Munich: (My)Theresa Store

August 10, 2013August 10, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

Munich is a great place for visiting, not only because of the great museums and monuments, but also for superb shopping! Today I will show you my three favourite places up here! And, if you want to see what is in stores, just see the labels on my Pages footside!

If you are familiar to on-line shopping, you for sure know the German site Mytheresa, which has all the coolest and luxurious labels in one place! As the site is based in Munich, there is a store called Theresa that is like a real world shop! Well, it’s really good for health after shopping online… Theresa store has the hottest shoes in their accessorise part, like Prada booties or Louboutin high heels. Labels like Miu Miu, Celine, Saint Laurent, Altuzarra, Alexander McQueen and Balenciaga will be found in a warm, huge space, covered with pink velvet… Its a REAL, not virtual, fashion paradise! If only Net-A-Porter had it’s real store…

Munich: Maison Martin Margiela

So, my first favourite place is Maison Martin Margiela boutique, hidden as always from tourists. All in white, with surrealistic furnitures and with mirrors around, you shall see the Moleskine cotton paper notebook and beautiful “things” like shoe candles and ink pens. But, the coolest are of course clothes! For women I found most shoes and bags exciting, and at mens the fur coat stole the spotlight. The service was very nice, and soon you will see what I bought! P.S. I still have white dots behind my eyes of that intense colour use in the store! 😄

Munich: Toshi Restaurant

August 9, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

The Toshi Restaurant in Munchen, Germany, is a top Japanese Cuisine restaurant in the whole Bavaria region! Known for highest quality products of raw fish and ingredients straight from Japan, amazing service and very detailed cooking skills are in this beautiful, minimalistic space!
The biggest highlight of the restaurant is for sure the Shabu-Shabu (Wagyu beef that you boil in broth with shitake and other strange sounding veggies…) and overally the selection of Wagyu. But, not forgetting of something more simple, so sushi, the rolls, maki and nigiri are just mind blowing! Everything is done in such a masterpiece state, you just don’t want to end your meal!

Berlin: Schumacher Love

July 28, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

The beautiful Schumacher boutique is located in the Quartet 206 building, next to stores of Moschino and Brille 54. But first of all, what is Schumacher? No it’s not one of these not popular Parisian labels or something else this type. It’s super famous German label that is known for beautifully made clothes in pretty low prices! All German women have something from Schumacher, and it’s on the level of Miu Miu! Schumacher is design by Miss Dorothee Schumacher, that as she says, designs clothes for women to be completing their looks. Totally agree because every women wering this Berlin based label looks stylish and warm. Just as their woolen sweaters and beautiful, cute dresses. Plus, it is not copying famous designers like Givenchy nor Prada- it has it’s own style, with cute prints and colourful stones attched on the collars and scarves! And this boutique over here is definitely the best of all- with a characteristic Schumacher wallpaper showing their circular packaging boxes, and warm, simpatic pastel colours used on sofas and chairs. Additionally, the service gives you some free Schumacher water! Friedrichstraße 71 in the Quartet 206

Berlin: Grosz

July 27, 2013January 6, 2024 | Design & Culture by Ed

The Grosz Restaurant is the hottest place in Berlin recently, with it’s majestic interior of a renovated old building on Kudammstarsse. The food here is a mix of European and Asian- you can try here the shrimps, octopuses and clumps in Tempura and also roasted veal with thyme sauce and seasonal vegetables! Maybe the service is rude, but the atmosphere is really beautiful and relaxing after a exhausting shopping day. All cutlery is by Meisel, so pretty exclusive, and on Summer you may sunbathe with some champagne and beef carpaccio in their elegant garden. What more, there is a cute patisserie next to… This restaurant beats all other ones in Berlin with it’s classic, a bit Art Deco design, and delightful cuisine!
