Overview
- Mulberry named Christopher Kane creative director of women's ready-to-wear Thursday, with a runway debut set for September and a retail launch in January.
- CEO Andrea Baldo said the move advances the Back to the Mulberry Spirit plan, which centers on creativity, craft and a stronger brand voice beyond bags.
- Kane and his sister Tammy are working from Mulberry's Kensington Church Street studio toward a London Fashion Week show in September.
- The shift comes after first-half 2025–26 results showed group revenue down 4% to £53.9 million, while wholesale rose 36% through new partners John Lewis, Liberty and Harvey Nichols.
- The role restarts seasonal clothing at Mulberry for the first time since a 2020 license exit with Onward Luxury Group and brings Kane back to a major post after closing his label in 2023 and a 2024 Self-Portrait project.
