Collaborations<br />

<strong>Liberty</strong> has a long history of collaborations; a tradition which began in the late nineteenth century<br />

with Costume Society founder, William Godwin, in the in-house manufacture of apparel to rival<br />

the Parisian market. As Royal warrant holders, <strong>Liberty</strong> was influential as a platform for the success<br />

of numerous artists and designers; not least playing a crucial role in the popularity of the art<br />

Nouveau movement.<br />

Throughout its history, <strong>Liberty</strong> has collaborated with the biggest brands and designers, from<br />

Vivienne Westwood to Nike, and from Hermès to Supreme. Ever the expert in appealing to a<br />

younger consumer whilst maintaining its iconic and traditional designs, <strong>Liberty</strong> has collaborated<br />

with the likes of Acne and Supreme, as well as offering the latest lines by A.P.C, J Brand, and<br />

designers who have more recently gained prominence, like Mira Mikati. <strong>Liberty</strong> also holds close<br />

relationships with brands of <strong>Japan</strong>ese heritage like mainstays Kenzo, Edwin, and Tomorrowland.
