KaDeWe Group Magazines
I am very proud to finally present this project. I had the opportunity to redesign the editorial layout and lead the art direction for KaDeWe Oberpollinger and Alsterhaus Magazine, under the direction of ExExEx. 160 pages, multiple paper stocks, and even more editorial depth. Thank you for your trust and the inspiring collaboration with the ExExEx team and KaDeWe. This season, we’re tuning into music — exploring rhythm, sound, and the stories that connect them. Our cover star and guest editor Levin Liam leads the way, photographed by Agustín Farias styled by Rachael Rodgers and interviewed by Kelly Niesen. Elsewhere in the issue: musicians share their favorite dishes — from Bella to Marius Müller-Westernhagen and Casey Spooner — while Nella Beljan explores new interior trends through the lens of music and eight illustrators reimagine toys as record covers. Plus: Max Siedentopf’s kitschy, surrealist Christmas story and exclusive outtakes from the latest Langston Uibel produced and -starring campaign for everyone’s hedonist happy place. Pick up your copy now at KaDeWe — or at your favorite restaurant, hotel, or spa across town.
