FINELY HONED The Linley brand was founded by David ArmstrongJones, son of the late Princess Margaret and photographer Antony Armstrong-Jones.

Professionally known as David Linley, he has been creating some of London’s finest artisanal furniture and home accessories for over 30 years. Linley, who inherited

his father’s title of Earl of Snowdon this year, opened his first shop on the New King’s Road in 1985; his brand is now one of the most recognised in London, with collections including luxury gifts and bespoke furniture, and a thriving interior design business. Like all Linley items, this Pink Diamond box is exquisitely constructed.

Crafted in iridescent mother-of-pearl and three

MODERN LOOK Diesel’s recently opened concept store, located between London’s prestigious Harrods and Harvey Nichols shopping landmarks, presents the brand’s new retail design concept.

Designed by Japanese architecture firm Wonderwall and Diesel’s own artistic director Nicola Formichetti, the flagship houses the brand’s men’s and women’s collections over two storeys. The contemporary interior was inspired by modern living, with a focus on technology; finishing touches include high-definition screens and a system that eliminates pollution from the street outside.

The striking space has a sleek, industrial feel balanced out by antique furniture and luxurious Persian rugs. Womenswear is on the ground floor and you will find the latest men’s collections in the basement. km Diesel, 73 Brompton Road, London SW3 1DB, +44 (0)20 7589 6311, diesel.com FOR M A P GO TO PAGE 67

PERFECT MATCH Nathalie Trad’s distinctive asymmetric design style and craft skill with natural materials make her a perfect collaborator for renowned London-based shoe designer Rupert Sanderson. The result of this design marriage is a remake of two classic Sanderson shoes. The Issey style comes in metallic silver or classic black suede, with a laced fastening and graphic cut-out sides. Available in both tawny and black shades, the Rayelle (pictured, £745) is a heeled front-fastening

sandal with striking cut-out details. Both styles feature a distinctive block heel in Trad’s signature materials, which include mother-ofpearl and agate. km

BLOOMING BOUQUET In January 2017, Salvatore Ferragamo launched Signorina in Fiore, the latest addition to the Signorina fragrance collection launched in 2011. The scent combines the floral and the fruity in a celebration of femininity: the Italian title refers to the way a girl in love blossoms like a flower. Top notes of nashi pear sorbet and pomegranate make way for middle notes of jasmine and cherry blossom, underpinned by base notes of white musk and sandalwood. The references to blossoming are carried through to the bottle’s

design, which resembles a blooming pink flower. The eau de toilette is available in 30ml, 50ml and 100ml bottles, at £36, £50 and £72 respectively. grc

JOINING FORCES Ally Capellino called upon Studio Nicholson to design a new bag for spring/ summer 2017. The union of these two creative forces resulted in a bag which conveys the identity of both British brands. Quality of design, practicality and elegance combine in the soft Piero bucket bag (£600), which is made from a grainy Spanish leather. Unlined, it opens up to reveal smooth suede on the flipside of the hide. Black metalwork and a webbing strap add subtle detailing to the dark navy bag, while the embossed initials of both brands provide the final touch. Made in London, this bag is a great example of the boundless creative vision of contemporary British brands. grc Ally Capellino, 11 New Cavendish Street, London W1G 9UD, +44 (0)20 7224 0648, allycapellino.co.uk globalblue.com

Inside, oak floors and walls are tastefully paired with light bronze metal plating on furniture and in the sales area, in addition to mirrored walls in a darker bronze. This exquisite combination is a reflection of the brand’s ties to craftsmanship as well as its dedication to quality and detail. The store opened at the end of 2016, bringing to a close a momentous year which saw the brand celebrate its 40th anniversary with various events. grc MCM, 16 Conduit Street, London W1S 2XL, +44 (0)20 7409 2047, mcmworldwide.com FOR M A P GO TO PAGE 64

Under Jonathan Anderson’s inspired direction, Loewe’s collection for the season is marked by a soft, feminine look with a play on volume and texture.

This season’s staples, including lace, ruffles and bias cuts, are reworked with a modern approach, while undergarments and domestic items such as tablecloths serve as inspiration for dresses, skirts and tops.

Outfits are accompanied by the statement bags for which Loewe is well known, from soft leather briefcases in a rich yellow hue to the pictured barrel bag, a

structured style in dark tan (£1,495). With its pleasingly simple but distinctive look, this bag is a sure way to add a unique twist to your outfit. grc

BRITAIN’S GOT TALENT London’s emerging designers are going from strength to strength. Harriet Quick introduces the names to know

PHOTO: XXXXXXX

W

here once ‘emerging talent’ and ‘avant-garde’ equated to interesting but not very wearable garments, the latest generation of London designers places customer and commerce firmly in the picture.

