We see: Liberty of London X Nike

Our very favourite fabric company (and frequent flyer on this blog) : Liberty of London collaborates with Nike.  The patterns are drawn by children's book illustrators David McKee, Brian Wildsmith and Lauren Child.  I must say, if I wore high tops, I would wear these shoes.

We love: Liberty of London

We've talked about Liberty of London on this blog a fair bit in the past... but what's better than actually making it to the store in mid-Christmas swing? To say the least, I was a kid in a candy shop. The building on Regent st., dating all the way to 1884, houses Liberty's flagship store in London and has an entire charm of its own. The inside was completely overrun with Christmas shoppers... but they'd found the right place! This is one department store that has it all, and does it right.

Everyone's crazy for: Liberty of London

As we said in an April post, Liberty of London is taking the world by storm. They've just announced perhaps the most exciting project so far: a collaboration with Monolo Blahnik. The shoes will be available for the F/W 2010 season and will be launched during Fashion's Night Out in September. Until then, we are left ogling the sketches Blahnik has released.

Everyone's crazy for: Liberty of London

Now that spring is here and summer is on the way, everyone is loving Liberty of London. The UK company is known mostly for their scarves and fabrics, but this year Liberty florals are popping up in all sorts of unexpected places. At Merci-Merci, their prints are on mugs, suitcases, pillows, keychains & notebooks.

At Target, their prints are on clothes, bedding, accessories and bikes.

At MAC cosmetics they've collaborated with Liberty as well:
