Alice Stevenson Alice Stevenson created this season’s cover illustration for SHOP London Style. Her eyecatching artwork has previously been commissioned by Crabtree and Evelyn, Marc by Marc Jacobs and Vogue, among others. Her bright, dramatic style makes her a perfect illustrator for this cover, inspired by our feature on page 38 about the London designers championing a new look in interiors. It shows a bold pattern incorporating various items of homeware. Explore our archive of cover illustrations at globalblue.com/covers.

Chocky Hendreth is a modern menswear label specialising in the classic Oxford shirt. Right from the start, in 2012, founders – and childhood friends – Ben Norville and Joe Bullmore were adamant that everything about the shirts should be made in England. As a result, the buttons can be traced to a small workshop on Brick Lane, the cotton fabric comes from a weaver in south London, and it’s all put together in a small factory in Aldgate. th

A
quick glance at any social network or style blog is all it takes to show that the world is having a love affair with interiors right now. Not content with beautifying ourselves, we are also giving our homes a makeover, and the taste makers are just as fascinated by the newest home collections as the latest catwalk shows.

difference, and many of the most exciting young print designers call London home. With a main store on Lamb’s Conduit Street in Bloomsbury, as well as a shop-in-shop in Selfridges, relative newcomer Darkroom (it opened in 2009) is already an established presence on London’s design scene. The flagship offers a range of accessible, beautiful design from across the world, from soft furnishings and textiles to Above: Darkroom store

It seems that no one is immune to the pull of prints – so it’s definitely time to get decorating furniture, displayed against stark black walls. Founders Rhonda Drakeford and Lulu RoperCaldbeck champion emerging designers, with many exclusive pieces and special commissions available. Drakeford and Roper-Caldbeck also produce their own Darkroom collection, which comprises some of the most covetable items in a truly well-stocked boutique. Between them, they have backgrounds in
graphic design, interiors, textiles and fashion, and this and their shared passion for travel provides a solid foundation for their interiors line. The two produce cushions, rugs, throws, plates, mirrors and much more, with print at the heart of what they do. ‘Our plan was to create something very different – something bolder, brighter and much more full-on’, explains Roper-Caldbeck. The signature Darkroom aesthetic is bold and

graphic, featuring geometric shapes and strong colours. Its prints are varied but always eye catching, with everything from layered tribalinspired etchings to the simple but powerful use of monochrome. Across town, in one of London’s coolest quarters, lies the flagship of insider favourite House of Hackney. The historic architecture characteristic of the Shoreditch area proved the perfect fit for the husband-and-wife team behind the label, which can certainly lay claim to one of the most stylish
stores in London. The boutique is decked out wall to wall in the bold prints for which House of Hackney has become famous, making it a testament to the brand’s unique and faultless style. Launched in 2010, House of Hackney was begun with the aim to ‘take the beige out of interiors’. Founders Javvy M Royle and Frieda Gormley were also adamant that the brand be a truly British one. As such, it proudly supports local industries, working with the country’s best manufacturers.
The best evidence that furnishings are the new fashion is the number of catwalk designers turning their hand to interiors Above (both): House of Hackney boutique

The aesthetic, too, is proudly British, albeit with a strong contemporary edge, and the prints themselves are inspired by the nation’s cultural heritage. Bold florals show the clear influence of Victorian artist William Morris, one of the most important figures in the history of British textiles. Another favourite is the Hackney Empire print, which depicts anthropomorphised animals, whose name pays tribute to the London borough where the brand was born. Perhaps the best evidence that furnishings are the new fashion is the growing number of catwalk designers turning their hands to interiors. One of the most exciting to launch in spring/summer 2016 is the collaboration between House of Holland and Habitat. The former, the label of effortlessly cool British
Many of the most exciting print designers in the world call London home designer Henry Holland, is known for its fresh and playful designs, as well as its bold use of colour and print. Habitat, meanwhile, is an iconic British name which has been committed to making stylish home design accessible to a wide audience since its beginnings in 1964. The limited-edition collection will adapt key elements of the current House of Holland collection and reinterpret these prints across textiles and upholstery. ‘It’s been a

