Sara Gelfgren Illustrator Sara Gelfgren created this season’s cover for London Style. Sara is based in the city and her colourful and imaginative style made her the perfect choice for this cover, which refects our feature about some of London’s most interesting markets (see page 46). The cover shows a market stall flled with London-themed items including an umbrella in the shape of the Shard, a Millennium Eye cake and a Big Ben grandfather clock. Sara has previously been commissioned by Penfeld, Women’s Health and Greenpeace among others. Explore our archive of cover illustrations at globalblue.com/covers.

M
arkets are central to life in the city. Daily and weekly enterprises are thriving; some are centuries old, while others are new to the scene. All provide memorable experiences, whether you’re looking for a quick lunch at a street food stall or have time to browse the goods selected by specialist antique dealers. These markets also provide a snapshot of the diverse neighbourhoods within the city and visitors are sure to have a memorable experience, wherever you go. Portobello Road Market could quite easily be classifed as the quintessential London market. It is known around the world, and is popular with visitors and locals alike. A market has been 89 / 103

held here since the 19th century and, as with many of London’s historic markets, some of the stalls are run by third-generation traders. Portobello Road Market has a diverse range of products; although it’s most famous for its many antique shops and stalls, vintage clothing, contemporary fashion and food are also sold. Stalls are set up here during most of the week, with the full market open on Fridays and Saturdays from 8am to 6.30pm.

or devotees of fashion, German designer Markus Lupfer needs no introduction. He is the man who revitalised knitwear, turning it from the bulky, drab top layer one reaches for on a cold day to a fun fashion staple. Famed for his jumpers adorned with sequined lips, animals and ice cream, he is now known the world over, and is introducing other standout elements to his collections. His autumn/winter 2015/16 collection is flled with stunning tapestry print minidresses, skirts and bomber jackets, and features innovative tailoring along with lashings of metallics. ‘It is based around a secret garden idea,’ Lupfer explains. ‘There are woodland characters, garden gnomes and forbidden fruit. We have focused on a darker colour palette and opulent fabrics.’ These more brooding shades give the collection a maturity that is balanced with youthful accessories such as woollen hats adorned with cats’ ears, pom poms and jewelled details. When asked about his favourite pairings for
Beyoncé, Rihanna and Madonna have been seen wearing Markus Lupfer’s clothing designs autumn and winter, he highlights his sunglasses printed with images of daisies and the ‘oversized foral jacquard parka’ which look ‘really special’ together. Lupfer attributes his enthusiasm for clothing design to his grandmother who ‘was a huge infuence, and inspired me to get into fashion.’ ‘She was a very glamorous lady and her sister was a dressmaker and it was always exciting to visit her place.’ Lupfer decided to study fashion design at the University of Westminster in London where he graduated with a frst-class honours degree. His fnal year collection was sold in Koh Samui, one of London’s most notable boutiques for new design

talent and, just four years later, he was awarded the British Fashion Council’s New Generation award. Having lived and been inspired by Germany and the UK, Lupfer praises both countries for shaping his creative eye, with Germany infuencing his technical skills and the UK providing him with a frm foundation in the design process. One of Lupfer’s most recognisable motifs is the open pair of pouting sequined lips which developed from his habit of signing of his letters with little hand-drawn lips, signifying a kiss. ‘This was the starting point of the sequin lips,’ Lupfer explains. The lips also tap into Lupfer’s aesthetic, which he describes as ‘contemporary, wearable and with a little bit of humour’, and he sees his clients as being ‘young, fun, looking for an adventure’ and ‘with a sense of humour.’ In particular, Lupfer’s knitwear items embody this youthful, vibrant energy and many contain ‘girly’ tonguein-cheek references. Sequined jumpers from the spring/summer 2015 collection say ‘Crush’ and ‘Mermaid’, for example, and such pieces are considered by Lupfer to be design pieces that are special but can be worn every day. By cornering the market in wearable fun fashion that also hints at elegance, Lupfer has caught the eye of some highprofle people. He says that actress Britt Robertson was spotted ‘looking gorgeous’ in a piece from the current collection, and that Above (both): Markus Lupfer autumn/winter 2015/16

