Guests included Nicola Roberts, Steve Coogan, Julia Bradbury and rugby players Josh Lewsey and James Haskell.

Last night Mulberry got together with Tim Walker to throw one hell of a party to celebrate his new exhibition “Story Teller”. The party took place at Somerset House, with a full guest list including Helena Bonham Carter, Tim Burton, Cara Delevingne, Olympia Campbell and Kate Moss.

With this explosion of the senses, guests were treated to a much needed elderflower and apple Berrytini, the infamous tipple of the day provided by Chase Distillery, a delicious energy boost as the Friendly Fires took to the stage! The free exhibition runs from now until the 27th January 2013, it’s not to be missed!