lot of fun translating our spring/ summer 2016 collection for a different creative industry, taking our 1970s psychedelic, hallucinatory prints from the catwalk and working with new materials and techniques specifically for the home,’ says Holland. It’s certain to prove just as popular as his clothing, and likely to gain him new admirers along the way. A smart move for both House of Holland and Habitat, the project is more than that for Holland himself: it’s personal. ‘I’m so excited to be working on my first interiors range … I recently bought my first house and am really getting into soft furnishings these days, so luckily this project has come just at the right time.’ With no one immune to the pull of prints, it’s time to get decorating Above (clockwise from top left): two House of Holland catwalk looks; one of the fabrics from the brand’s collaboration with Habitat, all spring/summer 2016

London’s West End may be home to some of the world’s biggest luxury brands, but those in the know are heading east, to Redchurch Street. Ruairidh Pritchard explores

THE STREET
In the world’s most fashionable cities, there are a handful of streets with truly distinctive style credentials – and London is no exception. While Oxford Street is a high-street fashion lover’s dream,
and Mayfair is home to luxurious Mount Street and Bond Street, London’s fashion and arts scene is seeing a new name come to the fore: Redchurch Street, in the city’s edgy East End.

scene has put it firmly in the spotlight again for all the right reasons. The street has been home to some of the most prominent names of the celebrated Young British Artists movement – both Tracey Emin and Sarah Lucas worked here during the early 1990s – as well as a canvas for some of the most innovative and eye-catching street art in the city. Not just artists but all manner of creatives have flocked to the area, including those in fashion, an echo of Redchurch Street’s

The street has a long and fascinating history. It began life as a narrow lane connecting Shoreditch and Bethnal Green, but by the late 17th century, the first residences had been built along its length. A surge in development in the 1730s produced terraced houses for workers from the city’s thriving silk and garment industries, some of which survive to this day. Since then Redchurch Street has seen lows and highs, but its more recent reinvention as the epicentre of east London’s modern art and design

silk-weaving origins. Nowadays the street is famous for hosting one of London’s best selections of cutting-edge international fashion brands and local labels. Redchurch Street is a great place to discover new names. To the western end of the street, French fashion label APC and multi-brand store Aimé bring their own takes on minimalist Parisian chic to east
London. Nearby is Swedish denim expert Nudie Jeans, as well as British heritage label Sunspel, one of the best brands for luxury basics. The area has begun to attract some of the world’s biggest brands, too. Italian label Versus, the directional offshoot of fashion behemoth Versace, recently opened a store on Redchurch Street, while American fashion giant J Crew opened a

new men’s store late last year. Such is the influx of international big brands that commentators have described Redchurch Street as ‘the East End’s Bond Street’, and ‘the most fashionable street in London’. Conceptual multi-brand boutique Hostem opened its doors on the street six years ago and has since become something of a Redchurch Street icon. Stocking some of the best in innovative international brands and directional labels, including Comme des Garçons, Dries Van Noten and Loewe, the store – in temporary headquarters on nearby Old Nichol Street for summer 2016 – is a firm favourite among London’s fashion elite, while Tracey Neuls’ eponymous boutique stocks some of most distinctive and desirable Above (clockwise from top): Allpress cofee shop; Albion café; its cooked breakfast; a vintage beauty look from The Painted Lady

contemporary footwear in London. While the incredible array of fashion on offer is impossible to ignore, shopping isn’t the only thing for which Redchurch Street is becoming known. Beauty parlours and barbers are also making their mark on the street. A firm favourite of the city’s best groomed gentlemen, Murdock moved into the street four years ago and offers a range of services for men, from haircuts to beard reshaping and manicures. The Painted Lady, a vintage-themed beauty parlour, offers a range of 60s and 70s-inspired hair and make-up packages, while Barber & Parlour combines a vast array of both men’s and women’s services in its refurbished warehouse space on the corner of Redchurch Street and Club Row.
Aside from fashion and beauty, Redchurch Street has coffee shops and cafés that are some of the most popular in east London, thanks to their focus on artisanal coffee and relaxed good food. Among them is Allpress, which is known for its ethically sourced producer-toroastery coffee beans. Another place to linger is Albion, one of the city’s most popular brunch spots. Whether it’s the draw of pampering beauty parlours and barbers, some of east London’s best coffee shops or the eclectic mix of international and home-grown fashion talent, it’s impossible to resist the allure of Redchurch Street. And with more arrivals due this year, its new-found status as one of the best shopping streets in London seems certain to endure

