Markus Lupfer
REVIEW
COMPLETE COLLECTION
LONDON, September 13, 2002
By Sarah Mower
Markus Lupfer doesn’t usually make overtly sexy clothes. When he arrived on the London scene in the late ’90s, his style was all about revisiting ladylike classics with an avant-garde sensibility. But things have moved on, and Lupfer has now revved up his ideas to suit a leggy London girl who likes to go out. He’s also caught on to several of the trends emerging on the city’s runways: short jersey dresses, bright colors, all-in-ones and raunchy ’80s-flavored sport clothes.Lupfer updated winter combat pants, in white cotton, by simplifying them—cropping them at the knee and putting them with high heels and a drapey cream lace tank. His all-in-ones came as either loose, faded dungarees or fitted overalls that had nothing to do with auto mechanics. His dresses, in single shots of orange jersey or mixed-print chiffon, came short and bloused up at the waist, to give a flippy volume to the skirt. Throughout the collection, Lupfer found fresh uses for his well-known skills with print and leather. There were dotty, orange-and-white plunging swimsuits, bold neon-pink zigzags and punched-out summer leathers made into mini trapeze dresses and skirts. Looks like he’s left his artsy librarian far behind.
