Mulberry Spring/Summer Collection 2014
There was Associate in Nursing air of anticipation this morning as fashion spectators concentrated into Claridge's for today's Mulberry show, Emma Hill's final assortment for the house (she formally leaves her post as artistic director tomorrow).
Her exit may be colored with unhappiness, bring it to mind was Hill United Nations agency catapulted British bag maker into a global whole - launching off-the-shelf too - and every one delivered in equal measures of wit and gloss, however if she was feeling a trifle mournful of her departure there was no sign of it here.
The floor was ordered in astro turf pop with daisies. At the doorway, a stately urn crammed with foxgloves and different contemporary flowers, and a painted mural that represented a lush garden scene with a passing-by peacock. Inside, common ivy and roses climbed the walls and white doves perked up. it absolutely was like we have a tendency to were here to celebrate a marriage, not a last hurrah.
Cut to a stirring recording of Winston Churchill's voice on crackled loudspeaker: "This house we've got designed along, brick by brick, stone by stone, this house we have a tendency to decision home..." it absolutely was a poignant moment for all of a second, till Our House by Madness came screeching and out shot Cara Delevingne in a very silvery jacquard coat. This was a set that ticked off several Mulberry signatures - trousers suits, splashy floral silk dresses, animal skin and calf panelled T-shirts, raffish peacoats with heart lapels, sheer stripe knits, and white flocked culottes in starched gabardine (even the requisite dog walked out on a lead) - however it fell a trifle flat compared to previous seasons. It merely uncomprehensible those have-to-have things that the women on today's front row - Alexa Chung, Rebecca Hall, Tallulah Harlech - and girls the globe over, kill for.
