People & Perspectives: The Designers

People & Perspectives: The Designers

As part of our ongoing commitment to celebrate and nurture the best of contemporary British fashion, we check in on five designers from past Mulberry collaborations – Priya Ahluwalia, Richard Malone, Nicholas Daley, and the design duo Stefan Cooke.

Across a series of videos and stills shot in their studios and creative spaces, each designer speaks candidly about their work, processes, and inspiration; as well as updating us with what they’ve been up to creatively since their Mulberry collaborations.

The Designers is the third iteration of People & Perspectives, our cultural platform to showcase the stories that matter to us.

Stefan Cooke

Design duo Stefan Cooke and Jake Burt understand the importance of nostalgia and the appreciation of what has been before, but never at the expense of looking forward – a progressive mindset which is mirrored in the pair’s ongoing pre-loved collaboration with Mulberry.

Priya Ahluwalia

For Priya, collaborating with Mulberry was like finding her sibling in the fashion industry; a relationship in which she could ask questions and be curious - an open way of working which she has since applied to her own team.

Nicholas Daley

With his parents running one of the earliest reggae clubs in Scotland, music was destined to be a driving inspiration for Nicholas Daley. His collections explore how roots reggae continues to influence British counterculture.

Richard Malone

For Richard Malone, playfulness adds humanity to his sculptural designs – with the designer attributing this humour to his Irish upbringing.
