The magic of travel lies in getting to know local people, their habits and favou- rite places. For the people of Ljubljana the epicentre of good shopping is cer- tainly Citypark, the biggest and the most modern shopping center in Slovenia.

There are ample covered parking spaces, so it’s never difficult to find a park, as well as newly installed charging stations for electric cars.

Citypark has many fashion devotees, since it brings together all the most excit- ing brands – from the prestigious, to those which are a bit more wallet-friendly. Some of the brands available at Citypark include XYZ & Sportina (Fashion store with brands like Armani, Michael Cors, Fracomina …), Adidas, Guess, Desigual, Reserved, Mango, GAP, Levi’s, CCC, Humanic and H & M, all of whom offer fresh fashion trends, a wide range of clothing and footwear, and count- less opportunities to make your shopping experience perfect. Citypark recently welcomed world famous makeup brand MAC cosmetics, first Nespresso shop in Slovenia, first Samsung center and first Primark store in this part of Europe.

They offer everything from fast food to popular flavours from faraway lands. There is also a typical Italian, Balkan and delicious traditional Slovenian dishes.

8 Fashion Talks - Judita Treppo 10, 20 Local Fashion Secrets 12 A Day Perfect For Fashion 18 Key Fashion Pieces 24 Ljubljana Fashion Week 30 A Map Fashion Talks

Q&A Judita Treppo

First lady of fashion and aes- thetics. An el- egant and wit- ty persona who has shaped her- self into the crea- tive director of her own shop at the Judita Treppo elite location in Ljubljana on Wolfova 5, that holds the most exquisite of fashion brands the world’s fashion seasons have to offer year, by year, by year. Wolfova 5 is the only serious multi-brand fashion store in Lju- bljana. When did it all begin? We started nearly two decades ago, quite a history of our dear Wolfova, also probably time and a good reason to sugar our fashion dreams with a crazy anniversary cake in the near future. Do you have any special memories about the opening of Wol- fova 5? I would rather say, all of our days in the store have been special. What brands were you holding at the beginning and what brands to you hold now? Introducing a new brand to Wolfova V has always been a very emo- tional gesture, like opening our home door to a friend. We started in the spirit of Rive Gauche with Madame Rykiel, added her woman designer counterpoint Alberta Ferretti, Moschino brought fun among our hangers. Our present portfolio reflects our fashion taste and attitude of the store: Alexander McQueen, Barbara Bui, Maison Margiela, Rick Owens, Valentino, Isaac Sellam, Kiton, Neil Barrett..., Alberta Ferretti has been with us since our beginnings. You’ve been the store owner long enough to know and pre- dict the shifts of consumers tastes. What changes have you noticed recently? Trends come, some go unobserved, lasting shifts of street-style taste are rare. Perhaps the ‘new Céline’ by Edi Slimane, the fall bourgeois runway trend turned to street-style by fashion crowd al- most immediately in the fashion week Paris, might be a sign of a lasting change.

8 Is there a big difference between local shoppers and tourists? Traveling or at home, it is probably passion for fashion, ours and of our clients that counts, the eye for beauty. What are the key pieces you usually take as a safe guess - pieces you know your customers will want and buy? There seems to be no room for such thoughts as safe proposals when selecting collections - in our passionate marathons for perfect store editorials runway key styles always win. What do you do with the unsold items? Are you holding an outlet of some sort? Seasonal styles are either replaced by new ones by the so called brand’s swap service or they remain in the store to further disposal of our clients at reduced prices as advised by brands. The window displays are a real pleasure for the eye. Who does the decor? What items do you choose to put in the display? It is an enormous pleasure and fun, as well as responsibility for us, too. We enjoy doing windows by ourselves very much, with styles we love, communicating a new fashion atmosphere suggesting new styling modes with our store signature. What’s the difference between being stylish and ele- gant? What do you think being elegant means? Perhaps closest to the many definitions of style in the Oxford English Dictionary would be: freedom and skill for impressive styling of an outfit, originality. On the other hand, elegance is about restraint, taking away, concentrating with grace on clever essentials...., or quoting Chanel, ‘Elegance is refusal’. Do you have any tips and tricks that one could follow to look more elegant? Fashion is fun, adding a charming dash of good mood and a feeling of harmony to art de vivre of our everyday life, let’s simply enjoy it.

10 Local Fashion Secrets A Day Perfect For Fashion

A more or less normal citizen does not start a day earlier than at 8 am. A good coffee brew at Bazilika Bistro (bazilika.si) and some freshly baked croissants, whole- some muffins, banana bread and their signature pies are 08:00a good starter. Especially over some local news, that you either hear form the guests around or read from you your very private phone.

Stop at Lolita (kaval-group.si) and get yourself a tea be- fore you doze off into the maze of fab dresses at fin de siecle Galerija 09:05Emporium.

Take a now very popular e-scooter and swirl toward Menagerie (FB/ @menagerieljubljana) at Gornji trg to enjoy some carbs at the newly opened French bakery. Not only the French know. At Menagerie they can do it 11:51maybe even better.

