NATURE’S TOUCH Crabtree & Evelyn has looked to Italy’s grand historic gardens to create this wonderfully foral scent. There are top notes of freesia – a member of the iris family which can be traced back to Italy – orange and pear, alongside base notes of rich amber and jasmine. The result is a fresh fragrance with touches of fruit, bringing to mind the wide variety of fowers and plants found in a classic garden. Save up to 14% by shopping tax free, see page 86
Not only is this scent perfect for the day or the night, the bottle and packaging are elegant and sophisticated. Established more than 40 years ago as a producer of fne soaps, Crabtree & Evelyn was inspired by John Evelyn, a pioneering 17th-century English conservationist. dw Crabtree & Evelyn Florentine Freesia Flower Water, 100ml, £45, Crabtree & Evelyn, 151 Regent Street, London W1B 4JD, +44 (0)20 7734 6043, crabtree-evelyn.co.uk FOR M A P GO TO PAGE 75

MY FAVOURITES: CHARLOTTE BEECHAM After studying at New York University, Charlotte Beecham spent a year in Paris, where she was inspired by French women’s efortless style and their ability to build an outft around a single accessory. She later set about looking at how she could reinvent the everyday scarf and established her own label, Charlotte Simone, in 2011. Her signature piece is the fur hood, a perfect winter accessory which combines a scarf and a hood. Here, Charlotte talks to Fani Mari about her favourite items for the season 1

Chic French menswear label Ami continues its international expansion with a new store on Duke Street. Previously an organic patisserie, the store has been transformed into an elegant space that refects the individual aesthetic of Ami’s founder and artistic director Alexandre Mattiussi. Exposed brick walls, brass, marble and wood give a distinctly masculine feel, while mirrors have been positioned throughout to create an optical illusion of endless space. Although Ami is distinctly Parisian, the brand has universal appeal and its signature style blends perfectly with the British feel of the building and its neighbourhood. This is an exciting addition to the already impressive menswear scene in London. hl Ami, 75 Duke Street, London W1K 5PA, +44 (0)20 7499 0290, amiparis.fr

Each retail space has its own identity, elaborated by Jonathan Tuckey Design. While the shop on Upper Street refers to its Victorian setting by incorporating elements inspired by the 19th century, the space on Monmouth Street plays with the idea of retail as theatre. Despite these being very diferent environments, they both succeed in immersing visitors in the Malin + Goetz brand. gc Malin + Goetz, 146 Upper Street, London N1 1QY, +44 (0)20 7424 5171; 6 Monmouth Street, London WC2H 9DA, +44 (0)20 7240 5476, malinandgoetz.com FOR M A P GO TO PAGE 79

After a thorough search, the label settled on a location on Berwick Street in Soho where it joins labels such as Oliver Spencer and Universal Works. For the interior design, Sandqvist turned to Fredrik Nilsby who has previously been responsible for designing its other stores and chose a combination of fr ply, concrete foors and marble. Customers can shop the full product range, including the Lightweight vegan series and the frst full collection for women. This is the place to go to for a minimalistic bag with a distinctly Nordic aesthetic. gc

SQUARE UP Military watches from the 19th century are the source of inspiration for Larsson & Jennings’ recently released Norse series. The watches in this collection all stand out for their square or rectangular cases which are complemented with a handmade leather strap. Available in two sizes, the larger model (£245) comes with an additional date function. The angular shape may well be a nod to the past, but it’s also an incredibly modern look for those who aren’t afraid to break with the norm. gc Save up to 14% by shopping tax free, see page 86

Danish-Irish jewellery designer Maria Black has looked to the traditions of piercing and has playfully updated these in a collection which has an original and contemporary aesthetic. In her Helix range, single pieces of jewellery look as if multiple piercings have been made or as though more than one item is being worn: the pictured Helix Trapez ring (£98) gives the impression of a number of stacked, tilted pieces on the wearer’s fnger. In addition to rings such as this, the collection spans a range of pieces from statement ear cufs to elegant chokers. A two-tone concept has also been introduced whereby silver and gold have been fashionably combined. gc Liberty, Regent Street, London W1B 5AH, +44 (0)20 7734 1234, maria-black.uk FOR M A P GO TO PAGE 75

