A Liberty Odyssey: A Voyage of Storytelling
Embark on a mythical tour across sea, land, and heavens and discover a new spellbinding Liberty Fabric collection for AW23
By: Charlotte Olby
This season, Liberty Fabric invites you to join us on a voyage of storytelling with our new AW23 collection: A Liberty Odyssey. Drawing inspiration from the world of ancient myths and legends to explore Liberty’s very own heritage of storytelling through design, this journey takes influence from the epic tales of gods and goddesses, monsters and heroes – all of which have ignited the imaginations of artists, poets and Liberty designers alike for millennia.
Born in the heart of our Liberty Design Studio, the Liberty Fabric team has embarked on a sweeping tour across sea, land, and heavens, through captivating mythic imagery and symbolism to ignite the imagination and deliver a vast new collection spanning 54 Tana Lawn™ Cotton, 19 Poplin and 24 Silk and Crepe de Chine designs in various iterations and colourways. Split into four stories, Classical, Universe, Earth and Oceans, each narrative is connected by a golden thread of rich symbolism, captivating iconography and wonder. Delve into the depths of inspiration behind each story and explore our edit of stand-out designs to influence and energise your latest make.

Classical
The Classical story offers a celebration of the stories of Greek and Roman myth, interpreted through a vibrant contemporary lens. Ancient architectural female figures are given a Pop Art twist, appearing alongside designs influenced by pottery fragments, mosaics and exquisite stone masonry – with The Muse herself, emerging in a bold and graphic form. Motifs such as pomegranate, myrtle and peacock feather hint at wider mythic narratives, tying subtly into Liberty’s own artistic heritage.

Universe
Look to the heavens – the Universe story transports us up above the clouds, into a glittering sky populated by formidable deities. Reflecting the enduring symbolic power of stories to explain the world around us, these designs capture a realm of fierce passion and drama – where lightning bolts strike down and Cupid’s infamous arrow takes aim, as love letters are delivered on winged heels and a mythical horse takes flight.

Earth
In a tribute to the earth’s bounty, this story immerses us in the captivating details of the natural world. Falling florals symbolise the changing of the seasons when a young woman descends yearly into the underworld, while above her a variety of gods and goddesses serve to protect the harvest, the hunt and the hearth. Revelling in a rich landscape of fertile crops and forests of plenty, we must nevertheless tread carefully – for there are monsters at every turn of the labyrinth, and Medusa’s snakes slide half-hidden through the undergrowth.

Oceans
The Oceans story draws us deep down into a glittering underwater kingdom, of wine-dark waters inhabited by powerful mythological beings. Here the goddess of beauty and love is born from a seashell, scattering roses and myrtle around her as she steps onto land, and far out beneath the waves the royal protector of the sea holds court among the sea nymphs. Ancient crafts such as mosaic tiling are celebrated in rippling oceanic style, translating timeless techniques with an eye for contemporary storytelling.
