Mulberry ♥’s NY.
Following the opening of their brand new flagship store at 134 Spring Street last Tuesday, they celebrated their 40th birthday party by throwing a lavish bash on the roof top of Skylight West on Monday night.
We sipped margaritas and scoffed down the canapés before taking to the multi-coloured lit dance-floor to rock out to Kasabian who played a 45 minute set.
A balloon artist made us animal shaped balloons and hats which was a fun addition to the party.
My friend from New York Daily News and I set about looking for the celebs at the party.
Maggie Gyllenhaal: The actress quietly sat in the corner looking effortless and serene wearing a Mulberry Tille wrap dress from the Fall 2011 collection. She added a simple black blazer to her print dress and carried a Mulberry ‘Effie’ satchel from the Resort 2012 collection.
Solange Knowles: The face of Rimmel cosmetics is one of the nicest celebrities I have ever met. She’s beautiful and happy to talk to randoms like me. She wore a Mary Katrantzou Vienouas silk-georgette reversible shirt dress with Nicholas Kirkwood for Rodarte gold wedges whilst carrying a Mulberry ‘Fox Lock’ bag. She was impressed that I was able to name all her pieces (girl, this is what I do). I was stumped on her jewelery which she told me was by Lia Sophia.
Rose Byrne: As you know I have a mild large girl crush on Rose Byrne. The Australian actress was glowing wearing a Mulberry Resort 2012 gold pleat dress. I love the pop of colour via her aqua blue earrings. A white Mulberry mini ‘Taylor’ bag from the Resort 2012 collection and nude pumps I wasn’t too fond of completed her look.
Alexa Chung: My friend from the New York Daily News was very excited to see Alexa Chung at the party. After a little pep talk he went on his merry way to interview the British star. He returned long face saying, “I got nothing.” Whilst doing my “I told you so” dance, I observed that Alexa was wearing a really cute Mulberry ‘Polly Push Lock’ trench over a ruffle collar blouse. Black pants, Charlotte Olympia ‘Kitty’ flats and her namesake mini ‘Alexa’ from the Resort 2012 collection completed her look.
Michelle Trachtenberg: The ‘Gossip Girl’ actress wore a navy cowl-neck top with a Mulberry ‘Annie’ skirt. She completed her look wearing her co-designed Stuart Weitzman Young Hollywood Cares Collection pumps.
Louise Roe: The British TV presenter wore a Mulberry Tillie wrap dress with a devore feathered friends print. The fashion week front row regular completed her look with a Mulberry ‘Postman’s Lock’ cross-body bag.

Apart from ‘looks good’ you rarely read nice things about Alexa. Weird.
Solange surprisingly looks the best, for me.
I saw your tweets from this party FC, can’t believe you saw Alex Skarsgard, what a hottie!
He is a hottie…but not arrogant which I respect
Lol at your Alexa response. Nice to hear that Solange is actually a pleasant person.
Stay classy Alexa.
alexa is wearing the “kitty flats” by charlotte olympia.
the event looks so grab. could rose byrne look any more bored if she tried?
thank you
Did you had a change to talk with Michelle Trachtenberg? I soo love her on Gossip Girl
unfortunately i didn’t
Sounds like an awesome evening, so fun! I love all the gold backgrounds (not sure what all the shapes are?), and the blue/purple glowy floor under Solange, who is the best dressed of this bunch for me I do love seeing Maggie, and I think Alexa looks good, she should wear pants more often methinks.
To cover up her third world legs?
And I didn’t notice all those things until I scrolled up after reading your comment but that’s a pretty cool looking event! The gold is so fun!
Rose looks A-m-a-z-i-n-g. BDOW me thinks. Although she always looks a little bored, in reality she’s really shy. So fresh she’s a star
For me too, Rose is worthy of a BDOTW nomination. She was by far the best at this event in these pictures.
lol @ Alexa, I like her outfit for a change though.
I always read nice things about both of the Knowles sisters, they seem sweet.
You are not a random! Honestly, celebs should be lining up for you.
Lol..I feel like one in their presence
I love Solange’s look and her hair too. I like alexa’s look too, shame’s a horrible person.
I love Maggie Gyllenhaal and Alexa Chung’s looks!
I find it strnge that not a single person went for a clutch bag, or a bag worn as a clutch. It is also slightly ironic that what I liek least in pretty much every look is the bag.
Also, v. Jealous of you getting to see Alexander Skarsgaard and Solange sounds like a pleasure, unlike others, and her dress is amazing, I probably would have been salivating over that more than Mr. Skarsgard!
You saw Alexander Skarsgard, as in you were in the same room as him, as in YOU BREATHED THE SAME AIR.
Can I just have your life for like 5 minutes?
Ha ha, he is easy on the eye
Lol “Girl this is what I do” So true.
did you get to speak with Alex??
i am very jealous!
i saw a pic of him and Rose i want them 2 toget together
I could have but I didn’t know what to say to him apart from “you so pretty”
haha
i think i would probably go with “will you marry me, now?”
Great starting point
