Luella Deville, Oh How You Scare Me!


London fashion week has started. I wasn't too excited until I saw HERS.

So stunned is definitely not the word to describe my feelings on how amazing Luella Bartley's RTW '09 show was. It was so over the top, it was scary but sexy at the same time. A mix of the 80s punk rock with the 40s lady charm. "I wanted it to be a proper, ladylike character—but a bit psychedelic," Bartley stated to the press. And it was very apparent in her collection. She designed exactly what she was going for, making the collection cohesive as well as exciting.

Likes: Her patchwork skirts and cool blazers. The lady is as innovative as she is smart. The colors were also amazing. Who thought you could send orange, pink, purple, and green tweed down a runway and NOT look tacky. Amazing.

Dislikes: I have not one bad thing to say. The accessories were used correctly as well as inspiring. The veils and pillboxes weren't over the top, but perfectly incorporated into the theme. Shoes of all different heights & types walked that runway. The variety was to die for. She took risks and they paid off.

She will: probably have the best fashion show of London week. Who can top this?

Rating: 9.5 out of 10. Just because I refuse to give anyone a 10. Big heads & all.

[P.S.] I really want those glasses #5 is wearing. Luella, send me a pair & you could be bumped up. . .
