CROWNING GLORIES The House of Garrard is one of the oldest jewellers in the world, with records dating back to 1735, the year it received its first royal commission. A long relationship with the British royal family ensued and Garrard was appointed Crown Jeweller in 1843. It has made many royal tiaras, necklaces, brooches and other bejewelled pieces, including Princess Diana’s sapphire engagement ring, now worn by the Duchess of Cambridge. In view of the splendour surrounding this year’s royal wedding, browsing the tiara collection at Garrard’s Mayfair boutique is a must. Tiaras were designed by Garrard for Queen Victoria, in particular in 1870 when she was mourning Save up to 19% by shopping tax free, see page 65

her late husband Prince Albert and struggled to wear a heavy crown to formal events. The pieces in the house’s Princess tiara collection are made with white diamonds and feature removable centrepieces that can be worn as pendants. Exemplifying British craftsmanship and style, there are three designs in the range; the Charlotte (pictured), the Beatrice and, new this year, the Alice. rre Garrard Charlotte tiara, price on request, House of Garrard, 24 Albemarle Street, London W1S 4HT, +44 (0)20 7518 1070, garrard.com FOR MAP GO TO PAGE 54

MAYFAIR DEBUT London-based luxury designer Huishan Zhang has opened his very first store, which is set in one of the British capital’s most desirable shopping areas, Mount Street in Mayfair.

Devised in collaboration with celebrated interior designer Fran Hickman, the shop is an intimate reflection of Huishan Zhang’s eponymous brand, which mixes Eastern heritage and Western influences. The interior is inspired by Chinese gardens, and the resulting space feels very private and personal. The shop is the perfect backdrop for Huishan Zhang’s collections, which are romantic and sophisticated, with elegant, feminine details and strong lines. The brand’s studio is also housed at the London boutique, enabling customers to book one-to-one appointments for bespoke pieces. shc Huishan Zhang, 5B Mount Street, London W1K 3NE, +44 (0)20 7629 9466, huishanzhang.com

First unveiled at Milan Fashion Week in September, the highly anticipated Ashley Graham for Marina Rinaldi capsule collection features a full range of denim-focused casualwear for women. The collection translates the American model’s relaxed and unabashed femininity into a versatile clothing line that offers items likely to become wardrobe staples, such as tops, skirts and jackets (pictured, £706). Made from specially developed denim fabrics, all the pieces have been co-designed by Graham to capture the essence of her positive and exciting personality. js Marina Rinaldi, 5 Albemarle Street, London W1S 4HF, +44 (0)20 7629 4454, marinarinaldi.com FOR MAP GO TO PAGE 54

SUMMER KNIT Pringle of Scotland showcases the diverse nature of yarn for spring/summer 2018. The Scottish design house pioneered knitwear for all seasons, and its new collection features a range of textures and materials. Rustic looking raw silk pieces are inspired by baskets from the Shetland Islands, and featherweight items seem almost translucent. The collection also continues the brand’s celebration of storytelling. This season early 19th-century knitter Betty Mouat is an inspiration; she appeared, with her knitted work intact, on the coast of Norway after nine days adrift at sea.

The collection’s organic pieces pay tribute to her stoicism and her knitting talent. rre Pringle of Scotland, 94 Mount Street, London W1K 2SZ, +44 (0)20 3011 0031, pringlescotland.com FOR MAP GO TO PAGE 52

MR & MRS ITALY ARRIVES Mr & Mrs Italy has opened a sleek new store in the heart of the West End. Originally focused on parkas, the Italian brand has expanded its offering and its range now includes jackets, T-shirts, sweaters and more, all made in Italy by expert craftsmen. Visit the London store on Old Bond Street to shop the spring/ summer 2018 travel-inspired collections for men and women. Key styles include parkas and bombers in a wide range of fabrics. Military influences as well as embroidery, prints and patches give this season’s designs plenty of panache. grc Mr & Mrs Italy, 38 Old Bond Street, London W1S 4QW, +44 (0)20 7491 9857, mmi.it FOR MAP GO TO PAGE 54 globalblue.com

Known for its contemporary and colourful designs, Escada offers something for every occasion, be it an elegant dress or a casual outfit.

