POETIC FORM Inspired by 12th-century Italian poet Dante, whose full name was Dante Alighieri, Alighieri is a London-based jewellery brand that is making waves on the international fashion scene. Founder Rosh Mahtani discovered her muse for the brand while studying French and Italian at Oxford University, and she developed a particular fascination with the 100 poems that make up Dante’s Divine Comedy. Each of her pieces tells the story of Save up to 16% by shopping tax free, see page 48

The pictured Infernal Storm earrings, crafted in gold-plated bronze with baroque pearls, are a representation of the fifth canto, in which lovers Paolo and Francesca are trapped in an eternal storm and can do nothing but tell stories of their love. lt Alighieri earrings, ÂŁ350, Selfridges, 400 Oxford Street, London W1A 1AB, 0800 123400 (UK), +44 (0)113 369 8040 (international), alighieri.co.uk FOR MAP GO TO PAGE 38

WAT C H THIS
I
f you’ve been in London’s King’s Cross district during the last few years, you will have seen that things are changing radically. Where large expanses of the neighbourhood once lay unused, today there is a buzz of activity. From offices to bars, shops to restaurants, King’s Cross has seen a swathe of exciting openings, and there are more are to come. The area is home to one the most ambitious redevelopments in the recent history of London. ‘It’s so rare to have a huge area in such a central district with such potential,’ says Craig White, project director at property developer Argent, organiser of this incredible venture. ‘The place that King’s Cross has in the history of London was a major attraction. You can feel that history in every building.’ A key part of the redevelopment is Coal Drops Yard, a renovated Victorian building that was originally used to store coal. The space, which will be completed this October, offers a striking new destination in London. Here you’ll find enticing boutiques from a variety of creative brands, restaurants, bars, cafés, a gym and more. For White, and for Argent, it was crucial for Coal Drops Yard to have a strong identity. ‘We were trying to do something different for London that added to the city but didn’t detract from anywhere else,’ says White. ‘We recognise it’s not just about consuming a product. 51

How you experience a brand and how you experience shopping actually enriches your day or your life.’ The approach, he explains, is about returning to the old-fashioned art of retail. ‘Visual merchandising, window displays, creative direction … we are working with brands that have a brilliant ability to tell their story through creativity visually or online or with their staff.’ Having met with more than 1,000 brands in just over three years, the team has so far selected 55 for Coal Drops Yard, out of 65 potential spaces. The variety is impressive. Alongside international superbrand Nike and established British labels such as Sweaty Betty, there are many younger brands. Emerging lingerie label Beija London is setting its first physical store here, while concept store Studio One Twenty will open its second location, as will the hugely successful Manifesto barber shop. ‘These are London success stories,’ says White. ‘Coal Drops Yard represents to them a really interesting location.’ Brands are certainly responding well to the project. British fashion designer Paul Smith is opening an exciting new boutique here. Smith is known for his creative approach to retail, and across the world each of his stores is unique, designed to reflect the brand and also elements of the city or neighbourhood they are in. This boutique will embrace the original architecture but also contrast it with highly modern elements. It will feature a variety of design concepts and will present a
frequently changing array of objects and collections. This approach is very similar to the one that Argent envisages for the whole of Coal Drops Yard, says Craig White, citing Paul Smith as one of the team’s muses. Tom Dixon is another resident White is particularly excited about. The renowned design house, led by its award-winning eponymous

designer, is moving its headquarters here, combining studio, workshop and innovative flagship boutique under one (rather enormous) roof. ‘We will use the 17,500 square feet in this incredible location as a platform to broadcast our latest ideas in interior design, product innovation and experiments in food, functionality and future living,’ enthuses Dixon, who calls the space ‘a new home’. This sense of connection to the space is something the team at Coal Drops Yard has worked very hard to foster. ‘What we thought was incredible was bringing 55 brands together where the owners of the brands would probably be working in the shops,’ says White, who adds that this is a key element of the return to traditional retail and the personal touch. ‘I can’t think of any street in London where there’s such a range of brands in such close proximity, and of course that helps you as a local or as a visitor because
time is the new luxury. If you are going to give us your time, all of our brands and all the values they display will really reward you for that.’ Of course it’s not just retail on offer at King’s Cross. The area has also become a foodie destination, offering innovative restaurants, bars and cafés. Trendy yet welcoming restaurant Caravan was the first and it remains one of the best. Another must-visit is Dishoom, serving modern Indian food in a stylish setting. The options for drinking and dining, or even simply grabbing a coffee, are among the very best in the city. Millions of people travel through the King’s Cross area every year, and this is set to rise – not only as the neighbourhood develops but also as transport links expand. The district is, after all, home to the only international railway station in London. For Craig White, by far the most important thing is the welcoming atmosphere. ‘We never want King’s Cross to feel like an exclusive part of the city,’ he says. ‘Everyone is welcome here, whatever your background or wealth. That was a guiding principle for us’

