WE LOVE FMD. There is something unforgettably special about Autumn/Winter
fashion that feels totally fresh. Maybe its the fact that you get a
clean start by switching out your summer wardrobe, or perhaps
SO WILL YOU. its the welcome return of a playful aesthetic. Either way, the re-
sult is that nothing compares to the unadulterated joy of dressing
up that comes with Autumn/Winter.
This issue is all about the prettiness of the season and theres a host of looks and ideas in our pages that provide inspira-
tion for everyone. Even more, we show you the pieces youll be wanting this season and, perhaps even more important,
how to wear them. With so many infinitely wearable looks to choose from, creating moodboards for our cover shoot
was challenging. So, when it came to choose a model to bring the wonderful rhythm of past and present, Nadine Ponce
was the obvious choice. As youthful as she is classic, she is uniquely beautiful and embodies this fun, free-spirited mood
in Here with me (p.27).
As you browse through the editorials, you will notice two opposing and equally strong trends: Cozy Cashmere in
Surface to Air featuring former Victorias Secret model Katsia Zingarevich (p.60) and Pretty Florals, in The Botanic
Verses (p.92). Turning heads is Australian beauty Rosie Tupper in Winter Brightside (p.48), who sports the seasons
best from envy-inducing, to gottahave-it-Im-obsessed looks. The accompanying portraits, by Australian photographer
Christian Blanchard, are - in my opinion - some of the finest we have ever published. We also introduce German new
face Cosima Fritz, who wears this seasons romance with a carefree attitude in The New Now (p.74). Her talent and
beauty will take her places.
With 98+ pages of sumptuous Fashion, our Autumn/Winter issue is so much more than just beautiful pictures. In our
Introducing section we look at entrepreneurs who have seized opportunities and taken over leadership in Fashions
growing business landscape. First theres the extraordinary talent of Peyman Amin in Love Meets Fashion, (p.24).
Known to a broader audience as a judge in Germanys Next Top Model and a former agent at IMG Models Paris,
Peyman is now the owner of a successful German fashion agency PARS Management. Continuing the flight of fancy
in Carrousel of Class (p.20), is Swiss accessories brand De Marquets Raffaella Iten Metzger, who talks about the chal-
lenges of success and the companys future.
But our daydreaming doesnt stop there, we also reveal the first Fashion City Ranking with the help of IFDAQ. From
Paris to Milan, we give you the top 20 cities that have a profound influence on the world of fashion (p.6). And, while
were transitioning between seasons, weve extended our travel section too. Wanderlust can feel a little different de-
pending on which corner of the globe youre in. Which is why we are thrilled to give you a closer and unbiased look at
the Hotel Schweizerhof Bern and the SPA (p.44) and Hotel Cortiina in Munich (p.88).
Fashionistas will be interested to know that the issue is a four-model cover series. First theres former Victorias Secret
Model Katsia Domankova who enchants us with her bright flashy smile while Nadine Ponce, layers up in Autumn
looks that starts the season off right. Both of their covers come in 24k Gold foil. German newcomer Cosima Fritz
makes her brilliant debut in a gorgeous Talbot Runhof jumpsuit lensed by Christina Kapl. Finally, Australian model
Rosie Tupper was lensed by Christian Blanchard, against a simple white background that makes her radiant looks stand
out. Moreover, their covers will be available in black foil and silver foil respectively. Were extremely excited ourselves
as theres a cover for everyone or all four if youre as fanatical about fashion as us!
One of the greatest things about fashion is the power to transform, and I cant think of a better way to get ready for
autumn than with our magazine, which is also our seventh issue. All of us at loveFMD feel so privileged to be a part of
a legacy that enhances a womans personal style, and we are committed to setting the standard for what comes next. I
hope this issue will make you enjoy autumn as much as we have putting it together.
Enjoy your ad free read!
With much love,

cosmetic and beauty campaigns, but also plenty of commercial print work and
television commercials.