Chanel, it is being reinvented under the creative directorship of model Stella Tennant (who is also a muse of Karl Lagerfeld, Chanel’s designer), and stylist and consultant Isabella Stanhope, who has worked at British Vogue. The two women have been friends for a number of years and are experts in British country life, both having homes in remote parts of Scotland. They are bringing their experience in fashion and their
instinctive style to Holland & Holland. Tennant and Stanhope have been working with experts in Scottish tweed mills, developing subtle fabrics for their silhouettes, which are inspired by menswear. ‘I feel most at home in the Scottish countryside,’ says Tennant, who credits her flair for style to her grandparents, the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire. ‘All the textures and colours we are working with come from nature,’ continues

The women’s ambition for Holland & Holland? ‘It should be fun wearing it. Otherwise what’s the point?’ Outerwear specialist Mackintosh delivers streamlined raincoats made with a trademarked rubberised fabric which chemist Charles Macintosh invented in 1823. The company has made sure that the silhouettes and colours of its coats shift with the times: cue a new white version with black buttons alongside a choice of bordeaux, camel and bottle green hues. The company has been
collaborating with fashion names, including young designer JW Anderson and the Parisian milliner Maison Michel, which helped the brand to create the chicest rain hats (which are sure to frequently come in handy given the inclement nature

of the British weather). Mackintosh is not the only heritage brand that is collaborating to keep its offerings fresh. Sunspel was founded in Nottingham in 1860; today it produces highquality sea-island cotton and fine jersey and the company’s store on Redchurch Street in the East End is the place where the capital’s hipsters buy their everyday staples, such as T-shirts and underwear. For autumn, it has joined up with Gloverall, a British company which has been making outerwear since the 1950s, to create a
no-nonsense duffle coat which works particularly well with traditional welted shoes from Church’s or Grenson. Far from being dated, these brands have adapted to retain lasting appeal by offering classic designs which have been updated with new ideas, while maintaining the quality expected of such companies. Pack these pieces into the suitcase made by Globe-Trotter (established in 1897) in collaboration with Alexander McQueen – and take a slice of British history home with you

With well over three centuries of hat-making history, Lock & Co is the oldest hat shop in the world – and one of the very best, writes Ruairidh Pritchard

his daughter Mary married his former apprentice, Charles Davis handed the keys to his business to James Lock, and the hat shop took the name it has today: Lock & Co. In the years that followed, Lock & Co became the hatter of choice for some of the most prominent members of British high society. Clients included 19th-century prime minister Lord Grenville and Admiral Lord Nelson, whose signature cocked hat and cockade, familiar from his portraits, was created in the shop. The store and the family that ran it became well-known; James Benning, an eccentric member of the Lock family, is said to have inspired the Mad Hatter character in Alice’s

ome notable British establishments are found on and around St James’s Street in London’s West End, from royal residence St James’s Palace to some of the capital’s finest restaurants. Among these prestigious names is Lock & Co, the oldest hat shop in the world; this London legend celebrates 340 years of business in 2016. In 1676, hatter Robert Davis opened a shop on the newly fashionable St James’s Street. Ten years later, in 1686, George Lock opened a coffee house on the same street. In 1747, James Lock – the grandson of George Lock – became apprenticed to Charles Davis, the son of Robert Davis. In 1765, when