This season’s mainline looks are defined by bold colours, stripes and embellishments, while the sport collection has a laid-back feel, with pastel shades, sportswear influences and simple silhouettes. grc Escada, 129 Sloane Street, London SW1X 9AT, +44 (0)20 7245 9800, escada.com FOR MAP GO TO PAGE 58

This season Coach presents a collection that pays tribute to New York pop artist Keith Haring. The brand’s British creative director, Stuart Vevers, was inspired by Haring’s graffiti style and painterly prints. Highlights of the new range include bomber and suede jackets, T-shirts, sweaters and bags with the artist’s distinctive line drawings. Our favourite is the Skater Souvenir varsity jacket in deep clementine (£650). Founded in New York in 1941, Coach started out as a leather goods and accessories brand with a particular emphasis on craftsmanship ‒ a heritage the label continues to celebrate today. grc Coach, 206 Regent Street, London W1B 5BN, +44 (0)20 7734 8472, coach.com FOR MAP GO TO PAGE 55

IRISH INSPIRATION Waterford, the luxury glass maker, recently introduced four new collections with a classic yet contemporary feel. These range from tableware to homeware and include decanters, vases and candlesticks. Waterford was founded by two brothers in 1783 in the Irish town of the same name, and the brand continues to draw on its heritage for its designs. Among the new ranges, the Treasures of the Sea collection comprises four designs which are based on pieces from the Waterford archive ‒ the Colleen, Alana, Tramore and Araglin patterns, each originally inspired by the people and nature of Ireland. These latest full-lead crystal designs are stunning examples of Waterford’s exquisite craftsmanship. grc Harrods, 87-135 Brompton Road, London SW1X 7XL, +44 (0)20 7730 1234, waterford.co.uk FOR MAP GO TO PAGE 57

The luxury fashion label and the French outerwear brand cleverly fuse their respective styles. Pieces include waterproof denim shorts and hooded jackets with a transparent plastic coating featuring K-Way’s signature striped zips.

n the 220 years since it was founded, pharmacy John Bell & Croyden has delighted millions of customers.

Unsurprisingly, the boutique is a favourite among the rich and famous; it has even been pharmacy to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II since 1958.

The royal warrant-holding store is on the ground floor of a historic block, just a few moments away from the bustle of London’s famous Oxford Street. It was renovated in 2015 and now more than ever is a sleek, luxurious space. The new design embraces original features and respects the tradition of the brand, mixing this heritage with a fresh and modern aesthetic that makes the most of

COOL

Whether long-time style heroes or younger creatives, Britain’s leading fashion designers are uniquely flamboyant and are admired the world over. Their reputation shows no sign of waning, says Ruairidh Pritchard

ritish culture has held a decades-long reputation for cool, from the mods and rockers of the 1960s and the punk rock of the 70s to the new romantics of the 80s, the Brit-pop of the 90s and the bohemian chic and indie grunge of the 2000s. Nowhere is this more evident than in Britain’s fashion, whether through long-established labels or through younger designers. In fashion, the 90s catchphrase of Cool Britannia is just as valid now as it was then.

In the midst of the emerging punk scene in 70s London, Vivienne Westwood began designing clothes. She opened her first store, Let it Rock (later renamed Sex and today known as Worlds End), on King’s Road in 1971 and soon began dressing the members of the Sex Pistols. So started an era of British fashion directly inspired by the designer’s unapologetically punk attitude. She became renowned in the international fashion world and remains so today.

In her spring/summer 2018 catwalk show, Westwood presented a collection as politically charged as ever. White shirts covered in scrawled statements about waste and consumerism were shown alongside T-shirts emblazoned with slogans about saving the rainforests. Raw-hemmed knitwear was covered in activist graffiti and one style featured a large black footprint - a reference to the world’s ever-increasing carbon emissions.

