SEA OF GOLD The aptly named Mer d’Or (gold sea) gold and silver mules by British footwear designer Camilla Elphick tick all the boxes this season. Metallics look great with an all-black outfit and gold also works particularly well with warm hues such as red or orange. These shoes are certainly guaranteed to turn heads. Beaded fish lend a quirky touch, without going over the top. The inspiration for Feast for Feet, the designer’s autumn/winter 2017/18 collection, comes from the surrealist work of Salvador Dalí and features velvet, Save up to 14% by shopping tax free, see page 70

STYLE NOTES

MUSICALLY MINDED London-based, Paris-inspired ready-to-wear label Être Cécile takes inspiration from the underground music scene of the 1980s for its latest collection. The brand is known for its sense of cool, so the new-wave rockers of this on-trend decade seem a perfect crowd from which to draw influence. Statement T-shirts and slogan sweaters are made to be dressed up or down, looking equally as stylish with sweatpants as they do with a sleek pencil skirt. Red, white and blue feature heavily – a nod to the French flag – and the whole collection is designed to be mixed and matched in myriad combinations. hl Paper Mache Tiger, 26 Cross Street, London N1 2BG, +44 (0)20 7729 9620, etrececile.com globalblue.com

THE RISE OF THE FLAT Comfortable and practical, yet as glamorous as heels, flats are reaching new heights of style, as Sally McIlhone discovers

Above: Russell & Bromley autumn/winter 2017/18

hether it’s a limitededition sneaker, a pool slide or a slipper-style mule, the flat shoe has dominated the catwalks for the past few years. With a move towards more wearable outfits in the real world, women are casting aside skyscraper heels in favour of glamorous flat options which are no less feminine but far more comfortable. London’s footwear designers are pioneers in the field of flat styles, creating chic yet practical options from loafers to whimsical ballet pumps that continue to captivate fashion fans.

Charlotte Olympia Dellal, founder of the Charlotte Olympia brand, has been creating covetable footwear since 2008. The designer is best known for her signature Kitty flats, an endearing twist on the ballet slipper with an embroidered cat’s face and pointy ears. The Kitty is now available in a range of colours and styles, including backless slippers, pool slides and espadrilles in every design from leopard print to the

British flag; it’s hard to believe these ultra-modern shoes were inspired by Agatha Christie’s novel Cat Among The Pigeons, published in 1959. The Kitty slippers first appeared in the 2011 To Die For range, and Dellal was initially surprised at the motif’s success. ‘It was never intended to be what it became,’ she told Luxury London; however, this seasonal favourite remains as popular as ever and is now part of the Encore collection. If there is one item from Charlotte Olympia’s charming range to get your claws into, the Kitty is it. For those who prefer a bespoke edge to their fabulous flats, Nicholas Kirkwood has the answer. The brand’s Beya style has been spotted on a host of celebrities, including supermodel Gigi Hadid, and Kirkwood recently launched a customisation service on his website that allows customers to create their

own Beya loafer or mule. Russell & Bromley is a British brand with a New Bond Street flagship and a storied history that is reflected in its current ranges of luxury footwear. Heritage styles such as the brand’s loafers are the perfect way to smarten up a cropped trouser suit or lend a touch of boyish charm to a midiskirt and cashmere jumper combination. In recent seasons, the brand’s flats have been flying off the shelves. ‘We’re seeing a real move towards lower midi heels and flats and away from the higher heels which used to dominate fashion trends,’ says Stefanie Hutton, the brand’s head of PR. ‘The sports trend has really influenced women’s choice of footwear so we naturally saw that women were seeking comfort

and fashion in one shoe.’ For autumn/winter 2017/18 this commitment to combining comfort with fashion translates into wine-coloured ballet pumps with velvet ribbons, red slippers embroidered with a pink and gold floral design, flatform trainers, chunky black ankle boots with a spray of gemstones at the toe and, of course, tasselled and horse-bit loafers in a range of colours and styles. ‘Our heritage is in mannish loafers and heritage style has come full circle to be fashionable and on-trend currently,’ explains Hutton. ‘We update in seasonal colours and experiment with new textures, but, ultimately, keep it simple.’ To this end, Russell & Bromley has even revived archived styles. ‘Very positively, we have brought back our classic Brewster snaffle loafer due to popular demand,’ notes Hutton. Rebecca Farrar-Hockley, creative director of Kurt Geiger, believes the popularity of the flat lies in its ability to be worn every day. ‘Flats have become huge over the last few seasons and have become a daily staple to suit

