This week Edwyn Collins made a special visit to see us and take a look at his beautiful and unique Ornithology print fabric which is available now on the shop floor and online. Collins is best known for fronting Scottish rock revivalists Orange Juice, and for his international solo hit ‘Girl Like You’. Seven years ago he suffered from a stroke, and used illustration as a means of rehabilitation. His intricate drawings of birds, each named and dated, was transformed by our design team into a range of fabrics for the Liberty Rocks collection. You can watch our exclusive video interview to find out more about this remarkable story from the man himself…

Liberty Art Fabrics have created a print with Swedish pop star Emilia de Poret. Emilia visited our design team armed with a sketch inspired by microphone heads, which was transformed into the striking Emilia de Poret print.
During her visit Emilia made a video of her experience, during which she wears clothing made from her very own fabric – take a look and we hope you’ll be inspired to make some Liberty Print creations of your own!

For his unique print, Blur guitarist and solo artist Graham Coxon submitted beautiful original drawings to the Liberty Art Fabrics design team, who have transformed them into this intricate line print. The design has the feel of a 1960s rock poster, influenced by the likes of Esher and Mucha. Available in four colourways, this handsome print is sure to be a hit!
