tornabuoni. Фоном для ярких коллекций бренда служит элегантный интерьер в белых и серебряных тонах. На Piazza della Signoria

132

расположился Gucci Museo – идеальное дополнение к флагману бренда на Via de’ Tornabuoni, – в магазине которого можно приобрести вещи, выпущенные в одном экземпляре. На данный момент там проходит реконструкция, по завершении которой посетители смогут познакомиться с увлекательным архивом фирменных коллекций, многие годы служивших вдохновением для дизайнеров бренда. Зная Алессандро Микеле и его волшебное творческое видение, можно только догадываться, какие сокровища там могут появиться.

Итальянские секреты

Знаменитые итальянские достопримечательности, от Колизея в Риме до завораживающих гондол Венеции, конечно, стоит увидеть каждому. Однако на этом знакомство со страной не заканчивается. Неважно какой по счету раз вы приехали в Италию – первый, второй или десятый, для путешественника здесь всегда найдется нечто новое. Итальянские города буквально набиты культурными globalblue.ru

достопримечательностями, которые не всегда расположены в популярных местах. Наш инсайдерский гид по Риму, Милану, Флоренции и Венеции поможет вам увидеть все в новом свете: от небольших кафе до старинных артефактов, о существовании которых вы не догадывались. Рим На каждом углу итальянской столицы мы имеем дело с историческим памятником, но знали ли вы о том, что здесь построена настоящая пирамида в египетском стиле? Пирамида Цестия, заложенная в первом веке до нашей эры, является

душе современное искусство, посетите Национальный музей искусства 21 века «Museo Nazionale delle Arti del XXI Secolo», более известный как MAXXI, или же прогуляйтесь по оживленному району Остиенсе, знаменитому своим стрит-артом. После осмотра всех интересных мест можно прекрасно поужинать в одном из многочисленных стильных ресторанчиков и баров. Милан

одной из самых интригующих достопримечательностей Рима. Еще одна удивительная постройка – Дом сов («Casina delle Civette»), построенный в 1840 году; с виду напоминающий сказочный замок, этот дом-музей известен своей непревзойденной коллекцией витражных стекол, а также многочисленными сюжетами с изображением сов. В Риме огромное количество потрясающих соборов. Иезуитский костел Sant’Ignazio, например, известен своим живописным потолком, расписанным в стиле тромплёй: фреска создает иллюзию купола над головой, и подвох не сразу можно заметить. Если вам по

Миланский собор стоит посетить каждому, но не забудьте подняться на его крышу, откуда открывается великолепный вид на город. Еще одной интересной обзорной площадкой служит Palazzo Lombardia. Этот комплекс небоскребов, в котором располагаются офисы президента и местного правительства Ломбардии, каждое воскресенье предлагает посетителям насладиться видом Милана с высоты 39 этажа. Среди других достопримечательностей – Национальный музей науки и техники «Museo Nazionale Scienza e Tecnologia Leonardo da Vinci», вдохновленный страстью художника к изобретательству. Поклонники моды могут отправиться на экскурсию в мастерскую Atelier Sangalli. Здесь доступна услуга индивидуального заказа, которой часто пользуются

стильные жители города. После изнурительного дня загляните в один из многочисленных баров на аперитив, а на ужин можно расположиться на открытой террасе местного ресторана. Если вам хочется чего-то неординарного, закажите столик в ресторане Atmosfera, расположенном внутри трамвая. Пока вы будете наслаждаться божественной итальянской кухней, трамвай будет кружить по центру Милана. Флоренция Флоренция – это город Микеланджело, и вы просто обязаны увидеть его работы в Галерее Академии и часовне Капелла Медичи. Сюда стоит приехать пораньше, чтобы не застать час пик. Затем отправляйтесь на рынок Mercato Centrale (один из крупнейших в Европе крытых рынков), чтобы насладиться традиционным globalblue.ru

завтраком. Выбор потрясающ, и все готовится из местных ингредиентов. Гурманы должны обязательно попробовать лампредотто («lampredotto») – сэндвич из говяжьего желудка, который продается лишь во Флоренции. Еще один традиционный местный сэндвич готовится из хлеба cкьяччата («schiacciata») со свининой, сыром пекорино и трюфельным соусом. Что касается музеев, то во Флоренции каждый найдет

