Tuleh’s elaborate, high-profile frocks became a fast favorite with New York’s upper crust after Bryan Bradley and then-partner Josh Patner launched the label in 1998. Detailed touches like hand-rolled hems and glass buttons amplify the “pretty-pretty” quotient, but the designs sometimes veer toward the tongue-in-cheek, attracting attention with glaring colors and comedy prints. Since Patner left to pursue the writer’s life in 2002, Bradley has taken the styles in a darker, more ironic direction while retaining the brand’s loyal socialite following.
“They're in touch with the end of the century. There is a need for glamour and sophistication. There has to be people who give women ballgowns with yards of imaginative fabric. Tuleh has a Southern Gothic feeling. There is a sophistication lacking in American clothes. Everyone thinks it's enough to put a pale blue cashmere sweater in six-ply with a terra-cotta skirt and call it fashion. Tuleh is the antidote.”—André Leon Talley The New York Times