The trend for flats is showing no sign of abating – and our feet are grateful

everyday style.’ Farrar-Hockley highlights the brand’s backless slippers as one of the most popular styles for spring/summer 2017, and this is set to continue. For the coming season, she says, ‘many of our flats are elevated with embellishments taking you from everyday style to eveningwear.’ From the velvet Kingly Mary Jane-style flat with embellished globalblue.com

strap to the Carvela black and gold Lounge slipper, there are plenty of styles to take you from meeting to dinner party and beyond. Kurt Geiger’s secret is to encourage designers to create footwear with a personal touch. ‘A large majority of product designed [here] is formed around the team’s desire to create footwear that they would wear themselves,’ FarrarHockley explains. A switched-on design team who have an eye for taste and trends means the latest Kurt Geiger range contains winning flat styles, whether you’re looking for trainers, slippers or loafers. ‘Many of our sell-out flat styles – such as the Lamar trainer and KG’s Otter backless mule – have been repeated for the forthcoming season, demonstrating that our seasonal hero styles retain their appeal,’ says Farrar-Hockley. With so many styles returning for the autumn/winter season, the trend for flats is showing no sign of abating. Our feet are grateful for the elegance as well as the comfort factor

Londonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creative perfumers are taking niche to the next level. Joanna McGinn highlights some of the best

erfume is having a moment. There’s a whiff of change in the air and it has nothing to do with your mother’s old favourites. After years of super-brand domination, the perfume landscape has shifted, and a new band of scent rebels is challenging the status quo. The revolution began some 20 years ago, when Parisian fragrance guru Frédéric Malle launched his Editions de Parfums, selecting ‘super-noses’ to create perfumes under their own names and thus turning the spotlight back onto the scent rather than the marketing circus that surrounds big labels. Yet it is only recently that the trend has exploded. Leading the charge are bottled-in-London brands such as Perfumer H and 4160 Tuesdays, renegade scents such as mushroom and hot sand, and a summer 2017 exhibition at Somerset House

dedicated to all things olfactory. Niche brands made up nearly half of 2016’s 2,000 new perfume launches, reports Premium Beauty News, fuelled by the long-tail effect of internet sales. But with all this creativity, there’s a danger of niche fatigue setting in, as consumers become overwhelmed by choice. A handful of London-based fragrance specialists are responding – not only by shifting our notions of scent but also the way we consume it. One such perfume provocateur is fragrance specialist and scent forecaster Emmanuelle Moeglin, who launched the Experimental Perfume Club in 2015 with the aim of reconnecting people with their sense of smell and demystifying the perfume-making process. ‘People in cities are already bored of niche brands – they are looking for the next level,’ she says. ‘They want to

peek behind the scenes. It’s as much about the experience as it is about creating something bespoke or unique.’ The keen-nosed and curious should visit Moeglin’s ‘micro-lab’, hidden on a back street behind hipster hotspot Broadway Market. The space is a world away from the perfumeries of west London; Moeglin describes it as ‘an open-access perfume lab – dedicated to the juice.’ Attend a workshop to learn how to create a unique perfume, have a bespoke consultation to bottle a favourite smell, or simply turn up to the twice-monthly open-lab sessions and ‘play’ without boundaries. ‘Some of the most interesting scents develop when people experiment and you get offbeat flavours like Thai basil curry,’ enthuses Moeglin. Her business model, she

says, has always been ‘a community of creators. People come back to learn more, they stay in touch.’ She’s built up such a following that the business is now being crowd-funded – in contrast to the more usual corporate mould. ‘It’s grown organically and I want to keep it that way,’ says Moeglin firmly. Keren Bester, another east London perfumer, runs the Chemical Poetry Club, a subscription service that delivers three samples from a different artisanal producer every month. Bester sifts through the plethora of indies to select the truly innovative, seeking, she says, ‘polarising brands’ that aren’t shy about provoking a response. The idea, she explains, is to ‘help showcase some of the extraordinary creativity of the independent perfumers and encourage online discussion to create a perfume appreciation club. If we can all imagine the soundtrack to our lives, should we not be

actively building our scent tracks? That’s what I want to do with Chemical Poetry Club.’ Bester agrees that customer demands are changing. ‘I think the growing desire people have for uniqueness is also a desire for something more authentic. There’s a growing connoisseurship movement. Coffee, gin, wine, chocolate… why not perfume, too?’ she asks. ‘We’ll help our customers to educate their nose and discern what they like and don’t like, and why.’ Her mission is to elevate perfume to an art form. ‘If

From the ultraluxurious to the more affordable, personalised perfume is here to stay you break it down, perfume is a chemical poem,’ she says. ‘The idea is to build a community who can contribute to that poetry by sampling some of the most provocative and divine chemistry out there.’

