British model Libery Ross is working with Genetic Denim on a 6-piece capsule collection. The small line will feature one jacket, a high-waisted skirt, a pair of trousers, one dress and two pairs of jeans. Commenting on her pieces, Liberty says she has used her experience as a model, learning from the expert designers who have fit her during her career and applied those tailoring skills to her collection:
“I’ve tried to use the knowledge I’ve learned in fittings with incredible designers like Karl Lagerfeld or Tom Ford. You watch how they work and that’s such a privilege. The lines of the jacked I designed were very much inspired by early McQueen.”
Liberty has done her best to make sure the designs fit women of all shapes and sizes, and has paid close attention to detail to make sure they flatter anyone who wants to wear her new pieces:
“I want them to be worn by a broad spectrum of women, they’re made absolutely with that in mind. All the denim has stretch, I’ve been careful about the pocket placement and the bums have been carefully manipulated. No matter what size, you’re going to look hot.”
The model says her new collection is inspired by her British life and also her time in Los Angeles, so she tied both places together:
“Basically I wanted to weave my two lives together – I was raised in LA until I was seven, then came back to London and has this amazing career, so I wanted to tie that in with the influences of music, fashion, friends, family.”
