2:32 pm
the presentation and also selection of the food but how do you plan such a huge event like the german press bowl. this is the man responsible for all the delicacies at the press ball stefan everhart head chef at the hotel adlon kempinski . although he doesn't prepare all the food himself he dreamed up the color their creations and combined them to form a theme and concept. and only one. good enough for him is good enough for the guests. the third has to taste good there has to be enough of it has to suit the evening's. need to be impressed by what they say. one hundred cooks put his ideas into practice after six months of preparation everything is completed within three days. stephan ever hardest task is to rush
2:33 pm
back and forth between five kitchens and keep an eye on everything. and then. my job is to see as much as possible and pay attention to detail on my staff. and see how they're coping find out if there are any problems. some twenty three hundred guests are expected to attend the german press. preparing food for that number of people is a logistical challenge. all the ingredients including half a ton of vegetables must be delivered on time and processed immediately. move. everything has to go everyone needs to know what they're doing the food is delivered on the same day that we. prepared on tuesday wednesdays food on wednesday and so on i don't have to work. if that isn't the case where in trouble.
2:34 pm
the hotel adlon is staging the press for the third time for every hard it's the highlight of the year. and being a good chef isn't enough. creativity is also called for. the best ideas come to you when you're not really trying. and you get an idea and then you think about what to make of it if it succeeds. everhart spent more time in his office than in the kitchen creating dishes to suit the evening's motto change of perspective. eighty percent of my job is writing down what we need to do. things you aren't really sure of the other twenty percent is putting the gradients together in the kitchen and sampling the food.
2:35 pm
from a local. sustainability is important to stefan edberg. the motto change of perspective includes looking at how we will eat in the future. after searing. and then roasted with oil and herbs in the oven. i think it's important to say that the food on the plate. and that's a lot of went into it. doesn't. that's why i want people to go home and say i dined out of. step on every hard combines craftsmanship and creativity to make sure the press ball is a night to remember. after looking at all the fantastic food on offer here and i
2:36 pm
have to say it's really really hard to decide what to eat there are fourteen food stalls in all at the bowl with very different layouts and food in huge quantities for example three thousand or he says in addition stephanie behind and his team have prepared eighty kilograms of steaks and one hundred fifty kilograms of fish and don't forget the desserts which looks so nice there they are almost too good to eat but not everyone has to line up at the buffet around three hundred guests will be served a proper meal and would dine together with a german president from vita. and the man year or eight is featured on cubes like this one i designed to do a made it about the cube isn't the only thing martin schmidt and stefan came up with they spend nine mom designing the entire look of the german press ball. the twenty seven thousand price polish getting its love from switzerland martin
2:37 pm
shmeat and germany's stephan calypso from the invitations to the interior decoration the two design is have created a career in total concept the theme of this is bull is a change of perspective. we try to make it a little abstract so we address the theme of perspectives in a bold way and executed it in three dimensions. it's always a bit of a balancing act since this is a very traditional event a classic ball but we tried to style it in a kind of modern way to give. me develops visual concepts and print products for clients in germany under the old. his work for major events such as the swiss film awards for restaurants and hotels. it all began with a german press poll this is the sixteenth year that the graphic and industrial designer has created the invitations he won the bid for the first time in two
2:38 pm
thousand and two. that was a surprise i came to berlin to study and not necessarily to work i never have dreamed that we as such a young design office would win the contract. and through that we've learned a great deal over the years. with. the imitations and many you can't get the finishing touches through the choice of paper they're printed on paper make money from the very a has been producing high quality paper for customers around the world since eight hundred twenty nine. for five years the company provided the golden globes with the us scribbled ceremonies months most glamorous contract. and his team are responsible for more than just invitations and menu cards for the press pool in a warehouse furniture lamps and other items way to be pushed in just the right place. but i think we start the logistics
2:39 pm
a month ahead of time and then we have only a few hours to get everything in a few hours to get everything out the next day looks as if nothing happened. up to seventy employees work on the press pool project they constantly faced with new challenges this year they have to assemble one hundred eighty five menu cubes they're meant to be more than just a list of the dishes. sometimes people are seated at a table together and they don't know each other and then it's always good if they have something to talk about. either the flowers or in this case the menu cards which are unconventional go to people have to share one cars one so there's bound to be a bit of fighting over them. but otherwise of course the design is hope that the ball goes off a smoothly as possible the goal this time is to encourage the guests to change
2:40 pm
their perspective if just for a few allies. we've changed locations again and on the way here i discovered this fantastic ring made of the real flower at this year's press ball the guests can really blossom vaal they don't necessarily need a floor address so they can pick up the right accessories at this step for example some flowers from the hair because such flora creations are very much in vogue right now ounds flowers are also playing an important role on the catwalks. flowers as far as the eye can see many of the recent collections by major fashion designers include floral pattern and women's and men's wear printed and applique a mini fashion experts see the trend as an expression of contemporary sentiment. despite what in what is an old saying in fashion the tougher the times the crazy
2:41 pm
the clothes and that fits very well right now we're going through incredibly turbulent times so it's no surprise that people look for destruction in fashion lines haunted elements that add color it's like they're making the world how they'd like it to be if it. wearing flowers in your hair is trendy to. the timeless floral wreath is also making a comeback whether homemade already made from plastic flowers. made from real flowers are popular at weddings. dozens of tutorials on the internet show how to make them. all that's needed to make one is some fresh blossoms and an idea of the proper technique. to do before i don't know what you mean he's done with the fin for a twig like this and lay another twig into the middle you know how do you then you
2:42 pm
leave the three takes to get it just like you prayed had. the braid should be about one hundred times as long as the circumference of your head so it'll be easier to tell you then you make it you can be a little tight because it'll stretch and tie up the loose ends on the menu thank you sam but. then the blossoms can be stuck into the gaps and one of the world's oldest and most popular accessories is ready to wear. an eight hundred forty britain's queen victoria wore a wreath of orange blossoms to her wedding. the flower children of the one nine hundred sixty s. that blossoms in their hair as an expression of peace and freedom. mexican painter frida kahlo made herself a living work of art with lavish moral headdresses.
2:43 pm
american singer a lot of del ray has picked up on the tradition she's been wearing for wreaths in her hair ever since her musical breakthrough in two thousand and eleven. now they become something of a trademark and a look many of her fans are copying. at berlin milan and paris fashion weeks two flowers are a favorite catwalk. accessory japanese label come to god has made them part of their twenty seven team spring and summer collections even from men's wear. designers are letting flowers make colorful fashion statements for a season anyway. a good party also
2:44 pm

2:48 pm
