Fashion.at style tip Summer 2022 for vacation at lakes in the alpine regions of Austria

In the early 20th century when painter Gustav Klimt and fashion designer Emilie Flöge moved from hot Vienna during the summer months to the Attersee in the Salzkammergut, 'summer holidays' were named 'Sommerfrische' (Summer Freshness). For a good reason! The climate at the Attersee is comfortably warm in June, July, August and can be fresh in the later evening. Recently on 4 June, the Klimt-Foundation opened on occasion of 10 years Klimt Museum on lake Attersee the anniversary exhibition 'Ein Sommer wie damals' (A summer like back then) showing snapshots of Gustav Klimt (born 160 years ago in 1862) and Emilie Flöge including fashion creations of the designer.

The style tip on view on this page for vacation in alpine lake regions is inspired by the Attersee.

The earrings are from the 'Nixe Aqua' series of the 'Hommage à Gustav Klimt'-collection by jeweler Freywille. The mini-creoles' hand-painted enamel artwork is inspired by Klimt' s painting 'Water Serpents I' showing two water nymphs. For the 'Nixe Aqua' designs, the Freywille artists added light blue, turquoise-green and blue-violet to the typical Klimt spirals symbolizing water and life.

The tea 'Relax' is one of two new drinks launched this summer by the Austrian beverage brand 'all i need'. The 'Relax' vitamin tea is created from a matcha-oolong mix enriched with natural ingredients like bifidus, blueberry, hibiscus or ashwagandha, a root used in Ayurvedic medicine.

The ice cream cup 'Double Salted Caramel Swirl' by the Oppo Brothers is one of the best-selling flavors from the range of the British brand which focuses on natural ingredients and low calorie ice desserts. (Available in Austria at the supermarket chain Spar.)

The South-Tyrolean brand Luis Trenker known for collections inspired by mountaineering and alpine lifestyle provided a preview of Fall/Winter 2022/23 with classical pieces like the cape in fresh blue - practical for colder evenings - and a bum bag.
