Ba4 Research... Libertys Goes Digital


Libertys Digital print scarf
A while back whilst researching Melanie Bowles, I realised that she co-founded 'The people's print', (www.thepeoplesprint.blogspot.co.uk). 

This blog looks into the newest trends in digital textile design. The People's Print pioneers new concepts for textile design combining traditional and digital technologies, open source, participatory and co-design, aiming to create a community of like minded people with a passion for designing their own textiles.

"Liberty is one of the last great emporiums for innovative and eclectic design. Situated in the heart of London since 1875, it remains to this day the destination of choice for the savvy and sophisticated shopper. At Liberty, a rich heritage combines with the cutting edge and avant-garde, making each visit a voyage of discovery and excitement. We hope you will be inspired and delighted by our carefully selected offering of beautiful and luxurious products. We welcome you into our eccentric, indulgent and utterly charming world, and invite you to get truly lost in Liberty." - extract from Libertys website.

The department store Libertys is well-known for their ranges of screen-printed fabrics. to keep up with the changing nature of the textile pattern industry, they have created a range of digitally printed fabrics. I would like to research 'Libertys' and their fabric collections further with the mixture of traditional and more modern print techniques.