Beyoncé, Rihanna and Madonna have also been seen in his designs. ‘It is always so exciting to see people in our clothes, especially young and exciting talent,’ he says. Even after winning awards and seeing his clothing worn by A-list celebrities, Lupfer is determined to help designers who are looking to start their careers. Lupfer describes his proudest achievement as ‘supporting a small group of designers in Ethiopia to develop their collections and help to start their careers.’ Helping to nurture these unknown designers is an experience that Lupfer goes on to describe as Above: Markus Lupfer autumn/winter 2015/16
‘really rewarding.’ It is not often that an internationally acclaimed designer takes time out from their busy schedule to think about future generations of designers, especially those from less privileged backgrounds, and this is testament to Lupfer’s character: he may be fun-focused when it comes to his designs, but he is also compassionate and wants to give something back. For now though, his focus is on his spring/summer 2016 sunglasses and shoe collections: ‘I am rather excited about both!’ And, unsurprisingly, so are we markuslupfer.com

TABLE TALK The frst meal of the day is enjoying a makeover. Katie Muxworthy tucks in to some of the tastiest breakfast and brunch dishes in the city
From pastries and Middle Eastern dishes to healthy options and contemporary twists on the classic full English breakfast, the frst meal of the day comes in many forms in the capital. The traditional English breakfast, or fry-up, comprises bacon, sausages and eggs, which are typically served with fried bread or toast, fried or grilled tomatoes, fried mushrooms and sometimes black pudding or hash browns. According to the English Breakfast Society, the dish dates globalblue.com
back to the early 19th century when the British gentry considered breakfast to be an important social event and an excellent way to show of their wealth and the abundant produce from their estates. While a traditional fry-up is still a national favourite, chefs in the capital are becoming increasingly creative over breakfast. The good news is that you don’t have to be an early riser to savour London’s tastiest trend as breakfast and brunch options are served in many places until midday.

DISHOOM Morning meals just got a lot more exotic thanks to cult brunch destination Dishoom in Shoreditch. This retro-stylish Indian restaurant gives wellknown British dishes an eastern twist. Try its interpretation of the classic full English breakfast, which sees spiced scrambled eggs served on toast with bacon, sausages and vine tomatoes. Or start the day with a signature
Dishoom naan roll, baked in a tandoor oven, stufed with cream cheese, chilli jam and fresh herbs and served with additional fllings such as handmade Shropshire pork sausages, bacon and eggs. For a lighter option, order a breakfast lassi, a fortifying take on the refreshing Indian yoghurt drink, made with mango, banana and oats.

Cook, restaurateur and food writer Bill Granger was a pioneer of communal tables when he introduced the idea at his eatery in Sydney about 20 years ago. He set up his frst British restaurant in Notting Hill in 2011 and several other branches have since been launched. The Notting Hill space refects the spirit that characterises all of his restaurants; it is warm and inviting whatever the weather, the menu is always distinctive and the dishes are full of favour. Those feeling virtuous can start the day with freshly squeezed juices and muesli with almond milk, coconut yoghurt and fruit compote. Other highlights include the fantastic ricotta hotcakes served with banana and honeycomb butter, and the Full Aussie – scrambled eggs on sourdough toast with bacon, cumin-roasted tomatoes, chestnut mushrooms and chipolatas.

NEXT The latest womenswear collection from British high street favourite Next combines texture and colour with sophisticated style. A wide-reaching colour palette spans jewel tones of forest green and blue, icy pastels, statement winter brights and metallic splashes. There’s a pleasing 1970s feel in the form of pussy-bow blouses, ft-andfare dresses and slouchy tailored suits. For of-duty days, we love these elegant high-waisted jeans which can be paired with chic and understated knits. Next, 508-520 Oxford Street, London W1C 1NX, +44 (0)84 4844 5319, next.co.uk

