Description

What makes English girls the coolest in the world? What is the English
style which girls around the world try to emulate? In this book Luella
Bartley - the fashion designer dubbed "Queen Luella" by The Observer - sets
out to capture what it is that makes English girls just a little bit
special. First up are the clothes - Luella investigates the combination of
smart and scruffy, classic and street-style, which ensures that English
girls are always at the cutting edge of fashion. Then there are the icons -
the English girl knows that Kate Moss and The Duchess of Devonshire both
have a place in the style pantheon. Luella explains the style tribes vying
for the English girl's allegiance, the social rituals she undergoes - from
surfing in Cornwall to clubbing in Berlin - and the status symbols she
marks herself out with. All this requires a lot of photographs, drawings,
and, occasionally, diagrams. But Luella's Guide to English Style isn't
simply a book about fashion and style, it's a work of social anthropology -
delivered with a wink and a kiss on the cheek. Luella describes the English
girl's approach to love and shows how the English girl gets better with
age. With her own fashion label and background as a writer and editor on
Vogue and the London Evening Standard, Luella Bartley is brilliantly placed
to map out English style and what it means for girls. "This book will be a
kind of handbook to everything English and stylish" - Luella.
