COLLECTION

In celebration of 150 years of Liberty, ‘From the Studio’ for AW25 stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of the London design house. Paying homage to the dedicated artisanship that Liberty has been renowned for since the opening of its Regent Street flagship in 1875, this collection explores the creatives who have shaped the story so far. Divided into three distinct narratives – Craftsmanship, Collaboration, and Collectibles – ‘From the Studio’ unveils design sketches and archival studies, shedding light on Liberty ’s innovative artistic practice. This collection reveals the journey from inspiration through drawing, painting, and experimenting with digital artwork to the final printed textile.

In 1983, Liberty showcased its avant-garde spirit by hosting an exhibition of the radical design group, Memphis Milano. Inspired by the group’s hallmarks of playful, sculptural forms and optical, clashing patterns, Memphis stands out as a visually arresting design brimming with dazzling vitality. Spherical daisies cast soft overlapping shadows, while graphic cutouts dance amidst contrasting stripes, captivating the eye with a riot of illusory geometries. This print is part of the anniversary collection’s final chapter, Collectibles. Offering a design for each decade, this timeline of hero prints encapsulates 150 years – exploring the design house’s varied and influential handwriting while honouring key moments of creativity and discovery.

Crepe de chine is one of the best silk bases for daytime wear – it’s effortlessly luxe, with a lightweight drape that’s made more durable by its matte, slightly rough surface. Try using crepe de chine to create a louche effect with wide-leg trousers and loosely tailored shirts, or with fluted sleeves and ruffled accents for a romantic feel.
