fashion design in boston. invents where it all began. getting e-mails because that we liked each other's style. and even when you've been like them when we became friends and again talking about what kind of fashion we like so we thought let's go to troy in. the dual founder of the auto lingo label three years ago in berlin it's steadily grown in popularity today they're conducting fittings in preparation for their first show at paris fashion week for the two swiss partners will even get to present their unconventional creations as part of the official calendar of events they describe their style as fiction and fantasy as it was nice and there's always something new there always surprises sometimes familiar things are reinterpreted perhaps in a unique way so it's an adventure. the highlight of their new collection is

a ripped and faded hawaiian print kartika. they need less than all think and the lines have been you can see the whole process by looking at the when it's clear how it's been made me dimple joked. one day later backstage moments before the fashion show this was designers are getting nervous. but there's no reason to worry the show is packed with fashion enthusiasts. the editor in chief of vogue germany christiane amanpour is there along with many other journalists and autoloading of friends to. modeling areas like new. construction garments environment and. it's just like something about the new illness that i think people are really. absolutely my favorite. the models enjoy the autoloading a look as well. it's the kind of closer you can wear like on the days of being you

know whole look so great especially is and then straight a comb. or tolling i make songs called tours which can be worn at a fashion show or treasuries for who's going to a normal day. their garments are perfectly tailored and have the distinct look like these fairly recognizable white and red checkered shirt. once known only to a select few alter their noses known regarded as a trend setting label which even manages to stand out in the paris fashion more. just to buy my i think it's absolutely exciting to see what these women are coming up with i like their approach and it's all about beauty for us so when and in their creations too and they're constantly reflecting on what is and what isn't a beautiful and they do that well you know for every outfit presented you inevitably ask yourself are those beautiful garment or are they know what. i

appreciate fashion inspiring us to engage in reflection on the bidens and of involved until a really talented to sew for you can see right away in the shapes and cigarettes of the designs there are many commercials pieces which is read in my opinion. their designs are extremely calm at the same time some pieces could also be a commercial success. in twenty seventeen the women won this week's design awards and they were shortlisted for this year's l b m h prize for young fashion designers . that allowed them to present their works to or jury of fashion experts including the likes of susan makers and the no one tool. so member teams have also noticed the new label singer beyonce even commissioned a special outfit for herself. an audience has bought several pieces from

a. and then we go through our presidency ritual projects with we'd like to create something for her to you know to a you know if it's right and within what felt like forty eight hours we put something together and made it for her busy you know yet it all went really quickly so we got the request the centrist sketch made the piece and she wore one of us to live it backstage in berlin by bicycle two as they say we got the news that she wanted to come to talking. about owning a style has gone down well in paris to hear that also presented a few outfits for men and are considering launching their own menswear collection the designer duo still has a lot of plans in store so we're sure to hear much more from them in the future. we stay in the fashion capital to take a look at what big leave us on the wall brought to the show above all where it took place on that and the news from europe now in today's express.

at the foot of the eiffel tower fashion house son of all made a splash with its new some a collection of paris fashion week. french actress catherine deneuve and the original supermodels carla bruni sarkozy and cindy crowfoot where monkey guests at the spectacular show. on the catwalk flooded with water the models sported short shorts and even skimpy his swimsuits for what one can only hope will be a hot summer in twenty nineteen. hit london's royal academy of boxers celebrating its two hundred fiftieth anniversary by launching one of the world's most extensive exhibitions bought from oceania. prince harry's wife maggie the duchess of sussex was given a preview tour of the exhibition on tuesday and she even received

a traditional maori welcome. some two hundred workers from the southeast asia pacific region can be seen at the royal academy of arts oceania show it opens on friday. but the. seville is once again hosting its lobby and now flamenco festival the world's biggest event of its kind that attracts elemental grapes from across spain . this year the popular festival is taking place for the twentieth time. just. seville is considered the birthplace of flamenco an art form which encompasses both music and dance. this year's labia now features a mix of traditional and more modern adaptations of flamenco art and run central saturdays thanks to our.

that's left in for a human being as the maker or creator account exhibition and bad as its title for except for that reason it focuses on european craftsmanship a sector which is made up of some fifty million people in europe but nowadays more and more of these traditional trades are being taken over by machines and working with their hands is no longer as valued or appreciated the exhibition and will follow court's attention to this. venice has been a cultural hotspot since the middle ages now on the island of sun georgiou majority the city is funded see only achieving is putting on a special exhibition devoted to the work of art and designers in times of home or father if an is the vast variety of european craftsmanship through the ages. we want to tell a story which is beautiful because it's a true story it's a story of

a man the maker this is the title of a father someone in oregon the. challenge of hughes or her or her own parents can create a more human future this is the key message that we want to transmit to the young generation your talent can change the world. this show is not just about craftsmanship however it also highlights that in many instances humans are much better creating things that machine. each of the eighteen exhibition spaces is dedicated to one specific aspect of european craftsmanship. there is one for example that is all about fashion we can see in the exhibition it's. about fifty objects of largely contemporary fashion that

have some kind of relationship to to craft but in different ways so it can be a special technique that has been mastered like leather tooling it can be the sheer number of hours taken to make a piece it can be like a skit but i really suit where there are two hundred fifty thousand knots that are the decoration of the suit. from modern bicycle construction to jewelry making and so much more. overall some three hundred different. of traits on display. visitors can watch most a craftsman and women at work as well as attend workshops and tools on the future of craftsmanship. and it's also a great place to meet and to see what's available in europe today because most often it's very difficult to actually