The designer’s signature structural dresses and architectural tailored pieces were in evidence, too, in addition to blouses, shirts and trousers embellished with a new-season print inspired by playing cards. The collection was shown by a mixed troupe of statuesque models and crowd-pleasing acrobats who performed down the runway.

Another design hero who started out in the 1970s is Paul Smith, a man whose passion for British subcultures and music movements has played an important role in his much-celebrated designs. Over the years, Smith has been heavily influenced by his love of music, in particular that of his teenage idols and later friends and customers, Jimmy Page and David Bowie.

billowing silhouettes and vivid prints that helped define the Northern Soul music and dance movement of his adolescent years and that inspired his signature floral prints.

Tailored pieces for men and women (for which the brand is famous) feature notched lapels, low break points and square shoulders, giving a nod to some of the designer’s 1980s pieces.

New-season bright Hawaiian print shirts and striped beach-style bags add a touch of resort to the collection.

photographed women – famous fans include Rihanna, Angelina Jolie and the Duchess of Cambridge.

For spring/summer 2018 the designer has turned her attention to the everyday. She describes her aesthetic as ‘British, humorous and personalised’, and for this collection takes inspiration from British suburban culture.

Designs and materials have been influenced by the housecoats and wallpapers typical of British family homes in the 70s. Key styles include metallic clutches, tall totes and bag accessories, most noticeably oversized, cartoonish padded bag charms made with soft nappa leather.

Whether it’s the punk-infused looks of Vivienne Westwood, the striking styles of Paul Smith, the strong, feminine collections of Victoria Beckham or the eccentric accessories of Anya Hindmarch, Britain’s leading fashion designers remain thoughtful, original and above all cool.

the pop group the Spice Girls, she has had a strong influence on the style of a generation of women. In 2008, Beckham took her status as style legend one step further, launching an eponymous fashion label that would go on to win the British Fashion Award’s Brand of the Year prize in 2011. Today she is one of the country’s most exciting and respected fashion designers.

This season’s collection is one of her most celebrated to date, contrasting traditionally feminine elements – light fabrics such as chiffon and wool voile – with workwear-inspired checks drawn from technical textbooks. Bold colours, Play-Doh shades and what the designer refers to as ‘neon pastels’ saturate the standout pieces.

‘This collection is delicate, but it isn’t fragile’, notes Beckham.

Another name to celebrate is Anya Hindmarch, whose trademark handbags are so much more than accessories. Hindmarch founded her bag empire in the 1980s and has since seen great success. She was the first accessories designer to hold an on-schedule London Fashion Week show, and her bags have been worn by some of the world’s most

TABLE TALK Afternoon tea is a delicious and quintessentially British custom, and London offers a number of wonderfully glamorous venues in which to enjoy it. Hamish Monk selects four of the best

There a very few things that are more British than a cup of tea. The country’s obsession with drinking tea dates back to the 17th century, but the custom of taking afternoon tea, an altogether grander ceremony, was introduced in the 1840s. The story goes that it was a solution to the hunger that Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, felt around 4pm. Initially taking the form of bread and butter (later sandwiches), cake and a pot of tea, afternoon tea quickly became a habit of Anna’s. She often invited her friends to join her, and they transformed her afternoon tea habit into a British high society convention. In time hotels and tea rooms across the country offered their own afternoon teas.

Today taking afternoon tea is still one of the most glamorous ways to spend an afternoon in London, and venues include some of the capital’s landmark hotels as well as restaurants and tea rooms in luxury department stores. We’ve selected four of the very best places in London to have afternoon tea. globalblue.com

THE RITZ One of London’s landmark hotels, the Ritz was founded by famous Swiss hotelier César Ritz and first opened its doors in 1906. The hotel immediately became popular with many of Britain’s most prominent members of high society, from prime ministers and royalty to socialites and actors. In 2002 it became the first hotel in Britain to be granted a royal warrant. Today the Ritz is still among the capital’s most splendid hotels and it serves one of the most luxurious afternoon teas in the city. Held in the beautiful gilded Palm Court, afternoon tea at the Ritz is almost ceremonial in its grandeur.

