it's. just you know everyone stops. after the decision. to. digital africa starts december twelfth on w. . welcome to today's euro max your daily dose of european lifestyle and culture is a quick look at what's coming up. nordic notion young finnish designers are korean the fashion world is. lively lighting the installations by dots and light this studio drift imitate nature. and alluring

a rome as well and based mixologist maria go but show creates cocktails with natural ingredients. we start off with scandinavian fashion it's popular all around europe not just because of swedish clothing giant h. and m. lots of smaller labels especially danish ones have also found success abroad finland however hasn't earned the title of fashion quite yet but that may change soon as a growing number of startup labels are hitting the market for instance halo a small label from finland's northernmost region of lapland that designs are getting attention at home and abroad. northern lights snow and ice and the deep arctic nights of lochlann the wilderness of finland high north can be worn as fashion items this is the collection of the young halo label founded in twenty seventeen something of lapland the home region of halo can be found in the

collections every five. but for us it means two from variations of white during the during their year it's like their night last night when the sun doesn't set out or their winter when the sun doesn't show up saw halo. reflects things for us. the laplanders or sammy identify seasons of the year each one has provided inspiration but these designers don't think in terms of seasons they have no winter or summer collections or even trends each piece stands alone each made to last a lifetime that's an approach typical of finland. helsinki is the place to get familiar with finland own fashion scene the campell a real was just recently opened in finland capital helsinki the country's fashion

scene is still very much in its beginnings and gaining confidence the second floor is reserved for thinnish designers exclusively what they all have in common is high ideals and sustainable production methods. this kind of ideas in the behind of it that if you buy the product you can very for a really long time for the design wise it's usually quite timeless and also for the mother rios is very long lasting but also now what is some of the brands you can bring. the item that you bought maybe a couple of years ago you can bring it back to the shop and they will make over for that product they can help you to clean it they can help you to fix it and you can even couple of years more the pieces are intended to. to be passed down through several generations along the practice among finns finland has become world famous for its product design altos architecture and furniture i counted among the classics other examples of the savoy days from the nineteenth thirty's and the ice

patent glasses and bases from the one nine hundred sixty s. by a top e o b a colossal so far only mario mikko has achieved world fame for finnish fashion design now it's been lands best established fashion house aside from women's wear and their famous patterns martin nicole also uses tableware and home furnishings the young designers continue their traditions but they add their own twist. the basis of our success definitely is in fashion design education which is very highly ranked internationally so we have a pool of really excellent students who are creative socially conscious and have the capability of of tackling the issues that are current at the moment in our field in fashion. fashion design only blossomed in finland a few years ago now graduates of helsinki's university of art and design a so well trained and qualified that most of them went on to work for famous labels

all over the world but labels born and bred in finland have yet to make their breakthrough internationally that is set to change finnish fashion is on the up and up. it is definitely the time for fact finnish fashion design we have many labels which you can also witness in this new gallery. and they all have their very specific and unique styles the designer geo behind halo also used to work for international labels but now they're going their own way finland's nature isn't their only source of inspiration another is the work of finnish painter right near me. they turn up in the low. of the collection not timely in garments but even on scott's in their original size. for every item sold a small donation goes to the sea astronomy museum in quito in the far north of the country it's the designers way of supporting their homeland than they can afford to

the label is doing well. at the moment it's really bubbling right under and lots of new. hungry enthusiastic labels that want to go on and make it big and international and i believe that finland is the next to a good mark or sweden definitely. learned a new labels like halo are ensuring that the world hasn't signed on to finish fashion. well after visiting helsinki were jetting off to three more european capital cities and express to get the latest news from around the continent we're heading to rome and paris but our first stop is london. on thursday the royal botanical gardens in london skew district switched on this spectacular christmas lights over

