Hot and Sticky Mulberry Ad for SS'12

There is a spring awakening in the fantastical land of fashion, and it’s got something to do with the stylish dwellers across the pond. Mulberry released its spring/summer 2012 ad campaign, which was bursting with large, flashy melted ice cream cones, dandy stripes, and hot hues.

Mulberry’s latest campaign has that boardwalk “honky tonk” air to it. The series of ads was photographed by Tim Walker, and Lindsey Wixson and Frida Gustavsson were the two models featured in the whimsical spread. Besides the vibrant, coastal boardwalk background, the Mulberry models showed off the bright spring jackets that were paired with festive wedges, electrifying the surrounding area. While Mulberry’s spring/summer 2012 ad was loud in color, they toned it down by matching jolts of yellows, blues, and pinks with earthy neutral tones. It was sheer, sticky genius on the Brit brand’s part.

Mulberry Shows Lana Del Rey Some Love

Singer Lana Del Rey may have suffered a heavy backlash from audiences following her SNL performance, but Mulberry has lovingly embraced her. For Mulberry's show at London Fashion Week, the line premiered its latest bag inspired by the muse, the Del Rey.

The Del Rey is a white leather bag with Mulberry’s trademark gold hardware. Since Alexa Chung gained mainstream recognition after inspiring Mulberry's Alexa bag, perhaps the fashion world could become Lana Del Rey's saving grace.

Along with naming a bag after her, Mulberry sat Lana in the front row of their runway show, along with Michelle Williams and Elizabeth Olsen. She performed at the after party with a piano instead of a band. Mulberry says that the 25-year-old has "the style of Old Hollywood," and creative director Emma Hill was “captivated by her soulful, melancholy voice and the nostalgic beauty of her 'Video Games' single and [music] video.” Lana Del Rey’s musical talent may be controversial among critics, but the bag she inspired, which starts at $1,250, is agreeably chic.

That '70s Shoe

Let's take a moment to appreciate height and heft, because seriously stacked platforms are back! Swap out your warm winter boots for a pair of sky-high, chunky platforms, and prepare yourself for the 2012 spring season. These seventies-inspired shoes were quite popular back in the fall of 2011, especially among some of the most fashion-forward women who have walked the red carpet, like Sarah Jessica Parker and Kate Beckinsale, just to name a few. Now, renowned designers by the likes of Kenneth Cole, Mulberry, Nina Ricci, Michael Kors, and Charles David are bringing this trend into the limelight with vibrant colors, eclectic patterns, and thick platform heels that are tall enough to make Lady Gaga proud.

Available in a chic assortment of designs, this trending footwear can be dressed up with your sexiest LBD or dressed down with a pair of your favorite jeans. Bold, versatile, and undeniably groovy, this fashion staple can suit almost anyone's personal style and is an absolute must-have for the fast approaching spring season.

All Around the Mulberry Bush...

….the monkey chased the weasel; the monkey thought ‘twas all in fun…POP goes the weasel! Until I sat down to write this post I had completely forgotten about how often I used to sing that as a kid (fairly frequently if I remember correctly). Now that I remember though, enough about my childhood antics. The real point of this post, though you may think it is to reminisce about the good ol’ days, is to make you aware of the Mulberry for Target collection that will launch on October 10th. The English luxury handbag house, which, according to creative director Emma Hill is neither uptight nor self-conscious (but can we really believe her?), promises to debut an affordable line that echoes the brand’s funky style and character. It is appropriate then, that this special collection will feature a large satchel in pink leopard print. Whether you plan to take the bags to work or out on the town, the Mulberry for Target collection does not disappoint.
