One of my highlights of London Fashion Week had to be Markus Lupfer’s presentation at the beautiful Two Temple Place. Known for making the novelty jumper chic with his signature sequin embellished sweaters with fun logos and gap-tooth smile, Markus Lupfer is continuing his pop-culture inspired pieces into autumn/winter 2012, with knits emblazoned with mischievous Latin phrases such as ‘Omnia Vincit Amor’ aka ‘Love Conquers All’, and ‘Carpe Diem’.
I think everyone who went left the presentation/day party said that they wanted a trunk full of Markus Lupfer sparkly jumpers, especially all the ones with the comic references, and predictably I was no different. I have fallen in love with the ‘Ka-Pow’ and the ‘Boom’, as well as the sequinned masked animals – the rabbit is gorgeous and I need in my life!!!
As well as strikingly cool knits, Markus Lupfer presented a strong tailored range of trousers and jackets in stunning forest green and raspberry shades, mixed in with patterned silk blouses, brocade dresses, and lots of leather. This is a collection moving away from just quirky jumpers to an impressive range of womenswear and I loved it.
Love the RelativeMO girlies working their sequinned lips!!!