N1 NEW YORK DASHBOARD Why New York ranks at N1

It comes as no surprise to us that New York ranks as our number one. From remarkable
fashion companies to new icons from the worlds leading fashion agencies, New Yorks
prime new developments have grabbed headlines around the world in recent years.
Manhattans Garment District is surrounded by major fashion labels such as Carolina
Herrera, Oscar de la Renta, Calvin Klein and Donna Karan who have their showrooms,
production facilities, or support offices located there. Moreover, the NYC modeling market
is by far one of the biggest and most diverse ones. The city is headquarters to many leading
fashion magazines and powerful fashion agencies. The top 16 modeling agencies control
around 56% of its entire modeling market. Finally, one of the biggest agencies, IMG Model
Management oversees the successful careers of the most international recognizable faces
such as Carolyn Murphy, Amber Valletta, Joan Smalls, Karlie Kloss and Chanel Iman.

from the end of 2016 till September 2017, which probably is due to his co-operation

PORTRAITS| DE MARQUET
by Kelly Blank
As a relatively young accessories brand, De Marquet was launched recently in September of last year - however, the brand name
itself, De Marquet, has roots in a much older lineage. The Swiss designer and owner Raffaella Iten Metzger, beautifully connects
her luxurious brand to her family tree, while also relating to the reality of a modern day traveling European woman.
20 | loveFMD.com
The roof of the carousel is represented above, with the initials

of the brand name subtlety hinting at the noble family crest
from which it originates.
When thinking about the needs and desires of many modern

women, particularly in this global and wanderlust age, the
need for a reliable handbag is indeed high, however the
actual availability of a multi-functional bag - one that can be a
companion in various forms - is a need De Marquet recognises.
The need to bring together quality and sustainability with
sleekness and beauty is a concept that the De Marquet brand
beautifully and completely grasps.
While the brands name is clearly a huge influence in De

Marquets inherent values as a leader in accessory design,
Raffaella, as a young entrepreneur, was always exposed to the
fashion industry one way or another before launching her
brand. With a marketing and advertising background, it is
simple to see how her great grandmothers authentic approach
has been passed down through the generations, truly inspiring

the creative (and much-needed) fusion of multi-functionality
with aesthetics.
I have always been traveling

a lot and was missing bags
that had the sort of multi-
functionality I was looking for,
Raffaella explains. The most important element of De Marquet,
and what makes the brand quite unique, is the multi-purpose
element of the designs combined with high quality aesthetics.
Designing bags that are practical but which can also be used
for more than one function are key to De Marquet - and this is
how the first bag was born.
The DoubleDuty bag, in a variety of colours such as caramel

with python leather or chocolate with Dollaro leather, comes
with supplementary leather handles as well as bamboo. The
DoubleDuty bag can also be turned into a detachable clutch
or can be used a small cross-body bag simply by using the
additional chain strap. Its what I absolutely needed for short
trips, when you cant possibly take three different bags with
you Raffaella says as she explains the moment the concept
came to be, and thus the perfect allrounder for every occasion.
Meanwhile, the famous Night&Day collection, while much

smaller in size than DoubleDuty, is similar in versatility. With
no other bag in the world like it, the Night&Day collection
contains flaps, which can be easily interchangeable, allowing
for the smooth transition from the same spacious elegant bag

consistency, as well as the beautiful family ritual of passing Handmade in Italy, the important Italian tradition of

variety of elegant and chic accessories De Marquet has to offer. with simple pencil drawings.
21 | loveFMD.com
With approximate measuring as well as hand-chosen Italian

materials, the process of bringing to life a handbag from pencil
to fabric is a creative collaborative journey with the artisan, so
that the practical and aesthetic aspect is brought in line with the
technical feasibility of a particular bag design.
The long process for designing the perfect handbag is indeed

worth the investment to Raffaella and her brand: The most
rewarding was, and still is, seeing elegant and fashionable girls
and women sport my creations and getting so much positive
feedback.
Once the new model is agreed upon, the artisan elaborates

