Together with her three employees, Susanne Benter showcases the newest fashion trends

I sensed it from the beginning: From the moment I stepped in, I left the rational area and proceeded to non-controllable territory. Don’t worry: I’m neither on a dangerous expedition at undetected Himalaya Mountains nor am I on the TV-Show ‘RTL-Dschungelcamp’. I’m only exploring the Munich Boutique of Susanne Benter, my friend Andrea has been gushing about. Three years ago Susanne Benter from Northern Germany opened her chic fashion temple at the heart of the Bavarian Isar-Metropolis. Fashion enthusiasts should be equipped with good control mechanisms if they don’t want to get into a shopping fever.

“My only hobby is the daily cycling to the shop”, says Susanne Benter, who advises customers herself every day.

At a 150 square meter sales area the studied ladies’ tailor and textile economist Benter showcases a brand mix her customers love: Missoni, See by Chloe, Ivi – but then there are also rather unknown newcomers, that the former buyer of Ludwig Beck offers a forum at her boutique. “Young designers rarely have a stage”, outlines Susanne Benter her buying concept. “Here they coexist next to already established brands.”

Cashmere is always a goog idea

For 13 years Susanne Benter has been living and working in Munich now. From early on the ‘girl from the countryside’ dreamed of self-employment. “Fashion has always been my passion”, explains Benter, who likes to get inspired by her trips to the fashion capital Paris. “And when I found this shop by accident, it was a real godsend.” Residing between the Hotel ‘Bayrischer Hof’ and the shopping mall ‘Fünf Höfe’ Susanne Benter is in adequate neighborhood. ‘The beauty is, that I am always in direct exchange with my customers and therefore know exactly what they want.

“I absolutely wanted brass as material for the shop design”, says trend scout Susanne Benter, “even though four years ago it wasn’t common at all.”

Beautiful is her shop as well, interior designer Claudia Breil from Hamburg refurbished it with light colors, graphic wallpapers from Cole & Son, wood paneling, and trendy brass. “I didn’t want it clean, cool, white”, says Benter, “but a cozy atmosphere – just like home.” And maybe that is the exposure: The shop with it’s comfortable sitting areas and XXL changing rooms in boudoir style quickly lets you forget where you are.

“We are very much counting on fur, like this mink from Furry”, says Susanne Benter. “Especially younger women don’t buy at the classic furrier anymore.”

The trends of the recent season: “Capes, Ponchos and ‘Flared Jeans’ are a MUST.”

Here everything is for sell, from the latest fashion collections of international Designers up to vintage furniture, Berber carpets and the good old long playing record

What a cool location, I thought as I recently strolled by “The Store”, Berlin’s newest concept store on the lower level of the private club Soho House in Mitte district. At the time, still in the phase of a pre-opening for members, “The Store” now attracts all male and female shopping victims and has an area of 2,800 square meters of high end fashion, beauty products, furniture, vinyl, home accessories and delicious dishes. This all-areas-of-life covering mix of products and services makes “The Store” – the look is more like a café than a shop – so unique.

Flowers forgotten? No problem, The Store offers amazing flower creations

The Store supports the local farmers, suppliers and producers. All products are sustainable and biodynamic…of course!

With a cold freshly made carrot vegetable juice I sit on a blue vintage velvet sofa and look at an art installation by Berlin artist Claudia Wieser, while I enjoy an avocado toast (of course this is all “organic”), watching busy freelancers in the rentable working spaces and listening to the sound of the playing record. In between, the new spring-summer collections by international designers such as Jil Sander, Simone Rocha, Tabitha Simmons, Alexander Wang or Balenciaga. For the little ones, the children’s corner offers cute knit sweaters, jackets, dresses and glittering ballerinas of the fashion brands Eagle and Elfie.

Chic in shell even for the little ones: Fashion for kids with the labels Elfie and Eagle

This is one of My Stylerys favorite places in Berlin!

Looking for a new hairstyling, make-up, manicure? The British beauty company Barber & Parlour offers a round-carefree service

Shop director Alex Eagle is responsible for this multifaceted mix, whose previous roles include working in public relations for Joseph and styling for Harper’s Bazaar: “We wanted to create a place where people could spend all day. A light, fresh and fun space where guests can shop, work, eat, drink and hang out. Like an open, shop-able private home for everyone to spend time and where everything is for sale from the candle burning, record playing to the sofa you sit on. The Stores aesthetic is paired back, simple luxury. Everything is made to last with a less is more approach consisting of cohesive building blocks for your wardrobe, home and life.”   BvH
