The Liberty of London department store, located in the fashionable west end of London in the United Kingdom, has been selling luxury items since 1875. From leather footstools in the shape of a hippo to elegantly hand-carved Moroccan coffee tables, there’s something to please every discerning collector. And while it became a reputable retailer over time, the original Liberty & Co. was a pivotal force in the development of the Aesthetic, Art Nouveau and the Arts and Crafts movements. As the champion of eclectic design throughout the centuries, Liberty continues to collaborate with designers to produce covetable interior fashion and accessories.
Arthur Liberty was born in 1843 in Buckinghamshire, England. His father, a draper, encouraged him to apprentice as a draper at age 16. Instead, he took an offer to work at Farmer and Rogers, a women’s fashion store. After ten years, he decided to strike out on his own. In 1875 he borrowed money from his father-in-law and leased a small store on the very prominent Regent Street, naming it the East India House.
Liberty’s store was very eclectic. It served as an emporium for Eastern imports, with a wildly varied collection of ornaments, fabrics and objects d’art — including imported antiques — on offer. In London, there was already a demand for and an interest in imported goods from India and elsewhere, so his business concept was an immediate success. He repaid his loan in less than two years and continually expanded by buying up all the buildings on his side of the street. His company was so successful that even the original Victoria and Albert Museum purchased Eastern textiles for its collection from his store.
By 1890, the firm came to be known as Liberty & Company. Liberty died in 1917, but the business continued to thrive. In 1924, the current iteration — and now world-famous — of the store was constructed. It was built in the Tudor Revival style and the structure's frame was made of wood salvaged from two British warships. In the 1950s and '60s, the store, now known as Liberty’s, helped spark the counterculture youth movements of the era as beatniks and hippies purchased fabrics and furnishings from this iconic store.

Liberty of London Floral Embroidered Silk Maxi Dress, Spring 2020
By Liberty of London
Located in Boca Raton, FL
Founded in 1875, the quintessentially British Liberty of London is known for their iconic Tudor style flagship store and unique luxury goods. Described by Oscar Wilde as the “chosen resort for the artistic shopper”, Liberty debuted their first ready-to-wear collection in Spring 2020 to critical acclaim. The design team was led by Holly Marler, who notably designed for Alexander McQueen early on in her career. “Each piece … tells a story, with the prints informing the silhouette of each garment from the beginning. We wanted to create a ready-to-wear collection for a mind-set rather than an age; a creative, eccentric collector, with a love of beautiful things and an appreciation for the hidden details,” said Marler of the 45-piece collection. Inspired by the Bloomsbury Set and female surrealist artists from the 30’s, Marler first designed the pieces on a miniature scale, placing the prints on the body of a small doll to ensure the prints looked “as beautiful in motion as they do lying flat”, and the result is nothing short of spectacular. From that collection, this incredible dress enchants and fascinates. Done in a sheer black silk and fine black tulle mesh, this feminine dress is an exploration of texture, color, and opacity. The black silk sleeves and skirt feature a version of the iconic Liberty Ianthe...
