In 1875, Arthur Lasenby Liberty borrowed £2,000 from his father-in-law to buy land on London’s famous Regent Street, with plans to create his own luxury emporium. The result was Liberty, the six-floor department store that has served as the city’s lodestar for textiles, jewelry, housewares, and other high-end goods. Its print archive spans over 45,000 items, and in Liberty’s in-house studio, designers continue to hand paint and re-work archived pieces. Many of the women who pioneered these designs, however, were never recognized. The 1933 print Wiltshire Berry is one of Liberty’s most popular designs, and yet little is known about its maker, the humble Mrs. Stoneley. A new exhibition celebrates these female designers and their contributions to Liberty, showcasing over 100 works—garments, fabrics, original designs, films, and archival photographs. —Maggie Turner
