One upside to the end of a heatwave summer is that we can all start dressing properly again (the fewer the flip-flops we see the better) so there’s something of a fashion thread running through our September issue. First off we’re telling the inside story of how London’s new creative quarter – and central hub of London Fashion Week – has come to life over the last decade, luring people back to The Strand once more. Iconic brand Jimmy Choo is marking three decades at the heart (or sole) of the city’s fashion scene so we sat down with its creative director, Sandra Choi, to talk about inspiration and why you’ll find the best-dressed people shopping for antiques. Elsewhere we’ve browsed the rails at the coolest second-hand market in town, caught up with Harry Styles’ favourite new designer, dined at the most stylish restaurant around, discovered the cures for boring menswear, and spoken to some of the industry’s most insightful names to see how sure a footing the city’s fashion scene is on. Regular columnist Jimi Famurewa reflects on how our ‘it’ restaurants are now, at last, all about culinary invention rather than cosseting blandness, while our guest columnist Joel Golby finds joy in ordering drinks you might be inclined to call disgusting. Beyond fashion we zoom in on the multi-hyphenate star of the Design Museum’s latest exhibition, chart the rise of London’s Desi pubs, and find out why real-life singles nights have become the hottest ticket around – just in time for cuffing season. Consider this issue the must-have accessory for AW26.
Cheers,
Richard MacKichan, print editor.
