What's new: Liberty x Folk, Zatchels and ASOS Black

Liberty has practically rewritten the rulebook for the successful collaboration. Tip number one: never go for the obvious. Its latest hook up with Scottish label Folk deconstructs a Liberty print to create a minimalist version that’s stamped across unisex pieces: a Japanese nylon raincoat, Jacquard socks, sweats and striped jumpers and track pants. To celebrate 140 years of Liberty and 10 years of Folk as a mainstay within the store, a deceptively simple cotton shirt is tagged with a secret ‘Happy Birthday’ in the chest pocket. www.folkclothing.co.uk, www.liberty.co.uk
