Meghan Collison is the beautiful star of our Spring Summer 2013 campaign, shot by renowned British photographer Tim Walker.
Creative director Emma Hill said of Meghan: “I love her beauty – classic but with a sexy impishness which is super-Mulberry! She has so much character and brings an edginess to the prettiness of the colours and perfectly works the cuts and shapes of the featured styles.”

Autumn Winter 2012 has now launched online and in stores. The campaign, featuring model Lindsey Wixson and two giant furry forest creatures, was shot on location on Blackheath Common, Surrey, in the UK by renowned British photographer Tim Walker.
We take you exclusively behind the scenes on the shoot.
Our Autumn Winter 2012 campaign is a beautiful and evocative series of images shot by renowned British photographer Tim Walker.
The story plays on the romance and darkness of children’s fairytales, inspired by creative director Emma Hill’s visions of explorers, mysterious stories and fantasy travels. It features Lindsey Wixson in her third campaign for us, travelling deep into the woods and meeting two giant furry forest creatures.
With huge thanks to Ronnie Cooke Newhouse and Stephen Wolstenholme at House and Holme, Tim Walker, Andy Hillman, Lindsey Wixson, Jane How, Sam McKnight, Val Garland, Emma Hill, Georgia Fendley and everyone else in the team for creating and bringing to life our Autumn Winter 2012 campaign.
Set Designer Andy Hillman created the fantastic world of melting ice-creams and giant candy sticks of rock for our Spring Summer 2012 campaign. He has worked with photographer Tim Walker on many campaigns and shoots, including features in Vogue. He often works with oversized props and with large scale set installations.
The oversized props for the campaign shoot are amazing! What was your starting point for their creation?
Thank you. I suppose the real starting point is the slight “wrong-ness” of the seaside, it’s a Victorian Circus of stripes, designs and colours which has been laminated with varying elements of the decades since. It’s not planned or designed, it’s just evolved. I think there’s lots of starting points amongst that lot if you look!
How long did it take to make a giant melting ice-cream cone or a stick of rock?
It took three weeks to create all the props for the shoot.
You’ve worked with Tim Walker numerous times now, how is it to work with him?
Haha, I know whatever I say here will cringe him out if he reads this. He is a pleasure to work with and for and easily one of the most creative and inspiring people I know.
How do you think English seasides and the eccentricities they come with compare with seasides around the world?
I think the British have the market sewn up for eccentrics and as a lot of them also enjoy the beach we must be beyond compare! I love British beaches but I prefer mine with dunes, cricket and picnics.
How did you get into the fantastical world of set design, and can you tell us about your most memorable designs or shoots?
I was lucky enough to understudy and assist an amazing designer for four years; it was a fantastic education into sets. Staying on the topic of the seaside and beaches, we once built a bathroom on a Sicilian Beach for a shoot which was supposed to be flooding as if you had left the tap on. It took three long days with the wind blowing sideways and sand clinging to everything. We dragged it to the water’s edge to allow the tide to roll back in and “flood” the set. We waited and waited as the sea crept nearer. Finally the second the first meaningful wave hit, the whole thing fell apart, or exploded, I’m not quite sure which!
The Spring Summer 2012 campaign, shot by renowned British photographer Tim Walker and featuring models Lindsey Wixson and Frida Gustavsson.
We were so excited to have Lindsey Wixson and Frida Gustavsson model for our Spring Summer 2012 campaign. Their natural, effortless beauty worked really well against the eclectic, candy-coloured Mulberry beach scene.
Hair stylist Malcolm Edwards explained, “Both girls have gorgeous golden locks, so I decided to run with that and add some hair that I had hand dyed. I mixed a bright sunflower yellow with a burnt orange and it blended really well with the girls’ natural tones, but gave a surreal pop of colour at the same time!”
Here are a few exclusive shots of Frida and Lindsey on location on Brighton Beach, their smiles stayed put from sunrise to sundown!

Mulberry has hit the beach for Spring Summer 2012, piling into retro caravans for a Seventies summer of fun. Inspired by the great British seaside – piers, arcades, donkey rides and sticks of rock – our new season is a riot of colour, classic British summers and camping cool.
Our seasonal campaign was shot by renowned British photographer Tim Walker on location in Brighton in front of its iconic pier and seafront.
Creative director Emma Hill and brand director Georgia Fendley want to say a huge thank you to everyone involved on the day’s shoot: our gorgeous models Lindsey Wixson and Frida Gustavsson, photographer Tim Walker stylist Edward Enninful, Ronnie Cooke Newhouse and her team at House and Holme, hair stylist Malcolm Edwards, make-up artist Val Garland, set designer Andy Hillman and the whole production team.
The Autumn Winter 2011 campaign, shot by renowned British photographer Tim Walker and featuring models Tatiana Cotliar and Julia Saner.
The Autumn Winter 2011 campaign and movie launched last week to celebrate our darkly beautiful collection. Inspired by Emma Hill’s vision for the collection and created under the direction of Ronnie Cooke Newhouse, the campaign was shot by renowned British photographer Tim Walker and styled by Edward Enninful with set design by Shona Heath.
Shot on set in a beautiful country estate in Oxfordshire, Shotover House, home to the most welcoming family who kindly allowed us – foxes, giant birds and all – to transform their home into a fairytale Mulberry vision of bonkers English country life.
Models Julia Saner and Tatiana Cotliar brought a beautiful innocence and playful charm to the shoot and were such a pleasure to work with. Tati entertained the team all day with her fabulous crazy stories and Julia bravely closed the shoot with a modelling first – cuddling a live fox!
It’s not every day that we get to set up a giant owl or autumnal debris inside a beautiful manor, a huge thank you to everyone involved with creating our fantastical new season campaign.
