Life & Style

Stefan Dabruck is one of the most successful music producers and artist managers in the world. That’s exactly why we went for a drive with him – away from the city and into the peace and quiet of the great outdoors.

The glamour and coolness of the nineties. The first luxury brand of the twenty-first century. And we have Tom Ford to thank for it all. But that’s how you define new standards of style. An approach.

If anyone has brought more colour to the fashion world, it was Paul Smith. In an exclusive interview with ramp Editor-in-Chief Michael Köckritz, the legendary designer reveals how his world-famous and eponymous brand came about, how he works - and what good style is for him. And where can you get to know a person better than in his home? Exactly. That's where we met him.

Looking at his studio, his interest in architecture should be clear, says Bryan Adams. As for his love of photography – that becomes obvious just from talking to him. Need proof? Check out these five questions and answers from the interview our editor-in-chief Michael Köckritz did with Adams.

173 years ago today, Bertha Benz was born. No less than a mobility pioneer, for her ride in the Benz motorcar marked the beginning of the future. But what does that future look like for the car today? In search of answers, we took a trip ourselves - to St.Gallen, to the Future Mobility Lab, in a Mercedes, of course. There we spoke with Prof. Dr. Andreas Herrmann and Jürgen Stackmann.

Nobody really needs a mechanical watch. Says Yannick Michot, of all people, head of Patek Philippe Germany since 1998. But that’s exactly why he can say something like that.

Anyone who has made a habit of serving up cocktails to Princess Margaret or Mick Jagger on the island of Mustique might just have a few interesting stories to tell. Introducing: Basil Charles. On the occasion of World Bartender Day, he reveals some bartender tales and wisdoms.

What's the best way to start a Monday and a new working week? Of course, in an unagitated way - and with a relaxed bike ride. Preferably along the Swedish coast and with the CEO of a wonderfully unobtrusive and relaxed brand: Thomas Ingenlath from Polestar, for example. On the way, of course, it's all about bikes, the electric performance brand itself - but also craftsmanship and design.

Conducting an interview with Christian Bale is a contradictory experience - and a way to understand the 47-year-old well as of today. Because Bale does not like such obligatory exercises - for reasons he explains in this interview. In addition, we also learn why he is always fully absorbed in his roles.

This weekend, Formula 1 visits the USA again after a forced break - and we remember our last trip through 'Murica in a good mood. Admittedly: Two years ago we were on the East Coast and at the NASCAR season finale - not in Austin. But that doesn't matter, since a Ferrari 812 Superfast and a Camaro LT1 also play a starring role.

"Don't look back" is a slogan of skateboarders. But that shouldn't stop us from taking a look back. And certainly not on today's "Go Skateboarding Day". An "Ollie" through seven decades of board culture.

When ANA DE ARMAS recounts how she still loves to run around barefoot and that sharp stones certainly won’t stop her from reaching her goals, that’s an accurate metaphor for her ambitions. This might give you the impression that the Cuban-born actress is a rather pig-headed person. But nothing could be further from the truth. She just works hard. As the most recent Bond girl, she quite charmingly upstaged Daniel Craig in No Time to Die. Her next role? Marilyn Monroe.

An old studio in New York’s SoHo neighborhood. It’s been a good two years since photographer CHRIS COLLS and his girlfriend, model ALEXANDRA AGOSTON, found their special loft. Taking a look around and talking to one of today’s hottest creative couples, you immediately sense the value that style, aesthetics and design have for the two of them.

Good News: For the new rampstyle #26, we spoke with Kelly Jones, frontman of the Stereophonics. It quickly became clear that he is still the local boy from Wales - living in the here and now. Which also has to do with the fact that bad news sometimes leads to good things. Of course, the photographer at the shooting in London was also more than just good: once again, it was Bryan Adams.

Terry Crews is ... well, what exactly is he? Let’s stick here to: former American football player, former star of those iconic Old Spice commercials, sketch artist, successful actor and social media phenomenon. The 52-year-old even is a designer of high-end furniture.