Adventures in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll’s famous children’s book. Today, Lock & Co holds two royal warrants – one from the Prince of Wales and another from his father, the Duke of Edinburgh – and created many of the hats worn to the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Ruth Ravenscroft, the brand’s creative director, sees the company’s enduring success as a result of remaining true to its founding principles. ‘We believe in superior customer service and using the finest materials to produce the best styles,’ she says. Lock & Co’s customers are loyal and know they can depend on the team to provide
exactly what they need for the most important occasions. ‘Before the busy Ascot season some clients send images of their summer wardrobe,’ explains Ravenscroft. ‘We are able to advise them and have their hats ready when they arrive for the season.’ Lock & Co is proudly traditional in many ways, but it is also one of London’s most respected purveyors of contemporary millinery. ‘We continue to use traditional millinery techniques but are always experimenting with new materials and shapes,’ says Ravenscroft. ‘We have several new blocks made every season and often take inspiration from the runway for the season’s

Lock & Co, while proudly traditional in many ways, is also a respected purveyor of contemporary hats lead colours. Each season we create a capsule collection of more extreme and fashion-forward pieces as well as translating the current season’s colours and feel into our more classic styles.’ The team has also collaborated with some of London’s leading fashion names, including Vivienne Westwood, Private White VC and Mr Porter. This not only widens Lock & Co’s appeal, but also brings exciting new challenges. ‘Partnering with likeminded brands allows us to access different demographics and really have fun with the hat designs,’ explains Ravenscroft. ‘We have an exciting collaboration coming up with Johnstons of Elgin,
the world’s finest and oldest cashmere maker, on a capsule collection of men’s beanies. We’re really excited about this collaboration because there is fantastic synergy between our two brands, as well as being royal warrant holders and family-owned businesses.’ However, it is one of Lock & Co’s oldest creations that remains its most popular – the Coke (pronounced ‘cook’). In 1849, the nobleman Edward Coke approached Lock & Co’s chief hatmaker Thomas Bowler for a new hat. He wanted a design that would improve upon the traditional top hat, which kept falling off his gamekeepers’ heads while they were working on his

Norfolk estate. The result, the oval, durable Coke, is better known as the bowler, and to this day it is one of the most recognisable hat styles. The practicality of the new wind resistant, hardwearing design meant that it found popularity beyond the English countryside. It was worn by British railway workers in western America, and was adopted by Wild West outlaws, South American women, and stars of the silver screen, including silent film icon Charlie Chaplin, Patrick Macnee of The Avengers and Monty Python’s John Cleese. The Lock & Co creation was cemented as a
masterpiece of design. The Coke, says Ravenscroft, is still one of Lock & Co’s best-selling designs. ‘We continue to sell bowlers to city workers, those who wear it as part of their uniform, like county show judges and the army, Nigerian customers who see the hat as a status symbol, film companies and a wide array of international tourists who are keen to own a piece of Lock history.’ Whether the Coke is your style or you’re looking for something truly modern, when it comes to headgear, 340 years as a leader in the field make a hat from Lock & Co an impeccable choice

ON THE RISE Artisan bakeries serving delicious bread, rolls and sweet goods using traditional methods are well worth seeking out. Mónica R Goya visits a selection of the leading places
Bread is a staple food around the world and evidence shows that humans were processing and eating wild grains 23,000 years ago. In recent decades, mass-produced bread has resulted in low-quality loaves for consumers in many countries, but in the UK a new generation of artisan bakers is determined to reinstate bread as it used to be made. Visitors to London globalblue.com
have a wide range of outstanding bakeries to choose from, where the focus is on top-class ingredients – sometimes organic – and traditional methods such as the use of sourdough and stone ovens. Some of these small-scale bakeries also have a café area where visitors can sit and enjoy freshly made bread, rolls and pastries in a welcoming atmosphere.

Part of the acclaimed St John restaurant group, this bakery is only open to the public at the weekend. The key element to St John breads is time: the slow fermentation process means that the dough is proved for 40 hours so that that each loaf is packed with favour; it also results in bread which has a long shelf life and keeps moist for several days. The ofer includes brown, white and 100% rye sourdoughs; white, brown and light rye loaves; raisin loaves and soda bread. Be sure to pick up some doughnuts while you’re here. St John Bakery is located behind Maltby Street market, just a short walking distance from London Bridge station.