It offers a choice of 18 types of loose-leaf tea, including the Ritz Royal blend available only at the hotel, along with an exquisite selection of finely cut sandwiches and freshly baked scones (served with Cornish clotted cream and strawberry preserve), mouthwatering cakes and delicate pastries. For the ultimate indulgence, afternoon tea here can be enjoyed with a glass of the Ritz’s own champagne.

FORTNUM & MASON The oldest department store in the world, Fortnum & Mason has been serving fine food to Londoners since 1707. Known for its gourmet hampers, fine wines, spirits and teas, the store also provides one of the best afternoon teas in the city. In the Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon, which was opened in 2012 by Her Majesty the Queen, the menu offers a selection of finger sandwiches (including Fortnum’s own smoked salmon and a contemporary twist on traditional cucumber sandwiches) and scones served with Somerset clotted cream and a choice of Fortnum & Mason preserves.

In addition there’s a cake carriage containing all manner of sweet treats that can be enjoyed alongside a choice of pastries. The real star, however, is the tea itself, with more than 50 varieties to choose from.

Fortnum & Mason, 181 Piccadilly, London W1A 1ER, +44 (0)20 7734 8040, fortnumandmason.com

Sketch, in the exclusive Mayfair district, is one of London’s most fashionable restaurants. Led by Hervé Deville, Sketch’s executive head chef, and Christophe Gasper, the restaurant’s head of pastry, the afternoon tea experience here is a playful mix of tradition and contemporary luxury.

The menu includes classic afternoon tea fare, the likes of sultana and plain scones served with clotted cream and jams, and assorted finger sandwiches. There are also flamboyant flourishes such as quail eggs served with Oscietra caviar. A selection of handpicked teas ranges from Sketch’s own blend to Japanese sencha tea. To finish, guests can enjoy a slice of banana loaf filled with layers of creamy fudge, and a selection of tantalising cakes, including Caribbean chocolate and coffee tart and exotic fruit and lime cheesecake.

THE ZETTER TOWNHOUSE CLERKENWELL One of London’s most charming Georgian properties, the Zetter Townhouse in the Clerkenwell district is a relatively new addition to the range of afternoon tea venues across the capital. You’re served tea in the hotel’s intimate cocktail lounge, strikingly decorated to emulate a grand private residence. There’s a choice between Aunt Wilhelmina’s selection of dainty sandwiches (classics such as smoked salmon and cream cheese, and coronation chicken), and Uncle Seymour’s hearty treats, which feature truffled sausage rolls and mini croque

monsieurs. Both menus include traditional freshly baked plain and raisin scones served with Cornish clotted cream and strawberry jam, and delicious cakes such as the indulgent salted caramel and apple choux bun. The selection of teas runs from traditional Earl Grey to an exotic white peony variety, and you can also opt to enjoy tea with a house cocktail or a glass of champagne.

The Zetter Townhouse Clerkenwell, 49-50 St John’s Square, London EC1V 4JJ, +44 (0)20 7324 4545, thezettertownhouse.com

Celebrated French chef Claude Bosi has breathed new life into one of South Kensington’s premier restaurants, Bibendum. First opened in 1987, Bibendum was acclaimed for its flamboyant dishes. Bosi holds two Michelin stars and has reinvented the restaurant’s cuisine with contemporary twists on classic dishes, including beef fillet with red cabbage, Sturia Oscietra caviar and oysters, and Brittany rabbit with langoustine and artichoke. Bibendum’s new stance as the home of contemporary French fine dining in London is already winning accolades from the capital’s food lovers.