CLOGAU Welsh family-run jeweller Clogau creates beautiful pieces of jewellery and watches from rare Welsh gold. Its Tree of Life ring (pictured, £500) is one of its most eye-catching designs. Crafted from nine-carat yellow gold, it depicts the leaves, berries and vines of the mythical tree of life, famous in Celtic mythology. Generations of the British royal family have used Clogau Welsh gold in their wedding rings, and a piece made of this precious metal would make the perfect jewellery souvenir from time spent in the United Kingdom.

在伦敦市中心的国王十字区，一 个涉及购物、餐饮等等领域的 全新项目正逐渐成形。Hannah Lewis带 您 到此一游 如果您 在 过去几 年里 来 过国王十字 区（ King’ s Cross），那 么您 一定注 意 到了，这 里 的 一 切都 在 发 生 着变 化 — — 翻天覆 地 的变化。曾经 荒 芜 萧 索 的大片 地带，如 今已是车水马龙。 从办 公室到酒 吧，从 店铺到餐 馆，国 王十字区见证了一大 批 令人 激 动 的 商家开门 营业，而且 还 有更多即将 到 来。这个 地 区孕育了伦敦 现代 史 上 最 具 野心的 重 建 计 划 之一。 “ 在一 个有 着如此 潜力、位 置 如 此 居中的街区，能 拥有 如此 广阔的 地带，这是非常 难 得 的。” Craig White先 生说 道；他 在 这 场 惊 奇冒险 的组 织 方、地 产 开发商 Argent公司 担任项目总监，“ 在 伦敦 的历史 上， 国王十字区是 一处 重要 的 旅 游 景点。 你可以 从每 一 幢 建 筑 上 感受 到那 种 历史气 息。” Coal Drops Yard是 重 建 计 划 的 一 个关 键部 分。这是 一 幢 屡 经翻 修 的 维多利亚 建 筑，最初 是 用于 储 存 煤 炭 的。该 项目将于今 年十月完 工，届时 的伦敦 就将迎 来一个全 新的 好 去处。 在 这 里，您 将发 现 各种 令人心动 的 创 意品牌 精品店、餐厅、酒吧、咖啡 馆、 健 身房及 更多精 彩。 在 White先 生以 及 Argent公司看 来，关 键 在于要为 Coal Drops Yard 赋 予 鲜明的特 色。“ 我们 在尝 试 为 伦
敦做一些不一样 的事情，要能为 这 座 城 市增 辉，同时 并不 减 损 其他 地 方 的魅力。” White先 生说 道，“ 我们 意 识 到，这 并不是消费 一 件商品这么简 单。你 如 何体 验 一 个品牌，如 何体 验 购 物，实际 上充实了你 的 一 天 或你 的 生活。”他 解 释 称，这 种 方 式 的要旨 在于回归 老 生常谈 的零售 艺 术。“ 视 觉营 销、橱 窗陈设、创作导向……我 们 在 和 极其 擅长 通 过创意 讲 述 故事 的品牌 合作 — — 这 些 创意可以是视 觉 上 的 或网络上 的，也可以是 他们自 己的员工。” Argent团队在 短 短 三年里会见了 1000多 家品牌，至今已为拥有 65个 潜 在商铺 空间的 Coal Drops Yard 选定了 55家。商家的多元 化 令人印 象深 刻。这 里不 仅荟 萃了 Nike这 样 的国际 超 级 大 牌 和 Sweaty Betty等 知名 伦敦品牌，还 有许 多相 对年 轻 的品牌。近 年 新 创的内衣 品牌 Beija

London就 把 第一家实体店 设在了这 里，而概 念商店 Studio One Twenty 则 将在 此 开 设其第二家门店，广受 热 捧 的 Manifesto理 发 店也一样。“这 些 都 是 来自伦敦 的成 功 故事。” White 先 生说 道，“ 对他们 来说，Coal Drops Yard是 一 个非常 有 吸引力的 地 方。” 显 然，各 家品牌 都 对 该 项目给出 了良 好 的反响。英国时尚 设 计师 Paul Smith即将在 这 里 开 设 一家令人 激 动 的 全 新 精品店。Smith先 生 素以创意 零售方 式而 著 称；放 眼世界 各地，他 的每 一家门店 都 别出心裁，既能 反 映 品牌 的风 格，也 表 现了所在 城 市 或 街 区 的独 特元 素。这 家 精品店则 将 保留 原有 的建 筑 结 构，但会用极具 现代 特 色 的元 素来 创造 鲜明反 差。店铺中将 出现 形 形色色 的 设 计概 念，室内陈设 品和服 饰系列 也会 频 繁更 新。Craig White先 生 表 示，这 种 经 营 方 法和 Argent为 Coal Drops Yard设 想 的整 体 规 划 非常 相 似，并将 Paul Smith引为团队 的灵 感 缪 斯之一。 Tom Dixon是 另一家让White 先 生格 外激 动 的入驻 品牌。这个由屡