The heritage brands are upping their game too, looking for new ways to satisfy the growing demand for uniqueness. Mayfair perfumer Creed now offers a monogramming service; customers can sip champagne while their perfume bottle is engraved. Quintessentially British house Penhaligon’s has just launched its super-luxe Bespoke by Alberto Morillas concept. For a cool £35,000, the world-renowned nose will create a one-of-a-kind scent presented in a hand-customised bottle: an intensely individual process that takes months. From the ultra-luxurious to the more affordable, personalised perfume is here to stay

TABLE TALK A Sunday roast is a British classic – and a must-try in the colder months, says Hannah Lewis

The British roast dinner, also called a Sunday roast, after the day it is most typically served, is a national institution. Consisting of roast meat, potatoes, seasonal vegetables and gravy, this classic dish is so popular that it came second in a national poll of the things that make Britons proud to be British. Like the the bacon sandwich or ‘butty’, and the iconic cup of tea or ‘cuppa’ – which came first and third respectively in the poll – it’s a classic that no one should visit London without sampling. On Sundays in the city, most pubs serving food will offer their own interpretation of a roast dinner, and increasing numbers of the most stylish and innovative restaurants are doing the same. Proving the versatility of the Sunday roast, the capital’s chefs are playing with different meats and side dishes, and adding new flavours and ingredients. Whether you pick a down-to-earth pub or a sophisticated restaurant, be sure to take friends. A roast is a social meal, made to be shared in cosy surroundings. globalblue.com

OXBO BANKSIDE Executive chef Paul Bates aims to raise British dishes to the next level with his menu at Oxbo Bankside, and the Sunday roast is no different. The three-course meal begins with an all-you-caneat buffet of starters, which might include potted crab and shrimp, or Iberico chorizo, sourced from a local specialist. The main roasts change weekly, depending on the best seasonal produce. Recent offerings include sirloin of Gloucestershire beef and cornfed chicken. Vegetarians will also find tasty options here. Expect all the trimmings, perfectly suited to the joint of meat, from potatoes roasted in duck fat to excellent Yorkshire puddings. Finish the meal by choosing from a selection of unlimited desserts and a wellstocked cheese board. For a celebratory touch, order the bottomless drinks option, which offers free-flowing prosecco throughout.

SOUTH PLACE CHOP HOUSE Located in the stylish South Place Hotel, the Chop House is a very modern venue, yet its Sunday dinner options would please the most traditional of roast lovers.

The Sunday roast menu at Ceviche Old St has a distinctive Peruvian twist. Served all day, the menu offers pollo a la Brasa, a Peruvian favourite of marinated rotisserie chicken, and seco de berenjena, a vegetarian dish of braised aubergine. From Monday to Saturday, there is a roast of the day, which might be rolled pork shoulder with panca chilli and coriander, or charcoal-grilled sirloin marinated with panca, cumin and garlic. Peruvianinspired side dishes, such as spicy tamales and broccoli in a cheesy chilli sauce, accompany the meats. For drinks, take a look at the house cocktails. Cevicheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spicy take on the Bloody Mary is a standout. Ceviche Old St, 2 Baldwin Street, London EC1V 9NU, +44 (0)20 3327 9463, cevicheuk.com/oldst

The Pig & Butcher is a countrystyle pub at the heart of Angel in the London borough of Islington. It specialises in high-quality meat, especially pork, sourced from independent farms in the UK, and the Sunday roast menu is no different. Joints on offer change frequently, depending on availability. They might include individual portions of roasted leg of salt-marsh lamb, or roasted dry-aged Hereford sirloin, or sharing plates of chicken crown or pork chops. Classic British side dishes include fluffy Yorkshire puddings, crisp roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables and rich gravy. The drinks list is equally wellconsidered, with wines from small, family-owned vineyards, and a wide variety of British craft beers.