CAFÉ SOCIETY Afternoon tea is a fne British tradition, and one that’s constantly being updated. Katie Muxworthy seeks out some of the most imaginative versions in the capital
No one is quite sure of the origins of afternoon tea, but the credit for making it the social occasion it became belongs to a 19th-century Duchess of Bedford. With the introduction of gaslight in wealthy homes making it possible to dine later in the evening, mid-afternoon hunger became an issue. The Duchess’s solution was a pot of tea and a light snack in the privacy of her rooms. She began inviting friends to join her, and a new social occasion was born. globalblue.com
A traditional afternoon tea includes a selection of fresh ‘fnger’ sandwiches, followed by scones with cream and jam, and a selection of cakes. This is accompanied by a pot of tea, or occasionally a small glass of champagne. Today, London ofers many distinctive modern takes on the classic, featuring everything from exotic loose-leaf tea favours to Japaneseinfuenced gateaux, meaning there’s something to tempt everyone into an indulgent afternoon treat.
S H O P | 55
CAKE HOLE CAFÉ Cake Hole Café is one of London’s best-kept secrets, despite its location on Columbia Road, which plays host to a hugely popular fower market every Sunday. The reason is surely the fact it’s at the back of a boutique, Vintage Heaven, beyond displays of retro teapots and 1950s glassware. Those who do manage to fnd their way to the intimate café – which, like the shop, is open
at weekends only – won’t be able to resist the home-baked cakes, and scones with clotted cream and jam, as well as the excellent cofee and wide range of speciality teas. A must-try is the Elderfower and White tea, or the Earl Grey Bluestar, an exquisite variation on the classic blend.

DRINK, SHOP & DO At the weekend, this laidback cocktail bar-cum-café serves up a proper afternoon tea, a perfect complement to the charming retro décor. A classic selection of sandwiches, including ham hock, parsley and mustard mayo, egg mayonnaise with spring onion and chives, and smoked salmon, cream cheese and chrain (a spicy globalblue.com
horseradish sauce) is followed by home-made fruit scones with clotted cream and jams, and a selection of miniature cakes. Those who want to make it even more indulgent can also have a glass of champagne or one of the café’s signature Bellinis.

J&A CAFÉ
Tucked away at the back of a courtyard between Clerkenwell Road and Great Sutton Street, J&A Café occupies the ground foor of a former diamond-cutting factory, and its industrial-chic décor of bare brick, metal pendant lights and exposed beams ofers a relaxed modern setting for a traditional afternoon tea. It is run by two sisters, whose passion for home cooking translates into a menu of simple, beautifully prepared food made from carefully sourced ingredients. Smoked salmon on freshly baked soda bread, big pots of tea and tempting cakes are among the highlights. J&A Café, 1-4 Sutton Lane, London EC1M 5PU, +44 (0)20 7490 2992, jandacafe.com

LANKA With its traditional French patisserie and fne Ceylon teas, Lanka provides a distinctive take on afternoon tea. The selection of cakes is inspiring; 20 or so diferent types are baked daily, including the Japanese-infuenced green tea chocolate gateau. Other favourites include the green tea strawberry cake, salted caramel tart and the white chocolate gateau with azuki beans. Accompany your chosen slice of cake with one of the café’s loose-leaf teas from Sri Lanka, which includes varieties scented with fower petals. This charming tearoom is run by Masayuki Hara, who has worked in various Michelinstarred restaurants. Lanka, 9 Goldhurst Terrace, London NW6 3HX, +44 (0)20 7625 3366, lanka-uk.com

