French contemporary brand, A.P.C. just launched a small collection of liberty prints thanks to a partnership with Liberty Fabrics. Retro florals and paisleys are not exactly new terrain for the brand, nor are the silhouettes used in the mini-collection: a floral smock dress, a knee-length skirt, a carry-all tote bag. We're sure plenty of overheated fashionistas will find these pieces just the trick for getting through the hot summer months. It seems like minded brand, Steven Alan, happens to agree. They've launched a series of liberty print summer items as well. Their collection includes a similar range of items, however, we happen to think the fashion world is big enough for both of them.
