climate change. waste. pollution. isn't it time for good news eco went to africa people and projects that are changing our environment for the better it's up to us to make a difference let's explain to. the committee for the environment magazine. on d w. i want to welcome to another edition of your own max i'm your host meghan leaf from fancy fastened to interesting architecture we've got lots of european culture on life so on the show today here's a look at what's coming up. dream dress we visit the collection of british royalty

bridal gowns and kensington palace. orange outfits and attire and company makes textiles from the fields of citrus fruit. and concrete construction who visit a seaside holiday home in force. they're all there just a few days to go before prince harry and meghan markle say i do before the world and already there is tons of speculation about her wedding dress but royal watchers are certain that it will make history and this is not meg and mark rolls first marriage so will the dress reflect so that factual so far kensington palace has kept tight lipped on most of the wedding details therefore we had to do a bit of research ourselves about what will likely be the dress of the year.

the transmission mark in the official engagement photos last year raised some eyebrows and that reportedly cost sixty thousand euros it goes without saying that when it comes to royal weddings bit of sweden's princess victoria or maxima getting married to prince william alexander of the netherlands no expenses past the guest list is exclusive to festivities lavish and the bride's dress has to be a showstopper. when prince william and catherine middleton tied the knot in twenty eleven the public was given the day off harry and meghan's wedding would be quite a spectacular after all harry is only six in line to the throne but there's just as much speculation and excitement surrounding megan's wedding dress as there was about kate. this is not just a dress for a day this is a dress that's going to be remembered throughout roll history it will have its own

unique place in royal history and never nice to be timeless make in is pretty daring when it comes to fashion and but i think we'll see her go down a very classic and traditional way when it comes to her wedding dress. for start it will be white. in eight hundred forty eight young queen victoria was the first royal bride to wear a simple white dress to marry prince albert of saks kobo. and go tough at the time this wasn't a popular choice for wedding dresses thanks to queen victoria it became a tradition. all the bridal gowns of the royal family are being kept at kensington palace. it's not the big expensive silver and gold dresses of theirs and in generations her wedding dress is a simple dress made out of an off white silk satin it is trimmed with lace and embellished with flowers. over the years displays of pomp and ceremony have become increasingly dazzling starting in the twentieth century westminster abbey is the

wedding venue of choice for british royals. it was here in one thousand nine hundred twenty three that elizabeth bowes lyon or the queen mum as she was better known married the juke of york the later king george the six. in one nine hundred forty seven her daughter elizabeth then still just a princess or satin gown decorated with crystals on poles with a for metre long train the second world war was only just over and the future queen had to purchase the fabric using clothing ration coupons brides to be from all parts of the country donated hundreds of their own clothing coupons to help her pay for her dress. were all family has always made it weddings public events letting everybody in on the fun is a way of boosting public enthusiasm for the royal family. the star of

the ceremony is always inevitably the bride and her dress. the trustees have to rise to this occasion they become bigger and bigger and more and more and apparat they have to carry these extraordinarily powerful space into the space time with attitudes and addresses have to be have to compete with that. one of them. memorable wedding dresses in british history was the one worn by lady diana spencer when she married prince charles in one nine hundred eighty one and event watched by seven hundred fifty million people worldwide designed by elizabeth emanuel and her husband david the ivory soap taffeta gown was decorated with antique lace and embroidery sequins and ten thousand. fairytale dress we tried to make it that way and we knew that suppose with such a big place the tree would have it it just like it had had to fill the space and we

wanted to really make people think that the dress we designed was the vision the absolute epitome of what a princess would wear because the whole thing was a fairy story to live together according to kate middleton also wore a fairy tale dress when she married prince william in twenty eleven designed by alexander mcqueen's creative director sarah burton it had an ivory satin bodice was padded slightly at the hips a narrow to the waist which designer will meghan markle pick. we didn't have very long to wait to see who she's chosen there's a lot of speculation that it may be ralph and recently who are one of mccain's favorite designers in fact she chose a route from i say dress for official engagement to a picture is so i would say that that is probably a good bet but that she's not just having one dress she is having to dress this one for the seventy and one for the evening reception so maybe she has chosen one design it's made them both will possibly she's changed to design is to make those two different dresses. one thing's for sure making muckle will be wearing white

