Dressed in Giorgio Armani&#8217;s New Normal forthcoming FW16 collection, the quintet\u00a0discussed their work and the impact the capricious\u00a0city has played on their creativity.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=size--small><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-32232\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Verena.jpg\" alt=\"Verena Gillmeier in Armani\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1128\" \/> Verena Gillmeier of Gillmeier Rech<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Verena Gillmeier, Gallerist<\/h2>\n<p>Verena Gillmeier opened her gallery space,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/gillmeierrech.com\" target=\"_blank\">Gillmeier Rech<\/a>, in November 2013 with friend and business partner, Claudia Rech. Already an esteemed venue, their gallery\u2019s openings pull a crowd of fashionable collectors and seasoned art aficionados. Prompted to explain how being based in the Berlin has influenced her work, Gillmeier reveals that, while she moved to the city on a whim, she quickly fell in with the right crowd: \u201cI was immediately able to find people that were extremely talented and had this \u2018let\u2019s do this\u2019 kind of attitude.\u201d<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Hanna Putz, Photographer<\/h2>\n<p>Born and raised in Vienna, photographer Hanna Putz\u00a0comes from a creative family. Before becoming a model she was a typical tomboy who listened to hip-hop and went skateboarding; later, she even had an unexpected stint as a children\u2019s television host. Putz\u2019s talent for producing figurative portraits and her keen eye for color and detail have made her an important name in contemporary art photography. Though she spends most of her time in Hackney, London, she frequently visits Berlin to refuel her creative energies.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=size--small><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-32234\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Claudia-Ulrike-Hanna.jpg\" alt=\"Claudia, Ulrike and Hanna in Armani\" width=\"1482\" height=\"680\" \/> Claudia of Gillmeier Rech, Ulrike and Hanna<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Claudia Rech, Gallerist<\/h2>\n<p>The other half of Gillmeier Rech, Claudia came to running a gallery via a detour in fashion. Having studied Art History at Berlin\u2019s Humboldt University, she started writing and styling for an Italian magazine before setting up her space. Despite being lauded for her gallery\u2019s programme, she plays down her influence, citing the city\u2019s evolving scene as the most important factor in her success. \u201cImpact is something you can only really measure over time,\u201d she says. \u201cRight now it just comes down to facilitating good art.\u201d<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Ulrike Theusner, Painter<\/h2>\n<p>Ulrike Theusner\u2019s works transcend time while reflecting snippets of the present. \u201cIt\u00b4s important to have a certain energy around me,\u201d she says discussing how the German capital has guided her painting. For many years she thought she could only find this energy in New York. But after moving back to Berlin she realised it was here as well \u2013 and in plentiful supply. \u201cDuring the last few years, Berlin has become more and more of an Inspiration to me. It\u2019s wild and free, a hedonistic purgatory.\u201d<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=size--small><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-32233\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Britta.jpg\" alt=\"Britta Thie in Armani\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1125\" \/> Britta<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Britta Thie, Artist<\/h2>\n<p>A visual artist, model <em>and<\/em> actor, Britta Thie incorporates her life into her work. For instance in \u201cTranslantics\u201d, her semi-autobiographical project, Thie examines her adopted hometown of Berlin while tracing a journey to New York for a modelling gig. Featuring soap opera aesthetics and storytelling, the short film explores the feeling of belonging everywhere and nowhere. And recently,her latest project, a theatre production at the Munich Kammerspiele, surveys how online culture shapes our perception ourselves and each other. We hope that all this introversion isn\u2019t a hint that Thie is planning on abandoning the city anytime soon.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nPlay\u00a0the video below for a behind the scenes look from the photo shoot:<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n[vimeo]https:\/\/vimeo.com\/169227283[\/vimeo]<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nAll looks by Giorgio Armani.
