Mulberry launches Autumn Winter 2013!

British luxury brand Mulberry celebrates the beauty and mystery of the English countryside for its new Autumn Winter 2013 campaign, shot by renowned photographer Tim Walker, directed by Ronnie Cooke Newhouse and starring British model Cara Delevingne.

Shot on location at Shotover House in Oxfordshire, set designer Shona Heath recreated a snapshot of a wild and romantic woodland inside the manor house setting. As if from a scene in a fairy tale, a tree with flower-tipped branches and real owls find themselves in an opulent room with its traditional furniture and aristocratic heritage.

The key bags featured include Willow, the new Primrose, the iconic Bayswater and its new incarnation the Bayswater Double Zip Tote in the autumnal colour palette of Oxblood, Taupe, Navy and Emerald. Ready-to-wear in luxurious materials such as nappa leather, cashmere and camel-hair wool references classic silhouettes with a modern, Mulberry twist.

Mulberry launched the campaign exclusively on its website and social media channels, with galleries on Facebook and Google+ as well as sharing via Twitter Pinterest Instagram and Weibo

Emma Hill, Creative Director, Mulberry:
‘The Autumn Winter 2013 collection was inspired by the English countryside and cosy, familiar rural scenes but with a dark, mysterious and seductive veil. Traditional fables, botanical prints and the earthiness of the countryside by night all played their part, and this sense of dark beauty was beautifully captured by Tim and Ronnie for the campaign. After closing our London Fashion Week show, Cara was the first name in my mind for this season, she’s beautiful, bold and British!’

Ronnie Cooke Newhouse, Art Director, House and Holme:
‘An imaginative tableau of Cara Delevingne and her very lively woodland owl friends… Served up very English, very beautiful, and very, very cool.’