Founded by husband-and-wife team Terry Blake and Yohini Nandakumar, Sparrow offers a regularly changing menu that makes the most of seasonal produce and deliciously exploits the small plates concept. With experience at London restaurants Pollen Street Social and St John, there is no doubting the founders’ credentials. Diners can share options such as bruschettas of mushroom and butternut squash or broccoli and coconut salad, followed by heartier dishes of duck with chilli jam or pork belly with harissa. The chocolate and caramel tart is a delightful way to finish a meal. Sparrow, 2 Rennell Street, London SE13 7HD, +44 (0)20 8318 6941, sparrowlondon.co.uk

36: The Rise Of The Flat 平底鞋的兴起既舒适又实用，更和高跟鞋一样充满魅力 — — 平底鞋引领时尚新潮流，Sally McIlhone带您深入了解无论是限量版运动鞋、凉鞋还是拖鞋，在过去的几年中，平底鞋称霸了各大秀场。如今人们在日常生活中愈发青睐更舒适耐穿的服装，女性亦将 “恨天高 ” 抛之脑后，转而选择优雅迷人的平底鞋 — — 婉约气质有增无减，而且舒适度大大增加。伦敦的鞋履设计师是平底鞋领域的先行者，从乐福鞋到设计奇异的芭蕾便鞋，他们创造了许多别致而不失实用性的款式，吸引着无数时尚达人的目光。从 2008年开始，Charlotte Olympia的创始人Charlotte Olympia Dellal创作了许多令人垂涎的人气鞋履。这位设计师以标志性的猫咪鞋 ( Kitty)而闻名，芭蕾平底鞋的脚尖部位别出心裁地绣上了猫脸和尖尖的耳朵，平添一份俏皮可爱。猫咪鞋有多种颜色和款式，包括无后跟拖鞋、凉鞋和帆布便鞋，图案背景从豹纹印花到米字旗多种多样。令人难以想象的是，如此时尚前卫的鞋子，灵感竟然来源于阿加莎 •克里斯蒂于 1959年出版的小说《鸽群中的猫》。猫咪拖鞋在 2011年的 To Die For系列中初次亮相，这个主题的大获成功令 Dellal倍感惊喜。“ 我们完全没有料到它会如此受欢迎。”她在 Luxury London的采访中这样说道；如今，猫咪鞋风头不减，已然成为 Encore 系列的一部分。如果要从Charlotte Olympia的缤纷作品中选出一个必

买款式，那么非猫咪鞋莫属。对平底鞋有定制要求的顾客不妨选择 Nicholas Kirkwood。品牌旗下的 Beya平底鞋备受名流的青睐，超模 Gigi Hadid亦是其拥趸。近期，Kirkwood在官网上推出了个性化服务，顾客可以定制自己的 Beya乐福鞋或拖鞋。英国品牌 Russell & Bromley在新邦德街（ New Bond Street）拥有一家旗舰店，店内各色奢华鞋履令人目不暇接，更展现了品牌悠久的历史底蕴。乐福鞋等经典款式与七分西装裤搭配，可完美塑造潇洒干练的形象；与中裙和开司米套衫组合，则更显帅气迷人。最近几个季度，该品牌的平底鞋非常畅销，供不应求。“ 我们注意到，以往主导时尚潮流的高跟鞋逐渐退居幕后，而中低跟和平底鞋则越来越流行。”品牌的公关总监 Stefanie Hutton表示，“运动潮流极大地影响了女性对鞋履的选择，因此我们不难看到她们更倾向于兼顾舒适脚感和时尚造型的鞋子。”

2017/ 18年秋冬系列完美诠释了舒适和时尚的结合，饰有绒带的酒红色芭蕾平底鞋、绣有粉色与金色花朵的红色拖鞋、平跟运动鞋和脚尖撒有宝石的黑色厚重短靴华丽亮相，当然也少不了饰有流苏与马衔扣的乐福鞋，各种颜色和设计风格供人挑选。“我们的经典款式是中性乐福鞋，兜兜转转一个轮回，它如今又重新流行了起来。” Hutton解释道，“ 我们换上了当季的流行色彩，试验了织锦和镶缀等新面料，与此同时保持了简约之美。”为了追求简约，Russell & Bromley甚至还让古董级款式焕发新生。“由于需求高涨，我们重新推出了经典的 Brewster马衔扣乐福鞋，反响非常好。” Hutton说道。 Kurt Geiger创意总监 Rebecca Farrar- Hockley认为，平底鞋之所以畅销，是因为适合日常穿着。“过去几个季度，平底鞋人气爆棚，摇身变成日常必备单品，可随性搭配平日着装。” Farrar- Hockley特别指出，品牌的 “无后跟拖鞋 ”是 2017春夏季人气

