Luella Bartley, herself, is an interesting subject, and her designs mirror her personality. New York Magazine calls Bartley "famously kooky". Bartley was a former journalist, and she shows her tabloid sensibilities in the names of her designs. With collection titles like, "Dial F for Fluoro" and "Daddy, Who Were The Clash?" Bartley shows her flair for a good headline. In 2001, Bartley's Dial F collection inspired the worldwide trend of graffiti chic.

With friends like Kate Moss, Phoebe Philo of Chloe fame, and a design sensibility that has been called "like Stella McCartney, but harder" Luella Bartley is a unique designer with unique designs. Rather than creating in a grand tradition like many French and Italian houses, Luella designs from her own inimitable experience and style. Luella is a singular design vision.