The array of visions present on the catwalks is remarkable, from Molly Goddard’s intricately detailed tulle dresses to the embellished haute streetwear of Roberta Einer. What unites these disparate aesthetics is a sense of fearlessness that’s bringing in a new wave of style. And while these clothes are happy to push boundaries, they are designed with real clients in mind.

Molly Goddard, whose clothes can be found at Dover Street Market, makes a brave stand by being very singular. Her ‘anti-fit’,

subtly colourful tulle gowns look as great over jeans as they do over a slip dress and her highly feminine, almost girlish, dresses have placed her firmly on the map. She staged her London Fashion Week presentation as a faux rave, with a diversity of models dancing on a podium at the show’s end.

Fashion thrives on exuberant statements that unite and communicate, and Goddard’s feminist statement is bold yet light-hearted.

A similarly joyous expression can be found in the work of Estonian-born Roberta Einer, who learned the craft of embellishment at Balmain in Paris. Imagine an outsize leather bomber jacket covered in a mosaic of applique graffiti motifs and embroidery, or a long, slim

skirt with beaded pockets.

‘Each garment takes many hours – but I want to create something special,’ says Einer, whose pieces can be found at prestigious retailers including Saks Fifth Avenue in New York. ‘Fashion is about bravery and I want to transmit confidence,’ she says. This season, drawing on the graphics of contemporary illustrators Yoko Honda and Jiro Bevis, the designer playfully re-imagines 1980s poolside poster art in her trademark embellishment.

Highly worked fabrics feature botanicals and tropical birds, layered together with pen-andink figures in a vivid homage

to the surfside city of Miami.

‘I was looking at Miami’s art scene in the 1970s when it was still riding the wave of pop art,’ explains Einer, who toured the city’s art galleries and botanical gardens for inspiration.

Einer is part of the Swarovski Collective, a programme that funds and supports young talent in fashion. Two other members are young London designers Faustine Steinmetz and Grace Wales Bonner. Steinmetz specialises in handcrafted denim and takes pleasure in raising the ordinary and generic into something extraordinary.

‘Denim was the first fabric

I really ever experimented with,’ says the Paris-born, London- based designer, who recently displayed a pair of recycled jeans with 60,000 cerulean Swarovksi crystals embedded into foam as part of her tableau vivant at London Fashion Week. So impressive is her denim research and development that Steinmetz is now employed by others as a specialist consultant on the fabric.

It’s not just womenswear designers making waves.

by languid tailoring. She weaves culture, character and collective memories into clothes that speak with depth and emotion, a skill that was publicly recognised when she was awarded the LVMH Prize for Young Fashion Designers in 2016. The most exciting thing about Wales Bonner is her dismissal of traditional ideas of gender in fashion. Her collections may be nominally menswear but women covet them as much as men do, and they have been bought by prestigious retailers such as Matches as part of their spring/summer 2017 women’s collections.

London is known for nurturing its local talent.

Fashion East, the not-forprofit platform established by entrepreneur Lulu Kennedy in 2000, is one of the city’s most important supporters of young designers. Jonathan Saunders, Simone Rocha and Roksanda Ilincic are all previous beneficiaries. Recent alumni include Mimi Wade, known for her handpainted leathers; Caitlin Price, who specialises in tailored silk satin clubwear; and Craig Green, who fuses Asian aesthetics and casual cool in his menswear that is notably beloved by women. All three designers are sold at Selfridges in the new Designer Studio, alongside more established but equally experimental labels such as Marques Almeida and Christopher Kane. In the new David Chipperfield-designed Accessories Hall, you will find Chaos, a line of phone and travel accessories developed by stylists and consultants Charlotte Stockdale and Katie Lyall; iPhone cases are crafted in deerskin and there are giant initial tags and keyrings to attach to luggage and handbags, proving London’s idiosyncratic design spirit is not limited by size.

As we turn away from metatrends to embrace the individual and the different, London’s crop of emerging talents is poised to feed that desire. Enter into these designers’ worlds and you will discover a micro-universe of ideas and sentiments. Some you will adore, others you might not, but what you will never encounter is mediocrity

STYLE ON DEMAND The see now, buy now trend gives purchasers immediate post-show access to collections from some top British brands. Sally McIlhone investigates

I

n a cash-rich, time-poor society, today’s consumers want the convenience of having the essentials brought to them. And for the most style-savvy luxury clients, the essentials include the latest designs from the most cutting-edge international brands. Rather than seeking out these designs in store when the new season rolls around, there has been a shift towards being able to shop for pieces as soon as the final model has stepped off the catwalk.

Why should you wait months to buy your desired garment? Thanks to this trend, known as see now, buy now, patience no longer has to be a virtue of the fashion fan.