when she walks down the aisle and when the big day is over the dress will join the collection for one wedding gown. all right now is a good time to let you in on this week's drop we're looking for your best to wedding photos now if you have one either from your own wedding or from your friends then please share it with us and by doing so you qualify to win this nifty royal wedding set complete with meghan and harry's engagement photo on it just go to our website for all of the details are moving on now to a brief look at other stories making headlines on the culture scene today. the documentary berlin's treasure trove premiered in berlin on tuesday co-produced by german public broadcasters d w r b b and it explores the work of the pression cultural heritage foundation their collection in campuses over five million objects

a married couple who claim to have landed in berlin in a time machine after the fall of the wall now instead of being the art opening crashers they have their own exhibition running here in berlin it focuses on their love for each other and the risks that they've taken with their chosen lifestyle. a living breathing artwork takes a tour of its own retrospective of paintings photographs videos and collectors items all devoted to a single theme the bubble gum pink world of eva and adele of the berlin artist duo have devoted their lives to performance one they've maintained twenty four seven for twenty seven years made up to the hilt with bald heads and identical outfits and a daler are their own artwork they describe themselves as the third sex playing with identity and gender boundaries. largest since they are others to think about tolerance courage puti and fantasy.

future well the future looks this lively and colorful and lovely then we really have nothing to be afraid of. ever and a day like to say wherever we are is a museum whether in a cafe on the twenty. or at the pool everything is a performance and aims to inspire others to share in their fantasy world. can one can and for us there is no such thing as daily routine. trying to make every day celebration a beautiful celebration. and trueness for. as zest for life and an appeal for tolerance as a nonstop performance as a pair twenty four hours a day three hundred sixty five days a year. normally oranges are used for making orange suits and the like but when one starts up in sicily got their hands on them they turn them into items of clothing orange fiber makes the same of all textiles from the

rinds of the citrus fruits and as you will see the results are quite appealing. it's not silk it's six s. this dress is made from fabric out of orange fibers and it doesn't just turn heads . anyone who sees it has the urge to touch and smell it if it doesn't get out. home to some sixty seven thousand hectares of orange groves cicely's italy's main producer of oranges there are citrus trees as far as the eye can see. to be honest something a cheeto grew up amid the orange groves along the eastern coast after studying fashion in the land she returned home to marry the knowledge she acquired in italy's fashion capital with the fruits of her native region. here in sicily waste disposal is a huge challenge for the only she's industry. gave me the idea to combine two

typical italian products the fashion and citrus fruits and yes the new dotted a company aimed at making fashion more sustainable. in twenty fourteen she in the friend founded a startup called orange fiber to experiment with the fruit and developer production process to turn orange juice by products into fabric juice producers on the island collaborated on the project. in the end that they pressed the juice out of the oranges and what's left over is this here the peel. still. want to. know why extract the fellows from the peel with a process that we have paid into it s. that i am all. the room material is sent to a factory in spain that extracts the plant fibers from the peels and spins them into fine yawns. these go back to

which late where another partner in como transforms them into a white textile to. can be produced as an opaque iridescent fabric. this can be dyed in printed like traditional textiles and mixed with materials like silk coffee . person a little bit about the always good and bible who here textile out of orange peels initially expect the material to be rough. but they look at that but it's very soft on the skin and feels a bit like silk. so in that bed. the storied italian fashion house salvatore thought i don't know is already won over. it launched a capsule collection made from orange fiber fabrics and fittingly orange blossoms are recurring motif. just a few weeks later all inspired by garnet international attention at the g. seven summit in the sicilian result of ptolemy not where first ladies mounting

a trump and appear to take a shine to the fabric. of the startup has already picked up numerous innovation prizes proof that there's a future for sustainable fashion. five one tap brand to convey two different things sustainability but also not sure. we want to show that fashion doesn't need to be any beautiful it can be good to want to the company has its sights set on further growth and be seeking to we know for more designers and textile producers and since the fashion industry is always looking for new exclusive materials oranges may soon be the source of your own soft tauriel style. oranges are multi-functional aside from those clothes that clothing items they go

perfectly well in ice cream or is your brings us to our next object. knocking at our door and that means everyone will be screaming for ice cream or if you had to guess where ice cream comes from you might say italy but in fact it can be traced back to china we take a closer look now and it's cool history. but you know what is good. ice cream it can be all colors of the rainbow and comes in a seemingly endless variety of flavors and there's nothing quite as refreshing on a hot day summer as the season of the ice cream parlor in germany they're often called when it's here and they always have been. together for money it was my grandfather's place then my father's and now it's mine it's a tradition i think it's. jimmy's home to over five thousand ice cream parlors. more than half of them all