Time for lunch. Pick something somewhere, if you have no idea what to choose, go to Trubarjeva for A Lebanese mezze (libanonskemeze.si). The best example of com- fort food with no harassment of decision making.12:45 You can simply have it all.

If you want to see fashion applied on locals, continue your walk towards park Tivoli. Just on the edge, when the city merges into the greenery of the park there’s Modern Gallery (mg-lj.si). You’ll see several hip people there, sip- 15:00ping their afternoon coffee, and trying to get the last rays of vitamin D, before the snow evens their skin tones out.

As already in the neighborhood look for a store called Pajk hats (pajk-klobuki.si). Maybe the only hat makers still working in the18:20 broader region.

Newly equipped find your crowd for the night and start you outing with a drink at Magda (FB/ @barmagda), the checkpoint for locals, non-locals and people who just 20:00happened to pass by. 12 Head towards the old city center. Buy yourself some fresh flowers, from the main market. If you are lucky you might get a whole08:40 bucket instead a mere bouquet.

Time for a quick stroll towards Loboda (FB/@loboda.si), the house of best jewelry in town. They offer great ser- vice and lost of knowledge about very exclusive and ex- ceptionally shinny11:11 little things

Boosted on a couple of brioches slide back down to- wards river and get yourself a new fragrance at Ikona (ikonaljubljana.si). A sweet, musky, oud, woody, salty or citric bitter memory on that exact date you’ve spent in Ljubljana.12:20

Quickly walk pass the Three Bridges to avoid groups of tourists and continue along Wolfova street. If you are looking toward the University, you’ll find on your left side a multi brand fashion store called by its street number Wolfova14:10 5 (wolfova5.com). For fashion connoisseurs only. No amateurs allowed.

Speaking of skin tone. A good facial is what’ll want. Talk to the real medical masters, not just cosmeticians. Check in at the Zorman Clinic (plasticna-kirurgija.si) and get them to look at 16:15you very face.

Evening is coming. A moment to get a pair of new boots, shoes or sneakers to stay fly. Check out Viktor Barlič (barlic.si) for shoes, Vodeb (Jurčičev trg 3) for boots and Ikona18:55 (ikonaljubljana.si) for sneakers.

He is an admirer of objects, not necessarily because of their beauty but because of the range of responsibilities and duties that come with the creation, production and care of every single object ever being made. Your designs are filled up with historical references. When and why have you become so passionate about the history? First and foremost I’ve been raised in a family of art and antiques col- lectors, something that has definitely left a mark. Secondary were my industrial design studies in Vienna under Professor Paolo Piva. One of the things he taught me is that every design needs to connect aspects from the past (history), future and the present in order to be accepted by the user / client. Calling something ‘’a good design’’ means that the design has captured the ‘’zeitgeist’’. There is no presence without its history and according to that there is no good contemporary design without including some of the historical archetypes into it. You design textiles and objects and objects with textiles. What makes them David Tavčar? Probably all that I’ve mentioned above, but mainly the aspect of trying to design objects that show respect for the past and the general idea of designing guilt free ‘’fairtrade” products as well as production process- es. A common theme of mine is also research of the traditional crafts and industrial production techniques and trying to use the ‘’research results’’ as a response on the current market demands. They often poses a good amount of humour. What do you think is funny? Is it possible to define funny? I enjoy humour that comes with spontaneity. Since I believe that design and spontaneity don’t have much in common, ‘’the humour compo- nent’’ tends to pop up unexpectedly during the design process, ‘’dry, technical humor’’ can be fun too. Do you laugh a lot? No. Do you live alone? No, I live with a gigantic archive of prototypes. Do you walk around naked at home? Only when I have guests. You’ve designed a collection of boxer shorts. Which are you favourite? It would have to be a classic, the red on white lobster print called Mari- nam. I have a set of matching bed linen made from the same fabric. It’s rather fun when I go to bed in the evening, when ‘’everything matches’’. 34 Which were best sellers? My best seller is a decorative fabric called ‘’Foresta’’ and a range of products made out of it that I designed for the Austrian company Leit- ner Leinen. It comes in numerous blends, material and colour varia- tions. They relaunched it two weeks ago for this season in 11 different variations. Where do you sell your products? The products I’ve designed for Leitner Leinen, Augarten Porzellan Manufaktur, Artemide lighting and other companies are sold wherever their retailers are. The products and editions that I sell under my own label get sold through different retailers and galleries as well as through pop-up stores and an online store that is open from November till Janu- ary. Some stuff was sold at auction houses. I’ve even found some stuff on ebay and ‘’Willhaben’’ which is the Austrian version of ebay. What is your favourite item that you’ve ever made? I like a range of velvet decorative fabrics that I proposed to Leitner Leinen last Friday and a black glossy car paint covered dining chair ‘’Alchemie 1’’ that I designed back in 2014. If you could choose, which brand would you like to design for? I was shortlisted for the ‘’le grand prix du carré hermès’’. It would’ve been nice to win.