Burberry has always been ahead of the curve when it comes to incorporating trends and technology into the way it does business

and this season was no exception. As early as February 2016, the brand announced it would be cutting back from four shows a year to two.

These shows would combine its menswear and womenswear offerings – and allow the full collections to be purchased immediately after the February and September shows, both in store and online, with delivery available to over 100 countries worldwide. The brand also streamlined its three lines – formerly Prorsum, London and Brit – into one unified Burberry label aimed at style fans the world over.

‘The changes we are making will allow us to build a closer connection between the experience that we create with our runway shows and the moment when people can physically explore the collections for

46 | F E AT U R E S

collection’s most exceptional and expensive pieces – was among the Burberry bestsellers.

Unsurprisingly, Burberry has continued its successful formula in its latest collection, February 2017.

Topshop Unique is another British brand experimenting with runway to retail, offering a refined edit of the spring/summer 2017 collection on its website and in selected stores worldwide straight after the brand’s London Fashion Week catwalk show at Old Spitalfields Market in September 2016. In keeping with the theme of the venue, the brand also gave purchasers the chance to snap up the collection at a pop-up ‘market stall’.

‘The response was fantastic. We achieved great sales from all over the world both in stores and via Topshop.com – our customers are clearly early adopters,’ says Jacqui Markham, Topshop’s global design director.

The trend also allows brands to monitor which catwalk items are most instantly appealing.

‘Everything zebra print was snapped up and themselves,’ explained Christopher Bailey, then Burberry’s chief executive officer and chief creative. ‘Our shows have been evolving to close this gap for some time. From livestreams to ordering straight from the runway to live social media campaigns, this is the latest step in a creative process that will continue to evolve.’

Not only did Burberry offer its clothing immediately after the September 2016 catwalk show, but also the accompanying make-up. And for users of WeChat there was an additional bonus, as the Bridle bag was available to purchase exclusively via the app.

Burberry was not the only brand to premiere a see now, buy now platform at the spring/summer 2017 shows. Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger and Tom Ford also presented shoppable collections for the first time, with many retailers of these brands reporting instantaneous sales spikes. Business of Fashion reported that three items from the Burberry collection sold out within three days of the show. Rather than smaller items such as makeup or eyewear, retail analytics platform Edited confirmed that the Cavalry jacket – one of the

the Farley wool tailoring performed really well. The English rose print was a big hit, as was the utilitarian shirt in pretty pink.’

Though see now, buy now has not been adopted universally, the fact that British brands like Burberry and Topshop are leading the charge shows how in tune the London fashion scene is with the global purchaser.

‘Every brand is trying to discover what is best for them and their consumers,’ explains Markham. ‘We know that immediacy is hugely important, and we want to continue giving customers the chance to buy directly from the catwalk.’ With immediacy, however, comes a shift in the typical fashion calendar. As Markham

points out, ‘E-commerce has disrupted the traditional idea of designing for seasons; the fast-paced way of delivering fashion, the accessibility of international travel, and the advancement of social media have all contributed to the changing of the fashion cycle.

So I think the move to create seasonally neutral collections and offer an instantly shoppable component to a show will become the norm for Topshop Unique.’

How the see now, buy now trend will develop, only time will tell. But British fashion favourites Burberry and Topshop embracing these changes helps the fashion industry as a whole become more dynamic. There’s never been a more exciting time to hone your style

Bremont is one of the UK’s most respected watchmakers. Founder Giles English tells Stephen Doig about the company’s uniquely British take on timepieces

Above: Russian caption xxxxx qui officiducius ma nit fuga. Faccus in coreratus nistora nat quam aborecepere, et modi q

T

he craft of watchmaking usually calls to mind the Jura valley in Switzerland, known as Watch Valley for its concentration of the Swiss watch industry; or perhaps Baselworld, the country’s annual watch fair, which showcases the finest new timepieces, many of which would not look out of place in a sci-fi film.

The pretty market town of Henley-on-Thames in the UK borough of Oxfordshire is a less obvious hub of watchmaking prowess; but this is where the headquarters

of Bremont are located. This watchmaker is a bona fide British success story that sprang to life thanks to two brothers who love adventure and the pioneering spirit.

‘Setting up the business was very much about being able to follow a passion that we’ve had all our lives,’ says Giles English, who founded the company in 2002 with his brother Nick. The pair had inherited a keen love of aviation from their father Euan, but in 1995, while flying a vintage 1942 aircraft, the plane crashed and he was

killed. Nick, who was flying with his father, was seriously injured. From those dark days, the two brothers embraced a philosophy that life was very much for the living. As Nick recovered, they began a quest to honour their father’s legacy.

As well as a love of aviation, Euan possessed an enthusiasm for mechanics which stretched, among other things, to watchmaking. It was to honour this that the brothers turned to a new venture: Bremont.

