'Ian Rhodes' is a Liberty
of London design on fine
Tana lawn cotton which
takes its inspiration
from the idea of a well
beloved, well used box
of artists' watercolours.
It beautifully evokes the
translucency and slight
earthiness of this
delicate, radiant medium
- but the artist has been
very careful not to
contaminate her colours!
Madder reds abound,
alongside yellow ochre,
Prussian blue, umber,
oxide green, chrome
orange and dark plum. A
busy, bright, exuberant
piece that also explores
ideas of lightness,
delicacy and freedom of
execution. Very
refreshing and perfect
for Spring/Summer.
'Moore' three button
cuff.

The artist and designer
Robert Stewart was a
contemporary of Lucienne
Day and one of the few
designers she admired.
Together they pioneered
British textile design
after the war. A prolific
creator, Stewart
produced paintings,
tapestries, graphics,
ceramics and murals but
it is his textile designs
that have been the most
influential,
particularly those
produced by Liberty.
'Boat Race' was created
by him in 1954 and
revived by Liberty in the
90s. A Liberty design
classic from the archive
exclusive to Simon
Carter. Boat Race is an
abstract composition with
the feeling of a stencil
collage, inspired
perhaps by Miro.
Streamlined and
canoe-like horizontal
forms are juxtaposed with
tall, elegant rhomboids
and interspersed with
stylised tiny floral and
leaf stalk accents.
Cleverly rendered in a
palette of primary
colours, translucency is
evoked as the forms
change hue where they
overlap the mid cerulean
ground. This is Modernist
fabric design at its
best. 'Moore' three
button cuff.

sensuous forms,

riotous invasion of
arabesques and floral
accents. The palette

midnight blue, malachite
green, chrome yellow and
carmine. Lee Manor is
named after Sir Arthur
Liberty's country estate,
which he extended,
improved and populated

A charming Liberty Tana
Lawn with a suggestion of
chinoiserie in the
drawing and hatching,
and of texture - tapestry
or embroidered. Called
"Gaggle" it has some
geese and another water
bird in 'primitivist'
style serenely floating
on stylised water
currents, rendered by
vertical strokes in two
blues to give a lovely
irregular rhythm and
movement. The birds are
painted in a contrasting
but complimenting coral.

Robert Stewart was a
Scottish designer and
artist, a contemporary
of Lucienne Day and one
of the few designers she
admired. Together they
pioneered modern British
textile design after the
war. A prolific maker,
Stewart produced
paintings, tapestries,
graphics, ceramics and
murals but it is his
textile designs that have
been most influential,
particularly those
produced for Liberty.
'Macra Dance' was
originally called
Macrahanish and was
created by Robert Stewart
in 1954. This archive
Liberty of London design
is exclusive to Simon
Carter. Dignified,
aristocratic,
marionette-like figures
ride giant,
semi-mechanical fish. An
autochthon raises his
arms in a gesture of
worship perhaps and a
magic, elemental force
passes between them. I
particularly like how the
drawings have been
surrounded by an
imprecise light area,
isolating or containing
them gently in the soft
blue ground. An abstract,
highly creative device.
A beautiful,
accomplished design.

Morris butterfly,
inspired by, of course,
the great William Morris
is a design which
utilises the superior
definition offered by
fine Tana Lawn cotton to
its full extent. A
stylised, Art Nouveau
butterfly and floral
motif, mirrored and
repeated evokes the sense
perhaps, of the view in
a kaleidoscope or of an
elaborate stained glass
window. In soft yellow
ochre, pale blue and
dusky lavender it is
exquisitely tasteful and
refined. Possibly my
favourite shirt of the
season because of its
elegance and
understatement. 'Moore'
three button cuff.

Brighton Blossom is a
charming Liberty original
on finest Tana lawn
cotton, printed in Italy
in Liberty's dedicated
facility. Recalling art
nouveau block printed
wallpaper designs it
features a delicate,
cinquefoil inspired
flower form in white and
pink against undulating
foliage with vestigial
spent sepals, rendered
in a simple, flat scheme
to make fullest use of
the beautiful soft
colours: sage green,
pale grey and cerulean
against a midnight blue
ground. Delightful!