see and find and define the the know how that are available and so i think this is really a fantastic place to see all the different aspects and to meet all the different. cross and ships. nineteen temporary work spaces were specially built for the show which runs until the end of september home of father is designed to inspire people to try their hand at making creations of their own who knows maybe it will even inspire some to become elitism once themselves. it's not only traits that need to be learned to mastering a sport also takes a lot of practice today's edition of our series extraordinary a letter x. is a perfect example here well then a lot of tourist sites see un sec ways but that's not the only thing they're used for athletes have also found a clever way to use the personal transporter equipped with

a ball and people all over the word discovering segway polo we gave for if you double your reporter mike you could go one day to prepare yourself for a real game was it enough let's find out. if holmes has fought with a long tradition when it's played on horseback but what about on the sec way what this mission lacks in tradition that makes up for a potential a good segue can cost as much as a polo pony but luckily for me here in hanover the club supplies the equipment i have two problems first. i've never wrote a segway before second i don't know anything about polo but today i supposed to learn all that and they say it's no problem but. if i can play i've got a couple of things in the workshop everyone here is a lot more experienced than me at least they can stay up if you can't control everything on the segway by shifting your weight. braking.

and turning. i have to develop a feeling for it and fast it's so easy to write if you start feeling too sure of yourself. and i'm not the only one. who. learned from the experts now to learn the rules of the game they adopted from normal polo by the way there's always a lot of green something smart and read something out what's this oddly this sport is changing and the rules change with it it's not finished yet. finding out what we can do better and when we do there's nothing objectionable about adapting the rules of play to accommodate it. but it doesn't mean we play it one way today another way tomorrow and completely different the day after tomorrow

. there are some three hundred active players worldwide and they are organized and the international segway polo association they are world and european championships. but barbados is home to the reigning world champions other teams can be found in new zealand sweden and the united states and silicon valley where the game was pioneered by apple co-founder steve wozniak the spot is proving it in germany. be an olympic sport and i'll say that much we don't want to get that big but we do want to grow we'd like it to get a little bigger. back to my workshop i need a helmet. twenty kilometers per hour but the risk of an accident should not be taken lightly that explains why a made a phone. pushing like this is not allowed you have to really hit it about

a metre ahead and then right after it for every time i think it's easy they say a break and. try to play the ball correctly with a mallet or at least as well as a couple of practice shops and we can divide up into teams. actually have to play. through. spring on one. unlike and normal physical contact with opponents is strictly prohibited but it often happens anyway. a match usually chuck us each eight minutes long it's always five on five if i'm really doing my best. that was a goal. that was really cool. going to all of us are you know what's really hurting

right now your wrist because the bat is so heavy and you're not used to it so. they are only short breaks moving maybe easy the play is not. i feel like i had wiped the whole gym because everything is aching now and my muscles are really hurting me. but i have to go to the next chapter. in the final minutes i just wasn't able to get back in stride anymore and you have a claims that cyclical is not exhausting is a mistake so muscles are inevitable. but hey i was there. and it is learning polo on the one day what do you thing mission accomplished on not that's why i think i would you like to join our club i would sign you up immediately for the next world championship yes of course the.

most houses are built based on the square or rectangular floor but what do you do of the floor plan is triangular in sweden we actually found such a house with several awards constructed of glass the building is not only unusual but also a good job as far as serious you're mixed. a small town not far from sweden's capital stock. this is the spot. and. shows for their weekend hole the house is a real eye catcher. hello and welcome to. the couple spends the weekends at the villa delta with their daughter ella. it's a huge triangle made of wood and glass but why exactly did they choose this design . well it came natural actually from the architect to saw the ground and saw the

place. there was actually triangular. so we decided that if we should get the size of house that we wanted he had to make it so that's how we ended up with triangular house. unusual architectural ideas always present a pressing challenge how to make it work in real life. we can't house has to be comfortable so is the villa delta what they were hoping for. a lot better actually i could never imagine a room with this much light this much is closeness to nature this feeling of being inside or being one with nature while being inside i could never have imagined a room like this this spacious room forms the heart of the one hundred twenty square meter house only one side is a proper wall the other two sides are glass and interior design challenge. you don't have to have it hanging the pictures here because you have nature nature is

the nature of the picture and second. you want to put your photos you see in nature so it came natural to put the furniture facing nature facing the walls which is something you wouldn't do in a house with just locked wards the only thing missing was space for shelves. closets so the delta's architect turned a wall into a built in storage unit. actually we have more storage space than we have things which was an awkward thing to find out when we moved in we don't even have enough stuff to fill it we have some empty spaces actually but. it's triangular inside and out. like a large kitchen island. and why the name delta there's more than one reason. place of course the greek sign for all the greek alphabet for the triangle but it's also float from the

architect with me and my interest in aviation so it's adult off the delta airlines the now everybody's calling it the delta house because that because of the shape and because they know me and my story so it's nice it gives the house a little bit more of an attitude. interest in flight is reflected not only by naming the house after an american airline company but also in the very special shape of one of the homes two terraces. here so we needed a triangle triangle shape to make it fit with dolls and i immediately came to think of the concorde on its classic delta wing and we had such a such. iconic shape. so the architect if they could make the exact same angle so we did it so it's good to be able to give back to your childhood