Having originally opened in Stockholm, Swedish bakery Fabrique established its frst venue outside of its home country in Hoxton in 2012. Sourdough bread, including Nordic rye loaves, is made here using traditional methods and baked in a stone oven, and the open space allows visitors to see the bakers in action. Sandwiches are a favourite among locals visiting Fabrique’s café and pastries are also available: we recommend trying a cinnamon or cardamom bun. The concept is so popular that branches have also opened in Covent Garden and Notting Hill. Fabrique, Arch 385, Gefrye Street, London E2 8HZ, +44 (0)20 7033 0268, fabrique.co.uk

E5 BAKEHOUSE Former environmental consultant Ben Mackinnon set up E5 Bakehouse, tucked away under the railway arches in London Fields, as a place which focuses on making organic bread using UK ingredients: in fact, the emphasis on being local is so strong that the four is milled in the arch next door. Spelt, multigrain and rye breads are all made here, and the globalblue.com
bestselling loaf is the Hackney Wild, made with a blend of heritage and modern wheat grains. Take time to enjoy the baked delights in E5 Bakehouse’s café, including flled baguettes, toast and open sandwiches, where the smell of freshly baked bread adds to the relaxed atmosphere.

РУССКИЙ ПЕРЕВОД 42: Past & Present
Прошлое и настоящее Британские бренды с большой историей переосмысляют свои классические коллекции в духе времени, благодаря чему остаются актуальными в глазах новых покупателей, – рассказывает Харриет Куик Во всем мире бренды появляются и исчезают. На этом фоне Великобритания может похвастаться внушительным количеством компаний-долгожителей, которые специализируются на одежде и аксессуарах. Они придерживаются традиционных ценностей и одновременно globalblue.com
предлагают покупателям вещи в духе времени. Им удается находить свое место в любой исторической эпохе, а некоторые даже привлекают иностранные инвестиции. Но на протяжении всей истории они остаются верными чисто британскому подходу к моде. Holland & Holland – один из таких брендов: он занимается аксессуарами для жизни за городом с 1835 года и продолжает удерживать ведущие позиции. Делами компании управляет Chanel, а обновлением руководят креативный директор Стелла Теннант (муза Карла Лагерфельда, дизайнера Chanel) и стилист и консультант Изабелла Стенхоуп (прежде она работала в британском Vogue). Они дружат уже много лет и

