It’s Carla fever at Liberty right now with preparations for her party in store next week underway. We are celebrating this exclusive collaboration with a glittering soirée and I caught up with her to find out her thoughts on style, scarves and English eccentrics…
We love 10 Corso Como tell us how it all began?
My background was as a fashion editor with the dream of a three-dimensional magazine and so I decided to create a concept store. I started in 1990/91 nearly twenty years ago now.
What in your opinion makes Liberty and 10 Corso Como such a perfect match?
They are both identified by strong graphics and prints.
You have such a distinctive style, who and what influences the way you dress?
I wear only what I love and only what I feel can become part of me.
Italians have always had a love affair with the way the English dress, what do you find so fascinating about British style?
We are attracted by the eccentric freedom, the mix, the colours…
A favourite Liberty/10 Corso Como piece and how you would wear it?
A print is like a piece of jewellery I would wear the Liberty/10 Corso Como scarves like jewels.
What does Liberty mean to you?
Tradition and fantasy together.
Carla loves this Liberty of London for 10 Corso Como scarf... She says "A print is like a piece of jewellery, I will wear this scarf with its gothic colours as a necklace." Carla Sozzani
