Celebrating 150 Years of Liberty with The Patchwork Collective

To celebrate 150 years at the forefront of British design, Liberty London has unveiled a landmark creative collaboration: The Patchwork Collective. This large-scale installation, on display in the store’s iconic Tudor halls until 24 July 2025, brings together handcrafted contributions from designers, makers and brands across the globe. The result is a supersized patchwork house - a vivid, tactile tribute to Liberty’s lasting influence on fashion, design and culture.
 

Among the contributors is designer and brand storyteller Richard Brownlie-Marshall, whose piece sits alongside work by globally recognised names such as Paul Smith, Levi’s, Jil Sander, Barbour and Fugazzi. Together, these submissions form a rich and varied artwork that honours Liberty’s creative legacy. Richard’s patch brings a distinct voice to the installation - part of a broader dialogue between heritage, craftsmanship and contemporary design thinking.
 

The Patchwork Collective stands as a powerful reflection of Liberty’s place within the wider design world - not just as a retailer, but as a curator of ideas, a champion of artistry and a storyteller in its own right. Each square holds a personal narrative, woven into a wider tapestry of community and fond memories. For anyone working in or following brand design, it offers an inspiring reminder of how identity can be expressed through fabric, form and visual storytelling.
 

For Richard, whose work often explores the emotional resonance of design and the way identity can be communicated visually, contributing to the project felt like a natural fit.

 

On display throughout summer 2025, the installation offers a rare opportunity to experience Liberty’s legacy reimagined - seen through the lens of the artists, designers and storytellers helping to shape its next chapter.