Bremont is not only a rare case of British watchmaking success in a field where

THE AMERICA’S CUP REGATTA WATCHES EMPLOY THE SAME HIGH-GRADE CARBON FIBRE USED TO BUILD THE ORACLE TEAM USA’S YACHTS

S H O P | 51

Switzerland prevails as a front runner. Its watches have also become bywords for exceptional British craft. Bremont’s partners now include Jaguar and the America’s Cup; the brand is the official timing partner of the 35th America’s Cup, hosted by Bermuda in summer 2017. ‘We’re trying to grow a global brand, so it helps to be involved with global events like this,’ explains Giles English. ‘We’re a brand without history, really, so being the first British timing partner of the America’s Cup since 1851 means we’re really making our own history as we go along.’ That growth saw the 2012 launch of a flagship store on South Audley Street in Mayfair, a space reminiscent of a traditional gentlemen’s club, full of plump leather armchairs, bookshelves and aviation paraphernalia.

Part of the brand’s appeal, acknowledges English, is that in a saturated market, Bremont watches stand out

for their relatively uncluttered designs. A very British sense of restraint runs like a current through Bremont collections, from the classicism of the handsome ALT1-C range to the elegance of the U-2.

The sporting life – a constant draw for watchmakers, who long to imbue their timepieces with a story and sense of spirit – is referenced in the nautical Supermarine watch and the ALT1-Z Zulu range of pilot watches. The latter feature oversized numbers on the dial, all the better for reading at 30,000 feet, and plump, retro-esque onion crowns. ‘The good thing about working with my brother is that we agree on design,’ says English. ‘If you’ve got someone who you know likes the things you like, it means that you can design and develop things very quickly. There’s no design by committee or having to run things past people, we work very organically.’

At Baselworld 2016, the

brand unveiled the America’s Cup Regatta range of watches, which employ the same highgrade carbon fibre used to build the Oracle Team USA’s yachts. Never let it be said that a watch enthusiast cannot live the life more adventurous.

Last year also saw the debut of the brand’s first range of watches for women. These are elegant, more feminine renderings of Bremont’s classic styles, but the brand’s adventurous DNA certainly does not take a back seat in this collection. The SOLO32 LC, for example, takes its name from Lettice Curtis, a pioneering 20th-century female pilot.

It’s clear that Bremont is forging its own path in the world of haute horology.

‘If you’re buying Bremont, you’re not doing so because you want to be seen wearing a particular brand,’ says English. ‘You’re someone who loves engineering, likes being different, loves adventure and wants something unique.’

TABLE TALK London’s best tasting menus offer all the originality and flair you would expect in a city known for fine food, says Madeleine Murray-Lyons

If you are seeking the ultimate fine dining experience, there can be no better way to explore a chef’s repertoire than by opting for the tasting menu over the traditional à la carte options.

The tasting menu’s smaller plates allow the diner to immerse themselves in the restaurant’s particular style of cuisine, with two or three starters and main courses giving the opportunity to experience most things on the menu.

Sommeliers are adept at pairing wines and other tipples with the dishes on offer and, if you are truly pushing the boat out, this option cannot be missed. Whether you are looking for grand French cuisine, experimental flavours, or simple British food made well, there is a restaurant with a tasting menu to suit. globalblue.com

AN G LO Contemporary British fare can be found at Anglo, a rising star on London’s dining scene. The restaurant’s tasting menu is affordable and delicious, offering seven courses plus ‘Intros’ (amuse bouche-style snacks) for £45, with a drinks pairing for an additional £30. Boasting seasonally changing dishes with mysterious names such as chocolate and beer or sea buckthorn and horseradish, Anglo captivates with its cooking and certainly impresses with its creativity.

Understandably popular, the restaurant gets fully booked well in advance; be sure to plan ahead so as not to miss out.

PERILLA

A relative newcomer to London’s culinary establishment, Perilla is already showing innovation with ingredients. This can be seen across the menu: in its seaweed bread brushed with roasted lamb fat; in the fried duck egg with chopped mussels and parsley; and especially in its custard-based dessert, which might be flavoured with grapefruit, plum or walnuts depending on the date of your visit. The restaurant is slightly off the beaten track but is close to the happening district of Dalston, and is rapidly becoming a favourite of hip young things in the area. With its understated decor and the affordability of its tasting menu (£38 for six courses), it’s not hard to see why.