globalblue.cn

款式之一。这股潮流还将继续，而至于新一季，她表示：“ 我们为多款平底鞋加上了一些点缀，从日常穿搭到晚宴装扮均可应对自如。”从饰有精美绑带的天鹅绒 Kingly玛丽珍平底鞋，到 Carvela黑金休闲拖，丰富款式助您轻松应对会议、晚宴等多种场合。 Kurt Geiger的秘诀在于，鼓励设计师创作具有个人风格的鞋履。“［我们］设计的大多数作品源于团队成员为自己创作鞋子的意愿。” FarrarHockley解释道。得益于品味出众、紧跟潮流的设计团队，Kurt Geiger 的最新系列不乏令人一见倾心的平底鞋款式，运动鞋、拖鞋、乐福鞋一应俱全。“ 我们的许多脱销平底鞋款式 — —如 Lamar运动鞋和 KG水獭无后跟拖鞋 — — 在未来季度中还将反复出现，充分展现了热销款式的无限魅力。” Farrar- Hockley表示。秋冬季来临，各路风格也卷土重来，但平底鞋的风头却有增无减。我们的双脚应该为了这份优雅和舒适道声感谢。

42: The Future Of Fragrance 香氛的未来创意卓绝的伦敦调香师引领前所未有的小众风潮，Joanna McGinn为您聚焦个中翘楚如日中天的香氛界正在经历着大变动，而这一切和香奈儿 5号没有任何关系。在超级品牌称霸多年之后，香氛界的格局已悄然改变，一批后起之秀异军突起，挑战业界权威。这场变革要从 20年前说起。当时，出身巴黎的香氛大师 Frédéric Malle推出了 Editions de Parfums，挑选嗅觉一流的闻香师以他们自己的名义创作香氛，从而让人们关注的焦点重回香氛本身，而不是被大品牌

的高调营销抢去风头。然而，直到近年，这一理念才真正大行其道。这股潮流的最前沿有 Perfumer H和 4160 Tuesdays等在伦敦生产的品牌，有蘑菇和热砂等怪诞香味，还有 2017 年夏季在萨默塞特宫（ Somerset House ）举办的嗅觉主题展览。根据 Premium Beauty News（前沿美容播报）的报道，得益于互联网销售的 “长尾效应 ”，2016年推出的 2000款新香氛中，将近一半都是小众品牌。小众品牌自然是创意十足，但随着越来越多的选择涌现在顾客面前，人们极有可能产生审美疲劳。伦敦许多香氛专家对此出谋划策：不仅要转变人们对香氛的认识，也要潜移默化地改变人们的消费习惯。调香师和香味预测师 Emmanuelle Moeglin是其中一位先行者。她在 2015年创立了 Experimental Perfume Club（实验香氛）俱乐部，旨在揭秘香水制作流程，鼓励人们打开嗅觉。“生活在城市里的人们已经厌倦了小众品牌，他们想更进一步。”她解释道，“他们希望窥探香水的秘密。人们都想创造独一无二的定制香水，而产品的切肤体验同样至关重要。” 对香味敏感、好奇的人都应该去 Moeglin的 “微型实验室 ” 看一看，它就隐匿于时髦人士汇集的百老汇集市（ Broadway Market）后面的小巷中。这家店铺和伦敦西部的各大香氛专卖店有着天差地别；Moeglin 把它描述为“一个开放式的香氛实验室— — 专为香氛而生”。您可以参加体验课程，学习如何制作一款独一无二的香氛，可以请定制顾问调制一瓶心仪的香水，还可以参加每月两次的开放活动，尽情玩转各种气味。“一些妙趣横生的香氛就是在人们的试验中应运而生，你可以得到像泰国罗勒咖喱这样的新奇味道。” Moeglin 津津乐道。在她看来，她的商业模式

