EDITOR’S LETTER
ZING TSJENG
“Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking.” The words of a fictional editor ring in the ears of real-life ones at this time of year. So expect nothing that might irk the soon-to-return Miranda Priestly in this, our spring issue, where we concentrate on green shoots strictly of the proverbial nature. As London’s Lunar New Year celebrations draw to a close, it feels much more like the beginning of something than January ever did. One trend blossoming into full view is the clubbification of hospitality: a litany of new members-only establishments, restaurants with secret Whatsapp numbers and hush-hush, invite- only club nights. We speak to those on the inside about the rise of the city’s new access economy. There are also tales of revival – like that of the gen Z brands bringing fashion back to London factories, the hotel giving new life to Whiteleys shopping centre in Bayswater, and the V & A’s celebration of designer Elsa Schiaparelli’s resurgent legacy. Elsewhere, milliner Stephen Jones, a true London icon, gives us his neighbourhood guide to Covent Garden; the great Richard Corrigan shares his recipe for a St Patrick’s Day sweet treat; and sought-after garden designer Butter Wakefield talks us through her work uniform (not a floral in sight, actually). All that and some seasonal takes from our regular columnists Hannah Crosbie (on why you should be sipping saké), Jimi Famurewa (on our dining scene’s love of the reboot) and Laura Jackson (on a gentler kind of spring-clean). Spring is springing, basically. Time to get out there and enjoy it. Cheers, Richard MacKichan For your daily Broadsheet update, head to broadsheet.com/london and @broadsheet.london, and sign up to our newsletter.
