In pictures: Richard Quinn collaborates with Liberty London

British designer Richard Quinn is collaborating with Liberty London on
an exclusive and limited-edition accessories collection, which will
showcase Quinn’s love of pattern, colour and form.

Launching in-store and online today, July 9, the accessories collection
spans across thirty styles, including totes, purses, card holders, key
rings and scarves, which are all patterned in Quinn’s signature style with
bold blooms in vivid, acidic tones.

The designer, who has previously collaborated with Liberty London, after
he used a Liberty print for his graduate show, was given access to
Liberty’s extensive archive, which consists of 45,000 prints. He chose to
distort floral prints from the Sixties, Seventies and the Nineties to
create the range of vibrant coated canvas accessories.

As well as using Liberty florals, Quinn has also reintroduced the
Liberty logo in his own handwriting, which has been printed and embroidered
on the front of his accessories collection. Quinn also “hacked” Liberty
London’s signature Iphis tote to create metallic art-piece bags to
accessorise each look, said the retailer in a statement.

Amelia Hornblow, Liberty London’s director of product said in a statement: ‘We, at
Liberty, have always prided ourselves on discovering and fostering new
talent, as our Founder Arthur Lasenby Liberty sourced artists and craftsmen
from around the world.

“We are thrilled to be working with Richard Quinn, a great talent, whose
collection and designs feature colour and print that embody the Liberty
Spirit.”

Prices for the Liberty London x Richard Quinn collection range from 70
pounds for a silk twill scarf to 695 pounds for Liberty’s signature
Marlborough tote.

In addition to designing the collection, Quinn has also styled an
“insta-ready campaign” to promote the collaboration, featuring models in
contorted positions dressed in Quinn’s signature floral patterned
bodysuits.