向来是“ 打造一个创意人士的社区，吸引人们保持联系，回来学习更多知识。” 如今，她的创意空间有了一大批拥趸，采用众筹的形式运作 — — 与常见的公司化运作模式截然不同。“实验室自然而然发展和壮大，我想保持下去。” Moeglin坚定地说道。 Keren Bester是另一位身在伦敦东部的调香师。她经营着 Chemical Poetry Club（如诗化学）俱乐部，提供香水订阅服务，每月向顾客寄送 3份来自不同手工调香师的小样。Bester从数不胜数的调香师中甄选出真正具有创新精神的独立调香师，寻找无惧引起争议的 “ 极端品牌 ”。她的本意是“展现独立调香师的非凡创造才华，促进在线讨论，创造一个香水品鉴俱乐部。如果人们能够谱写出生活的动人乐章，那么为什么不积极创造香气的声道呢？这就是我创建 Chemical Poetry Club俱乐部的初衷。” Bester也同意顾客的需求正在发生变化。“ 我认为，人们对独特个性的与日俱增的追求实质上是对真实性的向往。各个领域都刮起了一股品鉴风，咖啡、杜松子酒、红酒、巧克力……为什么不加上香水呢？”她问道，“ 我们将帮助客人训练嗅觉，辨别他们喜欢和不喜欢的气味以及原因。” 她的目标是把香氛提升到艺术的层面。“分解开来，香氛就犹如一首化学诗歌。”她娓娓道来，“ 我的想法是打造一个社区，品鉴市面上最美妙迷人的化学配方，从而共同创造扣人心弦的香氛诗歌。” 与此同时，传统品牌也在不断增加筹码，寻找新方法来满足人们对独特性的旺盛需求。位于梅费尔地区的香水制造商 Creed推出了刻字服务，顾客可以一边品尝香槟，一边等待自己的姓名刻在香水瓶上。经典的英伦品牌 Penhaligon’ s则新推出了

globalblue.cn

奢华无比的 Alberto Morillas定制香水— —支付昂贵的 35000英镑，这位世界知名的调香大师就将为您创作一款举世无双的香氛，并将其盛放于手工定制的香水瓶中：整个过程非常私密化，长达数月之久。无论是奢华至极的高级香氛，还是价格相对适中的款式，个性化香水似乎已在伦敦生根发芽。

REGENT STREET

РУССКИЙ ПЕРЕВОД 36: The Rise Of The Flat С небес на землю Комфортные и практичные туфли на плоской подошве покоряют новые высоты модной индустрии, – рассказывает Салли Макилхуон Последние несколько сезонов обувь без каблуков доминировала на модных подиумах: от кроссовок до сандалий и туфель без задника. В стремлении к практичной обуви женщины все реже отдают предпочтение высоким каблукам, выбирая стильную обувь на плоской подошве, которая смотрится не менее женственно, однако гораздо удобнее в носке. Лондонские дизайнеры обуви являются пионерами в этой области, создавая шикарные и в то же время практичные вещи: от лоферов до причудливых балеток, не теряющих популярность у поклонников моды. Шарлотта Олимпия Деллал, основатель бренда Charlotte Olympia, выпускает обувь с 2008 года. Лучше всего дизайнера знают благодаря популярной модели балеток Kitty с вышивкой в виде кошачьей морды и заостренных ушек. Балетки Kitty доступны в различных фасонах, включая модель без задников, для пляжа и в виде эспадрилей, а также в различных цветовых вариантах: от леопарда до британского флага. Сложно поверить, что вдохновением для globalblue.ru

создания этих ультрасовременных туфель послужил роман Агаты Кристи «Кошка среди голубей», изданный в 1959 году. Туфли Kitty впервые появились в коллекции 2011 года под названием «To Die For» («Умереть за»), и для Деллал стало большим сюрпризом популярность «кошачьего» узора. «Я никак не ожидала такого резонанса», – заявила дизайнер в интервью Luxury London. Однако модель Kitty остается столь же популярной сколь и прежде, и сегодня является частью коллекции Encore. Если и выбирать чтолибо из очаровательной серии обуви Charlotte Olympia, то это непременно должны быть туфли Kitty. Для тех, кто предпочитает обувь, сделанную на заказ, на помощь приходит Nicholas Kirkwood. Фирменные туфли Beya на плоской подошве можно заметить у многих знаменитостей,

