Exploring the rich history of gardens led the design studio to revisit Liberty’s own archive of botanical patterns through the ages. Marquess Belle is a harmonious fusion of two cherished prints: Little Marquess, a traditional garden design from a 1977 scarf, and Rachel, a timeless floral classic. Shifting between detailed linework and bold, overlapping silhouettes, the composition unveils layers of sharp contrasts and dramatic, large-scale shadows. This print is part of the first chapter in this collection, Story Garden, which explores the narratives that are woven in and around cultivated botanical spaces, taking inspiration from historic pleasure grounds and wartime victory gardens - highlighting humanity’s necessity for community and finding solace through nature.
