At the Montblanc event, celebrities like Ruby O. Fee and Trystan Pütter ponder their personal definition of luxury.
What do we really need to be happy? What is real luxury? These questions were in the room when numerous celebrities came together for a festive dinner on the occasion of Art Week in “The Feuerle Collection” in Berlin-Kreuzberg. In one of the most beautiful private museums for ancient Asian art, which has found a hostel in a renovated former bunker, luxury manufacturer Montblanc presented its new “UltraBlack Collection”, which, in addition to classic writing implements, includes leather goods, watches and technology products.
Sam Riley: Luxury is “making music and dancing around the house”
For actress Ruby O. Fee (25, “Lindenberg! Do your thing”), who came without a boyfriend Matthias Schweighöfer, luxury is simply “having time”. Enjoy them with mindfulness exercises such as meditation and breathing techniques. Fee: “To get back on the ground. And then to enjoy the things in life again. To think positively, to know who you are, what you have, is” the best thing next to all the work and professional trips ” she would indulge herself.
Actress Alexandra Maria Lara (42, “The Collini Case”) came along with her husband and actor Sam Riley (41, “Marie Curie – Elements of Life”). The two looked very relaxed and were happy to be able to go out together again after a long time. The actress revealed: “I’ve just spent three months filming in France.” For her, luxury is “to spend my time together with my husband and as a family”.

Bauer and Mühe founded a lockdown flat share
Actress Jana Fritzi Bauer (32, “Axolotl Overkill”) and Anna Maria Mühe (36, “Gott – Von Ferdinand von Schirach”) also know something about making life entertaining, who not only posed together for the photographers, but are often close to each other in their private lives too. “During the lockdown, I moved in with Anna,” revealed Bauer, who appeared in a black suit for the occasion of the event. “We didn’t want to be alone”. In the apartment on Prenzlauer Berg, the two women, together with the daughter of Mühe, were able to enjoy “going down” after all the stress they had before. They played a lot of games, knocked stones “in which dinosaurs or rhinestones are hidden” and laughed a lot. For women, luxury also includes beautiful clothing. Bauer: “I just got myself a cashmere coat.” Mühe admitted: “You can get me with anything that glitters” and proudly presented her silver-sparkling handbag. The actress also wore a bright green trouser suit: “My statement regarding the federal election …”
“For me, luxury is the freedom to express myself, to dress as I want,” said actress Lea van Acken (22, “The Diary of Anne Frank”). The 22-year-old, who will soon be seen in the Netflix horror film “The Privilege”, came belly free and showed her well-trained body. “I discovered climbing during the lockdown, and I train in a quarry outside of Berlin.” What she likes most about climbing is that it demands the whole body and keeps the mind awake.
Trystan Pütter: Sweaters and sneakers at home, dress up for parties
For actor Trystan Pütter (40, “Bad Banks”), who arrived at the same time as his “Ku’damm 63” actor Sonja Gerhardt and for whom dinner was the first major event in a long time, luxury is “parking where and when I do wants to risk a ticket, not bothering about it, “said the TV star. Friend Heike Makatsch, with whom Pütter also has a daughter, stayed at home that evening. Pütter: “I made gnocchi and I’m off!” He was really looking forward to the evening and was very excited to finally be able to celebrate again and “dress up”. Clothing is usually a minor matter for the performer. At home, he likes to walk around in a sweater and sneakers, Pütter reveals.
On the other hand, the German top model Luca Gadjus (38), who appeared with her husband and photographer Max von Gumppenberg in the color of the evening black, likes to dress well in private. She has a lot of fun creating new outfits with an existing wardrobe: “And then I think: ‘Wow! It looks great! Why haven’t you had it on before?'” Laughs the mom of a son and a daughter. At the moment she especially loves floor-length skirts. The fact that black is currently back in fashion is due to the elegance and versatility of the tone, according to Gadjus. “It also goes with the feeling of being emaciated, of insecurity, which affects us all a little.” For them it is a luxury to have had time with their children during the lockdown. Gadjus: “Fortunately, I was able to afford not to work for a while and to be there for my children, especially my teenage son. We were very grateful for that.”
