GUY
SALTER
Joining the army, bartering for Russian hats, working with HRH The Prince of Wales, launching London Craft Week – there isn’t much the ex-director of Asprey and Laurent-Perrier hasn’t tried his hand at. Now he’s predicting the future of luxury... LU X URY LONDON.CO.UK | 019
“Luxury needs to be redefined as a spectrum of people doing and making amazing things” - Guy Salter
Remember the days of blingy brand names and diamanté-encrusted logos on handbags? Thankfully, luxury has grown up, as have its customers, favouring skill, detail and quality over logos and price tags. So says Guy Salter, founder of London Craft Week – and he should know, having been at the helm of LaurentPerrier, Monica Vinader, Nyetimber, Asprey and Garrard, to name but a few (p.18). His five-day festival of artisans brings hidden talent, age-old traditions and exciting new technologies to the city, but it doesn’t start and end here. People continue to celebrate craftsmanship in their own way daily. Perfumers bottle their skill on Burlington Arcade, creating scents to bring treasured memories to life (p.68); renowned florists swap vases for visual art (p.16); and jewellers and watchmakers release their most innovative products yet (p.32).
