Virtual Wright Design Series - Dorothy Liebes: Modern Fashion’s Starchitect

Presented by Leigh Wishner

Hailed as the “Mother of Modern Weaving,” Dorothy Liebes (1897–1972) collaborated with some of the most famous architects and designers of the twentieth century, including producing numerous textiles for Frank Lloyd Wright. Liebes’s innovative approach to fabrics used for interiors and soft furnishings came to be defined as the “Liebes Look.” Suffused with color, texture, and shine, this signature style was expressed equally–if not even more robustly–in Liebes’s work in fashion. From her career’s start to its finish, Liebes was creatively engaged with clothing designers and keen to work in the field for its exciting pace–fast enough to keep up with her ideas.