Prospect Road is a truly
delightful Liberty of
London design dating from
1968. Strongly inspired
by Fauvism, a wooded,
perhaps idyllic suburban
vista with trees, clouds
and blue sky is rendered
in strong planes of
colour, boldly outlined
and infilled in parts,
with a rather
celebratory, freely
executed detailing of
leaves and texture. The
colour palette is joyous
- mint and lime greens,
ultramarine, carmine,
madder and soft pinks,
chromium orange and deep
purple. Positively
delirious! But also
restful and uplifting. I
absolutely love this
design, very fresh,
rather beautiful.

An unusual archive
Liberty of London print,
circa 1954, exclusive to
Simon Carter. A study of
traditional 'catseye'
marbles, originally in
gouache - an earthier,
opaque medium compared to
translucent watercolour
which is more often the
source of Liberty art
prints. The design feels
decidedly modernist with
its bold regular forms at
various scales combined
with undulating, or
twisting almost organic
colour elements. Bold,
but with a delightfully
muted palette of dusky
pinks, grey and olive
green. I find it rather
enchantingly absorbing
and peaceful. Three
button cuff.

A distant relative of the
evergreen 'Strawberry
Thief' design by William
Morris, 'Peach Porter
has stylised fruit and
exotic flowers in a
tangled field of stems,
leaves and small
five-petalled blooms. The
'thief' in this case is a
frog. A classic Liberty
Art Nouveau design on
Tana lawn, which is
noted for its quality and
softness. A three button
("Moore") design with
classic collar. This
colourway on Tana Lawn is
exclusive to Simon
Carter.

Tiny Dancer explores the
notion of pattern as
rhythm, in a syncopated
linear motif suggesting
movement, progression
and flow. Balletic male
and female figures, part
silhouetted with
vestigial, economic
lines suggesting muscular
tension alternate between
high energy poses and
rest; paired or alone,
arching, leaping,
reaching or standing this
is a deceptively simple
design which juxtaposes a
number of contrasting
ideas. A 'recent
vintage', circa 2015,
Tiny Dancer is exclusive
to Simon Carter for this
season. Matt flesh tone,
chrome orange, cobalt
blue, sap green hues
with rich brown accents
are laid over a black
ground to give a
dramatic, arresting yet
restful effect. On finest
Tana Lawn cotton.

Created by Robert Stewart

Merton works in 1950 'Sun
Man' is an archive
Liberty of London design
exclusive to Simon
Carter. A totemic smiling
sun face is surrounded by
triangular, irregularly
drawn elements, looping,
criss-cross and trefoil
devices. A design which
mixes the quirky, or
endearing, with pure
abstraction - a Robert
Stewart hallmark. And
suggests perhaps a
primitive celebration of
the power of natural
forces. A beautifully
resolved design in a
muted grey-blue with
white accents and a
notable confidence in the
underlying
draughtsmanship and sense
of balance. 'Moore' three

Puppy dogs and pastels,
glasses and fruit, a bow
tie, a scarf and much
more besides accompany
the artist settling in
for a spot of creative
genius. This is Liberty's
'studio' print and,
well, I wish I had a
studio like that. It
looks positively
enchanting. The design
emphasise the particular
charms of drawing and
wash, always a great
combination I think.
Light, bright and rather
sweet with an air of
freedom and
improvisation. 'Moore'
three button cuff.

Winter Berry Tana Lawn
from Liberty looks at the
idea of tenacity and
renewal as hedgerow
berries persist into the
colder months to,
eventually seed new life
in the Spring. In a

deep purple it makes for
a rich, juicy seasonal
feast!

Amazing tropicalised
Paisley in which the
clasic damask has taken
root on a desert island
in the Pacific,
sprouting clusters of
heart shaped,
nectar-rich blooms,
drooping garlands,
sinuous, trailing stems
and curling fern-like
fronds. Hand drawn and
inked in cyan and scarlet
lake on a soft midnight
blue, this is an
exuberant, joyously
improvisatory take on a
traditional theme. With a
'Moore' three button
cuff.
