'Sonny James' - Spring Summer 2024
“Red protects itself. No colour is as territorial. It stakes a claim, is on the alert against the spectrum.” – Derek Jarman
Cloth Edit is excited to bring to you the first instalment of the Spring/Summer 2024 Liberty Collection. This collection is described as a “Kaleidoscope”, taking you on a the most vivid journey through a rainbow, and into a “prismatic universe of colour”.
"Based on a series of original artworks created for Liberty in 1987, Sonny James is a beautifully textured conversational design. Featuring colourful parrots perched on tropical branches in a nod to the infamous scarlet macaws, its loose and layered paint strokes mimic the expressive mark-making techniques of acrylic on canvas. This print is part of the Red story of our Spring/Summer 2024 collection with designs drawing from the colour’s millennia-spanning history as feature of prehistoric paintings, and one of humanity’s first symbols of love, life and vitality".
About the Spring/Summer 2024 Collection
“For this collection the Liberty Fabrics designers engaged with print’s most elemental pigments, assembled here into four compelling stories: ‘Spectrum’, ‘Red’, ‘Blue’ and ‘Yellow’. The collection explores the cultural, natural and historical components that make up the light and shade of everything around us, taking us into the heart of each hue. Join us to become immersed in kaleidoscopic colour, unlike anything we’ve done before.” (Liberty)
