I get more excited about the Liberty's new season of fabrics than I do Xmas or birthdays.
In it's AW 2012 collection, Liberty "celebrates the innovation of the textile process through an exploration
of the broad spectrum of textile technique. The prints are inspired by
historical and current textile design including block printing, weave,
embroidery and needlepoint, as well as the latest digital printing
techniques."
I must admit that I'm not blown away by the collection as a whole (SS 2011 is my all time favourite - I wanted one of everything!). But here are some lovelies:
This looks like it's been decorated in embroidery and applique. V cute. If I had a little girl, she would soon be wearing a dress made of this.
This one is my favourite of the collection. See the little elephant? I might treat myself to this, for a Tova (what else?!).
This one reminds me a lot of Melly, which I
used for a Wiksten tank. I love it in all the colourways.
This would make a lovely tea-dress. Or Sewaholic Cambie dress!
At first I thought this was a basket weave pattern, but it's matches (the name kind of gives that away!). I love the textures in the above three prints.
I'd be interested to see what this last one looks like in other colourways. I love the pops of colour in the wild flowers. But I can't wear those brown base colours... no good for my complexion!
The whole collection is online now. What do you think? Any favourites? Or not quite your cup of tea?
speak soon!

Childhood would look amazing as a flirty dress, like the Cambie.
ReplyDeleteLiberty is having an in-store sale at the moment, including their remnants! I'm kinda tempted to stop by.
Wowzers! These are amazing! I like the more graphic prints like the Milliner (my favorite!) and Mawston Meadow. So cool!
ReplyDeleteI'm a trad floral liberty lover, and childhood is my fave too. Spent ages looking for the elephant!! But I also like ciara and strike...