Perilla, 1-3 Green Lanes, London N16 9BS, +44 (0)20 7359 0779, perilladining.co.uk TH E CLOVE CLU B

Another east London eatery helping to put the district on the map, The Clove Club offers a stunning ten-course menu for £110. Situated in the grand surroundings of Shoreditch Town Hall, The Clove Club started as a supper club, with the owners setting up permanent residence in globalblue.com

2013. The retro-inspired interior with blue-tiled kitchen provides the perfect backdrop to the dishes devised by Scottish chef Isaac McHale, which might include hay-smoked mallard, fermented cabbage, beetroot and blackcurrant, or apple tarte tartin with sour cream.

Choose to accompany the tasting menu with the wine pairing, or the even more luxurious prestige pairing.

A hip eatery on cool Shoreditch High Street, Lyle’s has commanded the attention of gourmets with its daily changing menu and interesting in-house events. The four-course tasting menu (£49, which can be supplemented with an additional cheese course) is offered in versions to suit meat-eaters and vegetarians alike, and might feature dishes such as pumpkin, whey and chestnut to start and apple, yeast and brioche for pudding. The wine list is top notch and the restaurant holds various events, including the monthly Guest Series, where Lyle’s invites new, daring names in the culinary world to take over its kitchen.

Much-loved Italian footwear brand Casadei has recently opened a flagship store in London’s upmarket Mayfair district. Designed by Cesare Casadei in partnership with architect Marco Costanzi, the store’s concept echoes the interiors of the Milan and Rome Casadei boutiques, with selected shoe styles standing proudly on marble platforms in fresh shades of peach. Sleek mirrored surfaces add dynamism to the space, echoing the directional footwear on offer. In the store’s second velvet-clad room you’ll find the most exclusive collections. Perch upon one of the velvet day beds in the main space as you try on the latest styles from the spring/summer 2017 collection.

Theo Randall This award-winning restaurant draws on the eponymous chef’s enthusiasm for Italian cuisine.

Opt for the five-course tasting menu or order à la carte. Highlights include cappelletti di vitello – handmade pasta stuffed with slow-cooked veal and pancetta with porcini mushrooms – and piccione al forno – Anjou pigeon on pagnotta bruschetta with Italian peas and pancetta.

Theo Randall at the InterContinental celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2016.

AVIARY Summer calls for a cocktail on a roof terrace, and recently opened rooftop bar and restaurant Aviary offers stunning views over the City of London. Its vast terrace is peppered with sofas and chairs, and an eye-catching marble bar lends added sophistication. Select a cocktail from the extensive menu, perhaps a Sour Cherry Bomb with Kamm & Sons aromatic British spirit, vodka, rhubarb bitters and cherries, or a Jennings Caribbean Steam Boat, made from rum, honey, lime and pineapple, and take in your surroundings.

Feeling peckish? The restaurant offers a delicious selection of dishes which make the most of British produce.

12 HOURS IN LONDON 9am Jason Atherton’s Berners Tavern restaurant offers a stunning breakfast selection until 10.30am.

Global Blue Retailer

12pm New Bond Street offers the crème de la crème of luxury brands. Jewellers Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels and Harry Winston compete for your attention, as do watchmakers Piaget, Montblanc and Breitling. Select suiting from Canali, shoes from Bally and a summer dress from Dolce & Gabbana.

3pm The recently expanded Tate Modern gallery offers an insight into the genius of a host of contemporary artists.

Wander through the collections and marvel at the vastness of the Turbine Hall. Stop for a coffee, or something more substantial, at one of the varied food and drink venues. Don’t miss the viewing level, which offers breathtaking views of the London skyline.

Restaurant

7pm Continue the high-rise theme into the evening at Sky Garden. The Fenchurch restaurant perched on the rooftop of this 155-metre-high building offers a selection of delectable dishes, from the rabbit bolognaise starter to the Cornish halibut main course, alongside excellent cocktails – the Mediterranean Spice is a must-try.

Когда-то сочетание «молодого дарования» и «авангарда» порождало интересные, но не пригодные к использованию вещи. Теперь же новое поколение лондонских дизайнеров уверенно помещает в центр своего внимания потребности покупателей и продажи. Разнообразие подходов и взглядов, представленных на подиумах, поразительно: от тщательно проработанных тюлевых платьев Molly Goddard до высокого уличного стиля с обильной отделкой Roberta Einer. У этих марок непохожие представления о стиле, но их роднит ощущение бесстрашия, которое поднимает новую модную волну.

