LPA x Mulberry: Frankfurt Christmas Market

For anyone with a love of fashion, there are always going to be certain brands that you feel a particular connection to; brands that you have coveted since your sartorial horizons first expanded beyond what horrors you and your friends would beg your parents to buy you for school discos from Tammy Girl or Punky Fish or wherever else the cool kids were buying their age inappropriate fare at the time. Mulberry is certainly a brand I’ve adored from the moment I realised that striped yellow blonde highlights and t-shirts emblazoned with “fcuk” were not the epitome of awesome I previously believed them to be (I was a noughties teen, go figure). Over the years I’ve longed for an Alexa in every colour, spent an entire term’s student loan on a Tillie tote, waited outside Mulberry’s Bond Street flagship before it opened with the aim of ransacking their sale before anyone else, shot in West London with them, attended Wilderness Festival as their guest and, of course, watched their charming catwalk shows with a big fat grin on my face season after season. I love the products, I love the story and I love the image of quirky English elegance carefully honed my Mulberry. What with their recent (in fact, the morning of this shoot) announcement of a new Creative Director, now is a hugely exciting time for the company and I feel truly honoured to be involved even in a small way with their journey. Travelling to Frankfurt with Mulberry at the end of last month to shoot in the famous Christmas Market and attend the opening of their newly revamped flagship was a wonderful and extremely enjoyable experience. I’ll be telling you a lot more about the trip later this week but for now, here are some of the pictures we took…