себе что-то по вкусу. Нам понравился Музей самоцветов «Museo Opificio delle Pietre Dure», посвященный искусству обработки камней, и Музей зоологии и естествоведения «La Specola». Большинство музеев работают по воскресеньям, но закрыты в понедельник, поэтому не забудьте уточнить часы работы заранее. Венеция Венеция построена на архипелаге из 118 небольших островов, соединенных мостами, поэтому отправляйтесь на прогулку пешком и постарайтесь увидеть как можно больше. По дороге не сложно заблудиться, но в этом есть своя прелесть, ведь именно так можно обнаружить для себя что-то новое, будь то местная траттория, в которой подают макароны биголи под соусом сальса с анчоусами, или очаровательный бар с отличным выбором напитков и традиционных закусок чиччетти («cicchetti»). Стоит немного удалиться от популярного района Сан-Марко, как толпы начинают редеть, позволяя насладиться городом в более спокойной обстановке. Любителям культурных достопримечательностей стоит посетить музейный комплекс Палаццо Мочениго («Museo di Palazzo Mocenigo»), посвященный моде и ароматам 18-го века. Найти, где

перекусить можно квартале Castello, приютившем традиционные рестораны и кафе, мимо которых сложно пройти мимо. Для роскошного ужина забронируйте столик в ресторане Da Fiore, расположенном в старинной венецианской таверне в районе Сан-Поло. Меню ресторана предлагает классические итальянские блюда и закуски в современном стиле.

68: Life In Technicolour

Жизнь в цвете Итальянский бренд Harmont & Blaine заметно выделяется своей яркой палитрой и приверженностью к совершенству, – рассказывает Мария Кирхен-Хилл Выбор логотипа компании – задача не из простых, и для итальянской марки Harmont & Blaine, чей фирменный символ в виде таксы знаком каждому поклоннику бренда по всему миру, логотип значит намного больше, чем просто изображение. Такой необычный выбор был обусловлен тем, что такса как нельзя лучше отражает философию и ценности компании. По словам сотрудников бренда, такса – это охотничья порода собаки, выведенная в Германии, и несмотря на порой комичный внешний вид, такса отличается необычайным

136

чутьем и сообразительностью. Компания Harmont & Blaine, основанная в 1960-х годах на берегу Неаполитанского залива, за свою историю столкнулась с сами разными трудностями, которые только могли подстерегать молодой бизнес. Но после того, как бренду удалось найти свое новое «лицо» – уникальную идентичность, позволившую по-настоящему выделиться, – все встало на свои места. Запуск первой коллекции одежды с новым логотипом в 1995 году ознаменовал рождение современной Harmont & Blaine. Коллекция, представленная на Капри, воплотила в себе изысканный, непринужденный стиль с характерными элементами средиземноморской культуры, и именно эта эстетика делает Harmont & Blaine узнаваемой по всему миру. Начав производство со скромной globalblue.ru

коллекции мужской одежды, бренд довольно скоро добился успеха и выпустил коллекцию детской одежды и обуви в 2005 и 2008 годах соответственно. В 2010 году свет увидела первая женская коллекция одежды, дав понять, что Harmont & Blaine стал брендом для всей семьи. Особым спросом пользуются фирменные рубашки и рубашки поло, которые сразу принесли компании большой успех. В то время, как остальные бренды стремились к минимализму и нейтральным цветам, Harmont & Blaine поступил с точностью до наоборот, сделав акцент на жизнерадостной палитре. Яркие и замечательные творения до сих пор остаются визитной карточкой марки, и сегодня она предлагает своим покупателям полный спектр одежды и аксессуаров, которые при всей своей красочности

137

сохранили непринужденность и утонченность. Независимо от коллекции, вы легко сможете найти для себя привлекательную вещь, которая идеально впишется в ваш гардероб, а яркие оттенки помогут взглянуть на классический стиль в новом свете. Марка Harmont & Blaine известна многим своими качественными тканями по разумной цене. Несмотря на свою доступность, бренд стремится к тем же стандартам, что и остальные ведущие итальянские дома моды. Свои ткани компания закупает у лучших поставщиков по всему миру, а весь трикотаж с гордостью производится в Италии. Пряжа проходит обработку в Умбрии, а большинство трикотажных изделий шьется в Калабрии, где бренд помог вернуть к жизни местную фабрику. Еще одним секретом успеха компании является умение

