LIBERTY ROCKS
THE AUTUMN WINTER 2011 FABRIC COLLECTION
For over a century, Liberty Art Fabrics has forged a reputation for innovation and imagination, choosing to collaborate with visionary designers and artists. The results are designs that are fresh, original and always inspiring, and the Autumn Winter Collection for 2011 – Liberty Rocks – is no exception.
Art and popular music are entwined as Liberty worked with musicians who have links to the art world and artists with links to the music world. They were invited to contribute to a rich and varied collection in a range of different fabrics, from Tana Lawns to exquisite Crepe de Chines. The Liberty Design Team have created a dynamic collection of new print designs, while also re-invigorating their classic designs from the archive.
The collection is divided into seven different design groups with five colour stories, each highlighting a different aspect of music. From colourful fabrics inspired by early rock’n’roll, to a selection of archive prints specially chosen by critically acclaimed singer Florence Welch, Liberty Rocks encapsulates the creativity and energy that has defined pop and rock over the last 50 years.

FLORENCE WELCH
After leaving Camberwell College of Art, Florence devoted herself to music. Since then she has achieved remarkable success thanks to her exquisite voice and beautifully written songs. She visited the Liberty archive where she chose two designs – Grace, a 19th century vintage hand-drawn lace design and Dancing Ladies, a style popular within Liberty print in the 1920s and reminiscent of an Indian miniature.
