Practical Pattern

"Maximalist" is a word that keeps cropping up in fashion journalism at the moment. Patterns, trimmings and wide, folky cuts are the current magazine mood-makers. And whilst you may not be quite ready to climb into the attic for long forgotten accessories, re (or de) decorate your kitchen back into its former 1970's floral wallpaper glory, a splash of liberty print feels like a perfect of-the-moment nod the sartorial season. Conveniently Uniqlo and Liberty have collaborated on a collection of very wearable, practical and reasonably priced pieces. For more ways of bringing Liberty prints into your life see our next issue subscriber gift, a wash bag from Alice Caroline. www.uniqlo.com/libertylondon
