Mulberry's 'Beyond Heritage' Event for Spring/ Summer '18

It is currently one of the most prestigious events in the fashion calendar; London Fashion Week. All over the city are catwalks, talks and special events as part of the one-week festival held in the capital.

In celebration of Mulberry’s Spring/ Summer ’18 collection launch, they had taken over Spencer House in central London for the weekend (17-18 Feb) to host ‘Beyond Heritage’ to celebrate England’s heritage and the brand’s own.

"Mulberry is a very British brand; Everything about it oozes Britishness. Today demonstrates how important heritage is not only to the brand but to us as well." Saskia Frimpong, 18.

Mulberry had also taken over the garden where they had built a temporary space for the main fashion show and to house the weekend festivities which included presentations on how to style the new collection with Vogue and a talk with stylist company Elkin. Between the house and the temporary space was a giant gorgeous pink wall that had flowers running from one end to the other.

The temporary space had been set up for the day’s event with chairs in the middle for the LA-born stylist duo Brit + Kara from Elkin and Hannah Almassi from Who What Wear UK. Behind them was the new Spring/ Summer collection which had been worn on the catwalk the day before. On the other side of the room housed the benches you only see during fashion week.

The stylists made comparisons between LA style and British style, exclaiming “you’re too cool for us!” Pointing out how trends don’t really work that well in the UK whereas, LA is based heavily on trends.

After the talk, there was a chance to look around the house which was stunning. Being a part of the LFW festivities was really fun and an absolute dream.
