    THE CUTTING EDGE

    A Swiss Army knife is useful in so many

    situations and Victorinox, the company

    behind the famous brand, has recently opened

    its second store in Germany in the centre

    of Cologne, not far from the cathedral.

    As well as the famous Swiss Army knives,

    cutlery, timepieces, travel items, fashion and

    fragrances are stocked throughout the two-

    foor store. The interior has been designed to

    refect Victorinox and its products, with oak

    representing tradition, concrete for modernity

    and steel to echo the metal used in the knives.

    result, the spring/summer 2014 collection is an extra-special

    manufacturers of leather gloves and sumptuous accessories,

    the collection combines Roeckls heritage with an homage to

    Japanese culture. Inspired by cherry blossoms, origami, bonsai

    and ikebana, the silk scarves are a highlight, created using

    an elaborate silk-screen printing process and painstakingly

    hand-rolled. Youll wear and treasure a Roeckl scarf for years

    to come. irs

    Some of Germanys leading fashion labels are moving away from minimalism to embrace colour and print, Dominique Fenn discovers

    German fashion designers have long been pioneers of pared-back style, focusing on cut, elegantly sculptured silhouettes and clean lines.

    Minimalism reached a peak in the 1990s and, while there has been a re-emergence of these styles over the past few seasons, many of the labels who spearheaded the understated aesthetic have embraced vivacious prints and bold colour for spring/summer 2014.

    Jil Sander, the undisputed queen of restraint, returned to her namesake label for three feeting seasons, following Raf Simons departure. When the label showed at Milan

    German fashion is entering a new dawn through print, colour and exuberance

    Fashion Week, the palette for spring/summer

    was black, white and grey, although there were

    several looks bursting with colour and print,

    inspired by the work of the Italian conceptual

    artist Alighiero Boetti.

    Escada was bought by Megha Mittal in

    2009. As a mother who travels regularly, she is

    much like the modern woman the brand wants

    to dress; as a result, her infuence is producing

    interesting results.

    In 2012, Mittal brought Daniel Wingate

    on board to modernise Escada, while staying

    true to the labels heritage. Critics praised the

    new creative director for bringing a freshness

    to the collections; he has simplifed key looks

    and introduced sharp suits and separates while

    bringing back a touch of the famboyance seen

    in early Escada designs, such as his beautiful

    long evening dresses trimmed with feathers

    for autumn/winter 2013.

    Creating a sense of escapism with daring

    prints is an area in which Wingate excels. For

    spring/summer 2014, animal infuences seen

    in zebra stripes and girafe spots sit alongside

    blown-up graphic foral prints and pineapple

    motifs. The collection includes foaty dresses,

    trouser suits and evening dresses.

    Drawing on the stylistic artistry of the

    surrealist art movement, classic pieces have

    been given an update at Boss. The label, known

    for its clean lines and smart tailoring with

    subtle yet inspired detailing, has manipulated

    standard shapes. This season, the label plays

    with illusions, in homage to the great surrealist

    artists such as Man Ray and Ren Magritte.

    Just as the surrealists rejected limits,

    the new collection transcends boundaries,

    with leisurewear and eveningwear blurring.

    The neckline of a double-breasted wool blazer,

    for instance, mimics that of a casual coat.

    The magnifed rose blossoms on an etui dress

    appear to be hand-drawn, and the colours

    are subdued from powder blue to grey

    so as not to distract from the designs.

    manager of Gerry Webers retail division and a descendant of the founder, took time out of his hectic schedule to discuss the labels success.

    Founded in 1973 by Udo Hardieck and the brands namesake, Gerhard Weber, the label sought to fuse fashion and lifestyle from the outset. Firmly positioned in the mid-priced womenswear market for the last 40 years, Gerry Weber ofers covetable garments at more afordable prices than designer collections, but with an elevated level of quality than that found in most high street stores. All Gerry Weber brands are positioned as bridges to the premium segment and ofer a high-quality standard and an excellent ft. But each of the brand families is targeted at a clearly defned target group, says Ralph Weber. Its this tailored approach that has led to the brand building fve successful labels

    Sally McIlhone fnds out about its plans for the future

    GOING

    FOR

    In four decades, Gerry Weber has launched fve diverse womenswear brands and opened 850 stores; it is so successful that the brand is now stocked in over 60 countries worldwide. And thats just the German labels fashion arm. Now an accomplished lifestyle company, Gerry Weber also owns and operates a 13,000-seat stadium, a golf course and an events and conference centre; the company even welcomes an elite clientele at its Sportpark hotel in Dsseldorf. This exceptionally wide-reaching 21st-century retail empire is a far cry from Gerry Webers roots, as a humble manufacturer of womens trousers.

