“..un vêtement Lutz est très parlant en lui-même. Après des années 90 qui ont été comme une page blanche de la mode, sa relecture du vestiaire quotidien injecte une création visible au sein de vêtements que le siècle dernier avait littéralement aseptisés. Comme Nicolas Ghesquière pour Balenciaga, la force de Lutz est de réinventer le banal par un artifice de construction qui nous le re-révèle. En ce temps de désir en créations singulières, c’est une façon d’envisager une rupture avec ce qui est derrière nous qui forcément m’interpelle.” Olivier Saillard in conversation with Samuel Drira , ENCENS Magazine, 2004

“LUTZ, UN FONCTIONNALISME BAROQUE”… ‘Lutz ne cache rien, mais reproduire son idée peut élever d’un supplice analogue à une imitation a la sorcellerie. Souvent, devant un de ses modèles, l’embarras le dispute à l’admiration: pourquoi n’y avait-on pas songé plus tôt? Question qui contient sa réponse: parce-qu’en mode comme ailleurs, il y a toujours quelqu’un qui se donne le mal d’être contemporain”. Samuel Drira in ENCENS Magazine, Lutz Monographie 10ème Collection, Automne/Hiver 2004/05

“…this whole notion of old and new is completely gone, in a way, because a beautiful garment is a beautiful garment…there’s no rule about how people dress these days,” the designer observed backstage before the show. Taking full advantage of this welcome state of affairs, he offered a lineup of deconstructed jean jackets, bombers with ruffles or drawn tight to the waist with a Fifties New Look flair, and, what he claimed to be his first jacquard cocktail dress. This, he tucked under a trenchcoat and, in a pin-striped version, layered on top of matching trousers. (..) The alligator print was very chic. So were the polka dots (..) applied to a dress paired with matching boots. The added measure of elegance overall contributed to the strength of this forward-looking collection.” Mimosa Spencer on LUTZ HUELLE SS19 on WWD

LUTZ HUELLE S/S 2018 “I was thinking about how there is no more generational gap in how we dress – Mothers dressing like their daughters, daughters raiding the closets of their mothers (or their fathers !), and how even the idea of “old” or “new” seems old today. So, this collection became about a certain classicism or even elegance put into the context of how we dress today. A Trenchcoat in pure cotton has its sleeves cut into an exaggerated Bell shape to add a sense of drama to a simple wardrobe staple. A Jacquard cocktail Dress (a first for me !) is worn under a men’s Trench or cut in Pinstripe wool over matching pants. Coats with oversized sleeves and tiny shoulders cut in classic motifs of roses, dots, or animalier are worn over sweatshirts or oversized men’s shirts. Denim Jackets and Bombers have swathes of Jacquard ruffles attached to the front or are cut into tiny waisted Jackets. Worn with fluid skirts they transform the classic silhouette of fitted jacket and skirt. Finally, a men’s shirt and classic dotted blouse have their front panels twisted to reveal the body underneath in an unexpected way.”
