The new issue of THE Stylemate invites you to explore the invisible threads that subtly connect people, cultures and ideas. On 40 large-format pages (A3), you’ll find a carefully curated mix of philosophy, art, design, travel, and lived mindfulness.
From Salzburg to Tokyo, Edwina Hörl unites fashion, art, and culinary culture into a concept that understands clothing as a social and cultural intervention. Her collection “listen to the soup” reflects this philosophy – while also pointing to her life beyond fashion: running her late husband’s ramen bar in Tokyo.
Taiga Takahashi (1995–2022), a Central Saint Martins graduate and founder of T.T (formerly Taiga Takahashi), was far more than a fashion designer. He merged fashion, art, and Japanese culture into a quiet yet radical vision that extended well beyond clothing – and continues to live on today.
A simple house, the vast ocean, family and surfing – Hiroki Ryo left Tokyo behind to live Yohaku: the Japanese concept of finding beauty in empty spaces and abundance in nothingness.
Like a pebble in the hand, the sleek, light-colored box with a single button feels both simple and refined. It opens up to reveal two ergonomically shaped pieces, securely held in place by magnets. But this innovation isn’t meant for your ears, as one might assume; it’s designed for the area underneath your eyes. What at first glance resembles Apple’s wireless earbuds are, in fact, high-tech eye pads from Temprastones: a piece of design artistry, honored with the European Design Awards and poised to become a favorite beauty gadget for eye care.

The old house on the church square has stood for centuries. Its oldest parts date back to 1661—a date engraved into the intricately carved beams of the parlour. Today, this historic building is home to Refugium Lunz, a guesthouse revived by the creative minds behind FORMDEPOT—partners known for breathing new life into old architecture. The house looks back with respect and forward with care.
Saluting the sun comes naturally at Puradies – the high plateau is one of the sunniest places in Leogang. Yoga is just one of the many heavenly activities you’ll find here. It not only stretches and strengthens the body, but also lifts the soul to new heights, which comes as no surprise, being this close to paradise.
Some places have a memory. The 1477 Reichhalter in Lana is one of them. First mentioned over 500 years ago, it has lived many lives: as an inn, a sawmill, a mill, and a butcher’s shop. Then, for a decade, silence. Its doors remained closed while life passed by until someone took a closer look, and brought it back to life.

Those who find themselves surrounded by greenery often feel it instinctively: this is where I belong. As the harmonious center of the color spectrum, green unites the calming power of blue with the energy of yellow. It symbolizes nature, soothes the mind, and at the same time inspires inner growth. If longevity had a color, it would likely be green.
