Budding
Inspiration
Why plants flourish to the sound of music and
musicians at the sight of beautiful shoes.
They say that style is the art of walking on earth in paradise
and for this spring / summer catalogue we were inspired
by a paradisiacal abundance of art forms, in the form of the
Schönbrunn Palm House. From the elegance and lightness of
its quintessentially classical architecture, to the harmony of
three gifted musicians who came together there for a lively
get-together and the high art of gardening, demonstrated by
one of the most magnificent botanical collections in Europe
housed inside the exquisite building. Because we believe that
true beauty is only created through the interaction of inspira-
tions. This is why, for example, plants thrive when listening to
classical music … and musicians at the sight of beautiful shoes.

The Explorer
With his “Well-Tempered Piano”, Johann Sebastian Bach
explored the perfected counterpoint. Star clarinettist
Andreas Ottensamer continues this tradition in a time-
less and admirable way – with a well-tempered manner
even in a tropical ambience.

You can think of life as a jungle, or also as a fascinating journey that
leads to the discovery of one’s own style. Therefore Andreas Ottensamer,
together with the best philharmonic orchestras in the world, explores
the art of the well-tempered tones. In the choice of his shoes, well-
temperedness also plays an important role. For example, the Meraner –
a summer classic with airy perforated leather and a similar cool

elegance, just like the architecture of the Palm House.

The Treasure Seeker
Style is the art of exploring life in its budding
diversity. In this vein, soprano Ethel Merhaut redis-
covers forgotten and sometimes exotic musical
treasures with a great thirst for adventure; from
classical music and Chanson to Tango, Jazz or
Viennese Songs. But one
constant aspect of her
repertoire is the subtle
seduction of timelessness.
Lost treasures do not only slumber
under palm trees in far exotic lands,
they occasionally do so in the
middle of Vienna too. This is why
soprano Ethel Merhaut, together
with Andreas Ottensamer and Béla
Korény, recorded a wonderful
album entitled “Out of Sight”, which
brings long-forgotten classics back

In the middle of Vienna or far from home? For a

question of style. And with the right sandal,
she could even travel as far as imaginary Maghreb.

The Gardener of Music
The Schönbrunn Palm House is home
to around 4,500 different species
of plants. Music legend Béla Korény
can easily compete with that scale
of variety, in both the diversity of his
career and talents,
as well as the

them blossom in all their glory.
The multi-talented Béla Korény
could therefore be called a gifted
gardener of sounds, as a pianist
and composer, director, enter-
tainer, orchestra leader, actor and
former owner of the Broadway
Piano Bar. He cultivates his
extensive shoe collection with
a similar passion, by the way. And
why would a classic by Ludwig
Reiter not be on par with a classic
by Tchaikovsky?
