Published to mark the 150th anniversary of
the founding of Liberty, this book celebrates the extraordinary range of
innovative fabric designs that have been at the forefront of the
business and its global reputation for well over a century.
Liberty
- an icon of design innovation and luxury - is renowned internationally
for fabric designs on silk, wool, cashmere and, most famously, Tana
Lawn Cotton (TM). Gathered here are 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 beautifully produced book
places fabrics in the context of the store's wider design history - from
the retailer's remarkable Tudor-revival building to posters,
advertising and branding. It presents the very 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.