80

Созданные ими вещи не только успешно раздвигают границы принятого, но и разработаны с мыслями о реальных покупателях. Молли Годдард, коллекции которой продаются в Dover Street Market, берет на себя смелость оставаться ни на кого не похожей. Ее «антиоблегающие» тюлевые платья нежных оттенков одинаково хорошо смотрятся с джинсами и поверх комбинации. И эти женственные, почти девичьи платья сделали дизайнеру имя. Презентацию на Лондонской Неделе моды она инсценировала как рейв-вечеринку, в финале которой многочисленные модели танцевали на подиуме. Когда яркие идеи соединяются и взаимодействуют, мода расцветает пышным цветом. Женственность Годдард замешана на дерзости и беззаботности. Модели Роберты Эйнер, лондонского дизайнера эстонского происхождения, пронизывает схожая атмосфера радости. Ее ключ – искусство декорирования, которое она постигала во время работы на Balmain в Париже. Представьте себе кожаную куртку-бомбер большого размера с мозаичной аппликацией на тему граффити и вышивкой или длинную узкую юбку с карманами из бисера. «Я провожу многие часы в работе над каждой вещью, но я хочу создавать нечто особенное. Мода – это проявление бесстрашия, и я хочу передать это ощущение в одежде», – говорит Эйнер, и ее коллекции берут в свой ассортимент престижные ритейлеры, в том числе Saks Fifth Avenue в Нью-Йорке. В этом сезоне, на волне увлечения графикой современных иллюстраторов Йоко Хонда и Джиро Бевис, дизайнер остроумно переносит в декор одежды арт-постеры для бассейнов 1980-х. На качественные ткани нанесены растения и тропические птицы, и среди них прорисованы фигуры в духе Майами, города серфинга. «Я специально изучала творческую жизнь Майами 1970-х, когда волна поп-арта там была на пике», – в поисках вдохновения Эйнер путешествовала по арт-галереям и ботаническим садам Майами. Роберта Эйнер – участница программы Swarovski Collective, которая поддерживает молодые таланты в сфере моды. В этом же проекте участвуют дизайнеры Фаустин Штайнметц и Грейс Уэльс Боннер. Фаустин Штайнметц, родом из Парижа, работает с globalblue.com

денимом: особую радость она находит в том, чтобы своими руками превращать нечто привычное и общеизвестное в экстраординарное. «Деним был первой тканью, с которой я понастоящему экспериментировала», – в частности, недавно она поместила на пару джинсов 60000 небесно-голубых кристаллов Swarovski и представила их в виде ожившей картины на Лондонской Неделе моды. Исследование и развитие возможностей денима настолько впечатлило профессионалов моды, что к Штайнметц теперь обращаются как к экспертуконсультанту по этой ткани. Шумиху в моде создают и молодые дизайнеры мужской одежды. Грейс Уэльс Боннер окончила колледж Central St Martins в 2014 году и разрабатывает мужскую одежду с мягким и свободным кроем. Она вплетает различные культуры, персонажей и коллективную память в свои модели, чтобы передать глубину и эмоции. Ее талант был признан профессиональным сообществом: на конкурсе Young Fashion Designers в 2016 она получила премию LVMH Prize. Самое удивительное в работах Уэльс Боннер – это выход за границы традиционных представлений о гендерных различиях. Ее коллекции, конечно, номинально мужские, но и женщины интересуются ими не меньше. А престижный ритейлер Matches приобрел коллекцию весна-лето 2017 для женского отдела. Лондон вкладывается в развитие собственных талантов. Некоммерческая платформа Fashion East, основанная предпринимателем Лулу Кеннеди в 2000 году, – это один из самых значительных проектов по поддержке начинающих дизайнеров. Джонатан Сондерс, Симон Роша и Роксанда Илинчич в прошлом участвовали в этой программе. В числе недавних выпускников – Мими Уэйд с ее расписанной вручную кожгалантереей, Кейтлин Прайс, которая специализируется на шелковой и сатиновой клубной одежде, и Крейг Грин, сочетающий азиатскую эстетику с повседневным стилем в мужской одежде (за что ее особенно любят женщины). Все три дизайнера представлены в новом отделе Designer Studio универмага Selfridges: они соседствуют с состоявшимися, но склонными к экспериментам брендами, например, Marques Almeida и Christopher Kane. В новом отделе

Accessories Hall, оформленном Дэвидом Чипперфилдом, представлена линия аксессуаров для телефонов и путешествий Chaos, которую создали стилисты и консультанты Шарлотта Стокдейл и Кати Лайалл. Их чехлы для iPhone выполнены из оленьей кожи, а большие бирки с инициалами и кольца для ключей заметны на багаже или сумке, так что лондонский характер в дизайне не ограничивает себя в размерах. Мода совершает поворот от макро-трендов к нишевым и индивидуальным проектам, и новое поколение лондонских дизайнеров оказалось способно удовлетворить эту потребность. Стоит погрузиться в их творческие миры, как перед вами во всей красе предстанут их микровселенные идей и мнений. Некоторые покорят вас, другие, возможно, нет. Но вы никогда не встретите там посредственность.