включая супермодель Джиджи Хадид, а недавно бренд предложил на своем сайте новую услугу, благодаря которой можно самому составить дизайн лоферов или туфель Beya. Russell & Bromley – британский бренд с флагманом на New Bond Street и легендарной историей, отраженной в коллекциях роскошной обуви. Популярные лоферы бренда будут идеально смотреться с укороченными брюками или придадут мальчишеский шарм юбке с кашемировым джемпером. Последние сезоны туфли бренда на плоской подошве буквально расхватывают. «Мы наблюдаем заметный спад популярности высоких каблуков, которым предпочитают средние каблуки и плоскую подошву, – говорит Стефани Хаттон, главный PRменеджер бренда. – Спортивный тренд сильно повлиял на выбор обуви, который делают женщины. В последнее время они все больше предпочитают комфорт и стиль одновременно». В сезоне осень-зима 2017/18

globalblue.ru

в результате обязательства сочетать комфорт и стильный дизайн компания представила несколько новых моделей. Ими стали: бордовые балетки с бархатными лентами; красные тапочки, вышитые розовыми и золотыми цветочными узорами; кроссовки на платформе; черные полуботинки, украшенные цветными камнями; и, наконец, лоферы с кисточками в различных цветовых вариациях. «Наше наследие отражено в мальчишеских лоферах, а традиционный стиль снова в тренде, – поясняет Хаттон. – Каждый сезон мы обновляем модельный ряд, экспериментируя с цветовой гаммой и новыми текстурами, включая парчу и декоративные украшения, но в итоге стремимся к простоте». Для этого Russell & Bromley даже оживили свои архивы. «В связи с повышенным спросом мы вернули нашу классическую модель лоферов Brewster»,– отмечает Хаттон. Ребекка Фаррар-Хокли, креативный директор Kurt Geiger, считает, что секрет популярности туфель без каблуков кроется в том, что их можно носить каждый день. По словам ФаррарХокли, фирменные «тапочки без задников» стали одной из самых популярных моделей в сезоне весна-лето 2017, и эта тенденция должна продолжиться. «В предстоящем сезоне, – говорит она, – большинство наших моделей на плоской подошве получили обновление в виде

дополнительных украшений, что переносит их из разряда повседневной обуви в разряд вечерней». От бархатных туфель в стиле Mary Jane с декоративным ремешком до черных тапочек Carvela и золотых Lounge: выбор фасонов огромен, и вы сможете легко найти модель как для деловой встречи, так и для вечернего ужина и не только. Секрет Kurt Geiger заключается в том, чтобы побудить дизайнеров вкладывать в создаваемую ими обувь частичку своей души. «Большинство обуви, которую мы выпускаем, создано по принципу "делай так, словно делаешь для себя"», – поясняет Фаррар-Хокли. Дизайнеры бренда обладают великолепным чувством стиля и следят за актуальными тенденциями моды, поэтому коллекции Kurt Geiger включают множество превосходных моделей на плоской подошве, включая кроссовки, тапочки и лоферы. «Многие популярные модели, например, кроссовки Lamar и туфли без задников Otter будут перевыпущены в следующем сезоне, доказывая, что наши сезонные хиты не утрачивают своей привлекательности», – говорит Фаррар-Хокли. С таким количеством фасонов, ожидающих повторного выпуска в осенне-зимнем сезоне, похоже, что тенденция на плоскую подошву не собирается угасать. Ну а лишний комфорт и элегантность нашим ногам никогда не помешают.

42: The Future Of Fragrance Будущее парфюмерии Креативные парфюмеры Лондона выводят индустрию на новый уровень. Джоанна Макджинн рассказывает о самых интересных проектах Для парфюмерии наступил звездный час. В воздухе запахло переменами и дело тут далеко не в Chanel No 5. После пяти лет господства крупных брендов конъюнктура рынка начала меняться, и виной тому – новое поколение парфюмерных бунтарей. Революция началась еще 20 лет назад, когда парижский гуру парфюмерии Фредерик Маль дал начало проекту Editions de Parfums, отобрав лучших специалистов для создания ароматов под собственными именами. Таким образом все внимание будет сосредоточено на парфюме,