获 殊 荣 的同名设 计师 引领的知名设 计 团队将 要 把 总店 迁 来 这 里，偌大 的空间 之中，工作 室、工 坊和 创意 旗 舰 精品店共聚 一 堂。“ 我们 将充分 利 用这不 可思议 的 17500平方尺 空间， 把 这 里作为 一 个 平台，来 传 播 我们 在 室内设 计、产品 创新、食品实 验、 功 能 性 和未 来家居 等 领 域 的最 新 理 念。” Dixon先 生 如 是说 道；他 把 这 里 称为“一 个 新家 ”。 这 种 和空间的息 息 相关感 正 是 Coal Drops Yard团队 努力营造 的氛 围。“让我们觉 得不 可思议 的 是，我 们 将 55家品牌 融 汇 在一 起，其中许 多品牌 的老板很可能 就 在 店铺中工 作。” White先 生说 道。他 补充说，这 是回归 传 统 零售及 人性 化 举 措 的 一 大 关 键 要素：“ 我 想不 到伦敦 还 有 哪 条街 道 上有这么多的品牌 相互如此 接 近，这 当然 会为你 带来帮助 — — 无 论你是 当地 人 还 是 游 客 — —因为时 间 就 是 新 的奢 侈品。如果 你 把你 的 时间交 给 我们，我们 所有 的品牌 和 它们 所展 示 的 价 值 将切实为你 带来 回报。” 当然，国王十字区可 不只有零售 商店 而 已。这个 地 区已 经 成 为了一 处 美 食圣 地，各种 创意 餐厅、酒 吧 和 咖 啡 馆云 集于此。风 格 时 髦而待 客 热 情 的 餐厅 Caravan是 这 里 的 “ 元 老”，也一直 是 最 好 的 就 餐地 之 一。Dishoom是 另一家必访名店，主 厨在 颇 具 格调 的环 境中供 应现代印 度 菜 肴。无 论 是 饮 酒还 是 用餐，又 或 者只是 品一杯 咖 啡，国王十字区 的丰 富选 择 都冠 绝伦敦。 每 一 年 都 有 数以百 万计 的 游 客来 到国王十字区，而且 这个数 字还 将上 涨 — —不 仅街区在 发 展，交 通也变得 日益 便 利。毕竟，这 里有 着全伦敦 唯 一 的国际火车 站。在 Craig White先 生看来，最 重要 的还 是 令人 放 松 的 友 好 氛围。“ 我们决不 想让国王十字区 感 觉 上 是 伦敦 的 孤 岛。”他说 道，“无

РУССКИЙ ПЕРЕВОД 28: WATCH THIS SPACE ЗДЕСЬ БУДЕТ ГОРОД-САД В самом центре Лондона, в районе Кингс-Кросс, готовится к открытию новое городское пространство с магазинами, ресторанами и развлечениями. Подробности узнавала Ханна Льюис Если вы уже бывали в районе Кингс-Кросс прежде, то удивитесь радикальным переменам. На территории, которая еще несколько лет назад пустовала, сегодня кипит жизнь. Многие офисы, бары, магазины и рестораны уже работают, но впереди еще много важных презентаций и открытий. Обновление Кингс-Кросс можно назвать, без преувеличения, одним из самых амбициозных проектов по реконструкции исторической части Лондона. «Такая большая территория, в таком центральном районе и c таким потенциалом – большая редкость и удача, – отмечает Крэйг Уайт, руководитель проекта в девелоперской компании Argent, которая проводит реновацию. – Решающим фактором стала та