прекрасно ориентируются в британской загородной жизни, поскольку их дома расположены в дальних землях Шотландии. Свой опыт в моде и врожденное чувство стиля они и привносят в Holland & Holland. Тонкие качественные ткани для их моделей, на которое повлияла мужская одежда, производятся на шотландских твидовых фабриках: «Я чувствую себя как дома в шотландских деревнях. Все эти текстуры и цвета, с которыми мы работаем, заимствованы из природы», – размышляет Стелла Теннант. Она подчеркивает, что все вещи в их коллекции практичны и красивы, а за свое интуитивное чувство вкуса она благодарит бабушку и дедушку – герцога и герцогиню Девонширских. Теннант и Стенхоуп – любительницы путешествий и пеших прогулок. И они сделали страсть к приключениям основой обновленной эстетики Holland & Holland. Коллекция адресована женщинам и мужчинам в равной степени и состоит из функциональных и одновременно красивых вещей: однобортные пиджаки, жилеты с карманами и высокими воротниками, килты, гернсийские свитеры, брюки с завышенной талией, кюлоты и свободные брюки для гольфа. Коллекцию дополняет обувь: прочные кожаные туфли для прогулок (их язычки подворачиваются таким образом, чтобы уберечь от грязи globalblue.com
шнурки), ботинки для походов и твидовые кроссовки в стиле скейтеров. Изабелла Стенхоуп признается, что для нее работа над коллекцией стала «большим делом», а также подчеркивает богатый опыт Стеллы Теннант: «Стелла – превосходный колорист, и она обладает глубокими познаниями в моде». На вопрос об их целях для Holland & Holland они отвечают так: «Должно быть интересно носить эти вещи. Иначе какой в этом смысл?» Бренд верхней одежды Mackintosh специализируется на качественных плащах из фирменной прорезиненной ткани, которую в 1823 году изобрел химик Чарльз Макинтош. Компания внимательно следит за тем, чтобы силуэты и цвета плащей менялись в ногу со временем: обратите внимание на новую белую модель с черными пуговицами, а также на винный, верблюжий и бутылочнозеленый оттенки классических моделей. Mackintosh сотрудничает с ведущими представителями модного мира, в том числе – с молодым дизайнером Джонатаном Уильямом Андерсоном (JW Anderson). А парижский бренд головных уборов Maison Michel помог Mackintosh создать элегантные шляпы, защищающие от дождя, – и это как нельзя кстати в условиях британского климата.
89
Другие бренды также охотно участвуют в совместных проектах, чтобы сохранять актуальность своих идей и предложений. Один из них – Sunspel, основанный в Ноттингеме в 1860 году. В наши дни компания работает с самым качественным барбадосским хлопком и чистым джерси, поэтому в магазин бренда на Redchurch Street в Ист-Энде стекаются сведущие в моде лондонцы (и мужчины, и женщины) за повседневными базовыми вещами, в том числе футболками и нижним бельем. В рамках осенней коллекции Sunspel поработал с британской компанией Gloverall, которая с 1950-х специализируется на верхней одежде. Плодом
их совместного труда стало деловое пальто-даффл, которое особенно хорошо смотрится с классическими прошитыми ботинками Church’s или Grenson. Эти бренды невозможно назвать устаревшими. Наоборот, они столь же востребованы, поскольку подают свои классические модели в современном ключе и при этом сохраняют высокий уровень качества, какой можно ожидать только от компаний с подобной историей и статусом. Сложите свои приобретения в черный чемодан с клепками, плод совместного творчества брендов Globe-Trotter (основан в 1897) и Alexander McQueen, – и заберите с собой частичку истинно британской истории.

Модный шляпочник Магазин головных уборов Lock & Co, открытый более трехсот лет назад, является старейшим в мире и одним из самых лучших, – рассказывает Руайрид Притчард В лондонском Вест-Энде и особенно в районе улицы Сент-Джеймс-стрит (St James’s Street) расположился ряд наиболее респектабельных британских учреждений, от королевской резиденции – Сент-Джеймсского дворца – до лучших в столице ресторанов. Именно здесь находится и самый старинный в мире магазин шляп; в 2016 году эта лондонская легенда празднует свой 340-летний юбилей. В 1676 году шляпных дел мастер Роберт Дэвис открыл магазин на только начавшей набирать популярность СентДжеймс-стрит. Девять лет спустя, в 1686 году, Джордж Лок открыл на той же самой улице кафе. В 1747 году Джеймс Лок, внук Джорджа Лока, устроился подмастерьем к Чарльзу Дэвису, сыну Роберта Дэвиса. В 1765, когда его дочь Мэри вышла замуж за бывшего подмастерье, Чарльз Дэвис передал управление делами Джеймсу Локу, так магазин получил свое нынешнее название: Lock & Co. В последующие годы магазин Lock & Co стал избранным магазином globalblue.com
для сливок британского общества. Среди его клиентов был 19-й премьер-министр Великобритании Уильям Гренвиль и адмирал лорд Нельсон, чья фирменная треуголка с кокардой, известная нам по портретам, была создана именно здесь. Магазин и его хозяева получили большую славу; говорят, что Джеймс Беннинг, эксцентричный член семейства Лок, послужил прототипом Безумного Шляпника из знаменитой книги Льюиса Кэролла «Алиса в стране чудес». На сегодняшний день Lock & Co является обладателем двух королевских патентов, на право