a million lights or glow in the famous gardens the past nearly two kilometers long leads from glittering installations across a field of dancing colored lights to illuminated a regard me but it's christmas accu will last until january fifth twenty nine hundred. ninety there's a virtual reality app to transport users into the room of three hundred twenty b.c. e. the computer simulation rome was presented in italy is capital on wednesday it includes birdseye in views of around seven thousand engine structures among the highlights of the forum romana and the imperial palace other major sites will follow in years to come users will even have a chance to watch virtual gladiator deals in the coliseum and chariot races at the circus maximus. on friday a big exhibition opens in paris is compilation exploring the legend of michael

jackson and his past influence on contemporary art and pop culture included are portraits by andy warhol and david la chapelle and a video of an amateur choir singing their version of jackson's popular album thriller. previously the exhibition titled michael jackson on the wall was at london's national portrait gallery but new exhibits have been added for paris michael jackson died in two thousand and nine at the age of fifty. next up a living legend of pop cliff richard he sold more than two hundred fifty million albums worldwide about the ripe old age of seventy eight he is still singing for his fans as the first time in fourteen years the lead. an album with brand new tracks the title rise up refers to a testing time the singer as experienced of the last few years including lawsuits

and criminal accusations now he's returned opening hoping to be born again. the single reborn heralds cliff richard's return to the music business at the age of seventy eight with his new album rise up the british singer is making a fresh start and thanking those who stood behind him after allegations of sexual assault which surfaced in twenty forty. often a bad period of two years in my life where i couldn't sleep and think about anything it seems to me that i've been asked to rise up so feel it's a good title for the album and the song is a good as well i mean i'm so thrilled with it i'm hoping that it will be a revival for me not only for me personally as a person but maybe for some but it could be recognized by somebody as younger people. due to insufficient evidence cliff richard was never arrested or charged

with any offense but he found that the live coverage of a police raid on his house had tarnished his reputation. so cliff richard took the b.b.c. to court for invading his privacy at one. last july a high court judge awarded him around two hundred thirty five thousand euros in damages in the landmark case. going to take a little while to get a good over the full emotional but. now sir cliff richard is ready to move on he hopes the new album will make him a household name once again. the rise up could be my revival who knows in the recording world even though i've made records all the way through i didn't get a chance before in fact it was fourteen years ago that i really made a record of the original souls so it's a quite a gap and i thought that was behind me i thought i'd never get the chance to do it

again and there it is rise up here. clue. frigid had his first number one hit in one thousand nine hundred fifty nine with living at the time the eighteen year old was seen as being the british answer to elvis presley he stormed the charts with songs like congratulations actually bush. ninety nine hundred seventy nine he landed one of his biggest hits we don't talk anymore. in the ninety nine his cliff richard was also a regular feature in the charts with songs like some people. come. to continue to recall three more albums are now following decades funk

they receive less attention to plays each than entrenched eleven southland for at least so leisure's which featured us with some of the biggest names in soul music. and two years later he put his own spin on rock n roll songs from one thousand nine hundred fifty s. over the years cliff richard has sold more than two hundred fifty million records making him one of the u.k.'s most successful singers. cliff richard also sidelines as a wine grower as he owns a video out in portugal he draws comparisons between his two professions the grapes are totally dependent on the weather. so this thing is totally dependent on these poor little bits of skin side your throat. and with

a raw example cliff richard proves that his vocal chords are still in great shape. time for a great shake and now as we get an alternative cocktail lesson from maria go bunch over the creative mixologist works at a bowling lounge bar called green door and excels at using unconventional ingredients in her creations even some that she finds on the streets of the german capital we followed her around berlin's district ocean to back to get a behind the scenes look at her secret recipes. it may seem as if this woman is a gardener or a florist but my real gorbachov is neither she does appreciate the qualities of plants though. your saying were very good

you can already tell they have different era mattocks this one for instance is a bit fresher and peppery and this one smells a little sweeter and flowery. actually you can find something edible to use to every corner with its might have been canned. maria creates exotic drinks out of these edible somethings she's a mixologist might want and you know i think you need many qualities to be good at this and of course your senses have to be very fine you have to have an understanding of physics and chemistry and a feel for harmonies a certain style and how you do things quite a lot of factors come together here on. the roses from the street corner are an intake will component of this tempting concoction. to taste good. london paris barcelona marina travels the world in search of particular in three d. and. in such

