Emma Hill, the creative director of Mulberry, says she was watching The Virgin Suicides while designing the spring collection, and with all the seventies prints and nursery colors that make up the film, it’s easy to see her inspiration translated to her latest offering of clothes and accessories. On Monday night, she took those cinematic cues to the next (and decidedly more optimistic) level with a night of girlish pop, candy, and balloons at the Chateau Marmont. But despite the springtime feel inside, outside was an icy downpour, and while the wintry weather might have made the Brits feel at home, the Los Angelenos were quite relieved when the party was moved into Bungalow 1, complete with a roaring fire.
This was Hill’s first official trip to L.A. in her new role for the brand, andLiberty Ross and Laury Smith (both in black leather pants) welcomed the designer to town along with other guests like Kate Bosworth, Lily Collins, Gia Coppola, and, of course, a Mulberry-raincoat-clad French bulldog named Archie that made the rounds after dinner.
Another highlight was the Fuji cameras that served, along with pastel bouquets of flowers, as the table centerpieces. Their white design made for a chic accessory, and as the night went on, everybody tried their hand at a little amateur photography. Late-night party crashers Orlando Bloom andAlexander Skarsgard arrived after dinner to pose for Kate Bosworth, whileDJ DAniel L’amour created the perfect sound track for the festive scene.
But the proof is definitely in the pictures below.
