“Everytime I wet my hair it’s a whole big mission to get it to dry.” Troye Sivan
California dreamin’
Hanz de Fuko is not really all that new, as the San Francisco-based grooming brand was founded ten years ago. However, it took that long for the range to expand beyond the first pomade and for the brand to make it to Switzerland. Fifties quiffs and gel hairstyles hold bombproof with the products from Hanz de Fuko and succeed even for those who don’t spend hours in front of the mirror for their hair.
Hanz de Fuko, available from approx. 25 at Globus and Jelmoli Hanz de Fuko, “Dry Shampoo”, colorless dry shampoo. 240 g, approx. 35.- globus.ch
At the back
Hair like Rapunzel – and then? If you lack the patience and skill for artistic braiding and updos, simply tie your hair in a ponytail. Something like this is classy and always fits. And no, it’s far from boring. At least not if we take a leaf out of Maison Margiela’s book and use foil to tie or braid string around our hair like Phuong My does. Both ideas are eye-catching and turn a classic into an avant-gardist. Rahua, “Smoothing Hair Balm”. 17 g, approx. 34.-, Claire’s, “Stripe Scarf”, Scrunchie, approx. 8.-
Sabbatical
Just switch off, let go, find peace. This is not only good for our soul, but also for our skin. And if the latter is also pampered as beautifully as Cornelia Fäh, then we can definitely no longer complain about a lack of well-being. It is not without reason that Fäh calls itself a skin therapist,
her facial treatments are truly like rehab for the skin. If, despite all your good intentions, you still don’t have time to visit Cornelia Fäh in Zurich,
tu we do our best in the bath at home thanks to the oils, creams and tonics they develop and produce themselves. Always at hand: Fäh’s face roller,
available in various versions and guarantees the best option for getting the active ingredients into the skin. Skintherapist, “Face Roller”, approx. 95 to 110

Second place
Even if it’s shimmering and shining gold everywhere at the moment: we prefer to go for the runner-up, for silver in matt or gloss, which we dust on our eyelids or, for a change, on our lips. Particularly trendy: eyelid lines in silver that extend far beyond the eye. The best way to do this is to mix your favorite eyeshadow with a little gloss and apply with a brush and a practiced hand. Artdeco, “Galaxy Eye Powder”, eyeshadow with applicator, approx. 19.- 2 Nars, Multi-use Lip Gloss in “First Time”, approx. 35.-
Blind Date
Perfumes are like fashion: it’s the twist that makes the whole thing exciting. That’s why Frédéric Malle’s latest fragrance “Rose & Cuir” works so well: two people who don’t really fit together but then do, shaking hands, intertwined fingers, warmth, togetherness. Ingredients such as black currant and peach bring freshness and sensuality, leather the depth that keeps the fragrance on the skin and gives us pause. This turns a perfume into a statement. Frédéric Malle, “Rose & Cuir”, 100 ml, approx. 292.-
Tone on tone
The colors of the winter collections are muted, with lots of blue, bordeaux, ochre and purple. This includes the bags from Berlin label Maison Héroïne, which now go even better with our fingertips thanks to the joint nail polish collection with Uslu Airlines. The six colors are named after international airports, and you can buy the paints from approx. 21. over www.maisonheroine.com.
Along the nose
Molecules in the nose – salsa, rumba, tango dance. Why do we like one fragrance better than the other? It’s like love, pure chemistry. What has happened in the meantime between the first perfumes of the ancient Egyptians and the star fragrances of our time, mass-produced and churned out by means of marketing, is illuminated by “The Essence” . In it, perfumers explain their world and how just a few fragrances can put billions in the pockets of large corporations. Gestalten, “The Essence. Discovering the World of Scent, Perfume & Fragrance”, approx. 54.-
