Taking Liberties

It used to be that Liberty prints were for angel haired schoolgirls. Today, everyone from Turner-prize winner Grayson Perry to Barney’s creative director, Simon Doonan, is a fan.

Here in Toronto, designer Andrea Dixon of Pomp and Ceremony fashions the most charming accessories from a mix of vintage and current Liberty fabrics. For the lads there are pochettes and bow ties and for the ladies there are headbands, necklaces and fascinators.

The lavender sachets make perfect stocking stuffers, and these berets will look darling atop a mound of angel hair.

Available at Model Citizen, 279 Augusta Ave., Toronto, 416-553-6632.
