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!

Berlin: Saint Laurent Boutique

As Hedi Slimane evolualize Saint Laurent, all the stores worldwide were totally refurnished. Now, all the spaces of that luxurious French house are all in marble and mirrors that I simply love! It’s just the rock and roll aesthetic of Hedi! Simple, minimalistic, but with balls. And the clothes that supply this store in Berlin… Oh my! Thanks to Hedi Slimane I love Mohair! The striped sweaters are really cool… And all these biker jackets! And grunge boots! Aww. ❤❤❤

Chloe Attitude on Saint Honore

March 26, 2013March 26, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

There is a brand new Chloe boutique in th middle of Rue du Saint Honore next to Mandarin Oriental Hotel that’s just genius! This boutique was possibly opened because of the 60th Anniversary of this Parisian label that was taken under the wings of Karl Lagerfeld to Phoebe Philo. The shop has two beautiful floors decorated in beige and white with classical furnitures, giving a light effect. And, the boutique is totall like Chloe clothes! Delicate and classical!
What came into my eye was the flash from the past dresses, shirts and trousers with jeweled arrows on sides that were designed in past by Lagerfeld and the metallic coloured shoes on the first floor. But much more things was there- for example two classical Chloe bags revisted- one exclusively for the Saint Honore edition and one… For the Mandarin Oriental Hotel!
