Nichola Cyzy, Frida Gustavsson and Shu Pei Qin in Luella Honestly, there was one point in my life when I feel that I am too old to wear Luella.

Stripping away the teeny, cutesy haberdashery of the collection had the effect of focusing attention on silhouettes: princess coats with Peter Pan collars, pannier dresses with... Read Full Story

One of my favorite eras was beautifully recalled on the London Runway when British designer Luella Bartley showcased her candy girls for all the world to see. The Sixties are alive and chic again! Puffy party dresses were featured, some sporting polka dots and sweetheart necklines while others looked like they were dipped in a sugary syrupy mix as they sashayed down the catwalk boasting effortless chic.

For Spring/Summer 10 the Luella girl has grown up … Gone are the ditsy prints and layers of tulle we’ve come to expect from the former Voguette-turned-designer.
