The Liberty Fabrics & Bridgerton collection explores both collaborative partner’s visionary take on 19th century Britain. Bridgerton’s vibrant and inclusive world, steamy romance, and modern soundtrack, transports you through a contemporary lens to the world of Regency era London’s high society.
In connection with the adventurous and disruptive spirit of Liberty’s founder, Sir Arthur Lasenby, Liberty sought to integrate traditional British sensibility with diverse creativity.
After making Regent Street his home where he built the iconic flagship store, Liberty became a byword for best of innovative design. Determined not to follow existing fashions but to create new, unexpected ones, Arthur Lasenby Liberty paved the way for a movement dedicated to the discovery, animated by arts, culture, and design.
In anticipation of Liberty’s 150th anniversary, the Liberty Fabrics & Bridgerton collection is a testament to the design house’s continued evolution.
Meticulously redrawn and recoloured by the Liberty design studio, the prints have been divided into three atmospheric chapters:
