After a high profile appointment and subsequent exit at Marc by Marc
Jacobs, the former creative directors Luella Bartley and Katie Hillier
merged together to start their own fashion label, Hillier Bartley.

As the first collection hits stores this autumn, the London-based duo
focussed on Savile Row fabrics, classic and refined tailoring, with a sense
of insoucience. Bartley quotes a passage from Lucien Freud’s biography as
inspiration: “I love that thing of people who wear very good clothes
carelessly. I came across a page that describes him as walking a line
between vanity and vagrancy.”

According to British Vogue online, the label was launched with their own
financial investment meaning they get to speak directly to their customer
without the machinery of a corporation around them.

Hillier stated she can create accessories without compromise of
construction and cost, but be authentic in her design vision.

The collection will be available online at Matchesfashion.com and retails
from 365 pounds for high waisted denim to 2,000 pounds for a tassle-tie
coat.

Star fashion photographer David Sims, who happens to be Bartley’s partner,
photographed the look book and first released images.
