Mulberry
Mulberry is a juxtaposition of British style – cool city chic and the pretty, handcrafted aesthetic of the countryside.
Established in 1971 in Somerset, England, Mulberry is renowned for its fine leather and IT bags. It is the birthplace of the must-have handbags – the Bayswater and Alexa.
Mulberry Spring / Summer 2011
Paper roses floating across a swimming pool, created the enchanting setting of an English Country garden at Mulberry. Larger than life paper dolls, watering cans and roses all immediately drew you into the magic of Mulberry.
Models rocked striking red hair, and even adorable dogs, at the Mulberry Spring / Summer 2011 collection. From shirt dresses with Peter Pan collars to the sweetest of blouses – Mulberry is the epitome of feminine, quirky, elegance. The colour palette of camels, pinks, purples, blues and faded denim added to the adorable factor…

Fashion Editorial
‘Viva La Revolucion’ – Vogue Australia
Bold, Vibrant Colour; Eccentric Prints & Patterns; Incredible Location…
‘Viva La Revolucion’ is a feast for the eyes of some of the most exquisite looks from the Spring / Summer 2011 collections.
Today I brought the March issue of Vogue Australia and instantly fell in love with the feature editorial – ‘Viva La Revolucion’. And that cover! This gorgeous cover is one of my favourite Vogue Australia covers of all time! I love the model; the pose; the use of colour; and how there are no words advertising the contents – just the bold image and ‘Vogue’ title. So strikingly beautiful!
Featuring Alina Baikova, the editorial was shot on location in Mexico by Nicole Bentley. With looks from Prada, Stella McCartney, Gucci, Giambattista Valli, Bally and Mulberry; ‘Viva La Revolucion’ is a celebration of intoxicating colour.
Be inspired for next season with bold colour blocking, mixed prints and some darling hats….
Happy Saturday! xx
