“Give me Liberty or Give me Death” were the famous words attributed to American freedom fighter Patrick Henry. But that’s morbid isn’t it? Instead MAC Cosmetic’s new collection is called “Give me Liberty of London” – a collection done in collaboration with Liberty a very famous fabric store and luxury department store in London.
If you ever go to London, do go to Liberty’s – the exterior of the store is built in Tudor style and is a whimsical throwback to the Elizabethan age. These days, it has expanded from being a fabric store to a luxury department store but its worth a visit and I love their deep purple plastic bags which is their signature colour! I think my Mom still has hers kept away from our last visit there 🙂
MAC’s new “Liberty of London” collection draws inspiration from the fabrics that Liberty’s carries. The packaging is white with whimsical artwork on it. In another time and in another place I’d say it makes me think of Alice in Wonderland. But in this time and place I’d not say it because I think its far more whimsical than the current perception of Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland 😛 But there’s my prejudices showing. Some pictures of products are after the cut.
