CCH Collection is a contemporary women’s clothing line owned and designed by sisters Alston Armfield and Carter Johnston. During autumn 2014, CCH Collection opened its flagship store at 5718 Grove Avenue in Richmond. Johnston studied selections from the Valentine’s Costume and Textile Collection to find inspiration for her modern twist on the “Liberty Dress.”“When I think of ‘Liberty,’ I think of strength and freedom. I wanted to create a dress with bold structural elements such as sharp pleats and a deep plunging V on both sides to represent ‘strength,’ and fluid elements such as the drapey sleeves and soft flowing skirt to represent ‘freedom.’ To me, the modern woman is confident, strong and free. I wanted to create a dress that embodied all three of those things.”–Carter Johnston