JOHNSTONS OF ELGIN PHOTO: MONTANA LOWERY
Luxury Scottish fine knitwear specialist Johnstons of Elgin opened its first London store in December 2015. Located in the heart of Mayfair, the boutique showcases the brand’s heritage with photographs of its mills, cones of cashmere, and a folding table with an inlaid brass tape-measure and a magnifying lamp so that customers can inspect the quality and knit of the garments, just as it’s done at the brand’s mills. The company has been owned by just two families since it was established in 1797 – the Johnstons, followed by the Harrisons, who still own
it – and its menswear, womenswear and home interior lines continue to showcase its traditional craftsmanship and Scottish heritage. Johnstons of Elgin, 77 New Bond Street, London W1S 1RY, +44 (0)20 7629 8983, johnstonscashmere.com

MY LONDON: JUSTIN RHODES Elliot Rhodes is a London-based
accessories company specialising in customisable belts made from interchangeable parts. Launched in 2004, it now has three busy boutiques across the capital. Ximena Daneri talked to founder and creative director Justin Rhodes to get his top tips for exploring London elliotrhodes.com
‘It’s hard to pinpoint one favourite place in a city as diverse as London – there are so many fascinating parts to discover in a vastly eclectic mix of locations. We’re lucky as our stores are all in quite differing areas of the city – Chelsea, Marylebone and Covent Garden … there are bits of all of them that are amazing. ‘I really like the recently developed area of Brewer Street for menswear. Woolrich * p.70 has a lovely store there, and there is a cool hat store around the corner on Sherwood Street called Laird & Co Hatters * p.70. Nearby, you cannot miss out on tea, lunch or a cocktail at the Ham Yard Hotel * p.70, and if you fancy a fun night out hit the luxurious bowling alley in the basement. ‘Head next to Chelsea where the Saatchi Gallery * p.64 is a must for contemporary art
– there are things you’ll love and things you’ll hate, but that’s all part of the charm! ‘I often sneak away from the Chelsea store for tea at Poilâne. The fireside table is my favourite, and the pastries are pretty good as well. ‘Over by our St Christopher’s Place store, meander through Marylebone Lane and discover the wonderful Button Queen store and stop for a nibble at the newly opened Ivy Café * p.68. ‘For a light snack, a visit to Polpo in Duke of York Square is perfect, but for an evening

drink I do have a soft spot for cocktails. You can’t beat the Library Bar * p.65 at the Lanesborough hotel for a true example of one of the most beautiful yet inviting hotel bars in the world. ‘I have recently discovered Aux Merveilleux cake shop on the Old Brompton Road. It specialises in to-die-for meringue-based cakes. ‘The Gate restaurant in Hammersmith is wonderful. I’m always keen to try different cuisines and the food here is so delicious. ‘When friends visit, I take them to a concert at the Royal Albert Hall * p.64 – the appeal lies in the venue as much as in the entertainment. ‘Take a long stroll from Covent Garden into the city via all the small lanes, taking time to admire the beautiful old architecture and absorb the

history of London. ‘The view across the whole expanse of London from the top of the Shard * p.65 makes you realise just how vast and beautiful London is. The one from the top of Hampstead Heath is pretty impressive, too. ‘Use your legs and just walk. Keep away from the main thoroughfares and see what you can discover. As you cross from area to area you’ll sense the change of vibe. If you have to drive, a Vespa is the only way to feel truly liberated.’

Если вы собираетесь преобразить интерьер вашего дома, то у лондонских дизайнеров есть, что вам предложить, – говорит Ханна Льюис
globalblue.com
Беглый обзор социальных сетей и fashion-блогов дает понять, что мир моды и индустрия дизайна в последнее время все более тесно переплетаются. Для настоящего поклонника моды обновление гардероба зачастую сопряжено с обновлением домашнего интерьера, а большинство дизайнеров озабочены новыми коллекциями для дома не

