Mouret has produced a capsule collection of S/S ’12 dresses available exclusively through his website. The three black silk jersey dresses with white leather floral appliqués already have a fan in Mulligan.
The Bafta-nominated actress wore a red version of Mouret’s midi-length Carstone dress to the Film Critics’ Circle Awards in London on Thursday evening. Mulligan also wore the dress earlier this month, to promote her new film, Shame, in Los Angeles.
Mouret sees the trio of dresses as a sartorial dose of sunshine for January shoppers.
‘It's about finding that tiny corner of paradise for your summer holiday—those little corners that still exist, perhaps a little village in the South of France, that have not yet been made all shiny and mass market by tourism,’ he said.
‘These clothes are about making it your responsibility to dress for that view of paradise—it’s a crafty attitude to the clothes, a touch of the bohemian attitude that lets you be part of that postcard.’
