Ahrends Burton Koralek’s Berkeley Library was the backdrop for our latest shoot which showcases pieces from Natalie B Coleman's AW13 collection 'I Belong to me'NATALIEBCOLEMAN studied fashion at the Limerick School of Art & Design and completed the MA course at Central St. Martins, London, before establishing her own womenswear label in 2010. We fell head over heels for her digital printed suits (as seen in Elle 2013) and her streamlined jumpsuits (with pockets!).
Trinity College Library was the building that kick-started the architectural practice Ahrends Burton Koralek. Richard Burton, Peter Ahrends and Paul Koralek studied together at the Architectural Association and when Koralek won first place in the competition for a new library at Trinity College he contacted the pair to set up a practice together. We love it when a college pact comes to fruition!

The building was completed in 1967, the first to be built at Trinity College since the 1930s and the largest since the 19th century. Now a protected structure, the simple surfaces of the reinforced concrete (made with white cement and light coloured sand) and large bay windows of curved glass in bronze frames have weathered beautifully.

Each season Natalie creates strong narratives inspired by women's stories, secrets and their longing for individuality. She has worked in New York and Iceland and her travels resonate in each collection.   We can vouch for the beautifully sophisticated finishing and attention to detail.

We just love the juxtaposition of the in-situ concrete, the granite and the liquid qualities of the glass against the bold prints and vibrant palette of Natalie's latest collection.
Thank you kindly to Natalie B Coleman for her collection, to Coldlilies for the wonderful jewellery and to Arnotts for supplying the beautiful shoes for this shoot. Special thanks to photographer Jason Branagan,  make-up artist and hair stylist Andie Pierce and Ciara Donnelly, both at LA College of Creative Arts.

All styling is our own.
