With such a busy backdrop (a 14 foot wall covered in the same print used for a vast majority of their garments), the Spring 2010 RTW collection from Mulberry was easily detracted from, leaving the audience with headaches and carousel horse optical illusions dancing in their heads.
Despite the big bows and pouffy sleeves, the cohesive collection had a 1980s feel to it, from the models' volume-enhanced, straight-crimped hair to carousel horse print, to the choice of color, and fringed out hobo bags.
