‘I wanted people to look at the clothes and not be able to categorize them. They’re not readable as sexy or intellectual or romantic , but at the same time, they’re all of these things’ Lutz on S/S 2001 in DAZED
LUTZ HUELLE S/S 2001 ‘THE BOXEUSE’, Photos of the show of the infamous second collection: Super-highwaisted Boxer-Pants, Towels worn as evening dresses, Cardigans in gold, blue and red Lurex worn as tanktops. All accessorized with jewellery hanging out of pant-pockets as if put there as an afterthought and band-aids plastered on knees and elbows. I wanted savage and carnal but in a calm, concentrated way – like I thought a Boxer must feel before a fight.

LUTZ HUELLE No.2 S/S 2001 ‘The Boxeuse’ Inspired by Boxing, and the slouchy attitude of clothes that are too long, too short, very low on the hips ,or very high up the waist. Jackets and Trenchcoats were gliding down the body, opening up shoulders and Decolletes; Pants and Skirts were riding up the body, elongating the shilhouette. Towels were worn with gold Cardigans as evening dresses, and the only Tailleur was in Sweatshirt, with Lurex Finishings.
