Mulberry celebrates the big 4-0 with music and dancing in New York!

Mulberry was high above the city on 12 September for the brand's 40th birthday celebration.

Fresh from celebrating the opening of the new US flagship store on Spring Street, Mulberry continues their New York state of mind thru to their 40th birthday party, held on the rooftop of Skylight West.

Many famous faces graced the evening much to fantastic live music fresh from a new initiative, The Mix Tape Tour which will feature either full or acoustic sets at a series of events covering the UK, Europe, the Far East and America. The night kicked off in spectacular fashion with Kasabian’s performance against a Seventies-style dance floor!

The rest of the night was themed as a children’s birthday party (it’s only right to get in touch with your inner child every now and then!) with a balloon artist making animal shapes and balloon hats for guests and of course party bags, complete with 40th Mulberry badges, tags and sticker sheets. Guests also enjoyed nostalgic foodie treats such as cheese and tomato toasties and fairy cakes aplenty.

Maggie Gyllenhaal, Rose Byrne, Alexa Chung, Annabelle Wallis, Marissa Montgomery, Roxanne Mesquida, Anna Della Russo, Bryanboy, Theo Hutchcraft and hot hunks Alexander Skarsgard, Jared Folowill all danced thru the evening.