MY NEIGHBOURHOOD: DINNY HALL Jewellery designer Dinny Hall studied at London’s prestigious art and design college Central Saint Martins. She frst came to prominence when her entire graduate collection was bought by the famous department store Liberty. Over 30 years, Dinny has become known worldwide for her beautiful yet wearable jewellery. Here, she talks about her two favourite areas of London with Hannah Lewis dinnyhall.com
PHOTO: PAOLA PIERONI
‘My two favourite areas of London are Notting Hill and Islington. I’ve lived in both, and this is why I chose to open my two stores in these parts of the city. When visiting one of my boutiques, look out for the Cushion Hoops from my latest collection, of which I’m particularly fond. ‘There are many fabulous fashion stores in Notting Hill, including Helmut Lang, and Sub Couture for well-priced staples. Golborne Road Market, an ofshoot of Portobello Road Market, is where all the best second-hand furniture stores can be found. ‘When I eat out, I go to
Santo on Portobello Road, a Mexican restaurant with charisma, divine margaritas made with fresh kiwi or raspberry, and very good, authentic food. The café at 202, on Westbourne Grove, is next to my store and is a great meeting place for lunch – do try the risottos. You’ll never see so many fashion executives and designers, flm directors and actors eating lunch in the same place and in such a relaxed, laid-back atmosphere. Tavola on Westbourne Grove is chef Alistair Littles’s delicatessen. He does the best pesto in London and the most delicious

seasonal soups, which are all made on the premises. ‘The Grocer on Elgin, on Elgin Crescent, sells fantastic bread and meals that you can take out, my favourite being the south-east Asian prawn curry. ‘BeautyWorksWest is a friendly beauty sanctuary. Staf members are experts in up-tothe-minute beauty treatments, all carried out in luxury surroundings. The owner Suzy is inspirational. ‘When in Islington, go to Tallulah on Cross Street for a personal ftting of lovely lingerie, rest a while in the churchyard at St Mary’s Upper Street and then cut through to Essex Road and browse the auction rooms at Criterion Auctioneers. ‘I love to walk in the grandiose Kensington Gardens, which has such lovely trees, as well as around Primrose Hill and Regents Park, where
there’s a hidden garden. I also enjoy wandering around places such as Bunhill Fields where the English poet William Blake is buried. ‘The best view in London is from a corner of Hampstead Heath, near the Spaniards Inn, where you can see the whole of the city. ‘The best-kept secret is Melt on Ledbury Road which specialises in handmade chocolates. I recommend trying the raspberry chocolate, the mint with dark milk chocolate, or the white chocolate with lemon and thyme.’

Рыночная Цена Джинджер Кларк рассказывает о знаменитых лондонских рынках, начиная от Портабелло Роуд с его антикварными лавками и заканчивая фермерским рынком Бороу Маркет, известным своими деликатесами
PHOTO: CHRIS BROWN CC BY-SA 2.0
Рынки играют ключевую роль в жизни города. Часть из них работает ежедневно, другая – лишь по выходным. Наряду со сравнительно новыми предпринимателями здесь можно встретить продукцию компаний, основанных более ста лет назад. Неважно, на какой рынок вы отправитесь и какую цель преследуете, просто попробовать традиционной уличной еды или найти оригинальный сувенир, – вас
везде будут ждать незабываемые впечатления, а также знакомство с разнообразными лондонскими районами. Рынок на Portabello Road (Portobello Road Market) без сомнений можно назвать самым типичным лондонским рынком. Его слава простирается далеко за пределы Великобритании, и он пользуется равной популярностью как у приезжих, так и у местных жителей. Первые прилавки появились здесь еще в 19 веке, и многие из них находятся в управлении третьего поколения предпринимателей. На рынке представлен самый широкий ассортимент товаров, от антиквариата и винтажных аксессуаров до современной одежды и еды. Некоторые палатки открыты на протяжении всей недели, но официально рынок работает по пятницам и субботам с 8 до 18:30.