44: Style On Demand Стиль по требованию Салли МакИлхоун рассказывает о концепции «увидел-купил», которая открывает покупателям доступ к новым коллекциям британских брендов сразу после показов на Неделе моды Мы живем в обществе, где много денег, но мало времени. Поэтому современные покупатели требуют, чтобы необходимые вещи оперативно доставлялись прямо к ним. Понятие «необходимых вещей» для тех, кто следит за модой, включает новые коллекции актуальных брендов со всего мира. Но речь идет не о том, чтобы разыскивать их в магазинах в первые дни нового сезона, а о возможности купить вещи из новой коллекции, как только последняя модель сошла с подиума. Зачем ждать несколько месяцев? Новый тренд получил название «see now, buy now» («увидел-купил»), и благодаря ему терпение больше не входит в список добродетелей модных знатоков. В области освоения технологий и деловых трендов Burberry всегда был в лидерах. В феврале 2016 года компания пообещала сократить количество показов с четырех до двух – в феврале и сентябре. Было решено представить мужскую и женскую коллекции вместе, а также позволить купить любую вещь сразу после презентации. Продажа открывалась и в фирменных магазинах,

и онлайн, а доставка осуществлялась более чем в 100 стран. Компания также упростила структуру коллекций: три линии – Prorsum, London и Brit – объединились в один общий лейбл Burberry, предназначенный поклонникам этого стиля по всему миру. «Эти перемены позволят нам построить более тесную связь между впечатлениями от показа и моментом, когда можно увидеть вещи в реальной жизни, – объясняет Кристофер Бейли, исполнительный директор и креативный директор Burberry. – Мы хотим заполнить этот пробел и преображаем наши презентации. Живые трансляции, заказ одежды прямо с подиума и кампании в социальных сетях – все это большие шаги в творческом процессе, который мы продолжим развивать и в будущем». Сразу после показа весна-лето 2017 Burberry предложил не только одежду, но и косметику, которая дополняла подиумные образы. Таким образом, все, кто предпочитают Burberry с головы до пят, смогли получить полюбившиеся вещи в рекордные сроки. А пользователи WeChat получили дополнительный бонус: сумка Bridle была доступна для заказа только через это приложение.

Burberry был не единственным брендом, который обратился к формату «увидел-купил», представляя коллекцию весна-лето 2017. Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger и Tom Ford также впервые открыли продажи сразу после шоу, и многие ритейлеры отметили мгновенные взлеты продаж. Business of Fashion сообщил, что три предмета из коллекции Burberry были полностью распроданы в течение первых трех дней. И речь не о аксессуарах типа косметики или очков: по данным аналитика ритейла Edited, в числе бестселлеров оказалась куртка Cavalry, а это одна из самых необычных и дорогих вещей коллекции. Topshop Unique также включился в эксперимент и сразу после показа на Лондонской неделе моды предложил улучшенную версию коллекции весна-лето 2017 на сайте и в избранных магазинах. Для шоу компания выбрала пространство Старого рынка в районе Спиталфилдс (Old Spitalfields Market), и в духе этого места предложила зрителям купить новые модели в стилизованной «рыночной лавке» поп-ап. «Отклик был фантастический. Мы сделали отличные продажи по всему миру

как в магазинах, так и на Topshop.com. Наши покупатели – несомненно, ранние последователи, которым интересно быть в числе первых», – рассказывает о результатах Джеки Маркхэм, директор по дизайну Topshop. Благодаря этому тренду компании также могут уточнить, какие вещи наиболее привлекательны для публики: «Всё с принтом зебры раскупили очень быстро, и костюмы из шерсти Farley показали себя очень хорошо. Большим хитом стал принт с английской розой и практичная рубашка красивого розового оттенка». В мире отношение к схеме «увидел-купил» неоднозначное. Однако тот факт, что уважаемые британские бренды Burberry и Topshop взяли ее на вооружение, наглядно демонстрирует, насколько гармоничны отношения лондонской моды с клиентами по всему миру. «Каждый бренд старается выявить, что будет лучше для него и его покупателей, – комментирует Маркхэм. – Мы знаем, насколько важна непосредственность и открытость, и мы хотим и дальше давать покупателям возможность приобретать вещи прямо с подиума». Вместе с такой открытостью приходят и перемены в ежегодном модном цикле. Маркхэм объясняет это так: «Электронная торговля разрушила традиционное понимание сезонности в моде. Быстрый способ доставки новых коллекций, доступность путешествий по миру и общение в социальных сетях – все это влияет на формирование модного календаря. Я думаю, движение в сторону сезонно нейтральных коллекций и доступности покупок после шоу станет нормой в Topshop Unique». Время покажет, как будет развиваться тренд «увидел-купил». Но британские модные фавориты Burberry и Topshop, подхватившие эту новацию, помогают модной индустрии в целом стать более динамичной и подвижной. И едва ли возможен столь же удачный момент, чтобы вплотную заняться своим стилем.

