Mulberry

  • Emily Macrae
Mulberry’s Autumn Winter 2012 collection was inspired by Where the Wild Things Are; both the picture book by Maurice Sendak and Spike Jonze’s film adaptation. A colour palette of black and gold, furry textures and strange creatures lent an air of darkness and mystery to the Fashion Week celebrations.

Heavy black blind debossed cards were dipped into liquid metal paint to create the Fashion Week dinner invitations. The illustrated texture represents the fur of the Mulberry monster – the Autumn Winter 2012 mascot. Guests at the show and dinner were treated to mysterious gold foiled masks and a box of chocolate monster truffles. The waiters wore black Converse shoes dipped in liquid metal paint, gold foiled T-shirts and flocked monster print aprons.
