Liberty: 150 Years of Fashion and Fabric

Liberty: 150 Years of Fashion and Fabric
Join Kassia St Clair, author of Liberty: Design. Pattern. Colour. (Thames & Hudson, 2025), to discover how and why the department store became renowned internationally for fabric designs on silk, wool, cashmere and, most famously, Tana Lawn Cotton. Explore some of the most striking and significant Liberty patterns, ranging from much-loved florals to bold and abstract designs and contemporary collaborations. Kassia St Clair places these fabrics in the context of the store's wider design history - from the retailer's remarkable Tudor-revival building to posters, advertising and branding. For everyone who loved Dovecot's exhibition Liberty Art Fabrics & Fashion, this is an opportunity to hear the next chapter in an inspiring, century-long story of manufacturing quality and design excellence.
