We told you a few months ago that Mulberry’s next designer collaboration will be with artist, Julie Verhoeven, well images of her collection has been released to the media.
As the Daily reports, the quirky line consists of a Mulberry bags, scarves, dresses and T-shirt designs.
“The brief was to be both vibrant and bold and a little cheeky,” explained Verhoeven. “We worked around the traditional English rose icon with thorny surprises – surrealist and nonsense elements thrown in to the mix. English eccentricities and traditions gone a little askew, but with fondness and femininity.”
The collection features a $1,995 smock dress with ribbon appliqué detail and a large quilted chain handle bag priced at $1,195. Also in the collection are two tees, priced at $99 each, and a giant silk scarf. The print on the products is a collage of flowers, faces, and graphics in pink, rose, and white on a black background.
The Julie Verhoeven and Mulberry Fall 07 collaboration will be in stores in September.

That bag is too Chanel. When will people stop copying original designs and just change bits and pieces. What a shame, I do like the coloured appliqués though.