дизайнерской команды ценить модные тренды, оставаясь при этом верными фирменной эстетике. «Мы называем себя “модными поварами”, – поясняет глава компании Паоло Монтефуско. – Ингредиенты одинаковы для всех, а результат для каждого свой. Все дело в чувствительности и умении толковать». В магазинах бренда вас ждут молодежные коллекции, сочетающие последние тренды с духом итальянских традиций. Что касается мужской серии, то зауженные брюки и легкие рубашки помогут составить элегантный и стильный гардероб. В женской коллекции особенно выделяются цветные пальто и куртки, которые можно легко сочетать с юбками с принтом и блузками соответствующих оттенков. Детские коллекции гармонично сочетают удобство и прочность с привлекательным дизайном, который понравится любому взрослому, не говоря уже о детях. Наличие звездных поклонников – верный признак успеха, и марка Harmont & Blaine может похвастаться тем, что ее логотип можно было заметить на многих знаменитостях: от Сильвестра Сталлоне и Кевина Спейси до Хелен Хант и Келли Роуленд. Но, пожалуй, лучшим показателем является непрекращающееся развитие бренда как в Италии, так и за ее пределами, в результате

タリアンルーツに戻って自名を冠した レーベルを立ち上げたのだ。それから 80年が経ち、この宮殿は現在、ヨーロ ッパで最も魅力的なファッション旗艦 店の一つになっている。2000 年に修 復工事が行われ、現在は17世紀から 18世紀にかけてのフィレンツェ芸術で 知られる。地階には、フェラガモが一 生涯でデザインした1万足の靴のコレ クションをおさめるサルヴァトーレ・フ ェラガモ博物館がある。 フェラガモの靴は世界中どこでも 買えるが、フィレンツェの旗艦店では 同ブランドの豊かな歴史と最新コレク ションを置く今風の小売スペースを融 合させて、来店者にユニークな体験を 提供している。 「夫は（1960 年に）亡 くなりましたが、エレガントな装いの ための靴やその他あらゆる品が買える ハウス・オブ・フェラガモを創るのが夢 だったんです」と、ワンダ・フェラガモ は1981年のニューヨークタイムズの取 材で話した。ブランドの成功の原動力 となったのがこのビジョンで、現在の

旗艦店にも反映されている。 この店はブランドの真髄にどっぷ り浸かれる非凡な旗艦店がいくつか あるうちの一つ。こうしたブランドの特 質をたっぷり堪能できるスペースは、 高級品小売業界で強まりつつあるトレ ンドだ。ニック・リース・スミスは、ニッ ク・リース・スミス・アーキテクチャ＆ デザインの創業者。マノロ・ブラニク、 ハーヴェイ・二コルズ、カートジェイガ ーといったブランドの店舗をデザイン した事務所だ。 「小売スペースの新設 時は期待値が高いんです」とリース・ スミスは説明する。 「クライアントは、 近代的テクノロジーとその時代の工芸 を組み合わせた刺激的でユニークな 体験を期待するようになっています。 地元の芸術や文化を色濃く反映して 欲しいといわれることも多いですね。 」その結果、ブランドの様々な面を映 し、その過去と現在を併せて表現し ようとする多面的なスペースが増えて いる。 ルガーノ・コルシーニにあるアク

アズーラの旗艦 店がその好 例だ。ア クアズーラの創業者でクリエイティブ ディレクターのエドガルド・オッソリオ はフィレンツェで学生時代を過ごした が、コルシーニ宮殿に住み、そこで仕 事をすることがその頃からの夢だっ た。2015年、アクアズーラはこの15世 紀の宮殿に旗艦店をオープン。この建 物のプレイベートアパートメントはオッ ソリオの自宅でもある。ここは元メデ ィチ家の邸宅で、壁はルネッサンス期 のフレスコ画で覆われている。同ブラ ンド独特の審美観の基本である大胆 な色とストライプが、フィレンツェの歴 史的建物の造作と調和し、古さと新し さがシームレスに融合している。 アクアズーラの旗艦店を訪れる人 は、オッソリオの全デザインから選り すぐった商品（快活さとセクシーさ、快 適性を兼ね備えた靴）を見て回れるだ けでなく、オーダーメードサービスも 利用できる。この店はアルノ河畔にあ って周りを世界最高クラスの靴メーカ ーや工房に囲まれており、それが同店 の本物感を一層濃厚にしている。 フィレンツェにしっかりと根を張る もう一つのイタリアンファッションハ ウスが、エミリオ・プッチだ。一族の邸 宅は、自名のブランドを立ち上げた創 業者エミリオが 1950 年代にプリント 柄ストレッチ生地（プッチを有名にし たあの素材）をファブリックメーカー と共同開発した場所。それから70 年 以上が経ったが、この建物は今もプッ
