Mulberry

Nov 2023

For the Mulberry Holiday 2023 Accessories Campaign, photographer Esther Theaker masterfully bridges the gap between raw organic beauty and high-fashion polish. The project leans into an editorial aesthetic that celebrates the tactile quality of leather against the weathered surfaces of nature, juxtaposing structured handbag silhouettes against the wild, unruly textures of forest riverbanks and tall, swaying grasses. By employing a consistent natural light technique, the campaign achieves a serene, cinematic quality that feels both grounded and aspirational. Models Okay Kaya and Bibi Abdulkadir bring a dynamic, soulful presence to the frames, styled by Eliza Conlon in a wardrobe that ranges from vibrant, voluminous silks to sharp, minimalist bodices. This interplay of color—from deep burgundy and teal to striking orange and lime green—creates a visual rhythm that highlights the metallic clasps and precise craftsmanship of the accessories. Whether set against the backdrop of a quiet lake at golden hour or the stark contrast of a studio wall, the campaign successfully elevates the functional accessory into a statement piece. It is a sophisticated, minimalist exploration of the holiday season that prioritizes mood and atmosphere, ensuring the focus remains firmly on the enduring elegance of the Mulberry brand identity through a series of intimate, thoughtfully composed lifestyle portraits.
