in winter copenhagen turns into an open air gallery for light art. 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 to. the is there more shows more drama to in theory. a fantasy in the cup there heidi and i really like it this time of year it's good to get out see the lights and see the city and everything like this just the one for. the danish lined artist mess there goes 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 neon strip lights. it's. warm. light for the for the city for the citizens of course making during this winter that the last part of the winter of february because we have been

through the dark period now it's here to remind us that the sun is coming back soon . the green laser being 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 gaudí or opulent spectacle typically danish you might say. throughout many years has been a policy of having else lied as necessary sorry no stardust possible not to pollute in there in the air and disturb the 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 writer hunts christian andersen. lasers create the impression of northern

lights of the sky. usually the park is closed between new year and easter but since last year it's open in winter 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 the evening that people say that they had a very good. and they talk about the lighting. and. the works of others can be admired in copenhagen until the end of february. some of them like the installation all families even become a permanent fixture in the city. fashion house of dior is regarded as the essence of parisian chic and french design

a christian dior became famous wont wide for his optional and gallants the ticking know she had a great passion for all things british that's why the victoria and albert museum in london is honoring do 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 times was princess margaret and year as the youngest sibling of the monarchy queen elizabeth 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 was christa knew. but it wasn't

just british royalty who had a thing for do your french designer was himself fascinated by britain and british. but he grew up on the normandy coast in northern 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 aristocracy and he loves the royalty and also he spoke about the idea of british women in their tweens and their borgen. in one thousand nine hundred fifty christiane dior staged his first passion 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. people just wanted to wear it anyway. british designer stephen jones has been designing hats for 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 on to your is unmistakable back then and now. when you look at your you see evening dresses in ballgowns and there's a quintessentially french. but when you see the day often the tailoring references british sartorial suitings and in fact masoud your book many fabrics.

paris with british acrobats hats by steven jones and a number of british model. now it is within maria gretz his creation i think this idea of independence and a bit. can roll which she loves to combine with the dream lady like dresses to make something new. the new dior exhibition is the biggest ever shown in britain and it's already attracting the crowds fashion fans will leave some patients queuing up but it's certainly worth the. sheer embolden the international film festival. has until the seventeenth of february to leverage his racing direct car but autographs and presenting their new movie 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 the hollywood it's become very bell well known they call it their place. here everything revolves around schnitzels film sounds like tom cruise cate blanchett jack nicholson jessica alba and robert deniro are all big fans of the berlin restaurant bull connor is known in hollywood as the schnitzel place. stars don't just come here during the international film festival. the restaurant owner roland mari knows exactly what stars once he's a very discreet test understatement he's been making 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 but of course we wouldn't exclude them but we don't give them special treatment either through the person who's 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 fed each day. seven days a week from midday until late at night. one hundred members of staff make sure the customers wishes are fulfilled. a rainbow han's schnitzels up a pad in traditional viennese style. and they make sure they get all the details right like achieving an ideal bread crumb coating. it as it were to fly it's important that we get the best me we always use organic eggs because we have our own baker who produces the breadcrumbs for our schnitzels. this 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. everything and the right temperature is important two hundred eighty degrees. all. the restaurants history stretches back to be eight hundred fifty three. informant east german times you could go dancing that. after the fall of the berlin wall in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine it's a good story to entertain. now adays 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 while 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 been in the hot tub for the whole ten day if you have a reserved table then you have to wait. a film got up. there on this but we serve food until five am in the kitchen it's really busy until the new. book hans guest list is the most exclusive in the. road man's mafia tracks all the big names they just can't get enough from fishnets old place. that looks though lucius if you would like to try to recipe on your own just go to our facebook page we will show you how to make the schnitzel off the celebrities and it turns out well maybe george clooney will drop by i'm definitely going to try my hand at it next what comes to my when you think of
