Yesterday I attended the Mulberry S/S 2011 collection. Being a UK brand that I’ve literally grown up with, it felt particularly special to see where it is now.


The setting felt like being in a giant English country garden, complete with bunny references and flower displays on walls and floating atop the center swimming pool which the models walked around.

The collection was about the Mulberry girl all grown up in classic lady like shapes and bold colours. The cobalt blue, chalk and raspberry shades really caught my eye and yes, of course the updated Alexa in Bengal Tiger Haircalf?? Um – yes please…

Everyone picked up victoria sponge cake on the way out. A slice of home from an iconic British label – lovely. (side note: I literally inhaled the cake in the cab going back uptown).

*I noticed Alexa Chung eating hers before we were even in the lift to leave!

ps. Enjoy the video I shot of me arriving and watching the show. See more pics of those attending the show—- > here.

*More shots of Alexa plus other random shots from NYFW to follow.

    Beautiful collection. Nice brights n animal print. When did you go Tuesday or Wed? I was there on Tuesday for Bradgey Mischka and it was mostly pastel colors. I feel like the room you were in is really small, no? I was in a huge pavillion on Tuesday. I assume they got different rooms set up then.

    I think this is one of my favorite collections I’ve seen so far. Love the cut and color of all the clothes. Classic shapes with a bold twist.

    You were so lucky to attend this show!!! I gasped out loud at some of these things, they are so beautiful, especially the back of that black gown and that cobalt blue dress is to die for!!!!
    I was going to save up for a PS1 bag next year, but I might have to put Mulberry at the top of the list. I would take any of these bags!!!

    Isn’t mulberry supposed to have a Target collection? I think I remember reading that somewhere last year. Anywho, this collection is so beautiful and sophisticated. It tells the tale of a womean who obviously has somewhere fabulous to go. A victoria sponge cake? Never heard of it, but sounds good.

    I couldn’t focus on her clothes because her hair color rocks!
