Renowned for his attention to detail and groundbreaking use of fabric, the German-born, London-based designer Markus Lupfer is much adored for his experimental and exceptional approach to knitwear fashion. Since debuting his eponymous label in 1998 — and launching his capsule high street collection Topshop in 1999 — Lupfer has forged ahead with his signature glam-grunge look that revels in shimmer and shine. Over the years, numerous successful consultancy projects with brands such as Cacharel, Mulberry and Ruffo have further showcased his inspired approach to remarkable knitwear and jersey tailoring. Creating wearable clothing with an ornamental feel, Lupfer’s individual style injects fresh energy into everyday basics and refreshes the classic knitwear genre. With celebrity fans that include rocker chicks Daisy Lowe, Gwen Stefani and Lily Allen, his eye-catching sequined sweaters have amassed a cult following worldwide.