    Yet, rather than rest on its laurels, for spring/summer 2014 Gerry Weber is poised to embark on further expansion with such a rapid upward trajectory, it is becoming the German brand to watch. Ralph Weber, general

    lines which cater to a younger, more trend-

    Unlike most globally successful

    German brands, Gerry Weber established its

    headquarters not in the buzzing metropolis of

    Berlin but in Halle (Westfalen), two hours from

    Dsseldorf and Cologne. All of the brands key

    departments are contained within one central

    location, improving creative efciency. The

    sales, retail, pattern, design and production

    departments are now located under one roof,

    Ralph Weber explains. We have built a modern

    complex for employees which optimises

    co-operation and creates synergies within an

    open and creative atmosphere.

    complete universe around the fashion brands.

    In addition, since 1993 Gerry Weber has

    been running the Gerry Weber Open tennis

    event, which was conceived and managed by

    Ralph Weber. This is the only German ATP

    lawn-tennis tournament featuring stars from

    sport and entertainment. The media coverage

    reaches 120 countries, Ralph says. The

    tournament not only increases recognition

    of the Gerry Weber group, but also associates

    a cosmopolitan image with the brand.

    Another factor that has improved the

    cosmopolitan view of Gerry Weber is the

    opening of the Halle 29 and Halle 30 showrooms

    on the outskirts of Dsseldorf. These two vast

    spaces entice international buyers to peruse

    Gerry Webers full collections each season. By

    investing in these showroom complexes, we are

    signalling that Dsseldorf is a fashion centre.

    The link between perfect porcelain and

    beautifully made clothing might not seem

    obvious but, for Meissen, theres a clear

    connection. Established in 1710 as Europes

    frst porcelain manufactory, the German

    company has a 300-year reputation for its

    commitment to superb quality, painstaking

    workmanship and timeless style, all traits that

    one would also fnd in the most prestigious

    Parisian couture houses. Meissens new

    bespoke clothing line, which launches this

    season, thus seems like a perfectly natural

    progression for one of Germanys top luxury

    houses which already produces collections

    of porcelain art, fne jewellery and homeware.

    The new line draws heavily on Meissens

    illustrious history. Founded at the request of

    Augustus the Strong, Elector Prince of Saxony

    and King of Poland, Meissen began as a

    porcelain factory in the German town of the

    same name at the imposing Albrechtsburg

    castle. Since its inception Meissen has been

    manufacturing approach is dedicated and

    diligent, the refnement process required for

    the materials takes several months and every

    stage of the production process is carefully

    supervised. Whats more, Meissens painters

    and modellers undergo a minimum of three

    years training (and many train for a lot longer

    than that) in order to reach the standard that

    Meissens delicate handmade pieces require.

    Its little wonder, then, that the brand has such

    a longstanding association with quality, style

    and lasting value.

    Throughout its three centuries, the

    company has continued to expand its reach,

    launching several diverse but equally successful

    lines. Continuing its tradition of historic

    porcelain, the company produces an exclusive

    Fine Art collection of limited-edition fgurative

    porcelain pieces, as well as the ArtCampus

    range, which includes one-of pieces made in

    collaboration with contemporary artists. Also

    inspired by the companys rich history is the

    Meissen Joaillerie line, a much-coveted

    jewellery and watch range. The Meissen

    Home and Meissen Home Deco selections

    of furniture, homeware, tableware and

    decorative objects are equally desirable.

    The brand also continues to cater for royalty

    and notable individuals with the Meissen

    Meissens royal clients will no doubt also

    be delighted by the debut fashion collection,
