catching artwork has previously

This striking neckpiece (£60),
featuring pale pink ostrich feathers
and delicate rose-toned chains,
is part of the latest collection
from London-based jewellery
brand Orelia. The fairy-tale feel
of the collection is a reference
to the wonders its globetrotting
creators have encountered during
their travels. Launched in 2007,
Orelia is known for high-quality
costume jewellery, which features
Swarovski crystals, semi-precious
stones and – as here – feathers.
Look out for the Create Your Own
range, exclusive to Topshop’s

great way to personalise your own

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

Veteran British brand
Mackintosh opened its new
fagship on Conduit Street in
Mayfair at the tail end of last year.
The interior is minimalist without

fttings. The space heralds a new
era for Mackintosh, which is
best known for waterproof coats;
indeed, the abbreviation ‘mac’ is
often used as a generic name for
the garment. Alongside the iconic
outerwear, customers will fnd
full collections for men and
women, including shirting,
knitwear, tailoring and a new
range of accessories. rd

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. When it comes to
reinventing your living space for
2016, a bold print can make all the
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

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 tribal-
inspired 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

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 anthropo-
morphised 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
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

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

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
WORD ON
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.

Redchurch Street’s recent reinvention as the epicentre of east London’s modern art and design scene has put it firmly in the spotlight
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 develop-
ment 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
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

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

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

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-to-
roastery 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 SOCIETYAfternoon 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
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 Japanese-infuenced gateaux, meaning there’s something to tempt everyone into an indulgent afternoon treat.
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.

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.

more indulgent can also have a

JOHNSTONS OF ELGIN
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.

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 Londonelliotrhodes.com
Above (clockwise from left): Woolrich store; the view from Hutong restaurant at the top of the
Shard; Ham Yard Hotel
74 | GU I DE
‘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.’
‘The view from the Shard makes you realise how vast London is’

Если вы собираетесь преобразить интерьер вашего дома, то у лондонских дизайнеров есть, что вам предложить, – говорит Ханна Льюис
38: Pattern Of Success
Цена Успеха
РУССКИЙ ПЕРЕВОДБеглый обзор социальных сетей и fashion-блогов дает понять, что мир моды и индустрия дизайна в последнее время все более тесно переплетаются.

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,
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 Ропер-Колдбэк 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

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.

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 Ист-Энд 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 Бетнал-Грин, 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

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
наряду с американским фешн-гигантом 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.

Holland的品牌，因其清新俏皮的设

为家居品牌带来与服装同样的成功，
还会为设计师带来更多新拥趸。
这次合作是House of Holland
与Habitat双方的明智之举，然而对
Holland而言不只如此：这同样是非
常私人的。“首次开发室内家居线我
