“I was determined not to follow existing fashion but to create new ones.” Arthur Lasenby Liberty
Liberty has been at the cutting edge of design
and the decorative arts since 1875. The exhibition explores Liberty’s impact on
British fashion, from Orientalism and Aesthetic dress in the 19th century,
through Art Nouveau and Art Deco in the early 20th century, and the revival of
these styles since the 1950s. Liberty Art Fabrics and the textile design studio
take centre stage as the internationally recognised leader in floral, paisley
and patterned prints and dress fabrics.
Liberty in Fashion celebrates the 140th anniversary of the company. The
exhibition charts Liberty’s history as ‘the’ fashionable place to shop as well
as its role as the source and originator of key trends in fashion history. Over
150 garments, textiles and objects demonstrate Liberty’s strong relationships
with designers since 1875, from Arthur Silver of Silver Studio to
collaborations with Jean Muir, Cacharel, Yves Saint Laurent and Vivienne
Westwood.
