The Mulberry Fall 2013 collection was displayed at this year's London Fashion Week. The event was the site of the label's up and coming couture which was showcased via layers upon layers of fabric.
This Fall 2013 line manages to convey shape in spite of the loose cuts and excess of fabric. Mulberry has accomplished this via its oversize blazers and trench coats, pieces that are certainly practical for the autumn season that it has been specifically made for. This eclectic lot was further exaggerated with Mulberry's incorporation of a diverse set of accessories, seen in the small to large size handheld totes. Best of all was its use of bright to dim color schemes as the bags were lined with yellow, teal and camel fabrics.