значительная роль, которую Кингс-Кросс играет в истории Лондона. Буквально каждое здание здесь пронизывает дух истории». Центральной частью проекта стал Coal Drops Yard – комплекс викторианских зданий, который в прошлом использовался для хранения угля. В октябре он откроется в обновленном виде, чтобы стать новым лондонским центром притяжения с заманчивыми модными бутиками, ресторанами, барами, кафе, спортзалом и многим другим. Для Уайта и Argent принципиально важным было придать Coal Drops Yard яркую индивидуальность: «Мы старались сделать это место не похожим на другие, чтобы оно делало городское пространство лучше и гармонично вписывалась в инфраструктуру города. Мы осознавали, что
для этого нужно выходить за пределы чисто потребительских задач. Ведь ощущения во время шоппинга и взаимодействия с брендом могут обогатить ваш день, сделать жизнь более интересной». С его точки зрения, все это возвращает нас к старому доброму искусству создавать особую атмосферу в магазинах: «Мерчендайзинг, дизайн витрин, креативные решения... мы работаем с брендами, которые умеют превосходно рассказывать свои истории через творчество: в визуальных решениях, в интернете или устами персонала». Всего за три года команда отсмотрела более 1000 брендов. Из них для размещения в Coal Drops Yard было выбрано всего 55, притом что проект предполагает 65 магазинов. Подборка получилась очень разнообразной. Международный супербренд

Nike соседствует с Sweaty Betty и другими авторитетными британскими марками, и вместе они прекрасно уживаются с молодыми компаниями. Первый оффлайн магазин здесь открывает лейбл нижнего белья Beija London, а концепт-стор Studio One Twenty и успешный барбершоп Manifesto планируют уже вторые заведения. «Все это – чисто лондонские истории успеха, – поясняет Уайт. – Поэтому Coal Drops Yard представляет для них особый интерес как место нового типа». Бренды, действительно, охотно идут на сотрудничество. Одним из резидентов станет британская марка Paul Smith, известная своим творческим подходом к ритейлу. Пол Смит следит за тем, чтобы каждый бутик в любой точке мира оставался уникальным. Для этого он сочетает в оформлении собственный фирменный стиль и элементы того города или района, где открывается новый магазин. В Coal Drops Yard он собирается сохранить викторианскую архитектуру и усилить эффект контрастной современной отделкой. Тот же принцип распространяется и на ассортимент: подборка вещей и коллекций будет часто меняться. Неслучайно Крейг Уайт называет Пола Смита одним из вдохновителей: схожий прием Argent применяет ко всему проекту Coal Drops Yard. С особым воодушевлением Уайт говорит о том, что в новый globalblue.ru
кластер переезжает дизайнбюро Tom Dixon. Успешный и признанный дизайнер Том Диксон перевозит сюда свою штаб-квартиру, чтобы соединить студию, мастерскую и флагманский бутик под одной (и довольно большой) крышей. «Мы задействуем 17500 квадратных метров в этом прекрасном месте. Теперь мы будем отсюда транслировать новые идеи в дизайне интерьеров, внедрять передовые разработки и экспериментировать с едой, функциональностью и технологиями для жизни», – рассказывает Диксон. Он уже называет Coal Drops Yard «новым домом». Команда Coal Drops Yard вложила много сил в то, чтобы создать эту атмосферу единства и гостеприимства. «Мы размышляли, как было бы здорово привести сюда 55 брендов и чтобы их владельцы сами работали в своих магазинах», – вспоминает Уайт. Он считает, что именно это способно вернуть нас к лучшим традициям торговли и личного общения: «Я не могу припомнить ни одной улицы в Лондоне, где было бы так много разных брендов в такой непосредственной близости. И конечно, это должно помочь вам, посетителям, – и местным жителям, и гостям. Ведь время – это новая роскошь. И если вы собираетесь уделить нам немного времени, все наши
54
бренды, со всеми их ценностями, охотно вознаградят вас за это». Помимо ритейла, в КингсКросс появляются заведения, достойные внимания гурманов. Первым открылся очень модный, но в то же время гостеприимный ресторан Caravan. В обставленном со вкусом Dishoom подают блюда современной индийский кухни. В целом, рестораны, бары, даже кофе с собой в этом квартале ничем не уступают лучшим лондонским заведениям. Миллионы людей проходят через Кингс-Кросс каждый год.
И он будет развиваться, причем не только как район, но и как транспортный узел. Помимо всего прочего, в Кингс-Кросс находится единственный в Лондоне международный железнодорожный вокзал. По словам Крейга Уайта, самой важной составляющей должна стать атмосфера открытости: «Мы никогда не хотели, чтобы Кингс-Кросс воспринимался как привилегированная часть города. Здесь рады всем, вне зависимости от происхождения и достатка. Для нас это основа основ».

SCENTS OF PLACE Penhaligon’s was founded in London back in 1870, so it’s fair to say that the brand knows a thing or two about the city’s scents. For 2018 Penhaligon’s has created three new fragrances designed to evoke the aromas of three different areas of London. Kensington Amber, Marylebone Wood and Belgravia Chypre conjure the spirit of these three distinct locations, from the quaint Save up to 16% by shopping tax free, see page 48