滚，再到21世 纪 初的波希 米 亚 风 潮 和独 立 垃 圾 摇 滚，几十 年以 来英国文化素以一 个“ 酷 ”字而 著 称。这一点在 英国的时尚界最明显不过了，无 论是 知名品牌还 是 年 轻 设 计师都 不例外。在时 尚界，90年 代 的流行标 语 “ 酷不 列颠 尼 亚” 放 到 现 在同样 恰如其分。 在 70年 代 风 靡 伦敦 的朋克浪潮 之中，维 维 安 •韦 斯 特 伍德（Vivienne Westwood）开始 设 计 服 装。1971年，她 在国王 路上 开设了自己的第一 家商店 Let it Rock（后来被 更名为Sex，如 今名 为Worlds End），不久 之后便 开始为 性手枪 乐队 （Sex Pistols）的成 员提 供 服 装。这位设 计师 “绝 不 低 头”的朋克 态度 直 接 影响了整 个行业，一 个 英 伦 时尚的全 新 时代由此开始。她 在国际时尚 界风 生 水起，至今威 名不 减 分毫。 globalblue.cn

一如既 往 地，韦 斯 特 伍德 在 2018年春夏季 的秀 场上 呈现了一 个充 满 政 治意 味 的系列。白 色 衬 衫上潦草 地 写着关于浪 费与消费主义 的宣 言，同场展 示的 T恤 则 饰 有关于拯 救雨林的 标 语。磨 边针 织衫上印着风 格激 进 的涂 鸦，还有 一 款饰 有一 个硕大的黑色 脚印 — —意 指 世界 各 地不断 增 长的碳 足 迹。 女式 衬 衫 、男士衬 衫 和长裤上饰 有以扑克 牌为灵 感 的新季印 花，此 外设 计师 标 志性 的结 构 连 衣 裙 和充 满 建 筑 美感 的正 装 作品同样引人 注目。展 示系列作品的不 仅有一 群高挑 挺 拔 的 模 特，还有一 班令观 众 大呼 过瘾 的杂 技演 员， 他们 一 边 表演一 边走完了 T台。 保 罗•史密 斯（Paul Smith）是 另一 位于70年 代 起 家的设 计 传 奇。在设 计那 些 备 受赞 誉的作 品过 程中，他 对 于英国亚文化 和音乐 运 动的饱 满 热 情发 挥了重要 作用。多年以 来，史密 斯 钟 爱的音乐对他 影响 深 远，尤其是 他 儿时奉 作 偶 像、后来成 为好友与顾客的 吉米 • 佩奇（ Jimmy Page）和大 卫• 鲍 伊（David Bowie）的作品。 2018年春夏季，史密 斯从他的青 春 时代 挖 掘 灵 感，重 新演绎那 些曾定 义了昔日“北 方灵 魂”音乐 和舞 蹈 运 动、并对他 标 志性 的 植物印 花 带来启发 的飘 逸 廓 形 与鲜 艳印 花。男士 和女 士 西 装（该品牌 赖以成 名的 衣 款）饰 有平 驳领，衣 领拨 折点偏 低，肩部 平阔方正，致 敬了这位设 计师 80年 代 的部 分 作品。新季度夏威 夷印 花 衬 衫 和沙滩 风 格 的条 纹手 袋 则为这一系列增添了 一抹假日风情。 二十多年以 来，维多利亚•贝克汉 姆 ( Victoria Beckham）一直 是世界上 知名度 最高 的女 性之一。作为流行团体 辣妹 合唱团（Spice Girls）的五位 成 员之一，她曾对 一代 年 轻 女孩 的着 装 风 格产生 过 深 刻影响。2008年，维多利 亚 进一 步提 升了她作为时尚传 奇的地位，推出 了同名时装品牌，并于2011年 英国时尚大奖中 荣膺 年度 最佳品牌 奖。如 今，她已是 英国最激 动人心、最受 推崇的时尚 设 计师 之一。 本 季 作品是她 迄 今为止收 获 赞 誉 最多的系 列之一，传 统的女 性 元 素 — — 雪纺绸 和 羊 毛 纱 等 轻 盈面 料 — — 与取 材于技 术 教 科书的工 装 风 格 纹 形成了鲜明反 差。醒目的色 彩、培乐多 彩 泥一 般 的靓丽基调 和设 计师所 说 的 “淡 雅霓 虹色”让 这 些杰出的作品显得 分外 抢 镜。“这个 系列精 致但 并不脆弱，”维多利亚如是评论 道。 另外一 个 值得 称 赞的名字是 安雅 • 希德 玛芝 ( Anya Hindmarch），她 的 标 志性手 袋 远 不止 是 一 般 的配饰而已。希德 玛芝于80年 代 建 立了她 的手 袋 帝国，由此创造了巨大的辉 煌；她是首位 被 列入伦敦时装 周日程的配饰 设 计师，许 多 全

