>> INSIDER WIRE —A number of companies are in a state of flux — Versace, Aquascutum, and Christian Lacroix among them — now add Luella to the list. Designer Luella Bartley is said to be restructuring her company, and may be parting with Club 21, which holds her brand's license for ready-to-wear and accessories.  Sources tell WWD Luella may in fact be looking to take back control of her label.

Luella Relaunches Website, Goes E-Commerce

British label Luella unveiled a new website this weekend and it's fully e-commerce enabled. The site is simple and to the point--there is an online store stocked with the current collection as well as an about section and an opportunity to join the email list. So far, there is no lead-in to the Fall 2009 collection but we wouldn't be surprised if it were in the pipeline.

Quote Of The Day: Sarah Mower On Luella Fall 2009

"Building a brand" can sound like a dull and onerous mission these days, especially for a junior-focused designer who came out of London's free and easy years.
by coutorture "Building a brand" can sound like a dull and onerous mission these days, especially for a junior-focused designer who came out of London's free and easy years. Yet that's exactly what Bartley is proving herself capable of now. There's value for money in each of her outfits, from all the patchworking of contrasting fabrics that goes on in a single piece (a dress might be made up of a polka-dot top fused to a draped bustier, connected to a wool skirt) down to the Confederate caps and fur pompoms on the toes of her pumps. The sense of continuity shows an impressive business focus, but even better, somehow, is the way Bartley will also break into a bit of gold lamé to keep things "up."

The statement piece of the outfit was the ruffled skirt from Luella, which she wore with a basic black tank and a couple of gold necklaces. Effortless and easy. Shop it now.

Luella Polly Corset Dress: Love It or Hate It?

Yowza. This Luella Polly Corset Dress ($1,845) is truly a blast from the past. The cut and hot pink embellishments are straight from the '80s. Don't get me wrong — I love the bright contrast — but the diagonal stripes, ruched chiffon, and ruffle embellishments create a zany effect. On the other hand, it might just take the right girl to rock Luella's creation. What say you?

Fall 2009 London Trend Report: Graphic Transparency

In London, modern and minimal looks ruled and graphic transparency was a major trend.
by coutorture

In London, modern and minimal looks ruled and graphic transparency was a major trend. Like luxe turned inside out, transparent, colorless fabrics communicated a need for something special without even a hint of vulgarity. This season London was all about the personal, forward-looking fashion statement.

London Fashion Week A/W 2009: Luella Luella Bartley is like the Madonna of the fashion world. She constantly reinvents herself to make sure no two collections look the same. However, she does always dress the same girl — the hip Londoner. For Autumn '09 she recruited hip London scenesters Pixie Geldof and Portia Freeman to show off her funky military school kids inspired line.
