Menswear protest windows
Taking inspiration from the radical 60's teenagers who dared to speak their mind these windows focused on protest and our right for the freedom of speech. Their message gaining in prominence on the run up to the election. From the windows came the idea of a renegade newspaper 'The Liberated press'. A statement that a brand can communicate without Marketing. The paper talks about brands and the store but isn't branded. Swapping Liberty of London and the website address for 'Were not posh were Arts and crafts'

Why quilting is back in style
Thanks The Times for this feature. To coincide with the V&A exhibition, Liberty is hosting a Quilty Pleasures selling show, with extravagant quilts hanging in the shop’s central atrium and wonderful window displays by Maxine Groucutt. Julie Hassan, from the haberdashery department, the show’s co-ordinator, says: “It brings together contemporary and restored quilts by designers such as Katherine May and Polly Lyster, and vintage fabric bundles by Worn and Washed. There will also be extra Liberty Sewing School classes.” May is known for her quilts made of Barbie and Action Man clothes, which is about as far removed from a church fête as you can get.
