It is finally confirmed, Luella Bartey will show her Spring Summer 2008 during London Fashion Week this September. Bartley follows on the heels of Marc Jacobs, who also showed his line in London when he opened his first UK boutique in the same week. Bartley is opening her first London store on Brook Street this summer. It’s not yet confirmed whether Bartley will continue to show in London after her spring show, a spokeswoman for the designer told WGSN.

Bartley, who has shown her collection in New York since September 2001, has long drawn on London as inspiration for her work. Her first show in London in February 2000 was called “Daddy, who were the Clash?” and she has since channeled everything from the Sloane Rangers to Mods. Next up for Luella is a store opening in Hong Kong in September, while a shop-in-shop unit opened in Takashiyma in Tokyo in March.
