Christopher Kane debuts Mulberry collection with axe motif in London
Designer Christopher Kane presented his debut show for Mulberry in London this afternoon.
Gardening metaphor guides the new line
Kane explained that cutting back a tree allows it to grow again and bloom better. He stated that an axe is a fundamental element of the collection. The design team incorporated this idea through angular shoulder bags and recurring cutout patterns.
Palette features neutrals with bright accents
The models walked on a pristine white carpet to match the collection's blank-slate palette. While gray, white, and black dominated the range, a neon orange hooded parka worn as a minidress provided contrast. Heritage checks also appeared in an Oxford shirt and a PVC trench coat.
Scottish influences shape specific garments
A plum cashmere sweater featured a jagged hemline to represent cool prep style. Kane derived the slate gray color of a tiered skirt from his homeland of Scotland. The brand leaned into Britishisms without relying solely on them for the designs.
