[font=Arial, Helvetica, San Serif][size=-1]LUELLA: "The English have a love affair with New York, and vice versa," says Luella Bartley, who has lived in London since she was 18 but began showing her collection here in 2002. "I like bringing Britishness - horses, aristo-eccentricity and London history, from punk to ska, to New York Fashion Week. My collections always have a nod toward music and youth scenes, so New York has a wealth of inspiration for me."[/size][/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, San Serif][size=-1]Luella blouse, show piece only, and silk pin-tucked skirt, $820. Skirt and similarly styled blouses at Saks Fifth Avenue and Nordstrom stores. Luella purse. Christian Louboutin shoes.

[font=Arial, Helvetica, San Serif][size=-1]BOUDICCA: Boudicca designers Zowie Broach and Brian Kirkby fell right into step with the New York City vibe when they came over from London last February to show their fall collection - "so fitting for the streets photographed by Stieglitz, walked by Duchamp, challenged by Salinger; and that is just a part of the history that echoes around us and makes us part of who we are today."[/size][/font]
