[ Punk notions: Bartley used a collection of hardware as decoration alongside feminine clothing to create an elcletic collection for A/W 09/10 (Photo:GEOFF PUGH) ] Luella Bartley’s muse may spend more time on the club scene than the pony club these days, but there’s still a hint of girlie-flirtatiousness about her.
Bartley played with punk notions, oversized zips and a lot of hardware as decoration, including dungaree clips, dog-clips and D-rings.
There were nods to the standard issue airman’s sweater – in blue, with cotton patches – and to utility clothing, in bib-front pinafores, but the pinafore was in a gorgeous emerald silk faille and the sweater was worn with skinny, tailored, check trousers.
These are the kind of clothes adored by the likes of Alexa Chung and Peaches Geldof – feminine, but with tons of attitude: polka dot knit cardigans, buttoned-up with gold lame skirts; zipped tops with muted-spot tulle skirts; and sexy jodhpurs in grey, with a gathered, sack-waist, that flattered the legs like tights.
Gold tights and patent slingbacks with furry pom-poms were a glam throwaway. For party-time, Bartley’s Luella girl opted for brocade trousers with fake fur capes and little reticule-like bags, or else, more dressy ‘frocks’ in panels of black and semi-transparent cream, with a short-sleeved bodice and a full skirt.