именоваться поставщиком членов королевской семьи, одного от принца Уэльского и второго – от его отца, герцога Эдинбургского. Множество заказов магазин выполнил для торжественной свадьбы герцога и герцогини Кембриджских. Рут Рэйвенскрофт, креативный директор бренда, причиной успеха компании считает преданность корпоративным принципам. «Мы гарантируем первоклассное обслуживание и всегда используем лучшие материалы для создания поистине стильных вещей», – говорит она. Lock & Co гордится своими преданными клиентами, которые могут доверить компании создание предметов для самых важных событий. «Перед началом королевских скачек в Аскоте некоторые клиенты присылают фотографии своих летних гардеробов, – поясняет Рэйвенскрофт. – Мы можем дать им надлежащий совет и подготовить их шляпы к началу мероприятия». Помимо своих традиционных изделий, компания Lock & Co знаменита на весь Лондон своими современными женскими шляпами. «Мы продолжаем использовать традиционные техники производства, но всегда экспериментируем с новыми материалами и формами, – говорит Рэйвенскрофт. – Каждый сезон у нас появляется несколько globalblue.com
новых серий, а модные показы служат для нас источником вдохновения и помогают определиться с актуальной цветовой палитрой. С каждым сезоном мы выпускаем новую капсульную коллекцию, где представляем более авангардные вещи, а также интерпретируем трендовые цвета для наших классических образов. Компания также проводила ряд коллабораций с ведущими лондонскими брендами, включая Vivienne Westwood, Private White VC и Mr Porter. Такая деятельность не только сделала марку Lock & Co более привлекательной, но и поставила перед ней новые задачи. «Сотрудничество с близкими по духу брендами позволяет нам значительно расширить аудиторию, ну и, конечно, приносит массу удовольствия при разработке нового дизайна, – поясняет Рэйвенскрофт. – Скоро у нас состоится очередная совместная работа над капсульной коллекцией мужских вязанных шапок с Johnstons of Elgin – одним из лучших и старейших производителей кашемира. Мы очень рады этой коллаборации, поскольку наши бренды связывает много общего, в том числе королевские патенты и семейный тип бизнеса».

качестве униформы, например, официальным работникам сельских ярмарок и военным, а также покупателям из Нигера, для которых котелок – это символ статуса, съемочным компаниям и туристам из самых разных стран мира». Независимо от того, какие шляпы вы предпочитаете, будь-то котелок или нечто современное, в коллекциях Lock & Co каждый найдет что-то по вкусу, а 340-летняя история бренда гарантирует, что ваша покупка будет безупречной.

пользуется одно из самых старейших изделий компании, а именно шляпа Coke. В 1849 году аристократ Эдвард Кук обратился к главному дизайнеру Lock & Co, Томасу Боулеру, с просьбой создать для него шляпу. Проблема была в том, что обычный цилиндр был довольно неустойчивым и часто падал с головы, поэтому главной задачей было усовершенствовать дизайн. Именно так появился на свет один из самых узнаваемых стилей – овальная шляпакотелок. В английском языке такой вид шляпы стали называть по имени ее создателя – «bowler». Практичность нового ветроустойчивого и прочного дизайна обеспечила новой модели популярность далеко за пределами английских деревень. Котелок можно было заметить у работников Британской железной дороги на западе Америки, и у ковбоев Дикого Запада, и у женщин Южной Америки, а также у многих звезд кинематографии, включая Чарли Чаплина, Патрика Макни из Мстителей и Джона Маклиза из Монти Пайтон. Творение Lock & Co вошло в историю, как шедевр дизайна. По словам Рэйвенскрофт, котелок до сих пор остается главным бестселлером в Lock & Co. «Мы продолжаем продавать котелки местным, которые должны носить их в
