A rare convergence of British textile heritage and forward-thinking design, this Wendy Dagworthy blazer was made exclusively for Saks Fifth Avenue using Liberty of London cotton, complete with its original matching tie. It perfectly captures Dagworthy’s ability to take something traditionally feminine and rework it into a relaxed, modern silhouette that still feels relevant today.
Cut in a slightly oversized shape, the blazer has an ease that lends itself to everyday wear, while the unlined construction keeps it light and effortless, ideal for warmer months. The Liberty floral print brings softness and familiarity, balanced by the tailored lines and the addition of the matching tie, which can be worn loose, knotted or removed entirely depending on how you want to style it.
There is a quiet confidence to Dagworthy’s design approach, and this piece embodies it fully. It is both directional and wearable, something that can be styled simply with jeans and a t-shirt, allowing the cut, print and tie detail to do all the work.
Faint markings are present on the inside of the collar, though they are not visible when worn and do not detract from the overall impact of the piece.
An iconic example of late 20th century British design, and a collector’s piece that remains entirely wearable now.