世界最 上镜 的女 性都曾选 择她 的手 袋 作为搭 配；她 的名人 粉 丝包括 蕾 哈娜（Rihanna）、安 吉丽娜• 朱 莉（Angelina Jolie）和剑 桥 公爵夫 人。 2018年春夏季，这位设 计师将注 意力转向了 日常装 束。她 用 “英 伦、诙谐、个 性化”来 描 述自 己的审 美 风 格，新系列的灵 感则源自英国城 郊 文化；70年 代 英国人 家中常见的居家便 服 和 墙 纸 给系列作品的设 计与用料 带来了启发。主 打 款 式包括金 属质感 的手拿包、外形 狭长的 托 特 包 和手 袋 饰 物，特 别引人注目的是 超 大尺寸卡 通 风手 袋 饰 物，以 柔 软的纳帕 革制作而成。 无论是 维 维 安 •韦 斯 特 伍德 的朋克 风 装 束， 保 罗•史密 斯 的惊 艳 款 式，维多利亚•贝克汉 姆 极具女 性气 质的系列作品，还 是 安雅 • 希德 玛芝 异乎 寻常的配饰，英国 顶尖设 计师们 依然 思虑 深 远、创意卓 绝，最 重要 的是 — — 依然“ 酷 ”字 当先。愿他们 的作品不朽常青。

РУССКИЙ ПЕРЕВОД 38: COOL BRITANNIA «КРУТАЯ БРИТАНИЯ» Ведущие британские модельеры, от знаменитых до начинающих, почитаемы во всем мире, благодаря своей уникальной экстравагантности, и их популярность только растет, – говорит Руайрид Притчард Британская культура распространяется по миру не одно десятилетие подряд: от модов и рокеров 1960-х, панков 70-х и романтиков 80-х до брит-попа 90-х и инди-гранджа 2000-х. Модная индустрия не осталась в стороне, подарив миру огромное число талантливых дизайнеров. А появившийся в 90-х термин Cool Britannia («крутая Британия») остается столь же актуальным и в наши дни. Вивьен Вествуд занялась дизайном одежды в разгар панк-культуры 70-х годов. Первый магазин дизайнера Let it Rock (позже переименованный в Sex и сегодня известный под названием Worlds End) открылся на King’s Road в 1971 году, а вскоре после этого появились и первые звездные клиенты в лице участников группы Sex Pistols. Так началась эра британской моды, напрямую вдохновленной музыкальными увлечениями модельера. Она получила широкую популярность по всему миру, и не утратила ее до сих пор. В коллекции Вествуд весна-лето 2018, как и всегда, было много политики. Наряду с белыми рубашками с лозунгами о расточительстве и консюмеризме были продемонстрированы футболки, призывающие к защите тропических лесов. Трикотажные изделия с грубой отделкой украшены граффити, на одном из которых изображен черный отпечаток ноги – символ нарастающего объема выбросов CO2 в атмосферу. На показе можно было заметить структурные платья и деловые образы, ставшие визитной карточкой дизайнера, а также блузы, рубашки и брюки, украшенные

