this cathedral city to unspoiled countryside. sixty minutes d w. it's time for berlin sixty nine film festival. we give you the lowdown on all the stars. and gossip. girl enough twenty nineteen every day monday to. i think very. little.

and we're off to is faced with a new edition of your m x welcome my name is kelly omen for months and here are today's topics. why french designer christian dior had a passion for the british and the libraries in europe are becoming less stuffy war exciting. first to denmark in winter and there the sun only comes out every once in a while that's why did danish capital brings light into the darkness with a cup in the hague and light dozens of installations apparently eliminating this city my absolute favorite is an artwork consisting of old cans and bicycle parts hard to imagine take a look. lighting up the darkest weeks of the year

in winter copenhagen turns into an open air gallery for light. installations by artists from denmark and many other parts of the world to turn the danish capital into a tourist attraction in the cold season two. is there more shows more enjoyment to be. a fantasy in the car behind you and i really like it this time of year it's good to get out out see the lights and see the city and you know anything like this just just what. the danish mind artist mistake as hopes to be the winter blues with eternal sundown the installation shines from sundown to sunrise in the port of copenhagen it's made up of more than one hundred forty million strobe lights. it's the so warm. light for live for this city for the citizens of course making during this winter the last part of the winter february because we have been through the

dark period now it's here to remind us that the sun is coming back from. the green laser being as the symbol of the festival of lights this year is only the second time that it is taking place the installations are spread across the whole of copenhagen the focus is on unobtrusive works rather than gritty or opulent spectacle typically danish you might say. throughout many years has been a policy of having else lied as necessary to separate nosebag as possible not to pollute in there in the air and or to stir the animal an hour or all of us sleep rhythms so it's about making light in respect of the dark yes. copenhagen's amusement park t.v. is also part of the festival these origami swans were. inspired by the fairy tales of danish rising hunts christian andersen. lasers create the impression of northern

lights in the sky. usually the park is closed between new year and easter but since last year it's open in winter too especially for the light festival. the audience really react to this we have some. survey we can see that more and more people come during the evening and we can see this is the biggest growth of audience that we have is that people say that they had a very good spirit and. talk about the lighting. the. works of others can be admired in copenhagen until the end of february. some of them like the installation all families will even become a permanent fixture in the city. the passion house of dior is regarded as g.s.

and so parisian schick and french design a christian dior became famous well wide for his optional and celts pitching no she had a great passion for all things british that's why the victoria and albert museum in london is all ring to your the lavish exhibition. christiane to your designer of dreams is the name of the latest fashion exhibition in london's victoria and albert museum and in fact the show allows you to get unusually close to the french labels dream clothes. the highlight a dress that do your design for the occasion of princess margaret's twenty first birthday and most important climes was princess margaret and here as the younger sibling of the monarch you know queen as far as she was able to wear what she would like to wear and so she chairs and when she was eighteen she went to paris and visited some of the you. and the one that she would have from as christa knew. but

it wasn't just british royalty who had a thing for your the french designer was himself fascinated by britain and british . believe her on the normandy coast and when fronts and he talked about you know that idea of being so close to britain and his mother cultivating an english country garden and in their home so his is idea of britain is very romantic as i said it was sort of he loved the idea of are a stalker see the world and also spoke about the idea of british women in their tweens and their borgen. in one nine hundred fifty christiane do your stage his first fashion show in london. his revolutionary new look went down well with the ladies but it caused a bit of a headache for the government. rationing was still in place a fabric was in short supply and the government really didn't want people looking

for these new longer length skirts which used a lot more fabric they thought it was a waste and it was unpatriotic and that was the line so they called in the fashion journalists the head of the board of trade and told them not to report on this favorably but of course you know there was such a hunger for glamour after the. british designer stephen jones has been designing hats for the your since one thousand nine hundred six in the current exhibition visitors can marvel at more than one hundred thirty different creations by the top milliner he says british influence onto your is unmistakable. and. when you look to your new you see evening dresses and there's a quintessentially french. but when you see the day off and the tailoring references british savile row sartorial suitings and if i misread your book many fabrics. have. some printed. from britain.

during the forty's and fifty's maria grads here she uses some of the same original fabrics them as you do your used as well so it goes to the same tweed supplies the same will supply. curie took over as do yours artistic director in twenty sixteen. share christiane dior's love of britain. i like land in the. least my daughter. like to spend time here and then any case when i was younger i was fascinated about is. there at and they way that you see the people around you like that. i think there is this fantastic balance between. them break their walls that is a lot. in january the italian born designer showed her latest collection in

paris with british acrobats hats by steven jones and a number of british model. now it is within my regrets his creation i think this idea of independence and a bit like rock n roll which she loves to combine with the dream of the lady like dresses to make something new. the new do your exhibition is the biggest ever shown in britain and it's already attracting the. fashion fans will leave some patients queuing up but it's certainly worth it. here and the international film festival. until the seventeenth of february the celebrities were racing direct coppered signing autographs and presenting their new movies after all that hard work even stars have to wind down and have

a new one of the places they frequent as a restaurant called bosch it is used to get a real insider tip but even in hollywood it's become very bell well known they call it the place. here everything revolves around schnitzels film stars like tom cruise katie sanchez jack nicholson jessica alba and robert de niro are all big fans of the berlin restaurant is million hollywood as the ship still plays. songs don't just come here during the international film festival. or restaurant owner roland mari knows exactly what stars once he's a very discreet host understatements is the name of the game here. but often it's mark none of us here like monocultures we like mixing things up or is that if

celebrities come that's fine of course we wouldn't exclude them but we don't give them special treatment either through the door or the person is just the person everyone pays the same amount and everyone gets the same size schnitzel no matter what is. in full shots hundreds of schnitzels up for petty each day. seven days a week from midday until late at night. one hundred members of staff make sure the customers wishes are fulfilled. ok rainbow hans schnitzels are prepared to traditional viennese style. and they make sure they get full the details right like achieving an ideal breadcrumb côté. does it is that it's important that we get the best mean we always use organic eggs and we have our own baker who produces the breadcrumbs for our schnitzels. just that and of course

how we make the schnitzel is special to we fry them in a mixture of lard and clarified butter and then of course it's important that the schnitzel really swims in the fat of the beatles and the right temperature is important two hundred eighty degrees. all. the restaurants history stretches back to be eight hundred fifty three. informing east german times you could go dancing that. after the fall of the building born in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine it's the first store to entertain. nowadays as an international flag. and it's known for the many celebrities who visit the restaurant. but when it first reopened in one thousand nine hundred eighty two success took a wine in coming. and we'd already been open for a year but it was quiet here when

a car drove along here you'd hear it long before you'd see it it was exactly like the village i grew up and no sons and no people crazy. during the banana pull hot it's booked up for the whole ten day if you haven't reserved a table then you have to wait whether you're a film star a film go out. on this for what we serve food until five am in the kitchen is really busy until then people's. hearts guest list is the most exclusive in the. rolands mattingly attracts all the big names they just can't get enough on fish nets still place. that looks delicious if you would like to try to recipe on your own just go to our facebook page we'll show you. how to make the schnitzel off the celebrities and if it turns out well maybe george clooney will drop by for dinner i'm definitely going to try my hand at it next what comes to