italian genitive. ice cream became popular in germany with the arrival of italian migrants nearly one hundred years ago. the first us coupon is opened here in the one nine hundred twenty s. but it wasn't until the fifty's that their popularity began to bloom. back then few households have freezers so anyone with a craving for a frozen dessert her to go for it and they did it in droves. i don't. know how. many of those see me as the proprietor of another vinnie. is something we don't have at least we just what you see here. how come it talons are so good at making those screen. the thing to decide think it's the way we're brought up we don't follow recipes italians don't follow recipes we improvise we

draw all sorts of things together and see what we end up with if it tastes good all the better when schmidt come to duke it out in fact ice cream originally comes from china and dates back some five thousand years markopolos supposedly brought the recipe back to venice. the popsicle is said to have been invented by an american around one hundred years ago. ice cream was becoming a big business in one nine hundred fifty five german ice cream manufacturer long knees that began making popsicles and two years later followed suit in the. last year to an average of seven point nine meters of ice cream consume per capita in germany that's about one hundred thirteen scoops per person only the scandinavians eat more ice cream especially the finns who consume more ice cream than anyone else in europe. come and go and the one nine hundred seventy s. and eighty's was the heyday of the double meaty popsicle packed full of artificial coloring and flavoring to generations it brings back happy memories.

need outside maybe. i should have came there. no wonder so many ice cream parlors are called when it's the name conjures up holidays in the sun blue skies and mediterranean magic. and in germany it's simply what ice cream palace have always been called. so that's yeah that's always been called. lots of customers have been coming here since they were kids before the war even when people have been to italy or france they come here and say oh i used to come here when i was young reviewed so by your

t.v. . times have changed and so have the ice cream flavors but the collective appetite for ice cream is one thing that surely will stay as big as ever. and finally my favorite part of the show when we get a sneak peek into someone's humble abode i visited a house in the alley and tazer. agent of portugal designed by star architect. and this is no ordinary home as it's made up of several units some of which do not have a roof that was done on purpose and not because the builder ran out of money or we meet up now with the owner to hear about the concept behind his summer residence. at first glance this house may look unfinished but that's tension here the idea of space is redefined unlike most homes where all the rooms are under one roof this house was built in units parts of which are without

a roof. this is called speculation and it's by evelyn have decorated with pieces they found locally bought the land in two thousand and twelve. home was completed three years later. in the house was to be opened to nature open to view. the trees and to be the same time together we are here in the main living room and as you can see you have huge windows so we can enjoy being outside and inside we've got a problem since we want to have be independent from friends of our friends. for a different units which bedroom we found our own bathroom so. quiet now sophie area. of life we've actually

interacting with. this is. this is like a house without a roof. the main house is one hundred square meters but the total living space and up to about two hundred square metres the exterior walls of the structure are made of concrete like wood. wanted to keep it simple frank sure will. and the same time open. the price you can see as a roof. the architect drew inspiration for this contemporary dwelling from empty roofless houses that frequently dot the portuguese countryside and since i'm in taiz you see very few

rainy days per year it's also a concept that works here. ok as you can see this is a traditional portuguese farmhouse over a region of island. and this is the type of house that wanted to go up like it's this is why we chose a very sort of a sape from the inside and vishay proof proof type but we didn't like actually so much of the. traditional ties so we said to be architect and that was the his idea to use the traditional frame of portuguese house but we have in the modern and sort of been released way. this house sits on seven hectors of land and also includes an infinity pool which looks out over the atlantic ocean. the weather in the leaders is mostly mild and reason creating a summertime feeling all year. so over since the end of our

literature or i hope you enjoyed the house as we enjoy it and it's time to say goodbye. i think i'll be up there or. when there's also time for us to say goodbye but if you want to see more on the show then please check us out on social media from me and the rest of the crew here at euro max as always thanks for joining us and buy from relying. on the next. edition of your imax in just a few days time. magazine will be tying the knot in windsor. wedding much dicer is going on sale coming months. from mugs to royal wedding they are cashing in on pitch next time on your a max. of
