Glamour is the word |
Regent Street Soho London, London W1B 5AH +44 (0)20 7734 1234 http://www.liberty.co.uk |
Liberty used to be a haven for a sophisticated English clientèle, as well as tourists and those on the hunt for exquisite fabrics for dressmaking. It has however transformed into a hotspot for designer wear and cosmetics. The building itself is of significant historical beauty with its striking mock-Tudor facade and a splendid galleried oak staircase inside. The arts book section is accompanied by a snug cafe serving tremendously fattening cakes. Antiques, a bridal section and home ware can be found in the basement, contemporary jewelery and Liberty specialty accessories are at ground level, and there are laudable sections for cosmetics, gifts and designer fashion labels for both men and women. In recent years, Liberty has become quite a mecca for up-and-coming as well as more creative designers, including Kostas Murkurdis, Martine Sitbon and Issy Miyake. The fabrics and textiles department remains second to none and the excellent home furnishings and crafts are strikingly varied. Review © 2009, Wcities |
