2012 London S/S Fashion Week: Mulberry

Inspired by the British seaside and all the campy fun that comes with it — donkey rides, ice cream, and too cute rain gear (it does rain alot in the UK!).

Inspired by the British seaside and all the campy fun that comes with it — donkey rides, ice cream, and too cute rain gear (it does rain alot in the UK!). That said, the palette was sweet as candy — literally — the colours are named lemon sherbet, candy pink, and marshmallow white. The style is playful, but luxurious — there are raincoats, many of them with oversized silhouettes or super-short lengths and paired with long dresses and skirts. It's a mix and match style that manages to be sporty, but totally feminine thanks to details like lace applique and silky fabrics. Mulberry is known for accessories, and the new travel collection, inspired by vintage steamer trunks, features metal corners and a luggage tag. Inspired by the prizes won along beach-side arcades, Mulberry added teddy rivets and twist locks to the iconic Alexa and Lily style.

  • Trends: Rain gear, short/long proportions, stripes.
  • Colours: Candy twists on soft colours: lemon, candy pink, marshmallow, and fudge.
  • Key Look: We love the proportion play — short jackes with sweet dresses; also the animal-print dresses are amazing.
  • Accessories: Shoes are woven sandals in mixed leather; the new bag collection is called the Travel Collection. The Alexa bag gets adorned by a mini-teddy bear rivet.
  • Who Would Wear It: Fun, eclectic girls like Kirsten Dunst or Alexa Chung.

    Which of Kristen Stewart's LFW Hairstyles Do You Like Best?

    Kristen Stewart showed off some new long hair extensions as she joined a double-denim clad Kate Moss front row at the Mulberry Spring 2012 show at London Fashion Week.

    Kristen Stewart showed off some new long hair extensions as she joined a double-denim clad Kate Moss front row at the Mulberry Spring 2012 show at London Fashion Week. It's for her role in the upcoming movie Snow White and the Huntsman which the Twilight actress is shooting now. For the actual show she wore it out and draped casually over one shoulder, but for the after party she sported a side braid with some volume at the top. Which style is best?
