We’ve been having a good rummage through the Liberty archives this week, and came across this retro window by Eric Lucking, who was appointed to take charge of our displays in 1946. Before this each window had been assigned to a separate department, and this was the beginning of our long history of creative and inspiring displays which continue to delight passers by on Great Marlborough Street. Lucking’s work caught the attention of Fortune Magazine in April 1951,
“E. E. Lucking, a leading light in the modern display world, makes of each window a unified composition of form and colour, symbolic, sophisticated, classically simple or dreamily fantastic, sometimes bizarre and surrealist, but always original and imparting to the West End something of that inventive chic belonging to the smartest Continental houses.”
Lucking was one of the first to display male and female mannequins together, and was also fond of unusual props – figures made from wire and straw, bunches of flowers to form heads, and in one memorable case a giraffe with Liberty scarves tied around its neck. The above window was to advertise the Young Liberty boutique, which was opened in 1949.

When we first spyed Michael van der Ham‘s debut collection we knew we were on to something special. An exclusive buy ensued, and we’ve stocked his unique and cutting edge collections ever since. Inspired by Andy Warhol’s collaged fashion designs, exhibited in 1975, van der Ham fuses silhouettes from different eras together in his signature patchwork pieces. Fabric swatches range from vintage couture off-cuts to market finds and even Liberty Print!
We’re excited to announce that Michael’s brand new collection of silk scarves is online and in store now. His striking designs reflect the collage of prints used in his collections, a striking juxtaposition of colour and pattern.
