he's grecians. his brand. karl lagerfeld. look what do we really believe about the man behind the torch. what motivates him how does he think the private moments of the life of the great designer is going to. start september. come to your max fish and make you happy that's one of the questions we're answering on our show today but let's first have a quick look at what else is coming up. a remarkable woman french artist was easy

no one has published a new book with travel scripts it's. pop music hero british singer recounts things back with a new album. precious time pieces visit classic to increase in germany which is famous for its watchmaking tradition. to shop for clothes is a lot of fun but this fashion really make you happy we wanted to find out more and learn to copenhagen on the one hand because the biggest fashion week in all the new world is currently in full swing there and that's because according to the word happiness report the danes are always among the happiest people in the world's the so-called scandal have something to do with it let's find out. this year's copenhagen fashion week is a showcase of what's come to be known as scandi style thirty three designers from

around scandinavia are presenting their creations for next summer in the audience is danish fashion reporter cilla henning she knows her way around europe scout walks and can tell us what's unique about fashion from the north to navan passion you can eat where it doesn't it's not so complicated you can mix it in different ways and if. it's like it's good every day you can use it if not why only cup hockey on the weekend but not to use it with a pike around even to be able to even want to do that to have a really kind of easy going and laid back attitude towards fashion so scandinavian style is comfortable and stylish these principles have guided designers at labels like ghani or some soon sound soon as well as newer competitors. and launch. a young fashion capital city that said that we still have a really good approach to having it's been made in all to me it's like being a personal style everybody is kind about finding your own personality in your style

and i think that kind of give us a lot we don't just want to be you know the girl with the bat we want to be the one who i trust the things in our own direction wardell way. the danes like to be cosy and comfortable or as they say the humans world happiness report often places the danes ahead or just behind the norwegians and finns as the world's happiest people just danish fashion reflects that just scandinavian fashion make people happy people don't seem stressed out much behind the scenes here at the fashion week whether for the label blushes opening show or at the whole swathe or table not even when things have fallen behind schedule. then my stress if you let stress take over nothing good can come of it anyway that's why it's so important for us to keep calm. and achieve our goals. the designers are often inspired by street style so alongside more natural tones lots of vibrant hues seen

on the streets of europe's northernmost cities were on the catwalk at copenhagen fashion week it's a concept that resonates with customers. personally and makes me very happy it's a way for people to express themselves and also for me so it makes me having to see all these different clothes and different styles that they put out there i just enjoy dressing up really nice i just think it makes me feel good when i look good as i think fashion makes. because it's about colors it's expression on people you know the what you wear is the kind of making a sick no and i think it has a huge impact on how we approach and look at people it makes you happy because it's a way to express yourself and a week to show the world who you are and there's no wrong way doing it it's

just showing your personal style i think a question can also. it can also make you feel a lot of other things because it's also an art form i think but for me definitely it can create some kind of happiness. so what makes the scandinavian designer so successful does being in a good mood help you be more creative. in from blanche says it does. to me inspiration is everywhere but i think i work best when i'm happy and i work best when i'm out long people i work best in the friendly happy environment and with people i love and trust because i put my work my marks down and i open my senses and to me that's the best way to be creative when you. and positivity are very important to us both in the way we live and how we create our collections.

but there's more to it than that according to me a couple gor a designer at samson and samson. were definitely sign for people to being able to move around to bicycle to work. to make their life easier and maybe in that way make them happy about that this time in the end. everyone here seems to agree fashion can make you happy a simple message that will hopefully make its way from copenhagen fashion week to the rest of the world. where here in berlin at the moment is very clear clothes that are as areas possible it is just unbelievably warm in the german capital but also elsewhere in europe more now in today's express. as temperatures hit over forty degrees celsius in the shade in rome city

us about all types. francoise gilo is ninety six years old. and she looks back on a long productive and rewarding career in which she created over five thousand drawings and sixteen hundred paintings some of my. three of her travel sketchbooks have just been published in a limited edition volume. so with a mixture of words and oranges mixed together. the images are in studies for later paintings for the works in her own rights. they capture the experiences she low one trips to venice india and senegal. when i was a young it's

a long time ago i used to go in the subway and make the point of people in the subway. and then you know of it is a notebook in my pocket and not not do anything for me it just was. it's interesting to know that it knows of a face or something but that doesn't mean i'm going to do a kid that usually under completely i go away from nato. because. it's interesting but that's that may be for i felt i felt for me. geo on the coast as a shaded from the sun by public because so for ten years she was the partner muse of one of the twentieth century's most famous painters and had two children with him. it didn't end well for the spanish master she low left him alleging

infidelities and abuse. because i didn't take it very well. francoise you know painted before she met the castle and continued afterwards for the rest of her life for her that creation was a form of self affirmation. her works reflect the spirit of a century they're neither radically abstract nor comfortably figurative but emphasize color space and rhythm she love followed her own path. then thing is it is essentially they would not then they would not be that that's what i can say. does it does nothing to do with where my bending is good

old bad though successful whatever then thing is a kind of need like somebody needs to eat the brain. smother madelaine was a watercolor painter her father a successful business man. in one nine hundred forty one while studying law in paris france was secretly took drawing and painting lessons. two years later she decided to become an artist and her family broke off all contact with her. and i've been painting since i don't know when and when men will not allowed to do the same. as an leave it was a. silly little things for young girls or something like that but in the twenty first century there were men. taken the power to bend themselves the man would all not the same way but

with their own their own power so to speak. france was. a woman who many has always been determined to pursue her own idea of art. the next artist has also worked hard for success i'm talking about rick astley thanks to his hits like a never gonna give you up together for ever the british musician rose to world fame and the eighties and became a millionaire in his early twenty's so he treated himself to a long a hiatus of about twenty five years but the break is over and now he has released his second album after a comeback it's called beautiful life have a listen. rick astley has released a new album. in

and the singers first success wasn't a one off follow up albums also climb the child's. soul with. the one nine hundred eighty s. flashed past a purchased superstar within the space of just six years he sold forty million albums worldwide. i. box by the mid ninety's the demands of being a star began to tell and astley started thinking about quitting the business. the problem with fame if you can call it a problem is that you don't get to turn it off even if you're on holiday on a beach. even if you're trying to teach your daughter to swim in a swimming pool you don't get to turn off. the dropped off the radar stuck to his
