In Pictures: Liberty x Nanushka

Budapest-based contemporary design house Nanushka has launched a capsule
collection using Liberty Fabric to create an exclusive autumn/winter 2018
collection for the luxury department store.

Drawing on disparate references such as ‘80s movies, Americana, the Wild
West and Eastern culture, Nanushka has reimagined her street style
favourite, ski-wear inspired puffer coats using various Liberty Fabrics
including the dark floral ‘Elizabeth’ and the blush-toned pink and plum
‘Mortimer’ print.

The Nanushka Hide jacket has become a signature piece from the Budapest
brand and is cut from vegan faux-leather in an exaggerated, oversized
puffer jacket shape, but has previously been showcased in block colours and
croc embossed pattern.

Nanushka founder and creative director Sandra Sandor worked directly
with Liberty’s womenswear buying team to select the two prints from
Liberty’s print archive of over 45,000 to recreate the Hide jacket.

The limited-edition three-piece collection will debut as part of a three
week pop-up in Liberty, reinventing the feel and atmosphere of Nanushka’s
Budapest store using elements taken from the flagship including galvanised
steel, velvet and a custom-built mirror that aims to create an “evocative,
eclectic but harmonious feel” within the pop-up space until October 22.

Nanushka launched in Hungary in 2006 by Budapest native and London
College of Fashion graduate Sandra Sandor on the principles of “finding the
mutual language between apparent opposites” and uses leather-look designs
with vegan principles and luxurious fabrics that are easily washable.

The Liberty x Nanushka Hide puffer jackets are 505 pounds each.
