This time of year is always seen as being a bit dour. Celebrities are all sunning themselves on the beach, the pop charts come to a stand still and the weather is simply awful. Never fear, folks, the new spring ad campaigns are here to brighten January. My favourite is this blush, bright, rosy, snip of goodness. This time of year is always seen as being a bit dour.

Look at it……what’s not to like? It’s as British as can be and I wouldn’t expect anything less from Mulberry. I have extremely fond memories of Brighton, mostly childhood ones to be fair. The past playground of royalty, the scent of salt and vinegar mingling with candy floss always fills your nose as you fly around on waltzers. Shot by the genius lens handler, Tim Walker, this shot shouts playtime and fun and romance. Just some of the reasons why he’s my favourite fashion photographer.
I love this image and also enjoy the fact that the clothes seem to finally be on a level platform with the bags. This is most certainly an active push by the company and it worked – I looked at their catwalk stills again after seeing it.
On seeing most of the s/s 12 campaigns, the mood is definitely more free, fun and uplifting than the previous season. Designers went sombre for a/w 11, relying on the pull of classic cuts and colours to get them through the depth of the credit crunch. If people buy anything, they buy safe…. But now it’s pretty safe to say the creativity is back in earnest with prints, pop colours and maximism everywhere this season. Bring it on, I say!
