Shopping Design & Fashion in Zagreb, Croatia

Posted on August 5, 2013 | Leave a comment

During my single day in Zagreb,

I chose these shops in the city center which offer either creations of Croatian designers or iconic products that have conquered the world, as the tie, Gentlemen! I started to work in menswear (lol)! In short, no need to come shopping in Zagreb, to spin at the same global brands you can find at home!!

1. Modus

An accessory shop for home design. Mix of international brands and Croatian designers. I liked the tote bags (first picture): very cool souvenirs to bring as gifts. The picture 2 shows the Zagreb Design Week poster … Tkalčićeva 48, zagreb. Tel : +385 14 81 3470.

2. Maks Studio

Must do. In a light intimate courtyard, Macks Studio, the store and showroom of the Croatian designer Saša Maksimiljanović offers loose clothing with asymmetrical lines and as accessories some tribal-inspired jewelery. Teslina 9 (u dvoristu), 10000 Zagreb. Tel : +385 48 10 606.

3. Boudoir

Intrigued by this dress on display (photo 1), I discovered the Boudoir, the store of the binoculars fashion designers, Morana Saračević et Martina Čičko Karapetric. Dresses of princesses for more evening than day and a selection of hats. Radićeva 25. Telefon: +385 1 48-13-464.

4. Folk Trend

I don’t have a particular shop or market. I’ve just liked a lot the traditional embroidered blouses. I didn’t had time to find a shop with homemade blouses and gowns made in Croatia. If you know some, send me an email or leave a comment.

5. Croata

In an old gallery in central Zagreb (picture 1), I discovered the origin of the tie at the Salon Croata. When the Croatian Light Cavalry went to Paris during the Thirty Years’ War (1618-1648), soldiers “used to tie lively-coloured scarves around their necks in a certain way”. And during the reign of Louis XIV, Parisians really enjoyed this new fashion accessory “in the Croatian way”. Subsequently, as you know, the cravat has become global ; ) Ilica 5 (Oktogon). Tel : +385 (1) 4812-726.

Shopping design & mode à Zagreb, Croatie

Posted on August 5, 2013 | Leave a comment

Durant mon unique jour à Zagreb,

j’ai choisi ces boutiques dans le centre ville qui proposent soit des créations de designers croates, soit des produits emblématiques qui ont conquis la planète, comme cette chère cravate, Messiers! J’ai commencé dans la mode homme! Bref, inutile de venir faire du shopping à Zagreb, pour filer chez les mêmes enseignes qu’à la maison!

1. Modus

Une boutique d’accessoires design pour la maison. Mélange de marques internationales et de designers croates. J’ai aimé ces cabas en toile (première photo) : très chouettes comme cadeaux souvenirs à ramener. Photo 2: affiche de la design week de Zagreb… Tkalčićeva 48, zagreb. Tel : +385 14 81 3470.

2. Maks Studio

A faire absolument. Dans lumineuse une cours assez intimiste, la boutique showroom Macks Studio, de la créatrice croate Saša Maksimiljanović, propose des vêtements amples aux lignes asymétriques, avec des bijoux d’inspiration tribal. Teslina 9 (u dvoristu), 10000 Zagreb. Tel : +385 48 10 606

3. Boudoir

Intriguée par cette robe en vitrine (photo 1), j’ai découvert Boudoir, la boutique des soeurs jumelles et créatrices, Morana Saračević et Martina Čičko Karapetric. Des robes de princesses (plus soirée que jour) et une sélection de chapeaux. Radićeva 25. Telefon: +385 1 48-13-464.

4. Folklore

Pas de boutique en particulier, juste un gros coup flash pour les blouses et chemises brodées traditionnelles. Pas eu le temps de trouver une boutique avec des blouses artisanales, réalisées en Croatie. Si vous en connaissez, envoyez-moi un email, ou laissez un comment.

5. Croata

Dans une galerie ancienne du centre de Zagreb (photo 1), je découvre l’origine de la cravate dans le Salon Croata. Lorsque la cavalerie légère croate se rendit à Paris durant la guerre de 30 ans (1618-1648), les soldats nouaient leur foulard rouge d’une certaine manière. Et durant le règne de Louis XIV, les parisiens s’entichent de cet accessoire “à la manière croate”. La suite, vous la connaissez, est devenue planétaire! Vive la cravate! Ilica 5 (Oktogon). Tel : +385 (1) 4812-726.

Zagreb, Croatia: Museum of Broken Relationships

Posted on August 4, 2013 | Leave a comment

One day in Zagreb

and I don’t have time for several museums, if I want to take the pulse of the city! I want to visit one truly unique museum, the confidential brand new Museum of Broken Relashionships. Let’s talk about heartbrokens, lol! So if you also have a very limited time in the city, it’s THE museum that everyone should experience!

A gem of humor (sometimes ironic) about a disappointed romantic relationships. Who can pretend having never been disillusioned with an ex? You can even see the wedding album of an happy ex, donated to the museum (wow!). The concept is fantastic and “Get lucky” (ie. Daft Punk). First, you send an object that “represents” your broken relationship. The object must be accompanied by an explanatory legend. Then the objects and stories that passed the selection, are exposed. The exhibition spaces are stunning in a renovated historic building.

Some objects detonate and surprise

(pictures 5 and 6). Reading some stories, lots of fun. Most protagonists whose purpose is breaking presentation, has a lot of humor (pictures 4 and 7)! Between another contemporary art museum showing very pretentious works (often disappointing, if not confusing) and this fresh intimate museum full of self-mockery: do not hesitate!

And I am not sponsored by the museum, it’s just a real nice surprise as I enjoy them! I had a tremendous moment there. And to extend the stealth and pleasurable moment of the “revenge“, check the small museum boutique. Picture 1: an irresistible chocolate to offer to the one who deserve it, LOL! Lucky you!