меньше, чем модными показами. Если вам захочется освежить вид своей гостиной в этом году, то в первую очередь стоит обратить внимание на смелые принты молодых лондонских дизайнеров. Несмотря на свою непродолжительную историю, бренд Darkroom, появившийся в 2009 году, уже успел заметно утвердиться на дизайнерской сцене Лондона, открыв магазин на Lamb’s Conduit Street в районе Bloomsbury и отдел в универмаге Selfridges. Флагманский магазин бренда предлагает посетителям широкий ассортимент доступных и оригинальных предметов интерьера из разных стран мира, от подушек и покрывал до мягкой мебели, globalblue.com
контрастирующей с черными стенами салона. Основатели Ронда Дрейкфорд и Лулу Ропер-Колдбэк стараются оказывать всяческую поддержку начинающим дизайнерам, предлагая более выгодные условия сотрудничества. Дрейкфорд и РоперКолдбэк также выпускают собственную дизайнерскую серию под фирменным названием Darkroom, куда входят изделия, обычно пользующиеся наибольшим спросом. Образование в сфере графического дизайна, интерьера, текстиля и моды, а также совместное увлечение путешествиями помогает партнерам в создании креативных дизайнерских
85
коллекций, в которые они вкладывают всю свою душу. Их продукция, включает подушки, коврики, покрывала, тарелки, зеркала и многое другое. «Изначально мы хотели выпускать что-то оригинальное, что-то более смелое и яркое, чем то, что продается везде», – поясняет Ропер-Колдбэк. Эстетика Darkroom имеет характерно яркую палитру и необычные геометрические формы. Авторские узоры довольно разнообразны и абсолютно неотразимы. Здесь можно встретить все, от сложных принтов в этно-стиле до простых, но выразительных монохромных арабесок. В другом не менее примечательном квартале Лондона расположен флагманский магазин молодого дизайнерского бренда House of Hackney, учрежденного творческой семейной парой. Район Шордич с его старинными зданиями стал идеальным фоном для этого предприятия, которое с легкостью можно назвать одним из самых стильных магазинов Лондона. Интерьер бутика украшен смелыми фирменными принтами в оригинальном стиле, благодаря которым бренд получил свою славу. Одной из главных целей, которую ставили перед собой дизайнеры, основывая в 2010 году House of Hackney, было «положить конец доминированию бежевого
цвета в интерьере». Джавви М Ройл и Фрида Гормли непременно хотели создать поистине британский бренд. Являясь таковым, он оказывает поддержку местной индустрии, сотрудничая с лучшими производителями страны. Эстетика бренда также чисто британская, хоть и с сильным современным акцентом, что же касается фирменных принтов, то их основой стало национальное культурное наследие. В смелых растительных узорах прослеживается заметное влияние творчества Уильяма Морриса, художника Викторианской эпохи, который сыграл важную роль в истории британского текстиля. Также внимания заслуживает принт с изображением забавных животных Hackney Empire, названный в честь лондонского района, где появился бренд. Пожалуй, лучшим свидетельством нового симбиоза моды и дизайна может быть повальное увлечение модельеров домашним интерьером. Одним из таких примеров в сезоне весна-лето 2016 служит коллаборация брендов House of Holland и Habitat. Первый, основанный британским дизайнером Генри Холландом, известен многим своими актуальными и забавными творениями, а также смелым использованием цветов и узоров. Что касается Habitat, то этот культовый британский бренд еще с момента своего
86
основания в 1964 году был известен стремлением сделать стильный дизайн доступным для широкой аудитории. В лимитированную коллекцию войдут ключевые элементы текущей коллекции House of Holland, а переосмысленные принты появятся в серии изделий из текстиля. «Интерпретация нашей коллекции весна-лето 2016 для другой индустрии была веселым и увлекательным занятием. Мы брали наши психоделические принты из коллекций 1970-х годов и комбинировали их с новыми материалами и техниками для создания серии предметов для домашнего интерьера», – говорит Холланд. Новая коллекция несомненно будет столь же популярна, сколько и одежда бренда, кроме того такой шаг только расширит круг поклонников. Экспериментальная коллаборация House of Holland и Habitat не просто очередной проект для Холланда, это нечто большее. «Я с нетерпением жду момента, когда смогу начать работу над моей первой коллекцией интерьера. Недавно я купил свой первый дом и естественно тема мебели и дизайна для меня сейчас весьма актуальна, так что этот проект появился как нельзя вовремя». Если вы один из тех, кто неравнодушен к принтам, значит, сейчас самое время заняться интерьером. globalblue.com

