Style tip Spring 2021: When it's inhospitable, take it sporty!

It's 'inhospitable' in Austria. In both meanings of the term: The word 'hospitable' is derived from the relation between guests and host and it denotes a pleasant environment. In Vienna, hospitality services like gastronomy or hotels are still closed (open from 19 May) and the weather is unpleasantly cold, rainy and windy. It's not the right weather for a 6th May and people have no chance to visit a comfortable coffee house or bar for a relaxed indoor meeting with friends. Currently, it's possible to get drinks or coffee from gastro locations in Vienna. But as the consumption has to happen outside in a distance to the location, coffee to go or beer or drink to go became a new fashion.

Fashion.at collected some new pieces for cold spring days under the motto 'Take it sporty!'

Sport tights 'Mea' and matching down jacket 'Akira' with allover print inspired by Hawaiian islands from the 'Fire + Ice' Spring/Summer 2021 collection by Bogner. The new collection was launched at www.bogner.com with a campaign showing professional surfers from the surf mekka 'Cold Hawaii' in a National Park in Denmark.

The sunglasses are from the upcoming limited edition 'NFT' (non-fungible token) by Austrian brand Gloryfy. It's announced that the pieces, each together with a digital artwork, will be available from 11th May via auction at rarible.com/gloryfy. All proceeds from the auction go to www.weisser-ring.at for the benefit of the work for victims of hate online, especially cyberbullying.