a prototype which is checked over by the designer and
undergoes a series of tests to assess its durability and multi-
functionality: I check the prototype, carry it around a few
days to see if adjustments are required and choose or change
leather and colours, explains Raffaella, after that, were ready
for an exclusive production of maximum 30-40 pieces with
different platings and colours. Importantly, the entire process
of designing a bag has in mind not only versatility and quality
for the client, but also has at its heart respect for the artisans
and their work - in other words, less fast fashion and more
sustainability instead.
Another gorgeous collection, and one that captures both

sustainability and individuality, are the CosmoPolitan bags.
As a boho collection reflecting the hippie-chic personality
of the designer, CosmoPolitan bags are an intriguing and
colourful assemblage of patchwork shoulder bags with large
guitar straps that can also function as stylish belt bags. Ranging
from black leopard print, blue suede, and golden metallic
centres, these bags are perfect for the independent, classy and
fashion-conscious woman who adores originality with a hint
of eccentricity. CosmoPolitan, with its chic detailed straps and
range of patchwork patterns and colours, are a vintage dream.
The SS18 collection will indeed continue the bohemian style.

Currently, De Marquet is working on the prototypes of soft
and multifunctional hobo bags, which can be smoothly turned
into bucket bags in an instant. Suede, as a beloved fabric of the
brand, is sure to be incorporated into the seasons collection.
De Marquet is also working on silk suitcase pieces, such
as versatile tunics, which can adapt from day to night. This
innovative ability to magically turn one accessory into two for
different purposes and settings, is an exclusive tradition which
we look forward to seeing this season.
The De Marquet shop which is located at Marktgasse 55, calls

the heart of Bern home, a place for clients who are independent,
stylish and fashion-conscious, who dont wait to be given a
handbag - they buy it for themselves. However, one doesnt
need to travel to Switzerland to own a premium bag. A sleek
and simple online shop provides the perfect alternative for
women on the go to choose their own bags, either from the
comfort of their own home or at the airport, with a click of the
mouse. However, while the online shop and cozy Bern location
are thriving, Raffaella strives to see her business five years from
now more on the international fashion scene. Look out for De
Marquet being proudly displayed in flagship store windows
throughout European fashion capitals in the near future.

PORTRAITS | PEYMAN AMIN
Peyman Amin
love meets passion
by Kelly Blank
interview by Dr. Reimund Homann
Peyman Amin is known to a broader audience as a judge in Germanys Next Top Model. Alongside his co-jurors, he has shown
to an audience of millions how a girl next door can be transformed into a fashion model - and while doing that, impressed in the
minds of his viewers his expertise and unvarnished critique of the models-to-be.
Perhaps what is lesser-known to the general public is the fact that long before the hype of fashion modeling was initiated in
Germany, he had already been working in the fashion industry. Back in the nineties, Amin managed fashion models such as Heidi
Klum and Tyra Banks for various agencies, including such as IMG Models. Since 2011, he has been running his own agency, PARS
Management.
24 | loveFMD.com
PORTRAITS | PEYMAN AMIN
Looking back on what else has influenced the fashion industry and
his career as a model agent, Amin is quick to acknowledge that
social media has also played a key role. Instagram, for instance, has
become integral for models in their career, particularly for gathering
a wide following of fans and clients, and showcasing a more personal
and revealing side of models lives. Model agencies closely watch
developments in social media, as advertisers utilise various social
media outlets for attracting new customers. Popular models on social
media are now often requested to showcase particular brands on their
accounts (in both subtle and blunt ways), for instance, and this trend
has opened a whole new era within the industry.
As a modeling agent and founder of PARS Management, Amin

keeps close on the many facets of the fashion industry, including the
outlets in which new models advertise themselves. Keeping up with
the times, Amin and his agency are constantly looking for models
digitally on Instagram, using #parsme. However, regardless of the
amount of followers a model may have on Instagram, Amin discloses
that there is a secret to being a successful model: Besides the exterior
requirements like a great face, a great appearance and height, the
approach to the job is health, nutrition, discipline and ambition, and
only you can accomplish that if you have the desire for the job. You
need hunger for success.
As with the drive for success which models need, Amin also needed
the same drive to establish his own lucrative modeling agency, PARS
Management, which was created after spending twelve years in Paris,
and with that, many new important contacts. Unique to his agency
is not only the high-calibre talent of the models, but also the PARS
Management philosophy which attracts his clients to begin with.
Since its founding, Amin has firmly believed that as a foundation,