48: Time For Adventure Время приключений Часовая марка Bremont – одна из самых уважаемых в Великобритании. Ее основатель Джиллз Инглиш рассказывает Стивен Дойгу о том, как британская культура повлияла на дизайн часов бренда globalblue.com

Когда речь заходит о часовом искусстве, на ум сразу приходит долина Жу в Швейцарии, также известная под названием «Долина Часов», благодаря расположенным здесь часовым мануфактурам. Для кого-то швейцарские часы будут непременно ассоциироваться с ежегодной выставкой, где выставляются лучшие изобретения часовых мастеров – Baselworld. При виде некоторых из представляемых здесь моделей можно ненароком подумать, что они созданы для съемок научно-фантастического фильма. Симпатичный городок Хенли-он-Темс в английском графстве Оксфордшир, возможно, ни у кого не вызовет ассоциаций с часовым мастерством, однако именно здесь расположена штаб-квартира компании Bremont. Этот легендарный производитель – настоящий пример британской истории успеха, возникшей благодаря двум братьям, которых объединяла любовь к приключениям и открытию нового. «Открытие дела означало для нас в первую очередь возможность следовать увлечению всей нашей жизни», – говорит Джиллз Инглиш, основавший компанию в 2002 году со своим братом Ником. Любовь к авиации передалась братьям по наследству от их отца Юена; в 1995 году винтажный самолет, которым управлял отец, разбился. Юен погиб, а Ник выжил, но получил серьезные травмы. С тех пор братья решили, что жизнь слишком дорога, чтобы ей рисковать. После выздоровления Ника они начали искать способ вновь заняться увлечениями своего отца. Кроме авиации Юен увлекался механизмами, в том числе и часовыми. Это натолкнуло Ника и Джиллз на мысль о создании нового предприятия, которое получило имя Bremont.

Bremont – это не только редкий случай британского успеха в сфере часового искусства, бесспорным лидером которой является Швейцария. Часы бренда стали олицетворением исключительного британского мастерства. В число партнеров Bremont сейчас входит Jaguar и America’s Cup; бренд является официальным часовым партнером 35-й регаты Кубок «Америки», которая пройдет на Бермудах летом 2017

года. «Мы стремимся завоевать всемирное признание, поэтому участие в таких международных мероприятиях для нас очень важно, – поясняет Джиллз Инглиш. – Наш бренд не может похвастаться большой историей, но тот факт, что мы стали первым с 1851 года британским часовым партнером Кубка «Америки», говорит о том, что наша история рождается на глазах». По мере роста популярности, бренд открывал новые бутики. В 2012 году на South Audley Street в лондонском районе Мэйфейр был открыт первый флагманский магазин, больше напоминающий традиционный джентльменский клуб, обставленный кожаными креслами, книжными полками и авиационной атрибутикой. По мнению Инглиша, среди представленных на рынке наручных часов марка Bremont выгодно отличается лаконичностью дизайна. Британская сдержанность характеризует большинство коллекций Bremont: от классической серии ALT1-C до элегантной U-2. Спортивный стиль – излюбленная тема для всех производителей часов, стремящихся к тому, чтобы у изделий была своя история и характер. Марка Bremont не стала исключением, выпустив часы для яхтинга Supermarine и серию пилотных часов ALT1-Z Zulu. Последняя модель имеет циферблат с крупными цифрами, которые легко разглядеть на высоте 10 км, и заводную головку в ретро стиле. «Преимуществом работы с моим братом является то, что у нас совпадают мнения относительно дизайна, – говорит Инглиш. – Если есть кто-то, кто любит то же, что и ты – это значит, что процесс дизайна и разработки будет идти намного быстрее. У нас нет комитета по дизайну, и не нужно ни перед кем отчитываться, поэтому работа идет очень естественно». На выставке Baselworld 2016 бренд представил новую серию наручных часов America’s Cup Regatta, при создании которой был использован углерод, из которого сделаны яхты Oracle Team USA. Жизнь ценителей хороших часов едва ли назовешь скучной. В прошлом году дебютировала коллекция часов для женщин. Классический стиль Bremont обрел элегантные, женственные формы, все же

философия бренда не отошла на второй план. Модель Solo-32 LC, например, получила свое название в честь легендарной женщины-пилота 20 века – Леттис Кертис. Очевидно, что Bremont прокладывает свой собственный путь в мире часового искусства. «Если вы приобретаете часы Bremont, значит вы делаете это не ради того, чтобы покрасоваться брендом, – говорит Инглиш. – Это значит, что вам нравится точная техника, вы любите приключения и хотите владеть чем-то понастоящему уникальным».