Из Уст В Уста В лондонском Вест-Энде сосредоточены роскошные бутики крупнейших мировых брендов, тем не менее, знающие люди предпочитают для шоппинга восточную часть города и улицу Redchurch Street, – говорит Руайрид Притчард Каждый крупный город мира может похвастаться по-настоящему стильными

улицами, и Лондон здесь далеко не исключение. Несмолкающая Оксфорд-Стрит – мечта любого поклонника недорогих брендов, Mayfair – родина роскошных Маунт-Стрит и Бонд-Стрит, а лондонский ИстЭнд с улицей Redchurch Street одно из самых популярных мест среди стильных хипстеров. Это место имеет долгую и удивительную историю. Все началось с небольшой тропинки, соединяющей
районы Шордич и БетналГрин, но к 17 веку здесь начали появляться первые жилые дома. Пик застройки пришелся на 1730-е года, когда возникла потребность в новом жилье для рабочих текстильной и шелковой промышленности. С тех пор Redchurch Street пережила немало взлетов и падений, но недавняя реставрация позволила ей стать эпицентром культурной жизни восточного Лондона, обеспечив внимание не только со стороны
88
приезжих, но и среди местной богемы. Это место стало ассоциироваться с выдающимися талантами из движения «Young British Artists» (Трейси Эмин и Сара Лукас работали здесь в 1990-е годы), а также с рядом примечательных стрит-арт композиций. Сюда начали съезжаться не только художники, но и люди других творческих профессий, включая дизайнеров, которых привлекало индустриальное прошлое района. Сегодня самые креативные модные бренды из разных стран мира считают своим долгом открыть здесь свои магазины. Улица Redchurch Street – это прекрасное место для знакомства с новыми именами. В западной ее части французский лейбл APC и мультибрендовый бутик Aimé привносят в этот уголок восточного Лондона атмосферу парижского шика. По соседству с ними расположились шведская марка джинсовой одежды Nudie Jeans и традиционный британский лейбл Sunspel, ценимый многими за роскошные коллекции по доступным ценам. Многие мировые бренды также не остались в стороне. Так, итальянская марка Versus, являющаяся дочкой модного дома Versace, открыла на Redchurch Street свое представительство globalblue.com
наряду с американским фешнгигантом J Crew, чей бутик мужской одежды появился здесь в конце прошлого года. Приток международных брендов в район увеличился настолько, что обозреватели окрестили Redchurch Street новой «Бонд-Стрит Ист-Энда» и «самой модной улицей Лондона». Концептуальный мультибрендовый бутик Hostem открыл здесь свои двери шесть лет назад, и с тех пор стал своего рода визитной карточкой Redchurch Street. Широкое разнообразие международных брендов, включающее коллекции Comme des Garçons, Dries Van Noten и Loewe, обеспечило магазину признание модной лондонской элиты. На время летнего сезона Hostem переехал на соседнюю Old Nichol Street. Здесь же неподалеку расположился бутик дизайнера Трейси Ньюлс. Здесь посетителей ждут современные и оригинальные коллекции обуви. Перед изобилием модных магазинов Лондона порой сложно устоять, но шоппинг не единственное, чем манит Redchurch Street. Местные косметические и парикмахерские салоны сделали значительный вклад в образ района. Популярная среди лондонцев цирюльня Murdock, открывшаяся четыре года назад, предлагает широкий спектр услуг