В коллекции Вивьен Вествуд весна-лето 2018, как и всегда, было много политики принтами с изображением игральных карт. На подиум вышла смешанная группа из статных моделей и артистов-трюкачей, исполняющих акробатические номера. Пол Смит – еще один дизайнер, пришедший в индустрию в 1970-х годах. Страсть к британским субкультурам и музыкальным движениям сыграла немаловажную роль в его творчестве. На протяжении многих лет Смит вдохновлялся музыкой своих юношеских кумиров, а позже друзей и клиентов, – Джимми Пейджа и Девида Боуи. Для сезона весна-лето 2018 Смит черпает вдохновение из своей молодости, переосмысливая свободные силуэты и яркие принты, ассоциирующиеся с музыкальным направлением Северный соул. Деловые образы для мужчин и женщин включают прямоугольные лацканы, заниженные линии среза и квадратные плечи, отсылая к коллекциям дизайнера в 1980-х годах.

Гавайские рубашки и полосатые пляжные сумки добавляют коллекции курортный оттенок. Виктория Бекхэм, участница некогда популярной группы «Spice Girls», уже более двух десятилетий остается одной из самых известных женщин в мире, а ее образ оказал сильное влияние на целое поколение молодежи. В 2008 году Бекхэм обрела еще больший успех, запустив одноименный бренд одежды, который в 2011 году получил награду British Fashion Award в категории «Лучший дизайнерский бренд». Сегодня она входит в число наиболее интересных и уважаемых модельеров страны. Коллекция этого сезона выдалась особенно успешной, благодаря сочетанию традиционных женственных элементов, а именно: легких тканей, таких как шифон и шерстяная вуаль с узором в клетку, срисованным с технической литературы. Яркие цвета, пластилиновые оттенки и «неоновая пастель» заметно выделяют коллекцию, которая, по словам Бэкхем, «деликатная, но не хрупкая». Еще одно имя, которое стоит упомянуть, – это Аня Хиндмарч, чьи фирменные сумки выходят за рамки понятия аксессуар. Хиндмарч основала свою империю сумок в 1980-х, и с тех пор ее популярность непрерывно растет. Она была первым дизайнером аксессуаров, представленным на сезонных показах Лондонской недели моды, а ее сумки можно было заметить у целого ряда знаменитостей, включая Рианну, Анджелину Джоли и герцогиню Кембриджскую. В сезоне весна-лето 2018 модельер сосредоточила свое внимание на повседневных вещах. Свою эстетику она называет «британской, юмористической и индивидуализированной», а источником вдохновения для последней коллекции стала британская провинциальная культура. На создание образов и выбор материалов значительное влияние оказали домашние халаты и комнатные обои, которые были популярны в британских домах в 70-е годы. Ключевые стили включают клатчи металлических оттенков, высокие тоуты и аксессуары для сумок. Особенно выделяются крупные шармы из мягкой замши в форме мультипликационных образов.

POSTCARD

MACKINTOSH Founded in the early 19th century, Mackintosh is one of the UK’s oldest luxury brands for outerwear. It is named after Scottish inventor and chemist Charles Macintosh (the k was a later addition) who developed a rubberised, waterproof fabric in 1823. Coats made of this material subsequently became known as macs. The brand is still based in Scotland, where it combines traditional techniques with a modern-day vision, continuing to produce waterproof coats that offer protection in almost all weather conditions. Recently Mackintosh has collaborated with some of Europe’s biggest stores and designers, including Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Liberty. It opened its first store in Save up to 19% by shopping tax free, see page 65

London’s Mayfair district in 2011. For spring/ summer 2018, Mackintosh has collaborated with Maison Margiela to offer designs with a contemporary twist on the time-honoured raincoat. There are two limited-edition menswear pieces; a white lab coat-inspired mac and a slate grey trench coat. The collaboration also features womenswear styles that take inspiration from the Mackintosh archives. rre Mackintosh, 19 Conduit Street, London W1S 2BH, +44 (0)20 7493 4667, mackintosh.com FOR MAP GO TO PAGE 54
