08.01.2011- Mulberry's Secret Garden

When I saw Mulberry's SS11 collection from New York Fashion Week, I adored it. The feminine, flowery pieces really stood out, as did the pastel colour palette. This week, we got to see more of the collection as Mulberry unveiled the accompanying ad campaign, shot by Tim Walker, starring Lindsey Wixson, Nimue Smit and a rather cute piglet...

I love how the campaign captures Emma Hill's inspiration for this collection: Frances Hodgson Burnett's The Secret Garden and the 1975 documentary Grey Gardens; it also instantly reminds me of spring, thanks to the stunning array of hydrangeas on display (I'm now seriously considering how feasible it is to have a room solely decorated with flowers!) And, if you're agonising over which of the new season bags to plump for, why not follow Lindsey and Nimue's lead and accessorise with the whole lot?

As well as the charming Tillie bag, which is forecast by those in the know to be this season's Alexa, my pick from the collection are these gorgeous Rose Gold Oxford Flats:

Heaven in shoe form, don't you think?

What are your thoughts on Mulberry's SS11 ad campaign? And what did you think of the collection?

* I also want to say a massive, huge and enormous thank you to you all for your lovely feedback on my last post, it really does mean the world and I've loved reading all your comments. ♥ *