для мужчин, от стильной стрижки и тримминга бороды до мужского маникюра. Painted Lady – салон красоты, оçормленный в винтажном стиле, среди прочего предлагает прически в стиле 60-х и 70-х годов наряду с комплексными косметическими услугами, в то время, как Barber & Parlour, расположенный на углу Redchurch Street и Club Row, предоставляет серию услуг как для мужчин, так и для женщин. Кулинарные предложения Redchurch Street включают множество уникальных каçе, ряд которых возглавляет список лучших заведений восточного Лондона. Помимо артизанского коçе
и вкусной еды, посетителей ждет спокойная и уютная атмосçера. Среди çаворитов – каçе Allpress, где подают коçе, зерна которого добыты с соблюдением всех этических норм. Еще одно популярное место для вечерних посиделок – каçе Albion. Будь то эксклюзивный салон красоты, оригинальное каçе или бутик с эклектичным выбором местных и международных дизайнерских брендов – обаянию Redchurch Street сложно не поддаться. А учитывая, что в этом году здесь запланирована целая череда новых открытий, то статус лучшей шоппинг-улицы Лондона для Redchurch Street явно гарантирован.

91 师推出了靠垫、地毯、床罩、餐盘、镜 子等种类繁多的产品，其设计核心则 是印花。 “我们的目标是创造与众不 同的东西——更为大胆、明亮、饱满” ，Roper-Caldbeck解释道。大胆与 图形化、运用几何形状和热烈色彩是 Darkroom的招牌美学。品牌使用的 印花大相径庭但总是格外醒目，从灵 感来自部落的层叠版画线条到简约但 强有力的单色图案。 穿过城市来到伦敦最酷的区域 之一，可以找到内行最爱House of Hackney的旗舰店。Shoreditch地区 风格独特的历史建筑是这间夫妻店的 完美背景，衬托着这间伦敦最时髦的 店铺之一。这家精品店内满满当当地 陈列着House of Hackney赖以成名 的大胆印花，是这种独特且无暇风格 的绝妙舞台。 成立于2010年的House of Hackney，以“打破室内装饰的沉

93 红教堂街无疑是发现新名字的 好去处。在街道西端，法国时尚品牌 APC与多品牌买手店Aimé将其巴 黎式极简风时尚带到伦敦东区。附近 则是瑞典牛仔服专家Nudie Jeans， 以及英国传统品牌Sunspel，这是奢 华基本款的最佳品牌之一。该地区 亦已开始吸引世界级大牌。意大利品 牌Versace的潮流副牌Versus，新近 在红教堂街上设店，美国时尚巨头 J Crew同样于去年在这条街上开设了 一间男装店。这些大品牌的涌入，使得 评论家们将红教堂街描述为“东区的 邦德街” ，以及“伦敦最时髦的街道”。 多品牌概念精品店Hostem六年 前在这条街上开门迎客，如今已成为 红教堂街的标志。这里贩售最具创意 与指向性的国际品牌，包括Comme des Garçons、Dries Van Noten 和Loewe等，该店——2016年夏天 将临时总部设于附近的Old Nichol Street——是伦敦时尚弄潮儿们的长 期心头好。值得关注的还有Tracey Neuls的同名店铺，陈列着伦敦最与众 不同的摩登鞋履。 虽说这些令人赞叹的时尚商品 组合不容忽视，但购物并不是红教堂 街赖以扬名的唯一。美容院和美发沙 龙同样在这条街上备受瞩目。这里是 全城衣着最为得体绅士们的常年最 爱，Murdock四年前迁入这里，为男 性提供从理发、修饰胡须到美甲等一 系列服务。The Painted Lady则是一 间复古主题美容院，提供一系列受60 与70年代时尚风格启发的发型与美妆 服务套餐，Barber & Parlour则在其 位于红教堂街与Club Row街角修葺 一新的宽敞空间内，为女性与男性提 供品项繁多的各类服务。 除去时装与美容，红教堂街上 还有东伦敦最热门的咖啡店与咖啡 馆，归功于这些店对于艺匠咖啡与 暖心食物的专注。其中值得一提的有 Allpress，提供从诚信来源良心采购
的咖啡豆。另一让人流连忘返之处是 Albion，是城中最热门的早午餐场 所之一。 无论是美容院与理发店呵护身心 的服务，东伦敦最好的咖啡馆，或是国 际与本土时尚品牌的无敌组合，红教 堂街的魅力让人无法抗拒。随着更多 商户在今年纷纷进驻，此处似将牢牢 确保其伦敦最佳购物街的新晋地位。
