i was invited to preview the wonderful exhibition

liberty in fashion

at the

fashion and textile museum

this past monday.

i fell in love

it's a story of the legendary shop liberty. a store found by arthur lasenby liberty 140 years ago. arthur's ambition was to create new fashion rather than follow the existing styles. the development of liberty "art colours" and the production of its own fabrics in great britian ensured that his vision would become reality.

such an entrepreneur

if you are in london anytime from tomorrow to february 28th 2016, go devour:)))

such inspirations! such millions to learn from a visionary.

here are some amazing inspirations i captured (with not the best functioning iphone) at this beautifully curated exhibition. for my own use/ inspiration for later use in regards to various projects i am working on.

my fave spot was at the top floor. i met with the wonderfully talented sarah campbell whom has created this space called "the art of pattern" which features the work she did together with her sister susan collier ( 1937-2011) during the years 1961-77 for liberty in london prints.

liberty in fashion

sketches, smock dresses together with 30's beauties, 60's and all else under the sun.

yes that is how this exhibition

inspires

love adore love adore

the craft!

do i see marc jacobs ca 2005 here?

would i devour this in my closet?

the answer would be

YUP!!!
