A beautiful celebration of Liberty’s extraordinary range of innovative fabric designs, published to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the icon of design and luxury.
Liberty—an icon of design innovation and luxury—is renowned internationally for fabric designs on silk, wool, cashmere, and, most famously, Tana Lawn Cotton. LIBERTY: Design. Pattern. Color. showcases 150 of the most striking and significant Liberty patterns, ranging from much-loved florals to bold and abstract designs and contemporary collaborations.
Published to mark Liberty’s 150th anniversary, this gorgeously produced book written by cultural historian and color expert Kassia St Clair places fabrics in the context of the store’s broader design history—from the retailer’s remarkable Tudor-revival building to posters, advertising, and branding. The volume presents the latest examples of Liberty design alongside prints, drawings, and samples from the company’s outstanding archive, telling an inspiring, century-long story of manufacturing quality and design excellence.