a sensual experience in this world of the romans you have to work like a perfume maker and that's the most fun part about this job. maria is always trying out something new now she wants to create a drink for the winter this time she's got some help. remains perhaps. is a sensory trainer since also tried say it's too spicy they're not harmonizing. this is just one for then that's what i associate with the north sea coast yes all those are gone pushers yes the honey goes better with it but if you consider using that. and for that reason. i think we already agree all we sample and smell a few others. that we can go through the whole list and narrow down what's wintery to our son to work it out that way and so i went on the stand for that's true says it's extremely important for me to work with the romans because i mainly determine the taste of spirits by smelling them i find out what's already in them what i can

bring out and if i can't do that i won't be able to make a harmonious drink and. drink and. the mixologist needs one last touch to achieve harmony in her new buckthorn drink with rum an orange the cure some candied fruit. so does it have the makings of a new classic. i think it's better if you can only get this drink here you don't have to be able to get it all over the world sometimes it's not sort of you can only get it here in my bar. one bar is the green door in berlin. it's a place seem to like it they don't leave the man finished. now all it needs since the right name and cheers. now is when artists do that also likes to use natural ingredients in their work as part of this week's series brice

ideas we're visiting the two dutch designers of studio drift. they like to create technically intricate installations that mimic natural phenomena they say it's their way to stop make people stop and think about the surroundings in the digital era this year the stately museum in amsterdam featured their works in an exhibition called coded nature. studio drift combines nature of design and technology and their art works the results sharpen viewers perception and suggest the feelings of weightlessness and freedom. from. the two artists from amsterdam can even make it heavy cement block float. studio drift islamic could hold a dine and rouse now to from the concept to the execution the duo always work as

a team. came back from most calmly and he had this idea and he came back and he called on the plains of an incredible idea we have to make a closer look completely and if you mention it just floats and it leads. in the film drifters that goes floating blocks. with you back home to the scottish highlands are in a very contrast somewhat with with the environment and they're searching for a system that they do fit in because they do not fit in in the natural system so it's actually the other way around that in our lives we are human beings so so we are the nature natural parts in the block environment so our life is exactly the opposite. this sculpture is intitled fragile future it's unusual lamps brought studio drift international acclaim in two thousand and seven. major from real dandelions it's

a delicate snapshot of nature the dandelions were dried in the studio then each single. blossom glued in place using tweezers before and only d. like it was added to. nature plays a central role in the works of the two artists. what we try to say sets you have to connects to the world around you and feel a see what it actually is and how beautiful it is and if we could see that i think it would be different. in december twenty seventeen they unveiled their work franchise freedom a formation of three hundred drones that emulated a flock of birds unleashed into the night sky over a beach in miami. he wanted to be the first to bring out. a swarm of drones that would actually react on

each other and have this poetic movement real birds forming actually house it's raising the question michael board actual freedom is or are we living in a lose you know freedom where why do we want to live do you want to be shepherd liebert free or do we want to adjust yourself to a social structure and not be sure for. the lights on history react to the heartbeats and brainwaves of the visitors. i don't much feels like there's like little stars in the sky to make me happy and it's getting old very movie like i want to go dancing somewhere because it's also inspiring and it's also life lee you know this is beautiful and it's so forensic in this i think what more of the pieces have to they have a very poetic quality. i was dreaming that this was my bed and that it would lie on top and then like flow to the. to sculpture has sensors

that allow it to react to visitors movements like a natural independent organ. isn't. the most important thing is that you bring to work to life so you animates the objects in which which we do in many of our works at. certain movements and movements at work in a way. to peace comes our life and can actually reach you you don't have to think about it you can just feel and. studios drift addresses the relationships between human evolution nature and technology with poetic installations that build dreams and visions for the future. and you can find all of the parts of this week's series bright ideas on our website d that we took home slash lifestyle now if your home or apartment is in need of some creative designs we have just the solution in our d.i.y. series we show you clever ways to make your own furnishings today our resident