Еще один рынок, специализирующийся на подержанных вещах и антиквариате, но менее людный, чем Portobello Road Market, – это Bermondsey Antiques Market. Этот небольшой, но приятный рынок на юге Лондона открыт по пятницам с 6:00 до 14:00. Посетителей встретит оживленный гул покупателей, снующих между прилавками с столовым серебром, иллюстрациями Викторианской эпохи и ветхими книгами. Рынок Broadway Market, работающий по субботам с 7:30 до 19:00, окутан стильной хипстерской атмосферой, дополненной рядами независимых бутиков и кафетериев. Именно здесь любит коротать выходные местная публика, наслаждаясь покупками или уютной атмосферой местных globalblue.com
ресторанчиков. Если вам представится возможность побывать в этих краях, то вы можете также посетить расположенный неподалеку базар Netil Market на Westgate Street. Он возник всего лишь пять лет назад, обеспечив работой местные творческие коллективы. Приходить сюда нужно по субботам с 11 утра до 6 вечера, тогда у вас будут отличные шансы найти здесь оригинальные изделия из керамики, ювелирные украшения, произведения искусства и одежду. Цветочный рынок Columbia Road Flower Market – еще одно место, которое стоит увидеть своими глазами. Он был основан в 1869 году, но в 1970-х торговля практически сошла на нет. Только благодаря стараниям местных жителей рынок удалось сохранить и превратить в популярное мероприятие. Лавки открыты с 8 утра до 15:00, но лучше прийти сюда как можно раньше, чтобы насладится пестрым разнообразием представленных здесь цветов, и тогда день пойдет совершенно иначе. Рынок Greenwich Market расположился на живописном берегу Темзы в небольшом, но уютном лондонском районе Гринвич. Это идеальное место для покупки поделок, предметов искусства и старины, украшений, а также для дегустации всевозможных деликатесов. На территории
91
рынка находится ряд бутиков, которые также способствуют развитию местного предпринимательства. Рынок можно посетить со вторника по воскресение с 10:00 до 17:00. Лондонский район Borough приютил один из старейших фермерских рынков города, чья история уходит своими корнями в 13 век. На Borough Market можно найти самые качественные артизанские продукты из самых разных уголков мира и Великобритании, например, сидр из Нью-Форест или сыр из Уэльса. Прямо здесь вы сможете сытно пообедать в одном из кафе или ресторанов или же если вы торопитесь, то взять еду с собой. Рынок открыт со среды по субботу, а если вы приедете раньше, то сможете успеть на бесплатную дегустацию, которая проводится у многих прилавков. Рынки Лондона необычайно разнообразны и насыщены, и каждый из них обладает своей неповторимой атмосферой. Если вы поклонник независимых магазинов и оригинальных товаров, тогда вас ждет много приятных сюрпризов и эмоций. portobelloroad.co.uk, bermondseysquare.net/ bermondsey-antiques-market, broadwaymarket.co.uk, netilmarket.tumblr.com, columbiaroad.info, greenwichmarketlondon.com, boroughmarket.org.uk

Трикотажный Бурлеск Дизайнер Маркус Люпфер покоряет модную индустрию превосходным чувством юмора. В интервью Салли Макилхоун он рассказывает о своих коллекциях и вдохновении Для поклонников моды немецкий дизайнер Маркус Люпфер в представлении не нуждается. Он превратил скучный, объемный трикотаж, который мы нехотя надеваем при первом похолодании, в яркую и веселую одежду. Благодаря своим джемперам с блестками в форме губ, животных и рожков с мороженым, он прославился на весь мир и не собирается останавливаться на достигнутом. В его коллекции осеньзима 2015/16 представлены
92
потрясающие мини-платья с гобеленовым принтом, юбки и куртки-бомберы, а также костюмы, обильно украшенные металлическими деталями. «В основу коллекции положена идея таинственного сада, – поясняет Люпфер. – Здесь и лесные жители, и садовые гномы, и запретный плод. Мы сосредоточили наше внимание на темной палитре и роскошных тканях». Слегка мрачные оттенки придают коллекции зрелости, разбавленной молодежными аксессуарами: шерстяными шляпами с кошачьими ушками, помпонами и ювелирными украшениями. Фаворитами коллекции дизайнер считает солнечные очки с цветочным принтом и «жаккардовую парку свободного покроя», которые смотрятся вместе «очень особенно». Своим интересом к проектированию одежды Люпфер обязан бабушке, которая «оказала значительное влияние и вдохновила вступить на тропу моды». «Она была очень элегантной женщиной. Ее сестра была швеей, и я каждый раз с большим удовольствием приходил к ней в гости». Люпфер с отличием окончил Вестминстерский университет Лондона по специальности дизайн одежды. Его выпускная коллекция была продана в престижном лондонском бутике Koh Samui, а спустя четыре года он получил премию New globalblue.com
Generation award от Британского совета моды (BFC). Серьезное влияние на творчество дизайнера оказали Германия и Великобритания, где он жил последнее время. Германии он благодарен за полученные технические навыки, а в Англии он нашел прочную основу для дизайнерского процесса. Фирменным почерком Люпфера считается узор в виде губ, появившийся из привычки дизайнера рисовать в конце своих писем «маленькие губы», означающие поцелуй. «Именно так появился узор “блестящие губы”», – поясняет Люпфер. Символ губ стал неотъемлемой частью эстетики дизайнера, которую он описывает, как «современную, удобную и немного забавную», а в своих поклонниках Люпфер видит «молодых, веселых искателей приключений с хорошим чувством юмора». Коллекции дизайнера невероятно точно передают энергию молодости и дух моды, а также свидетельствуют об отличном чувстве юмора автора. К примеру, его джемперы из коллекции весналето 2015 украшены надписями «Crush» и «Mermaid», и Люпфер считает, что эти вещи хоть и считаются «эксклюзивными и особенными, но при этом отлично подходят для повседневной носки». С виду забавные, но в то же время элегантные коллекции Люпфера привлекли немало

