Lutz Huelle F/W 2019 ‘The Voyageuse’ Travelling like never before in my life got me thinking about ease and movement, even in pieces that we are not supposed to travel in. I have always loved the idea of wearing dramatic pieces to do boring things- going to the supermarket in a pink bubblecoat might make the experience so much more enjoyable, also, you never know who you might run into. Roomy capes in double wool or fluid wool crepe are like blankets that fall over the shoulders. Another cape in beige cotton gabardine or rainproof nylon is worn as a sleeveless raincoat, with a hoodie underneath cut in lurex jacquard to cover the arms. A pink ‘Lantern-Sleeve’ jacket is worn with a soft mohair jumper and permanently creased skirt that even after hours of sitting on a plane will look perfect- it cannot be creased anymore than it already is. A biker jacket and wool coat have oversized, draped hoods or collars to huddle in while sitting in drafty airport lobbys. Cotton shirts have folded, plunging necklines, with added waterfall diamanté necklaces and earrings they turn into an evening dress the time it takes to rush from a cab into the ballroom. A bubble raincoat in black nylon is both protective and comforting, cut in pink taffetas it tuns into a dramatic operacoat. Finally, long skirts in silver jacquard are paired with mohair sweaters and jewellery: perfect for both lounging on the sofa and hitting the town. Photos Show by Gio Staiano Header Photo by Kira Bunse
