From the hills of Sommerset, where the brand’s manufacturer has been based since its creation by Roger Saul in 1971, Mulberry distills an English spirit that lies between chic and fantasy the world over. Johnny Coca won’t take over as new creative director for the brand until next year. In the meantime, the team currently in place has united their efforts, their talent, and their savoir-faire to compose a patriotic Fall collection. For the 2015/2016 season, Mulberry is creating looks from its beautiful and discrete pieces, centered around motifs that are at times inspired by the English countryside, its abodes and cottages from the Georgian era, at times sporting oak leaf print, a reference to William Morris and his Arts and Crafts movement. Throughout the show, embroideries and prints appear alongside patterns of yesteryear on garments that are at the edge of perfection – absolutely elegant !
From blue to light pink with Earl Grey in between, the colors pair monotone neutral shades with a typically British brick red. It can be notably found on an oversized cape with graphic lines; made of filigree with a colder shade – off-white – the workshops took care to hand-paint it on Donegal knitted cashmere… A piece with mysterious elegance completed by a hood and a delicate and fine rope detail. This is the equation for Mulberry refinement.
