the venue
Why holding the session at Liberty?
Liberty’s history started in 1875 when Arthur Lasenby Liberty opened Liberty & Co in Regent Street, London. Liberty established a reputation in silk, and satin, subtle and artistic colours between 1890 and 1920 and is highly esteemed as dress material, worldwide, to this day. They own their in-house design studio to create their on-trend patterns and as such is a quintessentially British institution.