современных звезд. По словам дизайнера, актриса Бритт Робертсон «роскошно смотрелась» в одном из его нарядов, кроме того, среди других поклонников творчества дизайнера были замечены Бейонсе, Рианна и Мадонна. «Всегда приятно видеть людей в нашей одежде, особенно молодых и ярких талантов», – говорит он. Получив несколько наград и снискав популярность в рядах знаменитых личностей, Люпфер решительно
настроен помогать молодым дизайнерам, начинающим свою карьеру. Одним из своих больших достижений Люпфер считает «поддержку небольших групп дизайнеров в Эфиопии, разрабатывающих свои коллекции и только вступающих на путь индустрии моды». Работа по продвижению малоизвестных дизайнеров, по словам Люпфера, приносит «небывалое внутреннее удовлетворение». Не часто встретишь, чтобы признанный во всем мире дизайнер решил посвятить свое драгоценное время на обучение подрастающего поколения модельеров, особенно из менее состоятельных слоев общества. В этом проглядывается отличная черта характера дизайнера: к своей работе он подходит с большой долей юмора, но в то же время испытывает сострадание и желание помочь другим. Что касается настоящего момента, то его внимание сосредоточено на коллекциях очков и обуви для сезона весналето 2016: «Я жду не дождусь их выхода!» Как, впрочем, и мы с вами. markuslupfer.com 88: When You Shop The World, Shop Tax Free

46: Market Value 集市乐趣
从以古玩铺子著称的Portobello Road到遍布珍馐美味的Borough， 伦敦的集市绝对不容错过。Ginger Rose Clark报道 集市是都市生活的中心。日复一日、 周复一周，大小店面车马盈门，往来 如织；其中不少商家经营已达数百 年之久，同时也有新面孔不断涌现 出来。不论您是想在街头排挡吃一 顿简餐，还是想尽情赏玩专业古董 商的精选好货，这些集市都将给您 带来难忘的体验。它们还是城市中 不同邻里社区的真实写照，不论您 要去哪一个市场，都必将留下一段 值得回味的记忆。 很多人把Portobello Road视作 最典型的伦敦集市。该集市可谓名 扬四海，备受各路游客和当地居民 的青睐。和许多伦敦的古老集市一 样，Portobello Road早在19世纪就 已出现，不少商铺薪火相传，现已由 第三代经营者继往开来。集市上的 商品形形色色，品类繁多；其中最著 名的莫过于五花八门的古董、古装 和新潮时装，当然也不乏美味佳肴。 这里一周之中的大部分时间都有摊 贩经营，而每个周五和周六的8：00 至18：30则是整个市场全面开放营 业的时段。 Bermondsey古董集市同样专 营二手货品，但远不如Portobello Road集市那般人头攒动。这个讨人 喜欢的小集市位于伦敦南部，通常 于每周五的6：00至14：00点开市营 业。人们在这里漫无目的地倘佯着， 一边喃喃沉吟，一边浏览着摊铺上 的瓷器、维多利亚时代的画作和旧 书古籍。

