Designer of the Month

I have decided that from now on I will do a little 'Designer of the Month' piece every month, picking out a designer that has probably been overlooked by Vogue, but I feel deserves some recognition.
This month I have decided that Mulberry will be my designer of the month. This is mainly because the s/s collection recently was really exciting and innovative. Some other reasons for this are who else could team up chiffon and pvc and get away with it. I doubt even Vivienne Westwood would dare do that. Sportswear made from tweed fabrics; hoodies with sheer, floor length skirts and lemon yellow?
Any yet the models with their voluminous hair and dogs on leashes pull this off. I particularly  like the lace maxi dresses combined with waterproof macs and ribbed leggings.
Anoth thing that seperates the Mulberry collection from all of the other collections of this season is the prints. I know that this season is all about prints, yet Mulberry take the classic 'zebra print' and totally turn it on its head. Here, zebra print meant a print made entirely out of tiny little zebras, meaning that they have the upper hand in the print wars commencing on the catwalk.
Its very fresh, very summery and just what the fashion industry needs.
