Save Luella and the rest of the world

Thursday, November 12, 2009



The quirky British fashion label, Luella, ceased trading after the producer, Carla Carini, unexpectedly closed last month and the ss10 line could not fulfill its orders.  Luella Bartley won British Fashion Awards' Designer of the Year last year and has been worn by several celebrities such as Kate Moss and Alexa Chung.  Luella is a a British fashion favorite, which is why it saddens me to see such a unique line fall.  This recession is the most horrible thing to happen to our generation.  Families losing their jobs and houses, students dropping out of college due to not being able to afford it, scholarships not being given out as frequently, and dreams are being crushed due to lack of money to support them.  I can't even explain how much it saddens me we must witness this.  I want to save Luella as much as the next fashionable fan, but I also want to save the rest of this world.  Not only is Luella hurting, but  many other designers as well.  If Luella is one of the first to go, well, it won't stop there.  Next it will be an even bigger label like Dior (I have no sources on that, I'm just using an example).    I mean, Conde Nast just closed numerous magazines--Elle Girl--being one of them. I just hope and pray that we will pull ourselves out of this recession and things will soon start looking up.  *Finger crossed*