设计师Markus Lupfer为时尚圈带 来人们喜闻乐见的诙谐。他与Sally McIlhone畅谈自己的最新系列与 灵感来源
54: Sparkle And Shine

璀璨夺目
globalblue.com
对时尚爱好者而言，德国设计师 Markus Lupfer无需赘言介绍。他一 手复兴了针织品，将其从人们在寒 冷天气穿着的笨重单调外套，改造 成趣味盎然的时尚基本款。他最出 名的作品是以亮片组合成嘴唇、动 物和冰淇淋等图案的毛衣，如今他 已经蜚声国际，并不断为自己的系列 注入更多出挑元素。 他的2015/16秋冬系列包括各种 令人惊艳的织锦印花迷你连衣裙、短 裙与短夹克，以及创意十足的剪裁 与金属色块。 “这个系列的灵感来源 是一座秘密花园， ”Lupfer解释道。 “ 里面住着林地居民、花园侏儒，还有 禁果生长。我们专门使用深色系与 华丽面料。”这些沉稳色调为系列平 添的成熟气质，被猫耳羊毛帽、绒线 球与珍珠等青春风装饰细节巧妙平 衡。当被问及最喜欢的秋冬季搭配 时，设计师着重介绍了雏菊印花墨 镜与“夸张提花大衣” ，这两者搭配起 来“真的很特别”。 Lupfer将自己对服装设计的热 情归功于他的外婆， “她对我影响深 远，激励我进入时尚圈打拼。” “她 是一名迷人的淑女。她的姐姐是裁 缝，所以去她的住所拜访总是让我 兴奋不已。”Lupfer后来决定在伦敦 威斯敏斯特大学学习时装设计，并 以一等荣誉学位毕业。他的毕业设计 在Koh Samui，这间伦敦最为人称 道的、出售新人设计师作品的店铺中 有售。仅仅过了四年，他便被英国时 装理事会授予New Generation“新 生代”大奖。曾在德国与英国居住过 的Lupfer，认为两个国家都帮助他塑 造出创意慧眼，德国磨练了他的专业 技能，英国则为他的设计流程打下

了坚实基础。 Lupfer设计中最知名的图案是 一对噘起的亮片嘴唇，灵感来源于 他喜欢在信件末尾画上“小小手绘嘴 唇”来代表亲吻的习惯。“这是亮片 嘴唇的原型，”Lupfer解释道。这个小 嘴唇也浓缩着Lupfer式美学，即“摩 登、耐穿与略略诙谐”，设计师认为自 己的顾客们是“年轻、快乐、寻求冒 险”与“有幽默感的”。 值得一提的是，Lupfer的针织 系列中同样洋溢着年轻、跃动的活 力与不少“女孩风”的幽默元素。例如 2015年春夏系列中的亮片毛衣，就 诉说着“暗恋”与“美人鱼“的故事，这 些单品都被Lupfer视作“匠心独具但 同样适合每天穿着的设计款”。 以耐穿、有趣又不失优雅的风 格获得市场青睐，Lupfer牢牢吸引 着名流的目光。他表示，女星Britt Robertson被目击身穿当季的某件作 品并“美若天仙”，Beyoncé、Rhianna 与Madonna也同样穿过他的设计作 品。“见到人们穿我们的衣服总是令 人无比兴奋，特别是那些年轻、激动 人心、才华出众的人物，”他表示。 即便屡获殊荣且作品被一线明 星争相穿着，Lupfer仍决心为那些 刚开始职业生涯的设计师们提供帮 助。Lupfer口中自己最值得骄傲的成 就，是“帮助一小群埃塞俄比亚设计 师开发他们的作品，并助他们步上职 业生涯。”帮助培养无名设计师的经 验被Lupfer形容为“真正有所值”。对 功成名就的国际知名设计师而言，从 繁忙日程表中抽出时间关心未来一 代并不常见，特别是那些出身并不起 眼的。这也侧面彰显出Lupfer的性 格：他可能热衷追逐趣味，但当牵涉 到设计时，他是极富同情心并积极回 报社会的。 不过目前而言，Lupfer的重心 是2016年春夏的太阳镜与鞋履系 列，他说：“这两个系列都让我心潮澎 globalblue.com
