Markus Lupfer Resort 2012 Film



Once upon a time I was quite a fan of Markus Lupfer. I had a penchant for his collaboration for Topshop in particular, and had assimilated a small collection of his signature knit sweaters with large, yet simple, sequin motifs, until I saw Kerry Katona wearing one whilst picking up her £1 jacket potatoes and beans in Iceland. Since then, he's been pretty much off my fashion radar, but I love this short film he's created featuring the gorgeous, Florence Welch. The film embodies the style of those videos which teachers would show you in a school science lesson where, despite it being 2001, they would insist on using films from the archives of the early seventies. I clearly remember one which vividly depicted how just one sneeze can shower about 50 people in the vicinity with snot particles. I have been mentally scarred ever since. Sadly, such reminiscing overshadowed my acknowledgement of the collection in this instance, but I always love to watch designers' short films and this one is well worth a watch.

Breton

Classic, classic, classic and what's not to love. I can confess I've not worn a breton style top since it was forced upon me against my will on my 12th birthday....but looking back at those photos, the top looks a lot better than my twelve year old fashion oblivious brain ever incorporated....(which incidentally makes me marvel at Tavi some more...).
However, now the time has come I feel, to invest in one of these classic pieces. I'm not such a fan of it's sailor connotations, so I'm looking for something with a 'modern take' and probably a top rather than a dress as my hips really aren't asking to be exaggerated any further, but there's so many places to look and so many pieces to choose from, where are you meant to start?

Markus Lupfer Knits

As I said in the last post, I'm in love with knitwear for this season...knitted dresses, long thick knitted socks and very big...boyfriend-that-eats-too-much size jumpers. I'm in the process of hunting down....all of these lovelies by Markus Lupfer.
