We couldn’t be more excited to see what London’s fashion finest have in store for us, from Liberty favourite Jonathan Saunders who was recently awarded the BFC/Vogue Fashion Fund to our Best of British discovery Draw In Light, who’ll be guest blogging from Somerset House.
As a special treat we’ll also be live streaming the shows all week from the BFC tents, so whether you’re taking a quick coffee break in the office or lounging on the sofa you can feel like you’re seated front row. We’ve had ours on all day and it’s fast become an office addiction – fun because you can gasp and hyperventilate all you like without being tut-tuted by an annoyed neighbour.
Last night we also launched our exclusive B Store temporary space, a special installation on our 2nd floor housing their gorgeous Liberty print men’s and women’s clothing, shoes and accessories.

For the first time Manolo Blahnik has created a unique shoe shop within another store, and we couldn’t be more delighted that he’s chosen Liberty to house his exceptional collection. The permanent space is now open on the second floor, filled with the most beautiful courts, pumps, stilettos, peep toes and sandals you’ve ever set eyes upon. Manolo said of his new space,
“I am very excited to be selling my collection at Liberty. I love the store; it has so much character and history. I adore the Liberty Art Fabrics and I use some in every collection.”
We’re also excited to tell you that we’re offering customers the opportunity to meet the designer himself! Manolo will be in store next Wednesday 22nd February to sign the boxes of any shoes purchased, and pose for pictures with his loyal fans. Visit him in his new shop on the 2nd floor between 6-7pm.

Last night we launched Kinky Knickers: a new brand of handmade lace undies by retail consultant Mary Portas. Each pair is made entirely in Britain, from the finest lace produced in Middleton, Greater Manchester. A group of apprentices chosen by Mary were specially trained in traditional lace making techniques, and the knickers are a culmination of all their hard work:
“This is absolute madness – our knickers are outshining us! We’ve fallen out and rowed loads but now we’re all together and the hard work has paid off. I was unemployed before this – I’d broken my leg and been out of work for 18 months. I kept asking myself why the old mills and factories weren’t reopened, I felt passionate about this cause even before I got involved in the project. Each of the seven of us has a different job, so each pair is a joint effort. If we didn’t work as a team it wouldn’t work, and there’s still lots more to do! We’re working on another 1000 for Liberty at the moment.” Les, a Kinky Knickers apprentice.
The hope is that this exciting collection will shine a light back on British manufacturing, and you can support the cause by wearing your Kinky Knickers with pride! Designed to be comfortable, sexy and VPL free, each pair comes with a hidden message in the gusset encouraging wearers to ‘Love Your Country!’
The range is available exclusively at Liberty and was unveiled last night with a live window display and cocktail party complete with vintage pin-up girls showing off the range of colours available which range from a more subtle ivory to a striking neon pink with orange trim.
