We are delighted to introduce Artistic Dress at Liberty & Co: The Early Years - an exploration of how the name of Liberty became synonymous with Aestheticism and the English Art Nouveau Movement, as well as its role in shaping contemporary late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century Artistic Dress.
Featuring archival materials and previously unpublished pattern books, fashion historian, curator and archivist Anna Buruma navigates Liberty’s role in artistic dress. Examining how their idiosyncratic fashions of Greek and Roman style evening dress and medieval tea gowns translated into late nineteenth and early twentieth century fashionable dress. From their flourishing commitment to Aestheticism to becoming a trailblazer for the Art Nouveau movement which would emerge from it, Artistic Dress at Liberty & Co: The Early Years is the go-to source for the rich early history of Liberty’s dress department.