the agency needs a good team who comes into work in the morning
enjoying their work and wanting to be there. Following a good team
comes the aspiration for always being part of the champions league:
New York, Milan, Paris, and London. PARS supports its models every
step of the way to the top of the international ladder, firmly believing
that investing in the long-term career of models and aiming high is
the key to success for both, the model and the agency. Aided with

In addition to serving breakfast, Grapes Weinbar offers a fantastic

array of wines from all over the world. The concept of a wine
bar was developed by Rudi Kull and Albert Weinzierlof along
with their young Austrian sommeliers Stefan Graber and Markus
Hirschler. From selected classics to the wines of young winemak-
ers, the Weinbar has over 400 varieties with a focus on German,
Austrian, Italian and French wines. It serves as a platform for
modern quality wines where once a month a winegrower is in-
vited and an vertical tasting event is held. From vinophile profes-
sionals to wine beginners and occasional drinkers, Grapes Wein-
bar invites guests to partake in Munichs wellheeled social scene
in a vibrant location for long nights and hours of pure indulgence.
For those who prefer the Italian way then a visit to the Bar Cen-
trale on the opposite side of the street is a must. The Bar Cen-
trale not only offers the best Espresso in Munich but also a very
special original Italian flair. A casual lounge area allows guests to
enjoy homemade pasta and other Italian delicacies. The lovingly
designed furniture adds perfectly to the details of the original in-
terior to create the pure and cozy Italian bar style.
The Cortiina also includes a highly regarded Bar & Restaurant

offering decadent starters and mains that is very popular among
local travelers and epicures. Steak tartare with roasted malt bread,
and chanterelle risotto with belpe knolle, are some of its top offer-
ings that will leave your taste buds wanting more. The Bar is mod-
ern, though mirroring the rest of the hotel. Comfortable lounge
chairs in front of an open fireplace, ceiling-high windows and
exclusive design furniture like leather benches and wooden tables
provide cosmopolitan flair and liveliness. From selected teas to
self created cocktails, and innovative finger food to extraordinary
modern Cross Over Cuisine, the Cortiina Bar & Restaurant cre-
ates a happy hangout.
Munich has always been a city celebrating good food. Offering

timeless experiences reflecting its vivacity and charm, the owners
of Cortiina have a handful of very good restaurants. One can eat
at the Brenner restaurant on Munichs posh Maximilianstrae.
Serving fish, steaks, seafood, and homemade pasta the restaurant
terrace, decorated with olive trees, is a popular meeting place.
Then theres the Riva Tal where one can savor a clever mix of
Southern European flair and the lightness of Mediterranean cui-
sine and culture. It is one of the most popular pizzerias in the city
and serves scrumptious pizzas in made wood-fired oven churns.
Those looking for a combination of traditional Japanese food and

modern international cuisine, can head to the Emiko, which also
serves a selection of vegan dishes. Lastly, theres the Buffet Kull,
which serves up unpretentious fine cuisine thats a delight to sa-
vor in its stylish dining room. Its typical charm of a French bistro
provides a flair for a cozy, timeless ambience. One can expect de-
lightful, tasty dishes with French-inspired highlights such as tuna
steak with wasabi cream, white and green asparagus with hol-
landaise sauce and rosemary potatoes, or the NY-style fillet steak
with fried potatoes and homemade herb butter.
The Cortiina Hotel exemplifies Kull and Weinzierls shared phi-

losophy, synthesizing sophisticated design, impeccable service,
and a deep relationship with the local creative scene. It is a wel-
come oasis from the hustle and bustle of the city for those looking
for a magnificent and characterful hotel in Munich. If theres a
square in the heart of the city where the Bavarian capital reveals
something of its true nature, its Hotel Cortiina.