нежели на маркетинговом ореоле знаменитого бренда. Популярность на этот тренд пришла только недавно. Список лидеров возглавили лондонские бренды Perfumer H и 4160 Tuesdays, а также необычные ароматы, такие как «грибной» и «горячий песок», а летняя выставка в Somerset House была посвящена всему, что связано с запахами. Согласно данным издания Premium Beauty News, в прошлом году на нишевые бренды пришлась почти половина всех 2000 новых ароматов, выпущенных в 2016 году. Но, несмотря на такую креативность, нишевая индустрия может оказаться под угрозой спада из-за чрезмерного предложения. В ответ ряд лондонских парфюмеров решили изменить наше представление о парфюме и том, как его носить. Одним из таких парфюмерных провокаторов выступил специалист в области ароматов Эммануэль Моглин, открывшая в 2015 году Experimental Perfume Club, задачей которого стало пробуждение в людях чувства обоняния и развенчивание мифов о процессе создания духов. «Жители городов уже подустали от нишевых брендов и находятся в ожидании чего-то нового, – говорит она. – Они хотят заглянуть за кулисы. И дело не только в новых ощущениях, но и в возможности самому поучаствовать в создании чего-то уникального». globalblue.ru

Все, кто увлекается парфюмерией, просто обязаны посетить мини-лабораторию Моглин, спрятанную на тихой улочке рядом с популярным среди хипстеров месте Broadway Market. Это место расположено вдалеке от парфюмерных салонов западного Лондона; по словам Моглин, это «лаборатория свободного доступа, всецело посвященная ароматам». Здесь проводятся мастер-классы по созданию уникальных парфюмов, а также индивидуальные консультации, позволяющие определить любимый запах. Можно просто записаться на воркшоп, проводящийся два раза в месяц и вдоволь поэкспериментировать. «Наиболее интересные сочетания получаются, когда люди экспериментируют и создают, например, нечто напоминающее тайское карри с базиликом», – делится Моглин. Ее бизнес-модель всегда полагалась на «сообщество творцов»: «Люди приходят снова и снова, чтобы узнать что-то новое, мы поддерживаем постоянную связь». В отличие от обычных корпоративных моделей проект Моглин существует за счет большого числа поклонников. «У нашего проекта естественное развитие, и меня это устраивает», – говорит Моглин. Керен Бестер, еще один лондонский парфюмер, управляет проектом Chemical Poetry Club. Все участники получают по три разных экземпляра парфюмов, которые выпускаются мастерами раз в месяц. Бестер изучает

коллекции многочисленных независимых парфюмеров, отбирая по-настоящему инновационные бренды, которые не боятся бросить вызов обыденному. Идея, по ее словам, заключается в том, чтобы «продемонстрировать публике наиболее талантливые творения независимых парфюмеров и поощрить онлайн-дискуссии среди ценителей парфюмерии. Если каждый из нас может представить саундтрек к своей жизни, почему бы нам не создать собственный аромат? Именно для этого существует Chemical Poetry Club». Бестер согласна, что требования клиентов меняются. «Мне кажется, что растущее стремление людей ко всему уникальному подразумевает стремление к аутентичному. Появляются целые сообщества знатоков в области кофе, джина, вина, шоколада… так почему бы не создать общество ценителей парфюма? – спрашивает она. – Мы поможем клиентам

улучшить обоняние, чтобы они могли лучше понимать, что им нравится, а что нет и почему». Ее задача возвысить парфюмерное дело до уровня искусства. «Если разобраться, то по сути парфюм – это химическая поэма, – говорит она. – Смысл в том, чтобы создать сообщество людей, которые смогут вносить вклад в эту поэзию, экспериментируя с самыми провокационными и изумительными запахами». Многие знаменитые бренды также пытаются подстроиться под новые правила игры, стараясь найти новые способы удовлетворить растущую потребность к уникальности. Парфюмерный бренд Creed из лондонского района Mayfair теперь предлагает услугу гравировки; сотрудники салона нанесут гравировку на купленный вами флакон, а вы тем временем можете отдохнуть за бокалом шампанского. Британский парфюмерный дом Penhaligon’s недавно предложил своим покупателям услугу создания парфюма на заказ при помощи специалиста Альберто Морилласа. За 35 000 фунтов стерлингов этот известный на весь мир парфюмер создаст для вас уникальный аромат, который упакуют в оригинальный флакон: процесс глубоко индивидуальный и на него может уйти несколько месяцев. Начиная от самых роскошных и заканчивая очень доступными, похоже, что персонализированные духи станут неотъемлемой частью нашей жизни.
